Retropie Setup
-
Hi everyone, I just followed the tutorial in the page with Ubuntu 16.4 and when fished the installation "emulationstation" is not working, neither I can find an icon to launch retropie, may I be missing something...? Thanks!

@Karlos12 "not working" is pretty vague. Help us to help you...

Hi Meleu, sorry, I have followed the entire tutorial and was finished without errors, when I type "Emulationstation" in the terminal it says "Command not found" even i see in some videos that the installation is leaving an icon in the ubuntu apps but is not showing. Thanks.

Sounds like you're trying to setup on a PC using the tutorial on the retropie setup, correct?
-
Yes Sir. step by step.

@Karlos12 did you get any errors when using "basic install" ? Sounds like Emulation Station didn't install (you can check from manage packages). If you got an error, I would need to see the log (use a pastebin site). Logs are gzipped in RetroPie-Setup/logs/

Sorry to be too noob, when the installation finish it don't show any error in the screen, but checking the installer logs I can see "virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory" and then Could not successfully build emulationstation - EmulationStation - Frontend used by RetroPie for launching emulators (/home/carlos/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/emulationstation/emulationstation not found)"
I wonder if is my hardware since Im using and old computer to do this, Im going to change the HDD and setup everything again. Thanks for the guidance. -
Changing RAM do the trick!, Thanks!!
