Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf/issues/220

I am unable to load retroarch. Steam works, other things seem to be working fine. I suspect I can work around this by changing the retroarch config (how do I do that?).

I'm using Ubuntu server 24.04, Nvidia driver 535 on an ancient quadro p620:

Are you using the container toolkit? Have you tried the manual Nvidia driver volume instead?

I had the container toolkit installed in the host OS (tried to use it for steam-headless in the past), but I used the manual setup method for wolf. I tried to find any missing packages to install by searching around for that error, but they had no effect.
