Segmentation Fault

RetroArch Linux devices

So this is what happens.

ulno@sapi:~$ retroarch Segmentation fault

Im running an IBM Thinkpad x60 Xubuntu 16.10 32-bit 1gb ram

Here’s the log I get: RetroArch [INFO] :: === Build =======================================RetroArch [INFO] :: [CPUID]: Vendor: GenuineIntel RetroArch [INFO] :: [CPUID]: Features: MMX MMXEXT SSE SSE2 SSE3 MMX MMXEXT SSE1 SSE2 SSE3 Built: May 4 2016 RetroArch [INFO] :: Version: 1.3.4 RetroArch [INFO] :: ================================================= RetroArch [INFO] :: [CPUID]: Vendor: GenuineIntel RetroArch [INFO] :: [CPUID]: Features: MMX MMXEXT SSE SSE2 SSE3 RetroArch [INFO] :: Looking for config in: “/home/ulno/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg”.

Any suggestions?

Try opening your retroarch.cfg in a text editor and changing menu_driver = “xmb” to menu_driver = “rgui”

#3

Seems to be the same for all menu drivers. I tried rgui, zarch, glui as well. And for good measure, here’s the log for running with rgui instad of xmb. Looks the same to me.

yeah that looks exactly the same…any other suggestions? :slight_smile:

#4

Yeah, looks the same. Try changing video_driver from “gl” to “sdl2” or “xvideo”. If that doesn’t help, we should probably look into doing a backtrace via gdb.

#5

This stumped me for a moment. In retroarch.cfg there’s no video_driver, so I added it in to change the value. I assume default is gl?

xvideo does the same thing no matter what menu_driver, it displays a yellowish artifact then disappears and the retroarch window goes blank. sdl2 does work for rgui, but now there’s no keyboard response. It seems that it’s working to the point where it displays things, but perhaps now it’s having trouble with input devices such as the keyboard? Here’s the log.

I’m not so keen to try this as sudo as it shouldn’t be necessary. New thoughts and suggestions?

Hmm, udev permissions are usually only a problem when running without X. You can try following these directions and see if it helps: https://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?title=RetroArch#Setting_up_udev_permissions Other than that, you can try changing input_driver from “udev” to “linuxraw” or “sdl2”.

#7

Resolved.

input_driver was changed to “sdl2” and now works with no issue other than some audio buffer

xmb still does not work. But I suppose that’s ok for now…unless you’re itching to figure it out,

#8

I suspect it’s just a matter of poor GPU drivers. I think Intel shafts their pre-HD line these days.
