      Thanks for the confirmation. I still wonder how that could be technically. (?)

        @clyde Do you want to know how to do it automatically (with a command) instead of going through the RP script menus ?

          @mitu No, I still don't understand how disabling the splash screen can fix a broken autostart.

            @clyde enabling the splashcreen automatically regenerates the default autostart script. It's part of the setup script you can look what it calls in the code on github

            If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

            Also if you want a solution to your problems read this first: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

              @herb_fargus Okay, that makes sense. So, every setting that recreates the startup script could be used as a "fix" for some autostart problems – if the splash screen setting isn't the only one that does it, of course.
              Thank you for expanding my knowledge of this world. :)

                      @blazein said in First boot up of retropie comes up with a command line.:

                      i tried everything

                      What does 'everything' mean ? This is what I've asked. This question is already answered in several topics in the forum:

                      • https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18582/auto-login-not-working/
                      • https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18591/asking-for-retropie-login-on-boot-after-update

                      Have you tried any of the solutions posted in those topics ?

                                  OK, so if you're at the command prompt, then run sudo raspi-config and you'll be presented with a menu, where you can follow the instructions from the topics I mentioned and re-enable auto-login.
                                  What happens if you type sudo raspi-config and press enter after you login ?

                                          @blazein Then you may have a different problem. The way RetroPie configures auto-login is exactly how you set it up in raspi-config, so if it doesn't work now then there's another problem at stake.
