I receive the same error on both version x86/64.
My hardware is Intel NUC version NUC5i5RYH
Thank you

Looks like a download/connection issue. What happens when you run the following command ?

git clone --recursive --depth 1 --branch master "https://github.com/RetroPie/common-shaders.git" /tmp/shaders

Hi mitu,

git clone --recursive --depth 1 --branch master "https://github.com/RetroPie/common-shaders.git" /tmp/shaders

Thank you

Can you post the whole log, not just the error part ? Use pastebin.com for log files though.

Hi, done.

The error appears when the setup is trying to download and extract the https://files.retropie.org.uk/binaries/retroarch-minimal-assets.tar.gz file. It doesn't fail here - but I'm using an 18.04 Ubuntu installation.
Can you manually download and test the archive file ? Is there a reason you're using such an old Ubuntu release ? I'm not sure that 16.04 is still supported by RetroPie-Setup.

Hi,
no problem i will try with 18.04 and let you know.

Thank you

dinukro

Hi, after i used 18.04 it works.
Thank you
