Configuration Editor fails to execute with error on configedit.sh
-
I installed for the first time RetroPie, on an Ubuntu system, following the instruction from page https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Debian/#download-retropie
I can play my games without problems and everything seemed to work properly, until I tried to use shaders.
When I try to access the Configuration Editor and select the option “Configure basic libretro emulator options” the menu closes and leave this message on the logs:Log started at: qui fev 6 16:34:47 -03 2020 RetroPie-Setup version: 4.5.9 (52f149a4) System: Ubuntu 19.04 - Linux ****** 5.0.0-13-generic #14-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 15 14:59:14 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Running action 'gui' for 'configedit' : Edit RetroPie/RetroArch configurations = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = /home/****/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/configedit.sh: linha 371: Error: Expected at least 5 tokens for --menu, have 4.

Can any one help me to figure out what is wrong with my installation?

Can't reproduce the error on a similar Ubuntu install, looks like there might be an issue with the
/opt/retropie/configs/folder (and the sub-folders).
Can your run the following command:find "/opt/retropie/configs" -type f -regex ".*/retroarch.cfg" -exec ls -ld {} \;and post the output here ?

Hello mitu, thank you for the replay.
This is the output of the find command:

Before installing RetroPie from git, I installed RetroArch from Ubuntu repository using apt-get. Later I uninstalled the Ubuntu RetroArch.

@akiles Try to clear out the
~/.config/retroarchfolder (delete it), then re-install theretroarchpackage from the RetroPie-Setup script. See if this has any impact on the error you're receiving. -
@mitu Reinstall RetroArch didn't solve the problem. I am starting to consider reinstall RetroPie from scratch.
