Hi, I would like to set this up on my machine alongside kodi-standalone. Currently I have my machine configured to automatically login user kodi after boot. Then only Kodi starts without any DE. When I leave Kodi, I fall back to lightDM logon. Now I would like to login user retroarch and have it automatically start Retroarch without any DE just like Kodi (as user-session). Is this possible with this package? How can it be done?

Script has been fully rebased on top of XOrg. You should not have any more conflicts with your tty.

I had problems running this service as is. Logs below. http://pastebin.com/aZur5wFj Following the kodi-standalone-service service file https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kodi-standalone-service/, I created the drop in file /etc/systemd/system/retroarch-standalone.service.d/override.conf with the following. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Unit] After=systemd-user-sessions.service network.target sound.target Conflicts=getty@tty7.service [Service] TTYPath=/dev/tty7 ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/retroarch -- :0 -nolisten tcp vt7 StandardInput=tty ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service works fine, and I have enabled it to start on boot without any problems.

Hey, When executing systemctl start retroarch-standalone, the service can't start. Here is the status of the service: http://pastebin.com/cVkqFegS

Before anyone asks, yes, this is a package to make Retroarch working out-of-the-box with XMB menu, and all the relative small configurations that will make final user's life easier. By default you'll get: -> Retroarch user in your system with some permissions granted like audio, video, input, etc. -> Retroarch binary running as retroarch user ( sandboxed! ) inside the home directory /home/retroarch -> Cache folder configuration by default ( it means that if you load a ZIP file, this will be handled correctly ) -> Retroarch restarts by default if something wrong happens ( thanks systemd! ) -> Additional Retroarch configuration where some settings are applied ( like cache directory, assets directory, autoconfig directory, etc. ) With this small package, at the end you'll get a pleasure experience to just install, run and enjoy your games. Automatic support and configuration for pads too ( like Xbox 360, etc. ). If something is not working, please write a feedback here, thank you!
