--- Begin Message ---Package: kodi Version: 2:17.1+dfsg1-2 Severity: normal Dear Debian folks, After having added the user *kodi* with `sudo adduser kodi`, then trying to start Kodi using the systemd service unit [1] with `sudo systemctl start kodi.service`, Kodi doesn’t start, as the X.Org Server quits with a fatal error. ``` (EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 7 (Permission denied) ``` The page *HOW-TO:Autostart Kodi for Linux* in the Kodi Wiki [2] suggests to run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure x11-common`, but that doesn’t do anything on the system here. Is something else needed, to get the systemd service unit working?

Since package version 2:17.3+dfsg1-2 the upstream service unit is used. That works. (Though sometimes it still doesn’t start, but that’s probably a different issue due to some race condition.)
