Cannot run retropie-setup, WiFi config, or Bluetooth config etc on 4.0.2
-
Pi Model: Pi 3
RetroPie Version Used: 4.0.2
Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
USB Devices connected: PS3 controller
Controller used: PS3 controller
Error messages received: Did not find needed package(s): git dialog wget gcc g++ build-essential xmlstarlet gcc-4.9 g++-4.9. I am trying to install them now.
Guide used: n/a
File: n/a
Emulator: n/a
Attachment of config files: default
How to replicate the problem: dd if=./[retropie-4.0.2.img] of=/dev/[sdcard]Vanilla official retropie flashed, nothing added or removed, only modified config.txt on /boot to get proper video out settings
I tried to configure my PS3 controller with bluetooth, but I got an error message that certain packages were missing and there were attempts to download them, and following that are error messages saying "(does network require authentication?)" so I tried to configure WiFi, same problem, so I hook up Ethernet with dhcp and restart retropie, retry these options, packages still don't download... So I tried "show IP" from the retropie menu but still getting errors about these missing packages.
Not sure what to do, going back to an earlier version I guess

I don't know why you would get

on the image - as those are already installed.if you get the message above even when trying to configure wifi, it sounds like sdcard corruption or the image wasn't written properly or something.

@BuZz Thanks :) I will try again with a different SDcard r/w device as I have tried reflashing with no luck
Come to think of it I will try another sdcard as well since this one is brand new just for retropie, maybe it is defective. This probably is the problem, I should have tried this before posting. Thanks again!

@GirlUSoCrazy working now, sdcard was indeed bad, thanks again!
