Batocera Pixlecad (Bitpixel version), and x86 machine?

you're the first user I know of to try this on x86 so bear with me

this tells me that java didn't install right

/userdata/system/jdk/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

pixelcade does need java to work so we'll need to fix that first

and then also note that Pixelcade dynamic scrolling will need the next version of Batocera which is in the works but with the current release, you'll get updates when a game is launched and also high scores, just not updates when scrolling the games before launching

so back to the java, try installing a jdk from here https://www.azul.com/downloads/?package=jdk#download-openjdk

and be sure that java ends up in this path

/userdata/system/jdk/bin/java
you'll know if java is working , if you get the version from this command

./userdata/system/jdk/bin/java -version

@pixelcade-admin I am willing to bear with you!! 🙂 I love your products and love Batocera on this machine as it utilized the 1070 it has very well lol. I am sure with your help we can get it working. And then I will post a YouTube video if it helps 🙂

I will give that command a shot this evening! 🙂

Looking at that error though it mentions LCD? I do t have the LCD so is it relevant?

Also maybe it is a different version of Java? Does this require a specific version?

@pixelcade-admin also what idk should I install?

ignore the LCD as the script just searches your network if there is a Pixelcade LCD and moves on if not. That program though is Java based and hence the error. So we'll just need to get java working on your build and then should be home free. From Zulu , go through the drop downs and pick the java for your x86 architecture, we can do a remote teamviewer call too if needed to get things going

also type this command uname -m and let me know what comes back

Well just got home and before trying to install I got this: [root@BATOCERA /userdata/system]# /userdata/system/jdk/bin/java -version
/userdata/system/jdk/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
[root@BATOCERA /userdata/system]#

So something is there lol

I am also very Linux dumb, and found what I thought would install the Java but it did not.

Go to https://www.azul.com/downloads/?package=jdk , scroll down and download the latest .tar.gz package available for ARM (not x86_64).
Extract the .tar.gz file to anywhere on your userdata. From SSH, you can run tar -xzvf .tar.gz to extract it and then /bin/java -version to check that it was extracted successfully (instructions taken from https://docs.azul.com/core/zulu-openjdk/install/rpm-based-linux#install-from-binary-tar-gz-file ).
You can then also add the file to /usr/bin directory to use the java command from anywhere: export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH and run batocera-save-overlay to keep the changes permanent (until next upgrade).
I do not know if this will allow Kodi to use it.

If you’d like a single line command that does all of this automatically:
curl -kLo - https://cdn.azul.com/zulu-embedded/bin/zulu8.58.0.13-ca-jdk8.0.312-linux_aarch64.tar.gz | gunzip -c | tar -x --strip-components=1

It ran but did nothing?

[root@BATOCERA /userdata/system]# curl -kLo - https://cdn.azul.com/zulu-embedded/bin/zulu8.58.0.13-ca-jdk8.0.312-linux_aarch64.tar.gz | gunzip -c | tar -x --strip-components=1

Any ideas/help?

the java install is not working so that's why needs to be fixed, I have not done java on x86 linux before so I would need to do a remote control session with you and see if we can figure it out, might have some time this weekend or early next week, send me a note at al@ledpixelart.com and we can find a time

also do this unix command

uname -m

and let me know what comes back

@pixelcade-admin will do this evening. Sorry I missed your comments last night lol

I’ll be home around 6pm PST and maybe we can connect then.

I downloaded the file for x68 just not sure how to install it or get it to the device to install lol.

updating the thread here for others, this issue resolved
