Retropie setup menu/Runcommand crashing in ES on Ubuntu
-
@DjDiabolik @mitu I owe both of you a debt of gratitude! And @mitu you saved me awhile back too…..
So here’s my quick story: I was running 20.04 and it ran well for awhile. But then the BT started acting up with my DualShock 3 controllers. I read awhile back there was a workaround but I couldn’t find it now. Plus the OS was old so I decided to just go ahead and upgrade to 22.04. And then update Retropie along with it, hoping this would repair any corrupt/damaged files. So….my BT issue was resolved. Games, everything running just great. Then I pressed my luck and decided to upgrade to 24.04. Then BOOM. I had all the issues that @DjDiabolik was experiencing! Ugggghhhhh.
But I followed your discussion here and all was resolved.You two are the GOAT and I really appreciate all the hard work and testing you did to find this workaround/resolution!☺️
PS: I know it’s an old thread but wanted to reply here with my heartfelt THANK YOU!!

Did this ever get solved? This thread is so large it's very hard to decipher how to solve this. Trying to navigate with a controller in the RetroPie-Setup menu crashes me back to ES.

No, there's just a workaround posted in the 2nd page (?).

This one here? I tried editing and re-installing the binary, but the issue persists for me.

The workaround is not integrated into Retropie-Setup, it's something you have to do manually.

Sorry what do you mean? I made the changes, and reinstalled the binary from the menu as instructed. The controller works fine to navigate the runcommand menu after launching a game, but does not work when navigating the RetroPie Setup from emulationstation. Indeed, it works fine when running sudo ./retropie_setup.sh from a terminal though. Do you mean I need to compile it manually?
Here’s a video of the issue:

Not sure what more to explain ? The issue still exists and it's not fixed in the latest version, you have to work-around it with the modifications posted in this topic.

@mitu Right, there are about 100 posts from @DjDiabolik in this thread. Can you recall which one worked for him? If not, I'll filter through all the posts and try each one I guess.

I already tried this fix. Ran sudo ./retropie_setup.sh. Re-installed retropiemenu "binary" from the menu. And yeah, after moving my DPAD/joystick, I get kicked back to emulationstation, even after making the change.
I just figured there might have been a simple fix for this already, but I guess either (a) I am not implementing the correct fix or (b) I need to dig deeper into the code.

Nevermind, the </command> within es_systems.cfg under retropiemenu needed to be changed as well. All fixed now.

@StonedEdge sorry for late answer... but if i remember all issue it's disappears after the installation/compilation of package 'sdl2' ...
@mitu Is there a way to find out the previous version to date and check if any new version has been released after all this time?
In the meantime, Ubuntu has also undergone a version step forward to 24.04.2 LTS and i have no idea if the previous deb sdl2package installed from retropie setup it's been maintained..-- -

Not yet, it's in the proposed-updates queue - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsdl2/+bug/2085140
