@retropi19 Looks like you're running a custom kernel and not the default shipped with Raspbian, your X.org installation seems to be broken because of it.

retropi19

@mitu how can i fix this?

mitu

@retropi19 Did you install a custom kernel or not ? How is your installation different than a stock Raspbian Lite image ?

retropi19

@mitu its the berryboot image for Rpi4 i did not install a custom kernel

if i run rpi-update will it fix the problem?

its strange because with the same retropie buster berryboot image for Rpi2-3 it works without problem

I don't know, I don't use Berryboot.

retropi19

thanks anyway for your time

Berry boot is not supported. It's not even tested with rpi4. I may remove the images.

retropi19

@BuZz i did not know its not supported since the scripts are there i said to give it a try
thats all no need to remove the images for 3 ports that are not working
i tested the RPi4 bb image and in general perfoming ok

I feel like I have been telling people this a lot lately but you shouldn't ever be using rpi-update. It will install bleeding edge firmware that is not thoroughly tested and it can mess things up or even cause your pi not too boot.

For firmware updates you should use:

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

Sorry. I'm removing them from the weekly images.

The berryboot images were always unsupported as mentioned on our download page. They were only generated with the weekly builds due to being generated by default on our build scripts.

I may include them when we release official rpi4 images. You can generate your own, but I really don't recommend using berryboot for retropie.

It's possible I may drop them completely.

Minecraft-pi doesn't work on the rpi4. It's ancient anyway. Maybe there's an opengl version you can run. Dunno.

retropi19

@BuZz what scripts do you use to generate the berryboot images?

BuZz

@retropi19 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/08d99e4288789c72af6a3a99829d7347402bd925/scriptmodules/admin/image.sh#L281

Function uses an unpacked image on Linux. Adjusts fstab. Then creates the squashfs.

I don't have time to go into detail. There's more info online.

retropi19

@BuZz can you at least put back in the weekly images the stretch images for berryboot as they work fine only the buster image in Rpi4 has some problems thought

thank you

BuZz

@retropi19 sorry no. Use the 4.5.1 and update it or generate your own.

@buzz im trying to use the script :

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/08d99e4288789c72af6a3a99829d7347402bd925/scriptmodules/admin/image.sh#L281

to generate/build the berryboot images but when i execute the image.sh file with ./image.sh in a command line prompt in raspbian,nothing happens, do i need to run the script different or something else reguired?

BuZz

@retropi19 The image script is used via retropie_packages.sh - It's primarily built for my own use so I can't help further but the following would build an image for rpi4 including a berryboot image (berryboot building is untested for some time as we no longer support berryboot images).

sudo ./retropie_packages image depends
sudo ./retropie_packages image platform rpi4 buster 1

It would be easier to just convert an existing image though probably and will be a lot quicker. eg https://github.com/Kingo71/BerryConverter

I would appreciate it if you don't go onto other topics I'm involved in and tag me with questions on unrelated issues. That's not polite.

retropi19

@buzz thanks a lot a last thing can i make only a berryboot image? and also can i make a multiplatform image eg: rpi2-3-4 ? or just like the normal image that was released before rpi2-3
if i make an rpi3 image will work in rpi2 also?
thanks

BuZz

@retropi19 no. It makes both images.

The rpi2 images work on the rpi3. You can't make an image for RPI 2-4.
