Failed to build emulationstation-kids
-
Trying to get emulationstation-kids working so I can leverage the favorites feature. After several hours building, it failed with:
"Could not successfully build EmulationStation with additional UI modes (kids / kiosk) (/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/emulationstation-kids/emulationstation not found)."
Log file here: http://pastebin.com/YwUsrRmp
retropie-setup: v4.1.5@zigurana - suggestions?
Are there binaries anywhere for Raspberry Pi 3?
-
@timbellomo Looks like you ran out of memory. Lower gpu memory split ? Either that or it crashed due to overclocking / poor psu.
dmesgwill tell you more (if for example it was killed due to being out of memory). -
dmesg confirms "out of memory."
Everything is a default Pi 3. No overclock. Memory split was 128. Should I set to 32? How long should I expect this build to take?
-
did you have other things running ? Should be enough memory - or did you change anything else relating to building from source (eg number of parallel jobs etc).
Or have you removed the default swap ?
-
It's possible it's related to the swap. I only kind of know what I'm doing here. Basically, I burned the image to a usb drive after configuring my pi for USB booting. Changed a few items in config, and updated fstab. I don't recall seeing a swap partition if that's what you mean. Nothing else of note... I launched the script from within the interface, then went to add the package.
I'm guessing that no one has experimental binary sources from the lack of response. Are these build times expected?
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot vfat defaults 0 2 /dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 # a swapfile is not a swap partition, no line here # use dphys-swapfile swap[on|off] for that -
@timbellomo what is the output of
free?ES takes a little while to build, but I can't tell you exactly how long.

free:

@timbellomo You are low on memory. Are you sure you have a RPI3. Looks more like you have a 256 or 512MB Raspberry Pi 1 -depending on split. (in which case you should lower gpu split to 32 for compiling probably).
What's the output of
cat /proc/cpuinfo? -
if I don't have a Pi 3, i'm going to have some strong words with MicroCenter.

You do, but you don't have the right amount of free ram. Are you sure about your gpu split ?
Please post me the contents of your
/boot/config.txt -
Thanks for your help... sorry for the delay. I'm in the middle selling a house and haggling with real estate agents:

All of it please. Also the output of
uname -a. -
sorry...

@timbellomo please
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgradeto update firmware/kernel. then boot up and dofreeagain. -
The full output of
dmesgwould be useful too. thanks. -

Something's definitely wrong - did you update the firmware/kernel via rpi-update at any point ?

-
Are you running a standard RetroPie image downloaded from our site or something custom ?
-
i burned retropie-4.1-rpi2_rpi3.img. 99% sure from your site. But as I said, I'm running it 100% off of USB, without any SD card. After dist-upgrade it doesn't boot at all anymore :/. Nothing on screen
-
@timbellomo I've not done any booting off USB, but you will want to probably request for help from raspberrypi.org forums where the firmware/kernel devs etc are. I can't really advise further (It's a Raspbian/firmware issue).
