If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

Please help.

@emrecaglar 16.04 is too old - it's not supported anymore. Use a more recent Ubuntu distribution (18.04 or 20.04) or one of the more lightweight versions like Xubuntu/Lubuntu.

@mitu :) thanks for helps. I will try install on ubuntu 18.04

@emrecaglar I used this tutorial to set up minimal Ubuntu installation with only openbox to run apps:

It's the most lightweight possible set up (I guess?).

Thanks for helps. RetroPie setup successfully on ubuntu 18.04 minimal setup.

@emrecaglar if you need any help to set it up please let me know - I went through some of problems with this combo (it's a bit more problematic than RetroPie for Pi :)).
For sure you can change priviliges for config files as you won't be able to save any config in RetroArch:

sudo chmod  -R 777 /opt/retropie/configs/

Please just be mindful that this way you give access to this files and folders to EVERYONE which means that if someone connects to your computer then it has full access to all files and folders in this path.
In my case it does not matter as I don't have constant network access to this device (it sits in arcade cab with no lan/wifi) so not much of a deal for me :)
