      This is the first version I have ever run across this.

      Did you configure a network connection during installation or installed from CD without configuring one ? I've done a few desktop installs recently using a minimal/net iso and it was enabled automatically for me.

      Yep. I can connect via SSH and update/upgrade and install packages immediately after the build is done. I'm really not doing anything out of the ordinary.

        RE: Universe repo not enabled...

        This is exactly what I am seeing: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1062984/sources-list-broken-missing-universe-multiverse-etc-in-18-04-1-server

          @johnodon Hey bud. Thanks for the guide. I was able to boot directly into ES with it after trying to do that for days now before I found this thread.

          I can't seem to control anything once I'm in there though. The controller and the keyboard are not responsive at all. (Not sure if the controls aren't working or if everything is just freezing up once it's loaded, honestly).

          Do you have any ideas what I might be missing that would cause this?

          EDIT: For sure it's just that the controller isn't working. I rebooted without the controller in and now it gives the "No gamepads detected" message, but when I plug it in and hold a button down it's unresponsive.

            FYI...this is the how-to I put together for install on Ubuntu Server 18.04: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18810/retropie-installation-on-ubuntu-server-x64-18-04-1

              @johnodon Ah... thanks. I did get it working on 18.04 using your instructions in this thread. I see there are some differences in the new thread. Anything in particular there that would make me want to re-do it now that I've got it working with your old instructions? I think I've pretty much maxed out the power of this old laptop and I doubt anything is going to make PSX games run without an audio lag.

              BTW... the controller/keyboard not working seemed to be some sort of residual from following your instructions on a system where I'd already installed a minimal Lubuntu with EmulationStation before I did your write up. After I nuked the partition and started over it worked flawlessly.

              Thanks :)
