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 you 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 for the moment, that's the new solution for kodi's bug: sudo apt remove mesa-vdpau-drivers sudo apt-mark hold mesa-vdpau-drivers Please follow the dev workaround at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdrm/+bug/1837170 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1836828 Title: Kodi crashes when trying to play any video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kodi/+bug/1836828/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
