Kodi error messages

Troubleshooting
1

Before installing Kodi on a Raspberry Pi or thin client, I installed dietpi in a virtual machine and installed Kodi.

However, I get error messages:
[W] [00218.926825] pw.conf | [ conf.c: 939 try_load_conf()] can’t load config dient.conf: No such file or directory
[E] [00218.927117] pui.conf | [ conf.c: 963 pw_conf_load_conf_for_context()] can’t load default config client.conf: No such file or directory

I can start kodi, but it crashes again and again

Here is some data for classification:

G_DIETPI_VERSION_CORE=9
G_DIETPI_VERSION_SUB=5
G_DIETPI_VERSION_RC=1
G_GITBRANCH=‘master’
G_GITOWNER=‘MichaIng’
G_LIVE_PATCH_STATUS[0]=‘not applicable’

Distro version : bookworm

Linux DietPi 6.1.0-22-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.94-1 (2024-06-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux

It should work even with this message. How do you start Kodi?

3

So I can ignore the messages?

I start kodi with the command “startkodi”

Pls try following

startkodi -standalone
5

okay - thanks
the following is returned after I start with: root@DietPi:~# startkodi -standalone

kodi is started as usual.

But Kodi is working without issues?

I can open Kodi
but I had to restart a few times during configuration because the program stopped responding (crashed)
my assumption was, that this behavior has something to do with the error messages
