[packman] Kodi hangs the system

[Sagi Ben-Akiva]

Hi Ricardo,

I've just installed Kodi on a freshly installed machine with openSUSE Leap
42.1.
I don't get those freezes which you described.
Maybe it is an addon that cause this freeze ?

Please check 'Enable debug logging' under system --> settings --> system-->
logging
and rerun kodi


Thanks,
  Sagi
