will lr-mame install under this package? having trouble getting it installed on ubuntu runinng retropie
It should install fine but when I had issues in the past it was because I didn't define a swap file.

It should install fine but when I had issues in the past it was because I didn't define a swap file.
Actually, I am having issues again when trying to compile lr-mame on Ubuntu 20.04. It hangs on a random file and I have to break out of the routine.

EDIT: I updated the code below to call
cvlcrather thanvlcto avoid the command interface being displayed.
EDIT2: Added--gl=anyto the switches which helped with some screen tearing.For anyone interested in adding boot animation to your x86 install...
I stole this idea from this thread/post: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/200329
You need to create the
~/Retropie/splashscreensfolder and drop your MP4s in there. This folder is already mapped via Samba but is not created with the x86 RP setup script.Since I am using @etheling's KMS/DRM scripts, I modified my
~/.bash_profileto look like this:if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then cvlc --random --play-and-stop --play-and-exit --fullscreen --video-on-top --no-video-title-show --quiet --gl=any ~/RetroPie/splashscreens &> /dev/null emulationstation fiNow on startup, the boot animation is played and ES is launched immediately after.

NP. One small change made. See EDIT above.

@etheling or anyone else using KMS/DRM…
Are video snaps working for you? As soon as I select a system, ES crashes. If I comment out the ‘video’ elements in the gamelist.xml, everything works as expected.

UPDATE: This gist (https://gist.github.com/etheling/fce73b919b6dc7fc51b2fe715d9faba2) works but the one linked below does not.
@etheling I'm not sure what has changed in the last month or so but I performed a clean install on my Asus CN62 using your gists (https://gist.github.com/etheling/085c4b015a0d35765de7366f3c40b454) and get a black screen when ES launches. I've tried multiple versions of Ubuntu but let's just baseline on 20.04 mini.
Your scripts had worked previously on the same hardware. Any ideas? Which logs should I be looking at? I can see that ES is indeed running...

I just created a new topic, which also relates to this thread. Maybe some of you can help out:
Emulation Station Unresponsive on Startup (Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 LTS x86_64)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: See MisterB's post below (https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/190169) for an automated script to complete all of these tasks (+ many improvements). This is the preferred method of install of RP on Ubuntu Server/Mini 18.04/20.04.
Direct link to his scripts: https://github.com/MizterB/RetroPie-Setup-UbuntuServer
This post and the remainder of this thread can be used for additional info and troubleshooting tips.
Many thanks to all the individuals who have contributed to the idea of running Retropie on an Ubuntu server distribution. Most of the discussions regarding this topic can be found in these threads:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12037/building-on-ubuntu-server-16-04
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9346/retropie-on-ubuntu-without-unityI welcome any/all feedback and will incorporate as needed. I will post some video of the installation as well and the end product as soon as I have them. This is a 'living' how-to that is divided into 3 sections:
Required Steps: The necessary components/configuration for Retropie to run on Ubuntu Server.
Optional Steps: Additional components/configuration to make Retropie more 'appliance-like' (i.e. hiding terminal windows)
Troubleshooting: Some issues to look out for and how to correct.Disclaimer:
- I tested ONLY on Ubuntu Server x64 18.04.1 (I will update as new baseline media is released and tested)
- I tested ONLY keyboard and USB connected arcade stick.
- I DID NOT test gamepads (wired or wireless).
- I tested on 3 different physical HW and a few VMs.
- Your HW will be different and may present unknown challenges.
"Look Mom...no terminal windows or mouse pointer!" :) Here is a short video to show transitions (or lack thereof) from ES to gameplay...
Required Steps
1. Install Ubuntu Server x64 (version outlined above)
- I perform a vanilla install
- Language = English
- Keyboard/Variant = Engish (US)
- I use 'pi' for name and username and 'raspberry' for password so I can transfer settings easily from a Pi install
- I partiton the entire disk (no LVM)
- I do not install any server snaps
I perform all steps outlined below in a remote SSH session so I can copy/paste
2. Add 'pi' user to sudoers (password required first time)
sudo sed -i -e '$a\pi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL' /etc/sudoers3. Enable Universe repo, update/upgrade and install dependencies
sudo apt-add-repository universe && sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get install xorg openbox pulseaudio alsa-utils menu libglib2.0-bin python-xdg at-spi2-core libglib2.0-bin dbus-x11 git dialog unzip xmlstarlet --no-install-recommends -y4. Create Openbox autostart script to launch ES using gnome terminal
mkdir ~/.config && mkdir ~/.config/openbox && echo 'gnome-terminal --full-screen --hide-menubar -- emulationstation' >> ~/.config/openbox/autostart5. Create .xsession file
echo 'exec openbox-session' >> ~/.xsession6. Add startx to .bash_profile
echo 'if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then' >> ~/.bash_profile && sed -i '$ a\ startx -- -nocursor >/dev/null 2>&1' ~/.bash_profile && sed -i '$ a\fi' ~/.bash_profile7. Configure 'pi' user to autologin
sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d && sudo sh -c 'echo [Service] >> /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/override.conf' && sudo sed -i '$ a\ExecStart=' /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/override.conf && sudo sed -i '$ a\ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --skip-login --noissue --autologin pi %I $TERM' /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/override.conf && sudo sed -i '$ a\Type=idle' /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/override.conf8.. Get Retropie Setup script and run it
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git && sudo RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.shThe following steps are performed in the Retropie Setup script GUI.
9. Accept disclaimer
10. Basic install --> OK --> Yes
11. Perform reboot
Retropie should now be up and running. Copy some ROMs to the system and update RP as you see fit.
Optional Steps
- Install Herb Fargus boot themes (Plymouth)and set retropie-pacman as default
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install plymouth plymouth-themes plymouth-x11 -y && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/HerbFargus/plymouth-themes.git tempthemes && sudo cp -r ~/tempthemes/. /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ && rm -r -f tempthemes && sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/retropie-pacman/retropie-pacman.plymouth 10 && sudo update-alternatives --set default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/retropie-pacman/retropie-pacman.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u && sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.backup && sudo sed -i -e 's/GRUB_TIMEOUT=10/GRUB_TIMEOUT=2/g' /etc/default/grub && sudo sed -i -e 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="quiet splash"/g' /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub- Hide last login dialog displayed during boot
sudo sed -i -e 's/session optional pam_lastlog.so/#session optional pam_lastlog.so/g' /etc/pam.d/login && sudo sed -i -e 's/session optional pam_motd.so motd=\/run\/motd.dynamic/#session optional pam_motd.so motd=\/run\/motd.dynamic/g' /etc/pam.d/login && sudo sed -i -e 's/session optional pam_motd.so noupdate/#session optional pam_motd.so noupdate/g' /etc/pam.d/login && sudo sed -i -e 's/session optional pam_mail.so standard/#session optional pam_mail.so standard/g' /etc/pam.d/login- Completely hide gnome terminal

After following the step-by-step configuration, I have detected this error when booting the system:"Last login: Monday, December 4 03:37:51 2023
