Runcommand error for any game

ianb

Hi, newbie here.

I'm trying to get retropie up and running. It's actually just on a ubuntu/mint box for the moment to test before getting a pie.

I've installed, and moved some roms over, but any time I run a game, I get a splashscreen of the game, but in the terminal I see an error...

/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1045: [[: (0x1d2: missing `)' (error token is "0x1d2")

line 1045 is basically,

 if [[ -n "$HAS_MODESET" && "${MODE_CUR[5]}" -gt 0 ]]; then

Any thoughts ? Thanks.

Can you add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ? Are you running multiple displays ?

Thanks

Yes, I have a Linux Mint 19.3 (Linux v 5.0) machine, with an Nvidia GTX 1070
core i7, 16Gig
compile gcc 7.5.0 64 bit, 8 cores
3 displays (it seems to take over one with splash screen ok)
RetroPie version 4.7
Built from Git build date nov 2 2020
Running EmulationStation
Saitek controller
Trying with zxspectrum emulator

Error received in console in background (game splash screen loads), tried various games, all the same
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1045: [[: (0x1d2: missing `)' (error token is "0x1d2")

We've had recently a report (and a proposed patch) for a multiple display issue with runcommand. Can you try the patch proposed - here - and see if you still an error ?

Thanks, that seems to get rid of that console error. Now the games just hang, will do some more troubleshooting :D
