Retropie installation set mode failure #749

Closed fede843 closed 1 year ago

Hello, I am trying to get attract mode to work in a raspberry pi 4. It has:

   Linux raspberrypi 6.1.31-v8+ #1654 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 30 17:18:56 BST 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux

and on top of that RetroPie script. I tried installing atract mode as an experimental package. All seems good from logs. Packages are in place, but when trying to run it I get:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ attract
Attract-Mode v2.7.0 (Linux, SFML 2.5.1 +FontConfig +SWF +Curl)
avcodec 58.91.100 / avformat 58.45.100 / swscale 5.7.100 / avutil 56.51.100 / swresample 3.7.100

Config: /opt/retropie/configs/all/attractmode/attract.cfg

*** Initializing display: 'Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator'
 - Loaded master romlist 'Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator' in 33 ms (4705 entries kept, 0 discarded)
 - Constructed 1 filters in 0 ms (4705 comparisons)
Failed to set mode: Permission denied

Not enterally sure if this is a problem related to the project here or the retropie installation. In any case I am posting it here to see if someone else had the same issue, or maybe some one can show me the way.

The reason is that I was trying to get it started from the Desktop Environment. Once I booted to the console, it worked just fine.
