      I installed RetroPie 4.7.1 following the instructions on https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Debian/ in Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS.
      PC Specs: Pentium 4 3.2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, nVidia Geforce 210 1 GB (OpenGL 3.0).

      OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 340.108
      

      When RetroPie launches, the screen go black and closes. After looking in forums I tried running in the terminal /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh --debug. This is the error:

      arcade@arcade-desktop:/opt/retropie/configs/all$ /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh --debug

      Aborted (core dumped)
      
      

      The log file $HOME/.emulationstation/es_log.txt it's empty.
      I removed and then reinstalled the core package emulationstation and it's not solving the issue.

      Please help :(

        What does glxinfo shows when you run it from the same terminal ? Use pastebin.com to post the output.

            The log shows your GPU has accelerated OpenGL working, so I'm not sure why EmulationStation doesn't work - the ES log doesn't show any OpenGL detected. Are you running EmulationStation from the desktop environment or from the text console ?

              Just wondering if you are got anywhere with this. I'm having the same issue with an AMD RX580 I just got.

              OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 20.1.6
