      I managed to launch it without installing a full DE, here is what I did in case anyone is interested (although installing a DE is probably the simplest option):

      Install xorg and xinit:

      sudo apt install -y xorg xinit

      In /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config set allowed_users=anybody

      Add the current user (or replace with user that launches the command) to these groups:

      sudo usermod -aG input,tty,video $USER

      Grant access to the second tty to current user (this need to be repeated after a reset):

      sudo chown $USER /dev/tty2

      Now replace the command to launch the emulator in /opt/retropie/configs/ps2/emulators.cfg:

      pcsx2-nogui = "xinit /opt/pcsx2-unstable/pcsx2-qt -fullscreen -nogui %ROM% -- :0"

      It's important to use the full path /opt/pcsx2-unstable/pcsx2-qt and not just pcsx2-qt because the later is actually a shell script that calls the former and xinit doesn't like that:

      cat $(which pcsx2-qt) #!/usr/bin/bash /opt/pcsx2-unstable/pcsx2-qt "$@"

      And that's it. Launching a game will show the PCSX2 gui where we can choose the different folders for roms and BIOS. This step require a keyboard and ideally a mouse.

      Running Rpi on a Ubuntu terminal...

      @dbrown1986 said in Running Rpi on a Ubuntu terminal...:

      As it stands, I've attempted this but the terminal reports ES cannot start without a graphics driver (even when gnome and Nvidia drivers had been installed but disabled in favor of the terminal).

      Yes, the drivers you installed work with X.org.

      Ideally, what I'd like to do is to install only a terminal, apt-get only what I need and autoboot into ES on boot.

      The RetroPie installation script should already do that - auto-login via the current DM and starting Emulationstation into an X.org session.

      Is this feasible?

      Not without X.org at the moment.

      @mitu I see. I'm able to install Vice using Ubuntu app center. I wonder if I could copy binaries and libs to the /opt/retropie/emulators/vice ...

      I have always set up via Retroarch options and it's listed as something like enhance resolution (can't remember the exact name), but that is on the Raspberry Pi builds. I always find it because it's the option right above the speed hack.

      On the PC, there may be other options for enhancement.
