Install a development build. 5.0 stable is known to be broken in very recent distros.

use this PPA if you don't feel like compiling yourself. https://launchpad.net/~dolphin-emu/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

you want 'dolphin-emu-master'

[jamesguessis]

any idea how I could fix this?

uh, huh.

It seems that package was designed to work with 16.04 LTS and nothing newer, as that package doesn't exist in 17.04. As far as I know we don't maintain that PPA so you would have to ask the PPA maintainer.


I don't know how you can fix this. A workaround could be to compile dolphin from source. We use don't use anything exotic with cmake so it shouldn't be terribly difficult.
