+<h1>Adding Kodi Login Option</h1>
|
|
|
+<p>
|
|
|
+ Trisquel GNU/Linux has XBMC, but not Kodi. Installing its XBMC
|
|
|
+ package puts an option on the login screen to use no desktop
|
|
|
+ environment and just XBMC. This provides a more complete experience
|
|
|
+ without the distraction of unnecessary desktop software.
|
|
|
+ Unfortunately, XBMC is a very old version of Kodi,
|
|
|
+ and <a href="https://f-droid.org/packages/org.xbmc.kore/">Kore</a></p>,
|
|
|
+ the remote control app for Kodi
|
|
|
+ on <a href="https://replicant.us/">Replicant</a>, will not work with
|
|
|
+ XBMC.</p>
|
|
|
+<p>
|
|
|
+ Fortunately, there is a way to get the latest version of Kodi
|
|
|
+ without accidentally installing proprietary software, and it should
|
|
|
+ work on any GNU/Linux <abbr title="operating system">OS</abbr>.</p>
|
|
|
+<h2>Install Kodi</h2>
|
|
|
+<ol>
|
|
|
+ <li>Install Guix. See <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Binary-Installation.html"><cite>GNU Guix Reference Manual: Binary Installation</cite></a>.</li>
|
|
|
+ <li><kbd>guix package --install kodi</kbd></li>
|
|
|
+</ol>
|
|
|
+<h2>Add Login Entry</h2>
|
|
|
+<ol>
|
|
|
+ <li>Find XBMC login setting: <kbd>find / -name 'XBMC.desktop'</kbd></li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Go to it. In my case: <kbd>cd /usr/share/xsessions/</kbd></li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Make a copy for Kodi: <kbd>cp XBMC.desktop Kodi.desktop</kbd></li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Edit <samp>Kodi.desktop</samp>, replacing <samp>xbmc-standalone</samp> with Guix's <samp>kodi-standalone</samp>: <kbd>sed -i 's|xbmc-standalone|/gnu/store/kmj9rm1ygsf702x3cxhy78fi960psdfz-profile/bin/kodi-standalone|g' Kodi.desktop</kbd></li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Edit <samp>Kodi.desktop</samp> renaming XBMC to Kodi: <kbd>sed -i 's|XBMC|Kodi|g' Kodi.desktop</kbd></li>
|
|
|
+</ol>
|
|
|
+<p>
|
|
|
+ Kodi should now be an option in your display manager. To log into Kodi, log out and select the Trisquel logo next to your name. Choose <q>Kodi</q> from the menu.</p>
