        I have now implemented this automatically, so when installing pcsx2 it will prompt you if you want to downgrade to the system sdl2 or abort install of pcsx2.

          Awesome man. I'm going to clear out my custom install so that I can take full advantage of all the run command and assorted other goodies again.

            Not finished with all the setup yet, so I can't tell you if there are any bugs in actual program execution, but I had to manually install
            libportaudio2:i386
            libasound2-plugins:i386

            on a fresh Ubuntu installation.

                Yeah it had an error when installing because of those two packages. I'll post it later tonight when I'm back on my computer rather than my phone. After installing those two packages with apt it went great.

                  Ok sorry it took so long. Here's the log. (Note that I did screw up and installed 16.10 instead of 16.04, which might be part of the problem.)

                    @Charononus I think you have something caused by older installed packages. Doesn't look related imho and I can't reproduce.

                      Let me check into it to see if I can reproduce it. It was a fresh install so I'm thinking that it probably had more to do with me grabbing the yacketyyak release instead of xenial. Anyway I should be able to figure out how to reproduce it if you want.

                        Are there any drawbacks from using the systempackage SDL2 builds ? Will downgrading to default SDL2 packages cause any problems?

                          My understanding is that the custom sdl2 is used by some controllers. So it probably depends on the controllers you're using. Most my information is just from reading what sdl2 is used for. https://www.libsdl.org/index.php Hopefully Buzz or someone else can chime in with a response on the specifics.

                            Well this should serve as a lesson to me. Don't drink and download operating systems. I can reproduce the error on Ubuntu 16.10 but not on the 16.04-LTS that I should have been using. On 16.04 there is no error. Since 16.10 is not really a supported version, I think that settles it.

                              If there are any drawbacks when downgrading to the systempackage then, i guess, it would be best to have a little popup window stating the possible problems that can occur after downgrading. I really want to use pcsx2 on my system but i dont want to risk a"bricked" system or something of that sort :)

                                  @BuZz Sounds good to me, since i do not use ps3 pads. I'll try to install pcsx2 today if i have the time and report back how it went.

                                    just the promised report. I have successfully replaced the sdl2 librarys and installed pcsx2 via the Setupscript. Worked like a charm and i havent experienced any drawback currently. Good work
