Well, I just made the script. The RetroPie guys have way more work.
But if you really want to, you can buy me a beer with paypal @ maheld@biochem.uni-frankfurt.de
had the openvt error and it got solved with the new version of the script.
But I still got some depencies that were not installed:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libsdl2 : Depends: libxcursor1 (> 1.1.2) but it is not installed Depends: libxinerama1 but it is not installed Depends: libxss1 but it is not installed Depends: libxxf86vm1 but it is not installed Depends: libudev0 but it is not installable
when running emulationstation from the command line:
osmc@osmc:~$ emulationstation /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation: error while loading shared libraries: libXcursor.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Thanks for noticing.
Updated again to fix this.
I still get exactly the same openvt error - the script updated then I ran it again and it did all the fixing, but still no dice. I even did it another time to be sure, but I still see the same error.
Now the installation script works, but it doesnât create any shortcut.
Edit: I forget to say that retropie with OSMC runs in a rpi B without problems.
Maybe your apt-get is still brokenâŚ
Whatâs the output of apt-get -f install?
Could still be an error, please create the shortcut yourself for now.
Iâll check that out a little later when Iâm back home.
I ran script again, still same issue:
sudo: openvt: command not found
after apt-get -f install :
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

After this operation, 6795 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] nDo that and then run the script again without the retropie installation please.
Seems like we are on a point where there are different outcomes on different hardware or configurations.
I hope I fixed it now. If you have problems, please rerun it and reprt if it works now.
Sorry for any inconvenience, but everytime something changes, I have to react to this. Hope it will work a bit more stable from now on.
It worked for me after your fixed the script when I commented.
I did apt-get upgrade and install before running the script.
only thing it didnât do was create the shortcut but I did that myself.
thanks!
Thanks for reporting.
I think previous errors lead the apt database to an invonsistent state for some people so I try to check and fix that now before starting to use apt.
And again a fix because now I ran into a problem myself.
Well, now retropie.sh runs with no errors in ssh, but still - black screen and it returns to kodi.
When emulationstation:
osmc@osmc:~$ emulationstation
/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation: error while loading shared libraries: libXinerama.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
And apt-get -f install show this:
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

i tried to install this libxinerama1 but got this:
Package libxinerama1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another sourceI confirm that i got the same error with libxinerama1
Thanks for trying.
I have uploaded a new version. If you want you can try again.
But now I think I got some corrupted sectors on my sdcard because of too much installationsâŚ
Need to setup a new image tomorrow.
Sorry for that.
Now itâs working retropie.sh successfully launched emulationstation. Thx for your hardwork
Nice 
Be aware that as the Model B (not 2) uses Raspbian as a base it could be that the script messed up your /etc/apt/sources.list file as it remives all raspbian repositories in exit.
I should probably not do it this wayâŚ
Will fix with an update.
