[Bug 1837170] Re: Kodi package crash after the update of libdrm-amdgpu1

[Tom Lake]

I've found a different problem situation:

I first applied the downgrade of libdrm-amdgpu1 2.4.97-1ubuntu1~18.04.1 to 2.4.95-1ubuntu1~18.04.1, on the first launch of a newly installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 without any of the 400 updates packages available.
This way I got package Kodi working.

Now, after I update everything to the latest version, with libdrm-
amdgpu1 as well, I can no longer downgrade it. If I force it, the system
will crash.

I've figured that the removal of mesa-vdpau-drivers (which also removes
vdpau-driver-all) gets kodi running normally again, even with VDPAU
activated on settings/player.

So that's the new solution for kodi's bug.

If I downgrade 
mesa-vdpau-drivers_19.0.2-1ubuntu1.1~18.04.1_amd64.deb
mesa-vdpau-drivers_18.2.8-0ubuntu0~18.10.2_amd64.deb
kodi still won't run, only removing mesa-vdpau-drivers. This package didn't receive any update since 18.04.1 and had always been working.

I detected that the only packages required for kodi that received
upgrades is libllvm8 (has no issues) and libdrm-amdgpu1, giving me the
conclusion that the bug really is with libdrm-amdgpu1.

Trying your advices with mesa-vdpau-drivers installed:

Yes, the currently installed version of libgl1-mesa-dri is 19.0.2.

Installing the repo didn't work
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/updates

The following packages will be upgraded:
  libegl-mesa0 libegl1-mesa libgbm1 libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx
  libglapi-mesa libglx-mesa0 libwayland-egl1-mesa libxatracker2
  mesa-va-drivers mesa-vdpau-drivers

kodi's bug still remains.

I've also heard from a 19.04 user that kodi runs, maybe it's a bug
caused with some hardware models or to 18.04 specific.

Is that correct?
sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04-edge

I tried it and still nothing man.
Once again, kodi will only run with the removal of mesa-vdpau-drivers.


Thank you for your time, I really appreciate your assistance.

    libdrm (2.4.97-1ubuntu1~18.04.1) bionic; urgency=medium

  Kodi gives this error:

  #3  0x00007f47676c60aa in ?? () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/radeonsi_dri.so
  #4  0x00007f47676c5dd7 in ?? () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/radeonsi_dri.so

  Repeated several times

  #3  0x00007f475ce2c5a6 in ?? () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libLLVM-8.so.1
  #4  0x00007f475ce2c425 in ?? () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libLLVM-8.so.1

  Team-Kodi stated these errors are in relation to 'Not supported GPU
  drivers', when Kodi can't find these files.

  
  I've found the cause, and a temporary solution:

  This bug was caused after an update for the latest version of libdrm-
  amdgpu1 2.4.97-1ubuntu1~18.04.1

  So I grabbed the previous version from 
  https://mirror.transip.net/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/libd/libdrm/

  installed libdrm-amdgpu1_2.4.95-1~18.04.1_amd64.deb

  and now Kodi returns.

  
  I created a bug report, the problem affects multiple users.

  We have a PointRelease coming soon, would we have time to fix this package?

  Thank you for your assistance.
