@dankcushions nevermind... since i ran into a few other problems with lightdm and pulse which are way beyond my know how, i dropped that build. thanks anyway

Did you also enable the service after installing it ?

@BuZz

I tried to remove it but it causes retroarch to crash. Here's the log: https://pastebin.com/dFx4K74J

Let me know if you need me to do more testing !

Thanks for your time.

Resolved!
I changed the ppa directory of the video drivers, and updated the mesa and the vulkan, I noticed that there was an update of the video drivers, then I updated the retropie. Thank you all.

@BuZz @mitu Yes, I realized at some point the other day my foolish self was in SU and I processed an update which is why this all happened!

Thanks for all the help! This can be closed.

How about if your start an xterm, make it fullscreen, then run

LC_NUMERIC=C emulationstation

@gleam2003 I have a Orange pi 4 and would like to install your modded RetroPie. I tried your script but with no success. Some tip?

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Resolved the issue, and PS2 appears in the EmulationStation frontend.
.bash_history doesn't show any evidence of the desktop environment being removed - by way of shell command.

I've enabled Pulse again for within EmulationStation.
It seems to fix my problem so far. I'll keep a close eye on this.

great installation are done (y)

You can symlinks some of the (larger) ROM folders to the external storage if you want to use both discs, otherwise you can just run all your ROMs from the external disc - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/.

@mitu Thanks a million mitu, it's works. PROBLEM SOLVED. you are genius!

@Efriim said in Which emulators benefit from Vulkan (x86)?:

lr-Kronos(Sega Saturn) - In development

The author showed interest in it and bought a book for this purpose, but development hasn't started yet. That's why i said in https://www.libretro.com/index.php/kronos-1-7-0-new-renderer/ that it was added on the roadmap but to not ask for an ETA, at the very least don't expect anything this year.

@Efriim

Thanks! Gonna give it a go.

@dixeflatline
I think you could compile it for armv8a. How much memory does the switch have? You might be able to compile it on the switch.

@mitu
Thanks.
Though I find it hard to believe I'm the only one wanting to use a x86 machine but with the same user experience as RetroPie on a Rpi.
So no desktop just plain retro gaming, seamingless. I can't find any good tutorial on this. Makes me wanna go back to my Rpi...
Problem with the Rpi is that it isn't powerful enough to Run Dreamcast and GameCube games.

@mitu Alright! Then I will wait until the Scraper problem is fixed. The autostart is already implemented in the retropie programm. Just need to go to the retropie setup and set the autostart option to enable.

My Retropie is now starting automatically. When I quit Retropie, I have my normal Ubuntu Desktop.

Anyways, thanks for the help! I am done for now.

@NeoDude Not a mistake, but it seems something is missing. Do you have OpenGL acceleration working ?
Have you used Ubuntu's installer or did you manually install the driver ? I'd recommend using the Ubuntu's PPA packages to install the drivers or the Ubuntu package management app (Software center ?).

@cookiepanda Can you get the ~/.emulationstation/es_log.txt file and upload it to pastebin.com to take a look ? Has the installation been performed successfully or there were errors during installation ?
