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

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

blazein

what does this mean
pure virtual method called terminate called without an active exception aborted

mitu

@blazein It means your Emulationstation crashed - so probably auto-login works now.

blazein

@mitu so do the raspi config again

mitu

@blazein I'm sorry - what exactly are you asking ?

blazein

@mitu i did the auto login again from the raspi config settings now im getting pure virtual method called terminate called without an active exception aborted

Yes, and I said that's an error from Emulationstation, not related to the auto-login. Is auto-login working now or you still get the login prompt ?

blazein

@mitu still goin to the command screen when do the login auto

That's because Emulationstation crashes and it leaves you at the command line. Try updating your packages (if you haven't done so) and if you still get the error, then you should open a new topic with this problem - it's no longer an auto-login issue - and provide the information asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
