@berturian - I have exactly the same issue, what steps did you take to fix as I cannot seem to get past that error?

@berturion: glad it worked :) Enjoy!

Hello, I uninstalled everything and removed everything in /home/retroarch, /etc/retro*, etc. Re-installed it and it works now. I think it is related to the file .xinitrc that was not in the correct folder.

Thanks for your answer @JulianXhokaxhui. Though, xorg was installed as a dependency of this package. I didn't install it before. So this is the vanilla configuration. I conclude that there must be something to do over the xorg configuration in order for this package to work. Something does not work "ou-of-the-box". I really know nothing about xorg. But it is really simple to reproduce this error :

  • install arch (I tried both archlinux and anarchylinux)
  • install yay
  • install retroarch-standalone-service
  • start retroarch-standalone-service

Maybe someone could try and tell me what's wrong?

@berturion: looks like an issue in your X.Org installation unfortunately. Can't help you more. Double check your installation and check first of all why X.Org is not able to open even a log file. When you will be able to fix that, then please post the log here. Thank you.

Hello, I just installed anarchylinux (basically arch linux preconfigured) without any desktop environment in a VM with Virtualbox. I then installed yay and this package and started the service. I can only see these messages :

(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) Cannot open log file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log"
(EE)
(EE)
Please consult the X.Org Foundation support
        at http://wiki.x.org
 for help.
(EE)
/usr/bin/xinit: giving up
/usr/bin/xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
/usr/bin/xinit: server error

I didn't touch any config file nor any permissions. What could cause this?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, I committed a fix. Feel free to try it now, it should work fine. Please let me know.

It appears that the way the conf files under /usr/lib/sysusers.d are formatted has changed and prevents the service from working (for me at least). I fixed my issue by replacing the first line in the /usr/lib/sysusers.d/retroarch-standalone.conf file with the following:

u retroarch 975 "Retroarch user" /home/retroarch /sbin/nologin

Thanks for your package!

Just a question, is there a solution to poweroff the computer with gamepad?

@SpaceAgeHero: Hi, you can use the systemd unit:

systemctl start retroarch-standalone

Enjoy :)
