Could not initialize OpenGL /GLES library....
-
Apparently Ubuntu Minimal does not include
lightdm- could that be the issue? -
I don't think so, the libSDL2 that RetroPie builds and installs for EmulationStation should enable video working without the X.org or any desktop environment.
What is the output ofldd /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation? -

Hm, it doesn't look like it's compiled with GLES. Can you try re-installing
emulationstationfrom source again, then post the latest log from$HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logsto pastebin.com ? It should have the compilation log, with the options for GL or GLES. -
I can check/debug this on my Odroid system also @mitu
-
Alright list of steps..
- open retro_setup.sh
- update setup script from source
- uninstall/reinstall emulationstation
- Pull log and upload to Pastebin (https://pastebin.com/gtbJkWpS)
-
It looks like it's picking OpenGL over GLES, that's why it's not working correctly.
-
Have any suggestions on what I might try?
I am waaay out of my element here - but if you point me to a few sites/suggestions I might be able to figure it out.
Thank you again for your help
-
@nefariis We're looking into it - it looks like the EmulationStation build options, that have been updated recently, are not correctly picking up the GLES libraries needed.
-
I have a fix for the XU - I'm just verifying on some other boards before committing my changes - I will update here when it's done.
-
@nefariis If you clean EmulationStation build folder (if needed) and try again it should work.
-
-
Yup that fixed it and everything looks to be running ok
Thank you guys very much

Hi hopefully someone can help, I tried the troubleshooting steps here and I am still getting that error "Could not initialize OpenGL / GLES library". Just let me know what info. you'll need from me to somehow see what's the problem. I have everything installed from basic install. Reinstalled emulationstation twice already. I'm using a different board Orange Pi PC and Armbian Ubuntu Focal. Except for the problem packages that I was able to fix/got installed, retropie installed without problems. I'm stuck with that error though. I'm no expert but I am able to follow instructions and somehow find solutions on my own but for this one I really need help. I really want this to work.
-
RetroPie doesn't support Orange Pi boards, but there's a fork geared at these boards at http://www.retrorangepi.org - you can try it and see if your board is supported.
-
@mitu thank you for your reply. I understand it's not supported, but I'm hoping I can make it work. I reinstalled Armbian Buster since Raspberry Pi OS is also the same. I bought this Orange Pi before because it's cheap and if only I known that there'll be a chip shortage I should have bought a raspberry Pi 4 before, I'm trying to buy 1 now but out of stock. I have a raspberry Pi zero w but performance is not very good.

I understand it's not supported, but I'm hoping I can make it work.
It's that easy, you'll have to know the platform and adapt the RetroPie-Setup script to the packages available in the distribution. Also, a large part of the packages have special compilations and installation instructions geared towards the platform being used (RPI/Odroid/PC), so you'll have to adapt the base install script and packages to your platform.
I reinstalled Armbian Buster since Raspberry Pi OS is also the same
Raspberry Pi OS contains a RPI tailored distribution (kernel/libraries/programs) which is based on Debian stable, but it's not the same. You should start from RetrOrangePi and - if your board is not supported by it - adapt it to your system.
-
@mitu Thank you for your responses, Ill try to ask in RetrOrange Pi forum as well.
Found this online, maybe this will help?
sudo __platform=generic-x11 ./retropie_setup.sh -

I doubt it.
