@mitu said in BGM in Ubuntu Desktop 18.04: @dbrown1986 said in BGM in Ubuntu Desktop 18.04: I think Ubuntu wouldn't allow it since it was a 'hidden' folder. First time I hear this kind of - obviously wrong - explanation. Check the permissions on the folder and make sure your $USER owns the folder where the scripts are saved. You don't need to use sudo to edit something that's in your home folder. Could also been something I mucked up; since I installed using net-inst, I checked the permissions and they looked fine.

I was able to fix the install with the instructions on that link. Thank you.

@BuZz Id love to help, but i have absolutely no idea what to do with that...It would be easy for me to set up a clean VM and test what you did, but im clueless as to what to do with that link. Edit: Fail

Thanks for helping out mate, appreciated! Will have a go with this in a few days and let you know. Cheers.

@polygonman244 if you have mapped a keyboard in emulationstation it will never ask again for you to configure a controller.

@mitu Is solved now if I changed the theme and worked everything. I just have in some psx games issues with te control but is minimal. Thank you for all. Now is time to play after the hard work of configuration almost 3 weeks wow!

Ok thank you it works.

@mitu Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I'm missing dependencies.. Well thanks for helping anyway. It's appreciated.

I installed everything as it says here with the latest version: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Odroid-XU3-XU4/ I deleted from the retropie setup directory: Now I see: https://ibb.co/F4ksdhn But same error emulationstation. or line for same error. When I installed the new retropie it took almost 3 hours it was a lot of time but did nothing. Same SDL error :(

I got it back running. It seems "DRI 3" was the culprit. "DRI 2" got it running but now pcsx2-unstable fps dropped to unplayable in full screen mode.. So playing around with the 20-intel.conf for the thousandth time I decided to look at reicast libretro's source file and boom. There it was. Set "HAVE_GL3" to 1 and compile. Delete your 20-Intel.conf if you have one and reboot. I'm running on a NUC8i7BEH ( Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 integrated)

lr-redream and lr-reicast are functioning neither(18.04). Reicast installed from snap gives error: ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgtk3-nocsd.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (failed to map segment from shared object): ignored.

@camjrp Those errors seem related to your Xorg installation or desktop environment.

Appreciate your help, got in with the last command! When I go to scrape now I get this error for quite a few games. ERR: error processing /home/arcade/RetroPie/roms/gamegear/Arena (USA, Europe).gg: hash not found

I'm trying lr-dolphin now. My internet connection is a bit slow where Im at and Im wondering if thatts the problem

@psyke83 said in Error and GUI terminates back to ES when launching RetroPie-Setup direct on machine (libudev?) - but SSH is ok: @BuZz It looks like we might need to add a delay to the runcommand invocation as well? I implemented python-evdev support into the script: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/compare/master...psyke83:joy2key_evdev Tested it on Ubuntu 18.10, confirmed it to work well and eliminate the need for any delays... and then realized afterwards that Raspbian doesn't have this package :/ It's possible to get on Raspbian via installing python-pip and then installing it that way, but python-pip requires 30MB or so of extra packages. A damn shame :( how about the idea of re-implementing joy2key in C and use libevdev/libudev directly? the binary would be much smaller and elegant than having the python interpreter :) joy2key doesn't seem to be too complex functionally speaking. In few weeks I will have much more time available and could help with this if interested.

@Halvhjearne said in retropie on ubuntu 18.10 is adding unnecessary/broken apt sources: there is a package available upstream for both cosmic and bionic, would it be possible to maybe fix the script to not add the broken repo for cosmic? The repo is mainained by the FS-UAE author and it's the recommended way to install it (https://fs-uae.net/download#ubuntu). If anything changes regarding that, we can also update the script. While for 18.x the latest package is upstreamed (Ubuntu), for older releases the PPA has the latest version. Let's see what happens when 19.04 breaks loose.

So glad i hit upon this thread. I had a similiar use case as that of OP's. Didn't find Rp3 performant enough, so i have odroid c2 running librelec. But now i want to run retroarch with kodi on another microSd on C2. I did similiar permuations with the images but just like as OP's they all failed. If anyone got it working on c2, it would be greatly appreciated if they can contribute in updating the wiki or let know even if they were able to do so, so that investing time might be worthwhile. The "retropie-4-x-on-odroid-c2" link is helpfull but can't fully grasp if some steps are obsolete or still required. @Phil333 did you pursue this further or dropped it for now? thanks for this thread tough!

@barbudreadmon Thanx for information bro :)
