Fofix problems

shift

the desktop works, but not fofix. I reinstalled the image of retropie 4.4 clean, I installed fofix, and then pixels, but nothing, same error.

mitu

@shift If the desktop works, you can run Fofix from the desktop session - does that work ?

I have the exact same problem and error message. Its a port included in retropie-extra pack. I`m not sure what to do.

I tried to run fofix from the desktop but it does not work. A window opens, but then closes and returns everything as it was before it was launched.

I launched this command: sudo chmod 666 /dev/tty0 and runcommand.log changed like this:

Has anyone solved the problem?

Every port that I've created that uses Xorg and the glshim to function (including this one) no longer works with RetroPie. Ever since whatever changed in the last major release to Stretch, something's broken. We used to have a package installed to allow users to set up who has the right to open up xorg (I think it was xorg-server-legacy) but that apparently isn't what we're supposed to do anymore so... I have several of these packages that are currently unusable and I need someone's help to figure this out.

Sorry, package is xserver-xorg-legacy.

@zerojay OK, so I took a stab at this and the solution was right under our nose - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/6304/desktop-from-ports-fails-to-load-4-1/25.
So, long story short - instead of a simple xinit program, running it with xinit program -- vt1 -keeptty will not yield any more Xorg permission errors and actually starts the program.
I tried with fofix and at least now it starts in X, but has some program errors after is started and it stops. I also installed crack-attack and it started with the selection screen, but unfortunately I don't have a keyboard and couldn't progress further. Supertuxkart looked like a good candidate, but downloading 0.5 Gb of game data was a bit much (and I tried crack-attack instead).
Maybe you can give it a test and see if it fixes some of the programs depending on X and the ones depending on OpenGL.

I'll give it a shot tonight.

@mitu could you tell me the correct procedure to start fofix? is it enough to modify the file /opt/retropie/configs/ports/fofix/emulators.cfg or do I have to do anything else?? Thank you

shift

with this change:

fofix = "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/retropie/supplementary/glshim LIBGL_FB=1 xinit fof
ix -- vt1 -keeptty"
default = "fofix"

to the file /opt/retropie/configs/ports/fofix/emulators.cfg the result of fofix.log is the following:

@shift Hi, were you able to figure out this problem? I am having the same issue.

zacknawrocki

@mitu Hi, were you able to fix the problem where the programs eventually stops after starting up? I can load the game, but selecting an option from the main menu causes it to stop with the error "xinit: connection to X server lost"

mitu

@zacknawrocki There's nothing new since the last message that I added to the topic - I'm not interested in Fofix so I didn't try to find a solution to the error.
