Even got a new kernel now.

But the problem persists.

apt-get install libraspberrypi-dev reports (probably correctly):

Code:

Note, selecting 'xbian-package-firmware' instead of 'libraspberrypi-dev'
xbian-package-firmware is already the newest version.

Trying to install retroarch (from source or binary, doesn't matter) says however:

Code:

Did not find needed package(s): libraspberrypi-dev. I am trying to install them now.

xbian-package-firmware is already the newest version.

Could not install package(s): libraspberrypi-dev.

Seems to be stupid installation script. Package providing libraspberrypi-dev is installed. So installer has to take care of it. Maybe you could find that part in installer script and comment it out

Quote:emulationstation throws this error:

Code:

Could not install package(s): libcurl4-openssl-dev.

and if I try to install it,

Code:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libcurl4-openssl-dev : Depends: libcurl3 (= 7.38.0-4+deb8u4) but 7.37.1-1 is to be installed

For this problem you'll find some posts here, for example inside this thread

Agreed... I posted on their forum, let's see what happens...

Code:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libcurl4-openssl-dev : Depends: libcurl3 (= 7.38.0-4+deb8u4) but 7.37.1-1 is to be installed

I've tried that, but doesn't work, no joy (still same message)...
So close and yet so far away from success...

I checked that, and yes, it does not work as expected. But, I played a a bit around and now it works:

Terminal

So, you simply have to flip the two entries in file 01user

Thank you! It works now!

[Tozzi]

BTW I forgot to mention:
The maintainer of RetroPie has changed the dependencies in their install script accordingly, so libraspberrypi-dev is being recognised within xbian-package-firmware now, too.
Thanks a lot, it's all working perfectly now!

Great You're welcome

Did you find a way to switch between Kodi and Emulation Station?

Your script works like a charm, bet I don't want to run it manualy every time. I tried to create simple Kodi addon to run the script, but for some reason Emulation Station doesn't start when I run script from python.

Code:

import os
os.system('sh /home/xbian/switch.sh')

If Kodi is running, nobody else can access the screen. So you have to stop Kodi first before you start a different program like retropie

[Dzintars Bergs]

So, there are no way to launch Emulation Station from Kodi?

[Nachteule]

No way.

You have to disable xbmc service and write your own service which shows menu where you can launch Kodi or retropie or whatever you want

Hi guys,

I am new here but I have been reading posts and solutions in this forum for quite a long time. I have to say that I love xbian and it has been running smooth in my pi for years.

I have been this weekend trying to add retropie functionality to my setup following this guide and I have to say that everything works amazing after follow all the steps on this thread. Maybe the could be summarized at some point but all the information is here. Many thanks to everybody.

I would like to add my two cents saying that I have been able to run the script from Kodi launching it in a detached terminal using screen, this way when Kodi shuts down the script could still runs and when retropie is closed and the script launch Kodi the script ends and the detached terminal is closed so no extra terminals remains open.
