[x86] Cannot install PCSX2

mitu

@Panja You're running a x64 arch (x86_64), pcsx2 is only available on i386 (32bit) - https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/pcsx2.

Panja

@mitu
That is correct, I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu (server).
Reading the github page (https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/) it says:
OS: Windows Vista SP2 or newer or GNU/Linux (32-bit or 64-bit)

So I thought it would be possible and didn't think about noting my 64-bit build.

@Panja I was not able to figure out why pcsx2 cannot be installed on lubuntu 19.04, but it does work fine with kubuntu and ubuntu 19.04 64-bit.

@Panja You can still install it, you just need to add the i386 repositories - see https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/wiki/Installing-on-Linux. Scroll down to the Ubuntu installation instructions.

@mitu
Yes, I just noticed it! Thanks.
It's installing now as we speak.

@Parabolaralus
Got it working now, well it's installing. ;-)
Had to run sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 in terminal to add x86 (32-bit) packages.

Parabolaralus

@Panja Lol if it was really that easy i feel stupid!!! Oh well...

Panja

@Parabolaralus

I don't know if that'll fix the Lubuntu problem as well, should be though.
But for me on 18.04.2 Server 64-bit it did!

We learn every day! :-D

The only other thing I can think of is that it has multiarch disabled by default.

Try

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 then apt update and try.

Since pcsx2 is in i386 packages

[Edit] I'm late to the party. This was explained above.

@Panja oops. Just noticed your/mitu post above.

I guess I could include this line in retropie. I will add it.

@BuZz
Haha no worries mate!
Thanks for the help!
