Retroarch via Flatpak (Fedora28), Dolphin Core wont Load

Dressiel · 2 August 2018 12:02

Hi there. As the title said, i cant figure out why the Dolphin Core wont load at all. RetroArch is on 1.7.3 (installed via Flatpak) and Dolphin is updated via Online Updater. If I go to “Load Core > Dolphin” no "Quick Menu " appears. If I try to load any ROM (*.iso) nothing happens…it just kicks me instantly back to the MainMenu.

I tryed: Changing driver (vulkan/gl), enable hardware shared context, downloaded the core manually, Checking Video Driver > System is Up to date (OpenGl 3.0 Mesa 18.0.5)

All other Cores working fine, no problem.

My Setup:

Distri: Fedora 28

Kernel-Version: 4.17.9-200

CPU: Intel NUC i5 4250U

Retroarch with Dolphin works as intended on my win10 64bit machine. I appreciate your help

I don’t have any experience with the flatpak, so I would need a log to even guess what might be going wrong.

Dressiel · 2 August 2018 15:05

Maybe silly question : how do i do that? I found the Logging Tab in Retroarch but didnt know where the save location of that file is.

You have to launch from a command line with --verbose --log-file /path/to/log.txt

Dressiel · 2 August 2018 15:21

You mean, starting RetroArch and in Terminal i put in the Code. Reproduce the Bug, and it will write the log into the destination?

hunterk · 2 August 2018 15:50

yes, that is correct

Dressiel · 2 August 2018 15:59

Doesnt work… the terminal dont know the Command “–verbose”.

Just to be clear. Im starting Retroarch…then Tab-out to open the Terminal (is that right?) …putting in the Code “–verbose --log-file /path/to/log.txt” gets me the error above

Im new to the Linux World (still love it). So yeah im a Noob. If it helps im using Fedora 28 with the KDE Spins, if it change something in the Command?

hunterk · 2 August 2018 18:17

No, you need to run RetroArch via terminal with those things added onto the end, so something like: retroarch --menu --verbose --log-file ~/log.txt

Dressiel · 2 August 2018 19:08

I figured out. The command looks like this…if you installed RetroArch via Flatpack

flatpak run org.libretro.RetroArch --menu --verbose --log-file /path/to/log.txt

Ok, it looks like this is your problem:

[ERROR] Error(s): libudev.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Cores don’t typically require outside/system libs to run, but it looks like that’s what’s happening here… Let me look into it some.

Dressiel · 2 August 2018 19:43

Saw that too, tryed “dnf install libudev.so.1” and it found some package…i installed it but didnt fix the problem

Dressiel · 7 August 2018 18:17

Any Update Hun?

Greetings

hunterk · 7 August 2018 23:51

All of the missing libs will need to either be baked into the core (not sure how likely that is, since we’re trying not to diverge much from upstream) or they’ll need to be added to the flatpak package so they’ll be available as system libs for the core.

I’m not responsible for the flatpak, but i’m in the process of adding some libs to the snap package for this very reason.

You can try to open issue so that we don’t forget about it, also there is an issue related to udev.
