So I recently installed the latest release of the OS 0.3 found here;

> [@GameShell OS image files (v0.3-0.4)](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/gameshell-os-image-files/355):
>
> [[WeChat%20Image\_20190709185851]](http://dl.clockworkpi.com/clockworkos_v0.4.img.bz2) \*\*v0.4 latest release note:\*\* 1. Updated Linux Kernel to 5.2.RC4 2. Activated midi device support in Kernel by default (Tested with AKAI MPK mini, using USB OTG cable), preinstalled samplerbox in /opt 3. Updated Launcher to v1.25 4. Optimized menu icons and orders 5. Launcher now support theme selection, added OP1 dark theme provided by @stingray 6. Added more Indie Games, including Planet-Busters (Q1 Game Jam), No. 909 (Q1 Game Jam), 2048, Hurricane. 7. We will …

Then followed the defacto-standard for RetroArch, found here:

> my bad, apologies I thought it was something else

Which resulted in a Retcharch v1.7.6.

But when I adjust the:  
input\_drive = “x” TO input\_driver = “linuxraw”  
Save, and restart Retroarch, it simply locks up / crashes. Only way to recover is to ssh in, and kill it. Same applies to: input\_joypad\_driver = “udev” & linuxraw.

Is there something specific about linuxraw, like permissions perhaps that needs to be changed? Also, It’s fairly hard to debug without a log file, any idea how to turn that on? (or where it can be found)

Oh, and setting the driver to “gl” also crashes retroarch.

Anyone run into this? Figured out a way around it?

Cheers.

you enabled lima gpu driver?

if you use lima, sdl2 is the only one video\_driver working right now
