Kodi will not start anymore, the error message follows. LXDE starts fine.

I experience the same issue.

It's possibly related to this commit: a2aaed5@hardkernel/linux, which updates the mali kernel driver to version r6p2. The c1_mali_libs git repo containing the userspace driver has not been updated for about a year, so I guess this is where the version mismatch comes from: https://github.com/mdrjr/c1_mali_libs

I'll open a bug report at the github issue tracker.

EDIT: Looks like the github issue tracker has been disabled.

By the way, downgrading your kernel will fix the problem until we can deal with this properly:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-odroid-c1-3.10.96-8-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz')

Until this is issue is resolved, you will then need to ignore the linux-odroid-c1 package when updating:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# pacman -Syu --ignore linux-odroid-c1')

Upstream bug: https://github.com/mdrjr/c1_mali_libs/issues/1

In the meantime, we can extract libMali.so from the Ubuntu *.deb package.
