retropie menu is not working

[zyul81]

hi i have a problem and hopefully someone will help me I installed several optional packages the last one was kodi i ran it and ask me to configure the controller but it got stuck i had to unplug my pie because not even the keyboard was working. after that i tried to use the retropie menus but it shows an error none of the options work there but it boots normaly into emulation station and everything else works fine'
i have a raspberry pi 3 b+ with a keyboard and 2 zero delay controller boards running on the latest retropie update.

@zyul81 What is the error you're getting ?

@zyul81 Run from the command line

cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup 
git pull
sudo apt install -y --reinstall lsb-release

and then try again. I guess some files are corrupted on disk.

@mitu after typing git pull it shows an error " cannot lock 'refs/remotes/origin/master': unable to resolve reference ' refs/remotes/origin/master' : reference broken
From https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-setup
! [new branch] master -> origin/master (unable to update local ref)

Can you try cloning again the RetroPie repo and see if you get any error:

cd $HOME
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-setup rp.test

@mitu when i try to reinstall lsb-release it says
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 1) line 4.
) -- aborting
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:

[zyul81]

@mitu it says
Warning: templates not found /usr/share/git-core/templates
remote: not found
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/RetroPie-Setup/' not found

@zyul81 said in retropie menu is not working:

fatal: repository 'https://github.com/RetroPie-Setup/' not found

It's https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-setup.

@mitu (Can't locate Debconf/Log.pm in @INC

I think your installation is corrupted - the system installation utilities are not working and you'll not be able to fix it doesn't look like you can install anything on it. I'd say to save your ROMs and configs - via file shares - and reinstall.

@mitu I am running retropie on my raspberry pi 3 b plus earlier today I went to the retropie setup and it didn’t launch for me then I rebooted the system and it still didn’t work any suggestions?

[mitu]

@xgamer020 Please open a separate topic and describe your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
If you experience the same symptoms as in the current topic, then I'm afraid that the advice would be similar - backup and re-image.
