You didn't post any logs - /dev/shm/runcommand.log - which might be relevant to show the actual error. What are the hardware specs of your system - video card, model, disk ?

Does your video card have hardware accelerated OpenGL ? We can check by running with Verbose Logging selected from the Runcommand launch menu - it should add more info to /dev/shm/runcommand.log.
Try launching a ROM with verbose logging, then post the log to pastebin.com.

Thanks, but how can i do this?
How launch menu "Runcommand" if I press button on the game and black screen?

mitu

@ToD The Runcommand launch menu should appear before the game is started - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/#runcommand-launch-menu.

I tried , but this menu "Runcommand" not launched. Only black screen.
If I chouse "Runcommand" menu from retropie settings - black screen too.

@ToD If you select RetroPie Setup from the RetroPie system in Emulationstation, does it work ? Does it show the Setup script ?

I will try and send log. Please wait.

There's no log created for that entry, I just want to check that launching a Dialog based script works and it's not just the Runcommand that's not working.

Ok.
I entered to menu "Runcommand" from setup folder Retropie.

Launch menu (currently: Enabled)

I reboot machine and try load game again. Without any change.

mitu

@ToD Did you install any other scripts besides the RetroPie-Setup or modified the onstart/onend scripts ?

ToD

@mitu
No. Only Retropie and Samba installing.

This my manual.

I think you should try the normal installation first - using the Desktop edition of Ubuntu - just to rule out any incompatibilities with your PC - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Debian/. Use the latest Ubuntu version (18.10) and re-try the installation from scratch.

ToD

@mitu I just tried. But other comp and installed ubuntu desktop version. all works.
May be it depend of drivers openGL and drivers? Where is find drivers and opengl soft? May be you give me right link?
Thanks

mitu

@ToD I'm not familiar with the method you've followed to install the -server version, so I can't give you any advice besides the one I've already given - use the desktop version.

ToD

@mitu Thanks for the help. I will try install opengl drivers and try launch game again. If the probled will be solved , i type about this
