SteamLink for Raspberry Pi Released
-
Looks like entering retropie-setup removes the xorg legacy package. Is there a way to get it working with the latest xorg package? I was getting permission problems with that one.

Fatal server error: (EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 2 (Permission denied)Xorg and steamlink should be working correctly without the legacy package (which needs to be removed due to permission issues with Xorg.wrap). I think we'll need more details than a single line to troubleshoot your issue.

@psyke83 AH, nevermind. Fixed it. Removed xorg and all its dependencies and reinstalled it all. Works now. No idea why it had permission problems in the first place. I'm using the official image.
-
@psyke83 In reinstalling the
xorgpackage, it was also reinstalling the legacy stuff so then my problem restarted. So now I've uninstalledxorg, auto removed the remaining unused packages, and uninstalled the steamlink app. I then reinstalled the steamlink app and let that install the dependencies. Same permission problem. Here's the log.

Legacy was working fine because I edited/etc/X11/Xwrapper.configand addedallowed_users=anybodybut that only exists for the legacy version? -

Legacy was working fine because I edited/etc/X11/Xwrapper.configand addedallowed_users=anybodybut that only exists for the legacy version?I'm seeing some oddities in your Xorg log. Did you enable the experimental GL (fake/full KMS) driver?
Can you show a more complete list of xorg-related packages you have installed? Mine, for reference:

@psyke83 I installed the complete xorg package (which turned out to be the legacy one) at one time but never enabled GL. The only xorg stuff I have installed now are through whatever the steamlink app installs.

Problem solved for real. Not sure what it was since I got sick of changing permissions for xorg-related folders with no results. I changed the dev folder's permission and everything in it and that did it.

SteamLink was updated to 1.1.30:

Will it be updated in RetroPie too? -
@Swampy
steamlinkis installed from the Raspbian repositories, so whenever the update is released on their repositories, it will be available for update in RetroPie also. -

Unfortunately, the bootstrapper also handles dependency resolution which usually requires user input to confirm via command-line when new packages are to be installed; the effect would be that you'd be stuck on the
runcommanddialog.The new release doesn't seem to have this problem, but it can potentially happen in future. If/when it does, I'll add the dependencies to the scriptmodule.

The controller doesn't work in emulationstation any more after exiting steamlink inside. This happens since the latest update of steamlink. I don't know weather it is a problem with RetroPie or steamlink. Steamlink installs new udev rules. Perhaps, this could be the problem.
I mentioned the problem in the steamlink forum too:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/6/1737760710137252830/ -
For now I have downgraded to version 1.1.45.105:
STEAMLINK_DATA_HOME="${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}"/SteamLink echo "file://$STEAMLINK_DATA_HOME" >"$STEAMLINK_DATA_HOME/update_url" echo "http://media.steampowered.com/steamlink/rpi/steamlink-rpi3-1.1.45.105.tar.gz" >"$STEAMLINK_DATA_HOME/public_build.txt"seen in https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/6/1660069015242109357/
and in https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/6/3681064390585946947/Then I also added " --skip-update" in the last line after "/usr/bin/steamlink" in "/opt/retropie/ports/steamlink/steamlink_xinit.sh".
Now it works again for me.

The problem is solved with the newest version 1.1.50.

Has anyone had any issues with audio?
My audio seems to work on launch of steamlink. Then stops suddenly during a game.
It seems to mute the volume during the game. Easy enough to put back on the laptop... But can't seem to do it in game? Can anyone help?
