      I did a fresh install with Lubuntu 19.04 and build RetroPie from scratch with Dolphin.
      It does run better. Though some games don't run butter smooth as well.
      To be honest GameCube was an extra for me. If it doesn't run well I just remove the system from my setup. No problem.

      Adding the PCSX2 ppa to my 18.04 install did not work.
      Well adding the PPA did work of course but I cannot install PCSX2 through the RetroPie menu afterwards.

        @Panja You're running a x64 arch (x86_64), pcsx2 is only available on i386 (32bit) - https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/pcsx2.

          That is correct, I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu (server).
          Reading the github page (https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/) it says:
          OS: Windows Vista SP2 or newer or GNU/Linux (32-bit or 64-bit)

          So I thought it would be possible and didn't think about noting my 64-bit build.

            @Panja I was not able to figure out why pcsx2 cannot be installed on lubuntu 19.04, but it does work fine with kubuntu and ubuntu 19.04 64-bit.

              @Panja You can still install it, you just need to add the i386 repositories - see https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/wiki/Installing-on-Linux. Scroll down to the Ubuntu installation instructions.

                Yes, I just noticed it! Thanks.
                It's installing now as we speak.

                Got it working now, well it's installing. ;-)
                Had to run sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 in terminal to add x86 (32-bit) packages.

                    I don't know if that'll fix the Lubuntu problem as well, should be though.
                    But for me on 18.04.2 Server 64-bit it did!

                    We learn every day! :-D

                      The only other thing I can think of is that it has multiarch disabled by default.

                      Try

                      sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 then apt update and try.

                      Since pcsx2 is in i386 packages

                      [Edit] I'm late to the party. This was explained above.

                        @Panja oops. Just noticed your/mitu post above.

                        I guess I could include this line in retropie. I will add it.
