Do you have an error log where this error shows up ? From the log you posted, I see that the core packages have installed fine. Not sure what else can be done if your internet connection bugs out.

Thank you for clarifying @BuZz

Answered my own question. So my workstation has 3 monitors and a TV, the pi had this issue with the TV and one of them monitors. Works absolutely fine on the other 2 monitors though, and the TV in my living room where this was going to go anyways works fine with it as well. Anyone know why this issue is occurring?

OK will have a look, didn't even think of looking there, many thanks. I will crack on.

By accident I found out that a Chrome OS computer is actually better than Windows 10 for setting up a Pi because it can read Linux filesystems, meaning I have access to both the boot and rootfs partitions. I also found a few remarkable Android apps for SSH and VNC. I did, however, need a Windows device for setup...

I see, i guess this is a recent change, since i installed it about a month or two ago in the same machine and it worked fine. Thanks! i will do the change. Also sorry for duplicating the topic, i didn't find this before searching, i guess i searched for different parts. it worked btw. i'm sure you knew that, but wanted to confirm i did it :D how do i mark this as solved?

If editing files around is not something you're familiar, then my suggestion is to find a system with a bit more performance and has the righ GPU. Even if you'd manage to get EmulationStation working, other programs/emulators might have similar requirements and you'd be struggling to make it work.

I installed almost all packages for Retro Pie in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS onnRaspberry Pi 4 but couldn't get lib-raspberrypi-dev It's for mad/intel 64 bit PC's

@Darksavior Nevermind, I found it. That worked perfectly. I'm getting the quarter of a screen problem too, but that can be fixed. Gotta admit, I think I probably enjoy setting up the RetroPie more than playing the games.

compiling without GUI , and in single thread, suceeded.

@SpudsMcToole said in Super-basic Retropie Setup Script question: @WarC0zes said in Super-basic Retropie Setup Script question: This tutorial worked for me : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16145/retropie-upgrading-raspbian-jessie-to-stretch On the Big List Of Things I Don't Want To Do, typing stuff like this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge && sudo apt-get -y autoclean ...is really, really high up. (I mean, I don't even know WHERE I'm supposed to type that. I manage my Pi through the WinSCP interface and no command typing is ever required.) You have to use PuTTY to type the commands. Launch PuTTY, enter the raspberry ip and connect. User: pi Password: raspberry From there you connect to the raspberry in ssh and can type the commands. It takes a little time to update jessie at strech.

@Hanky42 said in Retropie and Libreelec: Wouldn't KODI want media added to it's library? yes? you add files to the library over network without moving the actual files or you can just play them directly from the source. personally i use mysql (alltho a bit slow) to avoid having to recreate the library and remember which movies i watched on all devices using kodi in my home. if you want something easier, you can look up plex media center, but i belive a "dedicated" server is required for that, i am unsure if it will run both a player and a server on one raspberry.

@shaunus70 at a guess perhaps this? https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#why-emulationstation-doesnt-start-automatically-after-an-update-

Turns out it was the unit itself, I got a replacement and it worked right away. Z

@mitu Thank you, works!

(Deleted post)

@mitu I will definitely look into this. Thanks!

@mitu Thanks Bro, fixed!

@Clyde Well ifconfig works just fine in Debian Stretch / Retropie 4.4 I just tested it in the linux terminal. It also seems that ip addr works as well. So doesnt matter which one will be used. Either one will do just fine. :-)
