Reinstalled everything and now it works. I think i was using outdated cores but i have no idea. So strange… 
@jonathon @alexb3d
Can the rest of you report back with a clean install and see if that helps?
Reinstall? I have deleted the configuration folder, new session with newly installed cores and it does not work. What I have not done is remove the program and reinstall, I do not think it is necessary in Linux.
Have you tried it?
I downloaded an compiled a fresh install and everything works correctly. This has also worked for @Rion
I just did the test, remove & purge the ppa and the Flatpak. I keep getting the same error, the program closes when I activate the CRTSwitchRes
xrandr in the terminal gives me this information.
$ xrandr

The last two (d_mo 59.94 / CRT1 120.00) appear after trying to use the CRTSwitch.
@alexb3d It looks like the resolution has been created and added to an out put. so it seems something is happening just after that process has happened. You would not see CRT1 if it crashed while creating the resolution.
Can you run RA in verbose mode please. Output to a log file and attach it here.
retroarch --menu --verbose >> retroarch.log 2>&1
I would like to test this on my CRT TV connected via a VGA-SCART cable to my PC (so 15khz). I’ve got it working in windows but would like to use Linux.
The problem is I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to Linux. Ideally for now I’d have a bootable usb to test it before going deeper.
@Alphanu I had found your MM4CRT. Is that still what I should use to accomplish what I’m after?
Thank you for all the hard work. Every search I make your name comes up again and again!
Hi @jonnyapps
MME4CRT ISO is outdated. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to maintain it.
My assuption here is that your OS is currently Windows. So, the easiest way is to download Lubuntu or Ubuntu ISOs and create a bootable USB using Rufus https://rufus.ie/en/
Once you have booted the USB open the terminal window by pressing
Ctrl+Alt+T
Then run the following commands and RetroArch will be installed.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libretro/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install retroarch*
After this make sure show advanced options is turned on.
Finally, choose your supper width and enable CRTSwitchres.
I have not tried this on a Live USB but it should work.
Amazing. Thank you so much. I take it this means Linux/Retroarch natively support 15khz signals without me having to do anything else then? I did try with Lakka but didn’t get an image on the CRT.
Correct, LinuxRA will indeed do everything for you.
Changing the monitor index should switch between out puts but this all depends how the X environment is setup. Choosing index 20 switches to Automatic Mode and will try switching all outputs. This is the most compatible mode but leave you without a desktop resolution on a second screen.

Sorry for the delay (I live in hell).

I am testing with the integrated GPU because it supports Vulkan, I assume the driver is Open. I’m going to test immediately with an Nvidia Fermi that doesn’t support Vulkan (Obsolete).
Thanks for the further info.

I’m using Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS on a live USB.
(please let me know if I should make a separate topic to continue this conversation)
That’s weird that it’s trying to add that oooooold gcc-for-libretro repo (I just deleted it, but I’m not sure if that’ll help with your issue).
You might also try using the AppImage build, as it should be able to do anything that a normal package can do: https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/x86_64/RetroArch.7z
The program closes the same with the Nvidia GPU.

Current serial number in output stream: 89You have this problem because you are using the distro in live mode. You had to update the system first but, you will not have disk space (Live) to install RetroArch. And when you turn off, you will lose everything. Ubuntu Live distros (now) are for testing only.

Thank you for further support. This time it’s a bit different but still not worked. I’ll look into your second suggestion.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libretro/stable

When I run switchres my CRT TV receives a usable resolution. If I quit RA it maintains a usable resolution (looks like 480i) and shows the desktop. If I then restart the machine, I lose use of the CRT TV until I run RA again. This means I need to have a second monitor hooked up to launch RA.
I assume I’m just being dumb about this. Is there something I should be doing to ensure the CRT TV works on the desktop too, so I can find and launch RA without a second monitor? Ubuntu’s display properties menu only lists 800x600 and 1024x768.
Well, you could have RetroArch in your startup items, or you could put a 15 khz-friendly modeline in and have xrandr switch to it as a startup item. I’ve made a custom EDID for this purpose in the past, but I don’t recommend that.
i run a debian fresh install, and one arch fresh install, the two give me the same error in 1.9.1
