@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.)

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

@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.

@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.

@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
