      Hi!

      I'm setting up a fresh RetroPie on an Ubuntu 20.04 machine, installed from source.

      RetroPie version is 4.6.1
      Emulation Station version is V2.0.1A
      HW is an Intel NUC NUC8i7BEH2 (so processor is x86)

      Whenever I start the Configure Input action (either automatically or manually), it correctly detects and identifies my two controllers (an XBox 360 gamepad and a USB gamepad). But when it asks for buttons to configure, it asks for too few of them.

      I only get asked for UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, A, B, START, SELECT, PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN, and I get no option for configuring Y, B, ANALOGs or LEFT/RIGHT triggers.

      Any ideas on what to look for?

      Thanks in advance,

      Borralleira.

        This is not the RetroPie version of EmulationStation, but the old upstream version. Remove the emulationstation package that - I think - you installed from the Ubuntu repositories and then re-install EmulationStation from the RetroPie-Setup script.

          It was that indeed. Sorry, I had forgotten that I had a previous emulationstation (yes, from Ubuntu repos) install in the machine. I just re-installed the machine, and got everything from the RetroPie-Setup script this time. It works like a charm!

          Thanks a lot for you help!
