      And have some news... from Today also whit dev.tty.tiocsti=1 joy2key start to crash anyway.

      Look here:

      diabolik@NUC-Ubuntu:~$ sudo sysctl -w dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti=1
      dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti = 1

      From right now Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS it's not more capable to use runcommand and retropie ecosystem.

        I don't see why the workaround wouldn't work anymore - I suggest you re-check that the sudo sysctl -w dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti=1 is run before your tests.
        I'm working on a solution to eliminate the workaround and the cause of the crash, but it's not yet fully tested.

          I can't even explain it to myself why it doesn't work anymore.. lol :)

          For right now my retropie.sh it's that:

          #!/bin/bash
          
          sudo sysctl -w dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti=1
          
          file=/tmp/file.$PPID
           
          if ! [ -f $file ]; 
          then 
              echo 1 >$file && sleep 1 && rm $file
          else
              sleep 10 && exit 0
          fi
          
          _isRunning() {
              ps -o comm= -C "$1" 2>/dev/null | grep -x "$1" >/dev/null 2>&1
          }
             
          if ! _isRunning emulationstatio; then
              #gnome-terminal --full-screen --hide-menubar -e emulationstation
              #sudo sysctl -w dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti=1
              gnome-terminal --full-screen --hide-menubar -- emulationstation
              #sudo sysctl -w dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti=0
              #sudo gedit
          
          fi
          
          sudo sysctl -w dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti=0
          
          exit 0
          

          Look right now.. i have tryed to put the tiocsti = 1 and 0 before and after emulationstation runned.
          It seems like they are being ignored...
          And i ask... why ?

          The strange things ? If i open manually a terminal windows and i manually enable the tiocsti and only after that i execute emulationstation runcommand work.
          If i try for .sh not work... strange.

            OMG... i have problably understand what's my issue... look that:

            diabolik@NUC-Ubuntu:~$ /usr/bin/retropie.sh
            dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti = 1
            dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti = 0
            

            Here i have tryed to launch retropie.sh from a manual opened terminal.... the tiocsti it's correctly setted to 1...

            But in my case i need to SET this value at 0 only when i exit from emulationstation.

            On my retropie.sh instead emulationstation it's correctly launched but immediatelly after the tiocsti it's setted back to 0 and runcommand it's not accessible :)

            I think I'll avoid resetting it to zero for now....We said that the setting resets when the system reboots. I just hope I don't expose my NUC Mini PC to any risks during daily use...

              Lol... founded another workaround..... right now my .local/share/application/retropie.desktop :

              [Desktop Entry]
              Type=Application
              Exec=gnome-terminal --full-screen --hide-menubar -- /usr/bin/retropie.sh
              Hidden=false
              NoDisplay=false
              X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
              Name[de_DE]=RetroPie
              Name=RetroPie
              Comment[de_DE]=RetroPie
              Comment=retropie
              Icon=/usr/local/share/icons/retropie.svg
              Categories=Game
              

              And this /usr/bin/retropie.sh :

              #!/bin/bash
              
              sudo sysctl -w dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti=1
              
              file=/tmp/file.$PPID
               
              if ! [ -f $file ]; 
              then 
                  echo 1 >$file && sleep 1 && rm $file
              else
                  sleep 10 && exit 0
              fi
              
              _isRunning() {
                  ps -o comm= -C "$1" 2>/dev/null | grep -x "$1" >/dev/null 2>&1
              }
                 
              if ! _isRunning emulationstatio; then
                  emulationstation
                  #sudo sysctl -w dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti=1
                  #gnome-terminal --full-screen --hide-menubar -- emulationstation
                  #sudo sysctl -w dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti=0
                  #sudo gedit
              
              fi
              
              sudo sysctl -w dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti=0
              
              exit 0
              

              This apparently it's a good workaround.
              basically run the retropie.sh directly in a windows terminal, the tiocsti it's setted correctly to 1. And after that emulationstation it's launched.
              Since it is launched in a terminal window runcommand is now properly accessible also from my arcade stick..
              So when i choose to exit from emulationstation tiocsti it's setted again to 0 as default and terminal windows it's closed himself.

              I thinks it's a good solution.

              Thanks in advance for support and and for future fixes that will give back the possibility to use the retropie setup script directly from emulationstation.

              -- EDIT --

              Little TWEAK Operation on retropie.sh... now it's :

              #!/bin/bash
              
              file=/tmp/file.$PPID
               
              if ! [ -f $file ]; 
              then 
                  echo 1 >$file && sleep 1 && rm $file
              else
                  sleep 10 && exit 0
              fi
              
              _isRunning() {
                  ps -o comm= -C "$1" 2>/dev/null | grep -x "$1" >/dev/null 2>&1
              }
                 
              if ! _isRunning emulationstatio; then
                  sudo sysctl -w dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti=1
                  emulationstation
                  sudo sysctl -w dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti=0
                  #gnome-terminal --full-screen --hide-menubar -- emulationstation
                  #sudo gedit
              else
                  wmctrl -a emulationstation
              fi
              
              exit 0
              

              I have to install wmctrl to set focus to emulationstation if it's already runned.

              All this it's to prevent a double istance if you made a erroneous double on retropie icon on left dock :)

                The latest RetroPie-Setup version updares joy2key to a new version that's no longer dependant on dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti being modified from the default. You can give it a try by updating RetroPiet-Setup, joy2key will be automatically updated in the process.

                  Yes I have seen the recent and latest commits.
                  Now I do all the updates... I edit everything and remove the "sysctl" entries from my retropie.sh and update you.

                  Should this also fix the 'retropie setup script' thing that crashes when launched from emulationstation?

                    I have try to run a games and press a button during runcommand windows and there's happen this:
                    c214e1da-2b6b-4332-a8d1-66a4bd4069bd-immagine.png

                    Open the detail it's appear this:
                    1c36faef-0c7c-4a8f-a3d3-d2edc686dde2-immagine.png

                    If you thinks it's usefull i can also try to run joy2key from terminal........ i try to edit this same post in a minute.

                      In a terminal it's happen this:
                      54ba29b6-4fac-4e5c-88fe-be313eaea2da-immagine.png

                      Try to lauch 'Retropie setup script' and other tools from emulationstation all goes in crash after you press a key or touch somethings on my arcade stick.

                      Look at here... for works good from terminal apparently i need to launch joy2key on sudo right now:

                        The RetroPie setup (or the other dialog based configuration tools) is using sudo to launch, but not runcommand. Your user needs to be part of the input group, which apparently is not done by default on Ubuntu ?

                        I'll modify the installation routine to make sure the user is part of the input group, so the 1st error (for runcommand ) does not happen anymore.
                        EDIT: ok, update RetroPie-Setup and then re-login/reboot, the next run of runcommand (starting a game) should not give you an error.

                                @mitu said in Retropie setup menu/Runcommand crashing in ES on Ubuntu:

                                @DjDiabolik Is your user in the input group` ?

                                How do I find out?

                                  @DjDiabolik You can run the id command and it should print the list of groups. However, it seems it's not enough on Ubuntu to enable write-access. I'll take a look again to see what options are available.
                                  Thanks for testing.

                                    Run the following command:

                                    echo 'KERNEL=="uinput", GROUP="input", MODE=0660' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/80-uinput.rules
                                    

                                    and then reboot, afterwards see if the thee permission error still shows up when running as user joy2key_sdl or if runcommand menu works.

                                      So id output it's this:

                                      diabolik@NUC-Ubuntu:~$ id

                                      Before to run the seconds command i have tryed to look on /etc/udev/rules.d

                                      and currently there's no file whit this name:

                                      diabolik@NUC-Ubuntu:/etc/udev/rules.d$ ls
                                      70-snap.canonical-livepatch.rules  70-snap.snapd-desktop-integration.rules  70-snap.snap-store.rules   99-input.rules

                                      The echo commands paste this text and create this file.... it's correct ?

                                          anyway... right now "runcommands" option work.... but only if i press button on keyboard.
                                          I can press so many times button on my arcade stick and it's not work.
