      I've installed retropie on my computer running Ubuntu 19.04. During install it states that retroarch could not install several packages and as a result does not show as installed on the retropie setup. I believe this is causing my roms not to be able to load. Nothing works across all systems. I know the roms are good.

      Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
      requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
      distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
      or been moved out of Incoming.
      The following information may help to resolve the situation:

      The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      libsdl2-dev : Depends: libsdl2-2.0-0 (= 2.0.8+1) but 2.0.9+dfsg1-1ubuntu1 is to be installed
      E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
      Could not install package(s): libxkbcommon-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libvulkan-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavdevice-dev nvidia-cg-toolkit.

        Ubuntu 19.04 is not yet supported OOB. See this topic for a workaround.
