Retropie Not starting on ubuntu 16.04 and linux mint 18
-
To help me debug it please post the output of
cat $HOME/.emulationstation/es_log.txt(formatting it in a code block) after ES fails to load. -
@BuZz I have this problem as well.. the log isn't all that helpful:
tv@bombadil:/etc/emulationstation$ cat ~/.emulationstation/es_log.txt lvl2: EmulationStation - v2.0.1a, built Nov 25 2016 - 10:35:11 lvl2: Creating surface... lvl2: Created window successfully. lvl2: Checking available OpenGL extensions... lvl2: ARB_texture_non_power_of_two: ok lvl2: Loading system config file /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg... lvl1: System "ngp" has no games! Ignoring it. tv@bombadil:/etc/emulationstation$ -
anything more if you run
/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh --debug? - Please format the output in a code block as requested - http://commonmark.org/help/I fixed up your previous post styling.
-
Also please make sure you update all installed packages first from retropie-setup.

@BuZz A bit more interesting:
tv@bombadil:~$ /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh --debug lvl2: EmulationStation - v2.0.1a, built Nov 25 2016 - 10:35:11 lvl2: Creating surface... lvl2: Created window successfully. lvl2: Checking available OpenGL extensions... lvl2: ARB_texture_non_power_of_two: ok lvl2: Loading system config file /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg... lvl1: System "amstradcpc" has no games! Ignoring it. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::filesystem::filesystem_error' what(): boost::filesystem::create_directory: Permission denied: "/home/tv/.emulationstation/gamelists/amstradcpc" Aborted (core dumped) tv@bombadil:~$ -
@croob That directory is owned by root:
tv@bombadil:~/.emulationstation$ ls -l total 12 -rw-r--r-- 1 tv tv 194 Nov 25 09:54 es_input.cfg -rw-rw-r-- 1 tv tv 343 Nov 25 18:38 es_log.txt drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 25 07:18 gamelists tv@bombadil:~/.emulationstation$ -
@croob I changed the ownership of that directory to my username and it appears to work. Now it brought me to the controller setup screen.
-
@croob it was a bug introduced recently with some retropie menu changes. should be fixed for fresh installs.
-
@croob This is with retropie 4.1 or 4.0.2?
EDIT: I have installed the 4.0.2 and then the 4.1. Now emulationstation don't crashes.
-
@thepbv Everything works with the 4.0.2
-
@gioelem3 It was the newest version. 4.1 I think.
