      Ubuntu 20.04
      CPU is a Core2Due E6400 with no graphics card (just using onboard VGA)

      emulation station compiles but crashes with the following

      emulationstation: /home/retro/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/emulationstation/es-core/src/resources/Font.cpp:398: void Font::renderTextCache(TextCache*): Assertion `*it->textureIdPtr != 0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

      Wondering if it's just that emulationstation can't handle this barebones hardware

        @Neo-Rio Looks like a missing font file - didn't you open a similar topic already ?

        EDIT: Run with emulationstation --debug and post the output.

          I tried this with a GPU installed, and there's no crash. I figure the onboard intel graphics just can't cut it, but starting up retroarch menu by itself seems to work.

          I'll try the --debug option later and report.

            Yeah, it's looking for OpenGL and can't find it. Case closed.
            Finds my gamepad though and then bails out:
