First boot up of retropie comes up with a command line.

[herb_fargus]

@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

@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 ?

[blazein]

@mitu cant run nothing from the command line

[blazein]

@mitu tried now still nothing

[mitu]

@blazein Did you login first ? Username is pi, password is raspberry.

[blazein]

@mitu yes done that its on the screen with the joystick
uptime
memory
running processes
ip adress
temper

[blazein]

the thing is was working till i restarted the retropie from the retropie menu

[mitu]

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]

@mitu comes up with rasppberry pi software confguration tool

[mitu]

@blazein OK, so it works - did you read any of the topics I mentioned ?

[blazein]

@mitu yes done both and then click finish

[mitu]

@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.

[blazein]

@blazein then says reboot now click yes

[blazein]

@blazein now gone back to the command screen

[blazein]

@blazein can u give me commands that u might think work

[blazein]

@blazein im doin the update and upgrade u think that work
