- First install Lubuntu or Xubuntu.
- Next add Kodi and Deluge repositories and update packages index:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
(Ubuntu repository has own version so this might be skipped)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa
(Ubuntu repository has own version so this might be skipped)
sudo apt-get update
- Upgrade stuff:
sudo apt-get upgrade
- Install stuff:
sudo apt-get install kodi
sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-iptvsimple
sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox
(or download Ubuntu package from dropbox and install it with gdebi)
sudo apt-get install deluged
sudo apt-get install deluge-web
- Remove residual stuff:
sudo apt-get autoremove
- Fix Dropbox:
dropbox stop
dbus-launch dropbox start
Go to Dropbox preferences and disable "Start Dropbox on system startup"
Open Autostart settings (in Lubuntu it is in "Default applications for LXSession", is Xubuntu it is in "Session and Startup") and add new item with commanddbus-launch dropbox start
- Setup Deluge services:
sudo leafpad /etc/systemd/system/deluged.service
(in Xubuntu replaceleafpad
withmousepad
, or any other text editor You like)
sudo leafpad /etc/systemd/system/deluge-web.service
Copy new files content from http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/Service/systemd.
To use same account: in[Service]
section changeUser
line, remove lineGroup=deluge
and add linePassword=your_password
.UMask
line should also be removed.
systemctl enable /etc/systemd/system/deluged.service
systemctl enable /etc/systemd/system/deluge-web.service
systemctl start deluged
systemctl start deluge-web
To auto-connect web UI to daemon:
systemctl stop deluge-web
sudo leafpad ~/.config/deluge/web-ui.conf
Set default daemon to127.0.0.1:58846
systemctl start deluge-web
- Set Kodi to auto start:
sudo leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Add lineautologin-session=kodi
I had some issues here, after starting this way only laptop screen would work and TV connected over HDMI would be blank, so instead I addedkodi
to Autostart (in Lubuntu it is in "Default applications for LXSession", is Xubuntu it is in "Session and Startup") Add source to Kodi to install Indigo:http://fusion.tvaddons.ag/
Then use Indigo to install Exodus.
Exodus is dead, use google to install Covenant or similar add-on instead.
This might be good time to create folders Movies and TV Series in home folder and add them to Kodi and to Deluge.
Also if usingExodusCovenant I would recommended to add Video Database Cleaner (direct link), otherwise library cleaning might take forever.- Keep Ubuntu running when idle:
There should be some options in Power Manager. - Keep Ubuntu running when lid is closed:
There should be some options in Power Manager, if not or they do not work then:
sudo leafpad /etc/systemd/logind.conf
SetHandleLidSwitch=ignore
sudo leafpad /etc/UPower/UPower.conf
SetIgnoreLid=true
- Set unattended upgrades:
There should be options for that in Software & Updates, if not here are some resources to read:

Bellow I listed important terminal commands and other notes important for this setup to have them all in one place:
