      I followed the instructions on https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/RetroPie-Ubuntu-16.04-LTS-x86-Flavor to install retropie on a Gigabyte Brix. I briefly get the EmulationStation splash screen, then it closes. I have noo idea where to find the relevant logs.

      I've tested in a virtual machine and had no problems, so I'm not sure what's going on here.

        I looked before posting, but didn't notice this post https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5507/retropie-not-starting-on-ubuntu-16-04-and-linux-mint-18

        This seems to have done the trick.
