Ubuntu 16.04 – Kodi stuck on “Add-on migration in progress”

Hey folks,

so i am completely stuck and need some help. Here is what i have done so far:

Background
Been running XBMC/Kodi since 2011 and most recently on Ubuntu 12.04 with Kodi 15.2

Last night i went to upgrade both the OS and Kodi and although i got very close, i am now stuck lol…here is what i did:

  1. Upgraded Ubuntu from 12.04 to 14.04
  2. Upgraded Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04
  3. Uninstalled Kodi 15.2 (Before uninstalling, Kodi 15.2 was running fine on the upgraded OS)
  4. Installed Kodi 17

Now all that happens when i launch Kodi, it shows the initial splash screen and then sit at “Add-on migration in progress – please wait…”

I check the logs and it showed some errors with old add-ons and repositories, so i removed those but it still just sits there. I reinstalled Kodi a few times just to check. I also saw a few ppl posting similar issues sometimes mentioning the CEC controller, tried disabling that and didnt help so i reverted back.

Any help would be appreciated! Here are the Kodi Logs on pastebin:
