Now you should be ready to start Kodi using service kodi start

Most likely because nobody ever does this on a server OS. However, I’ve been unable to find a working walk-through on how to install it on Ubuntu Server. Since the Barebone also sports a HDMI port and the CPU comes with an integrated Intel HD GPU I thought it would be a great Kodi (ex XBMC) mediacenter as well. I have a small Shuttle Barbebone computer which I’m mainly using as a KVM hypervisor on top of Ubuntu Server 14.04 to run a few VMs.
