@whyza

specifically the problem is with package

chromium-browser 88.0.4324.187-rpt1

work around is to install chromium meta package

sudo apt-get install chromium

which installs

chromium 90.0.4430.212-1~deb10u1

and the issue is worked around.

@zebanon said in I’m having a chromium problem in the pixel desktop from the port section of retro pie:

As the title suggests I’m having a problem with chromium on the pixel desktop that is located in the ports section on retropie, and if that explanation is too confusing it’s just the pixel desktop that you install from the raspbian related tools in the retropie setup section in the retropie consoles and stuff menu.

Anyways the problem I’m having with it is the entire tab appears diagonal, aside from the outer box that defines the boundaries of the tab itself, the problem doesn’t appear with anything except chromium. Note that this is the pre-installed form of chromium that is already there when you first start up the pixel desktop, and not a form of chromium that I installed later, also note that this problem persists even when re-installing the entire retropie image.

Thank you in advance for any and all help.

(Heck it won’t let me remove the “pixel” tag

I had the same issue and resolved it by manually installing rpi os, then retropie on top of it. A 3rd person has reported the issue in this thread but the way to solve it is there until its solved on the developer end.

Should I have done it through CLI instead?

No, installing from RetroPie-Setup is fine. I wonder why the onstart script doesn't work though, the desktop is launched via runcommand.

I think I faced exactly the same thing as you yesterday. I got an error message where it said something about the audio, sorry don't remember the error message. I tried a few things and gave up and just installed everything (Raspbian and Retropie) again. It should be another way though..... Its absurd you have to reinstall an OS because of this....

sudo apt remove lxplug-volumepulse

Yes! Many thanks @mitu, my menu bar is back. You're fantastic!

@uberlumby I have one img for CRT and composite. If possible Go to my Chanel on YouTube, have link to download.

@YFZdude @mitu @dankcushions

It was the freaking port.

I connected it to the second port and booted it up, then started playing around with the config again. Lo and behold, hdmi_group=1 didn't cause a catastrophic error! The rest was cake, thanks to you guys.

Very much appreciated, thank you so much for all your help!

You should be able to install PIXEL as a port.

@mitu I reinstalled it, and it did a few extra steps it didn't do before, and now it's working :)

Thanks for your suggestion!

Brilliant! Thanks for your help, works like a charm. I can now use this for my other custom systems too!

Thanks again.

Wait, I got it. There was a boot to desktop option which I missed. Oops.

@otello

Any suggestions?

You can check out the Keyboard Configuration File at /etc/default/keyboard.

Not sure if this will help but try this...

When you're remoted in, run the RPi Software Configuration Tool with sudo raspi-config and go to Localisation Options then Change Keyboard Layout and run through that to reset those settings.

@mitu its reinstalling now thanks so much for your help i love the rasperry pi and am having a blast learning this

Anyone ???

Good to know. I tried a handful of games a while back and didn't have any luck myself, but it makes sense that some of the less demanding games would be playable. What kind of frame rates were you getting?

@mitu Thanks! I will try it.

@herb_fargus thank you! Thank you! I will try that tomorrow morning!

@jonnykesh MMh ok, I guess I'll have to keep it on my system then. Thanks for the advices.
