      @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.

              @Parabolaralus
              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.
