SDL Drivers - Ubu 18.04
-
There are no pre-built binaries for x86/x86-64, all installations are done via source installs - that's why the command you posted throws an error.
I don't know where you found that SDL2 installation command, but you should follow the official installation docs - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Debian/ - and start with a basic installation. -
@mitu Okay done, issue continues
-
Can you post the installation log file - on pastebin.com ?
-
@mitu Sure, not sure if this is the file. Found from $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs . Should note I have downloaded the SDL tar ball aswell and compiled that. Still does not work.
EDIT: file is too big for pastebin and I am not paying for dropbox
-
I don't see the errors in the log file - installation seems to have worked fine.
-
@mitu alright, so how do I tackle the issue of emulationstation not loading?
-
Are you running EmulationStation from the terminal or from the desktop environment ? Can you post the output of
glxinfo? -
@mitu there is no gui install. I assume I need to install one?
glxinfo Error: unable to open display -
@ahardy said in SDL Drivers - Ubu 18.04:

You need a desktop environment to run EmulationStation (and RetroPie) on a PC installation. I think it's described in the topic you linked and it's also part of the docs page - where it instructs you to install the desktop version of Ubuntu.

@mitu Awesome thank you, apologies for that oversight. Was able to get it going. You have a good weekend!
