a set up script error

kgriffin

I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I updated the setup script on my raspberry pi this morning and since then any time I got to any setting in emulation stations I get the above message. It also shows the same message if I try and go to attract mode.

@kgriffin What image is this?

@rbaker this is the what I get any time I go into any settings like config, themes or any option in retropie.

@kgriffin You probably get this when trying to install a package or try to update, because of the package repository is no longer available (dl.bintray.com/pipplware). That was the old Kodi repository, so you should try and update the RetroPie-setup script, then the Kodi package and try again a full update of the packages.

ok but what image is it? Where did you get it from? is it the official download?

@rbaker i bought the memory card off hyperspin systems.com. I have asked them for help regards this but have got no reply to any of my emails.

@mitu I can't access any menu to update anything. This message shows any time I go into any options in retro pie

mitu

@kgriffin Ok, then you need to remove the repository from your list. Remove the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pipplware.list and then re-try.

@kgriffin
Pardon me if I'm wrong but you paid for a modified retropie, moreover shipped with roms (which is illegal BTW).
As stated here we can't help you, simply because we don't know what modifications your retailer did.
I'm sure the retropie community would be glad to help if you use the official, unmodified (and free) retropie image.
Until then, you may ask support from your retailer.

@kgriffin @Sano is right, please use the official RetroPie image if you want any kind of support here. Note that selling systems based on the RetroPie image is not legal and it's against the RetroPie license. You should get you money back, you got scammed.

@mitu ok thanks for the info, I'm not too technical so thought buying a card but be the easiest.

This is not surprising.

Pity you got taken advantage of. It's quite the lucrative business model to take other people's work, sell it as your own, then send the users to people you stole it from for support! Why didn't I think of this? Id be a bajillionaire!
