Bug report

Describe the bug

Here is a clear and concise description of what the problem is:

I have installed kodi using pacman from the offiicial repos and it crashes on start.

I'm just an average linux user, I've successfully run kodi on this machine and os instance before, however after some time sound was not functioning I suspected that this had to do with my sound configuration, but that turned out to be incorrect as YouTube and other programs were working along with DAW software such as reaper. I use pulseaudio and I'm pretty certain its all in order.

I began to receive errors about libvdpau-va-gl, so i installed it and then it would just seg fault. So I removed kodi using pacman -R and reinstalled it, only to have the same crashing problem.

when pacman -R'ing kodi I ensured that there were no mentions of kodi on my system with sudo find / -iname kodi ---> output was empty

It looks like things go wrong here:

xbmc/xbmc/rendering/gl/RenderSystemGL.cpp

Lines 42 to 53 in 3b2688a

	// Get the GL version number
	m_RenderVersionMajor = 0;
	m_RenderVersionMinor = 0;
	const char* ver = (const char*)glGetString(GL_VERSION);
	if (ver != 0)
	{
	sscanf(ver, "%d.%d", &m_RenderVersionMajor, &m_RenderVersionMinor);
	m_RenderVersion = ver;
	}
	CLog::Log(LOGINFO, "CRenderSystemGL::{} - Version: {}, Major: {}, Minor: {}", __FUNCTION__, ver,
	m_RenderVersionMajor, m_RenderVersionMinor);

glGetString seems to return null, CLog::Log throws an exception because of that, that isn't caught and Kodi gets terminated. We can fix the crash here but even so I have doubts that things will work then because glGetString returning null hints on something being very strange.

@neo1973 Interesting, so you think this is a deeper problem in my OS configuration rather than a kodi problem? The weird thing is I've had it running on here before, is there any way for me to refresh these libraries its using?

[neo1973]

Interesting, so you think this is a deeper problem in my OS configuration rather than a kodi problem?

Yes, that's most likely. If this would be a more common Kodi problem this would most likely already have been reported.

The weird thing is I've had it running on here before, is there any way for me to refresh these libraries its using?

If you did everything through the package manager then I can't think of problem that would be fixed by reinstalling packages. But you can try to launch Kodi with the --debug option, this will create a debug log and maybe it contains some useful additional information.

This report sounds awfully close to #18076

Cheerio mate, that was it.
EDIT: remove libvdpau-va-gl
