Solved Emulator menu is missing most of labels

[coderus]

Hello!
Last week i built recalbox from scratch to my rpi3 and found one problem. Emulator menu is missing most of labels

@coderus something must be wrong with the way you compiled it. No problem on my side.

[coderus]

@paradadf well, no ideas about troubleshooting? i didn't succeeded googling my case, i'll try to recompile for sure

[paradadf]

@coderus how could I have an idea if you haven‘t mentioned nothing else than saying you compiled it. Anyway, we have compilation instructions on gitlab and if you follow them, it will work.

[coderus]

but what if it doesn't?

ARCH="rpi3" git clone https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox.git recalbox-${ARCH}
not working because variable is not expanded on the same expression, it should be
export ARCH="rpi3"; git clone https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox.git recalbox-${ARCH}

compiled with scripts/linux/recaldocker.sh

compilation failing at
https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/issues/941

fixed by changing configgen version from this commit:
https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/merge_requests/806/diffs#5a63358ecb48a0b938377fa0c5cdd211c64ef647_8_7

flashed result image to sdcard, booted, shut down, copied psx games to sdcard, booted, started game, opened emulator menu, got bug as on picture.

@coderus I b*mped configgen, but using the previous commit shouldn’t affect the compilation (it compiled fine before), as the change is minimal and unrelated both to a compilation fail and even less to retroarch itself.
I don‘t understand what exact commands you are using, because you probably formatted it wrong. Also, no idea what build environment you have. If you keep having troubles, I‘d suggest to wait a couples of days until my „big b*mp“ is merged.

[coderus]

@paradadf can i build from your branch?

my commands are:

export ARCH="rpi3"
git clone https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox.git recalbox-${ARCH}
cd recalbox-${ARCH}
sed -i -e "s/RECALBOX_CONFIGGEN_VERSION.*$/RECALBOX_CONFIGGEN_VERSION = 9df8d46713c4b282943e0cd3109cb82af265afb5/" package/recalbox-configgen/recalbox-configgen.mk
scripts/linux/recaldocker.sh

@coderus you‘ll have to find a git tutorial online.

[coderus]

@paradadf thanks, i know a lot about git, that was not the question

so, the problem was in regional settings. when i change recalbox language to russian this bug happens, works fine with english. closing this thread, but hope this issue will be resolved in some future

(retroarch psx menu works fine when russian is selected with current stable release version)

[paradadf]

@coderus it is very important to give all information. Otherwise, (I don't mean it wrong) it is a waste of time. If the issue still persits once 6.1 is out, please open a descriptive issue on gitlab so it doesn't get lost in the forum.

@paradadf https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/issues/943 done, thanks.
