I know, I know. A noob should not try things he’s not truly capable of, but please bear with me…
I decided that upgrading to linux 16.04 was a good idea. The upgrade wasnt a complete success, I managed to break stuff, some of them I managed to repair, some not.
For now the biggest headache is that automatic login to kodi-session is not working. User prompt on login-screen shows, but when giving the password the screen blanks for a second and then returns to login screen. Logging into lubuntu desktop-session works without problem. The password is not an issue, I can still use it for SSH-session.
EDIT: after purging the Kodi nightly install and reinstalling stable 17.1 I can manually enter Kodi by giving the password. However after reboot automatic login is not working.
My lightdm.conf
