      Hi @BuZz , unfortunately this is still an issue for openxcom, as descriped above. I've commented on my other thread - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/6491/openxcom-no-longer-working-after-installing-from-experimental-menu/3.

      Please let me know if any additional info or output is required.

      Side note, this issue has also reared it's head since I updated to 4.1.8 - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5296/help-keyboard-not-working/10. I have commented that thread also.

      Thanks.

        it won't work with that script automatically. They need to start with xinit or startx or need to do some manual changes to the launch code.

              @BuZz Sorry for the last post. I am using raspberry Pi 3, I have installed retropie 4.1 from a SD card and then I have installed raspbien and the pixel desktop from retopie options. When I try to launch the desktop from the emulationstation using Ports I get several errors and the desktop environment does no launch.

                @Albertpaella yes. You need to update all packages. It's fixed, but not if you don't update :)

                  @BuZz Hello! I have updated all installed packages through the option in retropie configuration menu, I have also updated raspbian and pixel in configuration/tools menu. I have done several reboots but it continues to fail to launch desktop environment from ports. Is there any other to update to fix this problem? Thank you so much for your help!

                      @BuZz Also went with every update possible. Still, no Desktop loading from EmulationStation. Worst, even if I set the RPI to boot directly to LXDE, I see the desktop for milliseconds before it goes directly to command line. Something with login maybe?
