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?
Thanks,
Paul

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.)
Thanks,
Paul
