Hmm. that is strange… I have always thought that KODI Hanging when you Quit was normal? why? because it happens on my desktop on Linux Mint 17.2 (Ubuntu 14.04) and My previous Linux installations… I always thought this was a Linux issue and just accepted it :-). It does Exit after about a Minute or less…but yes…it has always hanged like that for me on my regular Desktops and laptops. I like wolfman’s suggestion to press “” to put it in window mode right before you exit and then just click the X to close the window…for now that works. Now if that works in KODI for Ubuntu MATE on the Pi is a different story…anyone tried it?
at the moment I Dare Not install KODI, simply because I do not have a Testing Fresh install of Ubuntu… the ones I have I worked Really hard on with all the bells and whisltes and don’t have backups…if I were to mess those Up I would be really upset…I am hoping to try cloning my Ubuntu for Pi onto other MicroSD cards…hope it works… I am going to use CloneZilla…I just got to go buy a few more MicroSD cards…and perhaps MicroSD to USB thumb drive adaptors so that CloneZilla sees them as USB flash drives instead of MicroSD cards…I don’t know if that is necessary but just incase.
