The stable image from the download page include nf file which should not be there! Curiously a freshly built image by me instead does not include that file, which should be there only on mainline images. I will update the media framework in the next days to include the apt-mark commands automatically, so this further step won't be needed.Įdit: ah, another thing about /etc/X11/ directory. This is not exactly tested, because I'm headless right now, so if you feel comfortable enough, it may be a wise idea to start from a fresh system. If you start from a fresh system, just run the apt-mark hold commands after installing the media framework and you should be fine enough.

The install the media framework packages manually:Īnd finally mark the packages as hold, so apt upgrade won't try to update them:Īpt-mark hold kodi kodi-addon-dev kodi-bin kodi-data kodi-tools-texturepackerĪpt-mark hold ffmpeg libavutil56 libpostproc55 libswscale5 libavutil-dev libpostproc-dev libswresample3 libavresample4 libswscale-dev libavcodec58 libavcodec-dev libavresample-dev libavformat-dev libavfilter7 libavfilter-dev libavdevice58 libavdevice-dev

However, to try to get back the media framework situation, first uninstall the wrong armsoc driver: It is unclear to me why it tries to install packaged Kodi instead of keeping the one from media-framework, but probably I made some mess with versioning. I don't know why, but it tries to install armsoc-exynos as a dependency of Kodi. If apt is lamenting issues about armsoc, that's because of a previous package upgrade. I just tried to install the lightdm-autologin-greeter and uninstall lightdm-gtk-greeter and, after a reboot, it looks like it works:Īpt install lightdm-autologin-greeter & apt remove lightdm-gtk-greeter Made some further investigation and it seems that lightdm-gtk-greeter is the great offender: the package in Ubuntu Focal seems to be broken for armhf architecture:
