Kodi-standalone stopped working

Question

I've been using kodi-standalone (formerly xbmc-standalone) for a long time to start kodi when my machine boots. I just updated my system and the kodi-standalone service no longer works. When the machine boots, the screen goes black and then brings you to a terminal login prompt. I can start X just fine using the startx command, and the command used by the service works if you type it out when logged in.
All I have to go on in is the Xorg.log.0 file which doesn't really have any helpful info.
