I have tried RetroArch on both Ubuntu 20.04 and Mint 20.
The RetroArch app launches correctly but whatever core I use I have the same issue:
ALSA lib conf.c:3916:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
ALSA lib seq.c:935:(snd_seq_open_noupdate) Unknown SEQ default
X Error: BadMatch
Request Major code 151 (GLX)
Request Minor code 26 ()
Error Serial #74
Current Serial #74
malloc_consolidate(): invalid chunk size
Annullato (core dump creato)
This happens on both distro.
Any suggestion?
Thank you.
Update: The same problem is on Fedora 32. Is there any distro on which RetroArch in working well? Thank you
It seems to work for me on Ubuntu 20.04, what is the output of snap connections retroarch on your machine?
This is the output of
$ snap connections retroarch

Hmm, it could be related to the gl video driver, maybe you could try to change the video driver to vulkan or sdl2 to see if you can get better results? You can run retroarch with --verbose to get more information.
Update: I just realized that Vulkan is not officially supported so it may work or not, but you can still test with SDL2.
Update2: I did some tests here and while I can’t reproduce that error message, the cores I tested didn’t work and gave me just a black window (on Ubuntu 20.04 and integrated Intel graphics).
Thank you for your suggestions
I have tried it with --verbose and vulkan and this is the output

have you any idea? I can’t find any solution. It seems to me that this snap is just not good as it doesn’t work on all the distro I have tried
Thank you
