Retropie won't load

[sleve_mcdichael]

@raspberry79 if it's set to boot to Kodi then no matter how many times you reboot, it's always going to boot to Kodi.

When i try to exit, same thing.

That seems wrong though. When you exit without rebooting, it is supposed to load EmulationStation after.

@sleve_mcdichael
yes, that what it should do. I keep hitting the enter key on the keyboard but kodi keeps loading instead of loading into Emulationstation. Just trying to figure out how to fix that issue.

@raspberry79 Please post the contents of /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh.

@BuZz
Today, i was able to exit to load Emulationstation to Retropie.
But, i would take 2 or 3 or more tries to exit Kodi to load retropie, how to fix that problem and how can u fix it.

autostart.sh should be small enough to paste in a message here. Just put the content between code blocks:

```
...like this
```

(Those are back-ticks.)

@sleve_mcdichael
ah, u talking about ssh to the pi

[sleve_mcdichael]

@raspberry79 yes or you can connect a keyboard and access the terminal (if you can quit Kodi without rebooting. Otherwise yes SSH would allow you to check remotely.)

[raspberry79]

@sleve_mcdichael
Yes, i had today manage to exit Kodi to load retropie Emulationstation
how would i get to the terminal window, I have the keyboard going.

From EmulationStation you can press F4 on an attached keyboard, or on a controller press Start and then choose Quit.

[raspberry79]

@sleve_mcdichael
So i got the terminal window up
So if i type this in /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh
then will it fix the problem when exiting kodi to load emulationstation

No, we need to see the contents of that file. Please type:

cat /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh

...and show us what it says.

[raspberry79]

@sleve_mcdichael
Ah, i just type that into the terminal window and it will open up to the problem that u want to get and past for u to see.

[sleve_mcdichael]

@raspberry79 yes.

[raspberry79]

@sleve_mcdichael
I typed it in and this comes up

Do anyone have the same problem or is there anyone who can just exit kodi and load into ES

[mitu]

The autostart.sh is ok, it instructs the system to boot kodi and (when it exits) start emulationstation.

What might happen is kodi crashing on exit and then automatically restarting, thus not allowing EmulationStation to start.

Go into Kodi settings, choose System and then in the Input sub-menu, go to Peripherals and disable the CEC Adapter. Then restart your system and see if exiting kodi still has issues.

@mitu
Now that i can access the terminal window, can i also do a upgrade on the Pi
