      Hello Everyone! I want to scrape in emulation station (An old pc running ubuntu 20.04 LTS and the latest retropie version) but when I want to access the terminal and press F4 emulation station quits.. I tried it from the menu, I tried pressing key combos with it, and I even re-installed the whole thing but nothing seems to work.... I have no idea what should I do about this. Any suggestions?

        On the PC, F4 will also close the terminal after exiting EmulationStation. Just open the terminal application (gnome-terminal or just search for terminal in the list of installed applications) and you can run your commands from it.
