Assuming you want Kodi to work with MythTV, current Kodi 17 works with 
mythtv 0.28, 29 and 30pre (Master)

Depending on Ubuntu version you may need to use Kodi ppa (use stable) 
see https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux

Xubuntu 18.04 has Kodi  17.6 Debian package version: 
2:17.6+dfsg1-1ubuntu1 Media Center Kodi from Debian

General Kodi information https://kodi.wiki/view/First_time_user

Keyboard controls https://kodi.wiki/view/Keyboard_controls

Installing mythtv pvr addon https://kodi.wiki/view/MythTV_PVR

Note by default channel numbers in Kodi are different to those in MythTV 
backend, to change this in Kodi go to

Settings>PVR & Live TV Settings>

     Change Settings to "Advanced" this enables some hidden settings

     In General select "Use channel numbers from backend" and restart Kodi
