maybe try installing Retropie on a new SD card and see what happens

@retroprogrammer I am connected to WiFi. Should I try Ethernet? I was unaware that would make a difference. thanks

[retroprogrammer]

@funimation its okay if that doesn't work try a new SD card

[mitu]

@retroprogrammer Why would you think a new card is needed ?

[funimation]

@retroprogrammer Hmm.. I have seen some people say just a fresh install will make it work. Just didnt want to wipe things. Guess I will make a backup of roms.

[retroprogrammer]

My bad just write over the old one sorry

[retroprogrammer]

yes a fresh install will do it sorry @funimation @mitu

[retroprogrammer]

Just woke up a little drowsy

[mitu]

I remember someone had a similar problem - see if this will fix the error:

[retroprogrammer]

@funimation does Ethernet make any difference?

[funimation]

@mitu thanks for the suggestion . After trying to set it up manually, it stops here.

Not quite sure what to type from here on .

@retroprogrammer
After plugging it into the ethernet it did not work. However I tried manually and am stuck. See above picture.

[mitu]

@funimation The files in /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang seem empty. Delete that folder and then use the setup script to re-install the golang package, then try installing the scraper package.

[funimation]

@mitu Interesting. Thank you! I am still learning. This is my second pi. I cannot try this till after work today. I will respond this evening and we will see how it went!

[funimation]

@funimation Would I delete these from the config script, or within retropie setup?

[mitu]

@funimation You'd delete them from the command line - either log in via SSH on the device, or exit EmulationStation. Then execute

cd /opt/retropie/supplementary/
sudo rm -fr golang

After the folder is deleted, start Emulationstation (type emulationstation at the command prompt), go to the RetroPie setup script and re-install the golang package, then try again to install and run the Scraper.

@mitu it seems to have worked somewhat. I am currently stuck at “getting sources for ‘scraper’ : Scraper for Emulation Station by Steven Selph”

It hasn’t moved for about 20 minutes . Maybe I’ll wait an hour or so and if nothing has happened I’ll retry.
Sorry for all the posts ! Hopefully it is good now. It is connected to Ethernet. Maybe I’ll also try WiFi

[retroprogrammer]

maybe your Ethernet and WIFI are slow

[funimation]

@retroprogrammer XD thanks. It is actually pretty fast. So ill keep trying things. Thanks tho!
