      I'm trying to get RetroPie running on OSMC. I'm close to getting it fully working. However, I've hit a snag in that I cannot start any games.

      The reason it turns out if that libraspberrypi-bin isn't installed and doesn't get installed when I try.

      here's the log for when I try to install RunCommand

      RetroPie-Setup version: 4.4.2 (30e9c4a1)
      System: Linux PiVan 4.14.34-4-osmc #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 20 15:44:43 UTC 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

      Did not find needed package(s): libraspberrypi-bin. I am trying to install them now.

      I've also tried running the following via SSH. But ti
      apt-get update && apt-get install -y libraspberrypi-bin

      Here's the output

      At this point, I'm not sure what to do, short of reflashing the SD card and starting over from scratch. Hopefully someone will know of a less drastic solution.

        Ah a recently introduced bug since that package is named differently on osmc. I'll sort it tomorrow

          Reverted the change that broke it for now. Update RetroPie-Setup and it should work. Will revisit later.

            Brilliant thank you.
            I've updated the RetroPie-Setup and installed RunCommand. Will test my install when I get home to see if it's fully working now.

              Hi, I'm the author of the change that broke it for you. Apologies!
              The problem was already found and a solution is now proposed and under review.
              Hopefully it doesn't break in your installation (OSMC) anymore.
              When the new updated change is in place, I would love to hear it works for you in OSMC.

                The revised change is in place now. Should work fine for you.
                Let me know if you have any problems. Thanks!
