I am running Ubuntu on my media center. It has Kodi running and it is on 24/7 - well when it runs. It will freeze randomly while being idle, never while it is running anything on Kodi. When it freezes you can hear small click/static-y sounds from the TV where it is hooked up to via HDMI. It hasn't been able to run 2 days straight without a freeze since I have installed Ubuntu.
My system specifications are:
- Intel i7 4770
- Gigabyte Z87-D3HP motherboard
- 16GB HyperX Blu memory
- Intel series 330 SSD 120gb (where Ubuntu is installed)
- WD Blue 2TB for media
- XFX 650W Bronze semi-modular PSU
It's using the onboard Intel HD 4600 graphics. (I have installed no drivers for it, I simply couldn't find any.)
EDIT: When it freezes I cannot SSH into the machine.
How do I go about troubleshooting the issue? My experiences with Linux are limited, it has been very on and off the last 10 years.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
. The version of Kodi in the Ubuntu repos is outdated, so this will install the latest version from the official Kodi PPA.
