Is there a fix for kodi unable to create gui

I tried using shell scripts, and am able to start kodi on my logged in user (not openhab) through a command in a shell logged in as Openhab. what i meant by not beeing able to start is through the openhab binding, as u concluded correctly out of my badly written explanation. But when you run a shell script, you are given a shell and can run shell commands, set environment variables, etc. the binding gets a shell and therefore standard shell commands (e.g.programs and scripts have the same environment variables, paths, and other settings as the normal logged in user.The problem people run into with the Exec binding is they assume: Then use the Exec binding to run that script. If you are trying to say that you are trying to start an X program through openHAB using the Exec binding, then you will probably want to write a shell script that exports the display and runs the program all from the script. openHAB, running under the openhab user, has no impact or influence over your other logged in users and therefore would not be preventing you from starting any X programs under that user. These are completely different environments. You say you cannot start kodi with your non-openhab user but you conclude that the Exec binding is causing the problem. Your description is confusing and contradictory. Openhab user trying to start kodi AS вЂњnormalвЂќ user (described commands)= kodi crash Manual start through ssh as Openhab= works fine (described commands) Openhab user start kodi = kodi running but not on Display I will try to provide a clear description soon if its not a common noob issue, or not descriptive enough. I can start Kodi with ssh loged in as Openhab and вЂњexport Display:0 kodiвЂќ or even running вЂњsu -c kodi lukasвЂќ (with some sudo tinkering). My research lead me to the conclusion, that the Exec Binding can not export the display or in any case use one at all. i want to start it through exec which is logged under Openhab user, but i am logged in as another user, through desktop) my logged in User (not Openhab). I try using Openhab in combination with Kubuntu 16.10 (new Hardware so i need the newest drivers) but am unable to start a desktop program (Kodi) on (not as. SO it might be that my Isuue is noob related and i apologize but i couldnt find it anywhere. couple of weeks ago i actually started to set up some test services and stuff. See my comments on those answers.I am starting to set up a Smarthome and have followed Openhab for a while now. If the questioner is using ifup rather than NetworkManager to configure network interfaces then jmartin2279's answer is correct: you have to add the nameserver addresses to /etc/network/interfaces in the way jmartin2279 described.Д¬ontrary to what some other answers advise, in general you should not add nameserver, domain or search options to files in /etc/resolvconf//. sudo restart network-managerДЄfter this, non-local nameserver addresses will be entered into nf instead of the 127.* address. To comment out the line, put a # at the beginning of the line, then save the file. In that case the questioner should edit /etc/NetworkManager/nf sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/nf It is possible that the local nameserver is not working properly. | IPv4 Settings | Additional DNS servers. If the network interface on the local machine is statically configured then the correct nameserver addresses have to be entered into NetworkManager at, for example, network indicator | Edit Connections. So in this case it is the DHCP server that may need to be configured. The DHCP server knows what nameserver address its clients should use and sends this information to the DHCP client, which sends it to NetworkManager, which sends it to resolvconf, which puts the information into nf. In that case nothing needs to be configured on the local system. Most often interfaces are configured using the DHCP protocol. I assume that the questioner is using NetworkManager and not ifup to configure interfaces. I don't know exactly what this means, but here is the right way to enter nameserver addresses so that they end up in nf at the right time. The questioner tried using the 'network settings GUI' to 'generate the file with the right settings' and this failed to work. If name service is not working then the local nameserver is not being given correct forwarding addresses, or there is some other networking problem. It is correct, assuming that the questioner wants to use the local nameserver. So the solution is not to make any changes to nf. In Ubuntu 12.10 the listen address has been changed to 127.0.1.1. And in Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop there is, by default, a local nameserver running, namely, a dnsmasq process controlled by NetworkManager which listens on 127.0.0.1. What none of the answers posted so far addresses is the appearance that the questioner fails to understand that having nameserver 127.0.0.1 in /etc/nf is correct, assuming that a local nameserver is running.
