kodi on rbp4 "Unable to create GUI."

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[philipp@alarmpi ~]$ pacman -Q| grep linux

I copy'n'paste the output.
The system is usually up to date. I run -Syu regularly.

Not sure if this is of any importance:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[philipp@alarmpi ~]$ sudo systemctl enable kodi
Failed to enable unit: File /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service already exists and is a symlink to /usr/lib/systemd/system/lxdm.service.
[philipp@alarmpi ~]$ sudo systemctl enable kodi.service
Failed to enable unit: File /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service already exists and is a symlink to /usr/lib/systemd/system/lxdm.service.
[philipp@alarmpi ~]$ ')

Will do what you just wrote now.

Just so we are on the same page here, before I delete the display-manager (sounds kind of important)

I have the system as a desktop with Xfce and use Kodi for movies and music. Will disabling and rm a service compromise that?

That is exactly what I did. I think‌...
This is what gave me the Error:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
$ kodi
ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
')

Ah... you're running X11 I guess. We are providing kodi-gbm. I don't think it can run under X at all. I think your only option is to stop lxdm and then start kodi. You might have to reference the alias:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl stop display-manager
systemctl start kodi')

Try it and let me know.
