I think it's worth adding an edit here to the effect that - to my knowledge - there's no way of enabling an ubuntu account to auto-login, and so to autostart Kodi, if the installation uses encrypted home directories. I had this issue and have posted on the Ask Ubuntu site to this effect.

May I add a subsection outlining how to remove encrypted home directories per the linked answer above?

I updated this old page. I think it could be a lot better. It needs instructions for RPM-based commands and commands on systems like Manjaro which use a different command set. I could do this in time. Anyone who knows how to easily convert the commands can as well. It is very basic stuff. I am surprised no one has written about writing an Xsession script before. Kodi standalone service is new software. It was in the Arch Linux repo, but it got moved. This page could use some screenshots, and I think could be a How-To for any Linux.
