Guess I'll just live without packages, thanks man.

Edit:
I got it to work, I managed to install Kodi and steamlink!

You were right it was something with the DNS settings, I changed it to 8.8.8.8 using this guide through terminal and it just immediately worked.

@mitu OMG, I am so sorry for wasting your time. Yes, it was the button setup and I was exiting the application all the time. I think we can mark this as solved and as Layer 8 issue.

Thank you again for your patience and time.

@mitu that worked! Thank you very much!

Welcome, i'am happy to help :-)

There don't seem to be any other references to fbturbo or Allwinner in the remaining configuration.

Then I don't understand from where the fbturbo configuration is referenced.

Can you check if the file still exists after you remove the xserver-xorg-video-fbturb package ? If so, remove it and see if - after rebooting - you still get the error.

I know this is an old thread, but its one of the many I have been over while trying to find a solution to this problem.

Mind you I'm running Steamlink as a port from RetroPie on a Pi4B 8GB.

Heres what I had to do to resolve the issue for myself.

In the Rapberry Pi Config file; Disable Underscan Disable Screen Blanking

Make sure Steamlink and other packages on your device are up to date.

Make sure that your Pi is outputting the same resolution or lower to your TV or monitor as the PC that the games are actually running on are outputting to its monitor. Eg. If your PC is running the games on a 1080p monitor, you likely wont be able to steam link from the Pi on a 4K TV @ 2160p without the black screen issue. I just set the display output in both my pi config and retro pie to 1080p to match my PC monitor and now Im playing without issue.

Hope this helps anyone whos still stuck with this issue.

Update:

If I'm not loading the save state game and just run the game it fails to start and moves me back to EmulationStation list of Dreamcast games with controls not working.

Here is the log from /dev/shm/runcommand.log

[ERROR] emu_read_server_msg unknown cmd=0x1e4baa8 [ERROR] [/builds/inolen/redream-private/src/guest/memory.c:853] Check failed: res

@wmarler first of all thanks to your work.
I encountered an issue when using the command make. So when I try to use the commands
make -C /lib/modules/uname -r/build/ M=$(pwd)
$ sudo make -C /lib/modules/uname -r/build/ M=$(pwd) modules_install
its something like :
make : Entering directory ........
make : *** No rule to make target ´ /build/´ . Stop
make : Leaving directory ´ /lib/modules .......

I am quite new to linux on that level so I dont know what to do. Has somebody an idea.

@simpleethat I didn't think I could, but I just had to ask. Thanks for the reply! :)

@Darksavior mine drops to the console if that's where I start it or if from ES, drops me back there.

I'll try mitus suggestion first and see how that goes. It would be nice to be able to use this as I move my computer to the living room currently each time for the wife and I to game.

I finally brought my Pi4 home today so I might just give this a shot as well and see what happens with both retropie and SL later on.

If I understand your approach correctly, this makes Kodi/Steam Link appear as their own system in Emulation Station but you still need to go inside and select a single Kodi/Steam Link launch script?

@mitu ok then
