      Hello all, I am running the retropie on my ubuntu 18.04 system and whenever I attempt to load a game, the screen freezes. The sound continues to play in the background as if the game was running, I also can't "x-out" of the window. I have made sure my system is up to date, I have updated retropie, installed and updated basically everything on the retropie setup window, and I ran the command found at the bottom of the setup page talking about graphics drivers (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Debian/). The only emulator that seems to work is N64 (It freezes on nes, and snes. I don't use any others). Anyone have ideas on how to fix this?

                @thekraftyman if you log out of Ubuntu and then log back in with "wayland mode" that will fix the gl driver issue
