runcommand blinking cursor (no launch menu)
-
Hello All,
Version: 4.0.3
runcommand settings:
use_art = "0"
disable_joystick = "1"
governor = ""
disable_menu = "0"upon selecting a rom, i dont get the launch menu anymore (it shows the login prompt) eventually launches the game.
also from es if i attempt to access retropie setup, it goes to login prompt and never launches the option at all.
this started with the latest update. no other changes were made to a working setup.
note: the screenshot with the prompt in the background:

I'm not sure, but the symptoms that you describe make me believe that the problem is in your
es_systems.cfg.can you please paste your
/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfgin pastebin.com ? -
ok heres an interesting tidbit. if i quit emulation station either via the start button or hitting F2/ to command prompt then run "emulationstation" it does not prompt and the launcher menu becomes available.
i believe this may be a bug with 4.0.3.

If exit and go back to emulationstation solves the problem, then I started to suspect another file:/opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.shTell us: were everything working fine before you updated to 4.0.3?

Yep. everything was fine until this upgrade. and also i tested with a fresh install on 4.0.0 base image. once i patch to latest it occurs again.
here is my autostart.sh:
emulationstation #auto
thats it

@dildo_baggins
Can you detail what exactly you did for update to 4.0.3?Did you simply go to retropie_setup and then chose "Update RetroPie-Setup script" and finish? Or did you update some other package?
-
Here is my es_systems.cfg (nothing that the TG16 and Genesis arent using the correct theme for some reason):
(TOO MANY RULES... not enough fixing) :)
-
@meleu i ran update all packages

done....

@dildo_baggins Unable to reproduce your issue here...

Oh! You edited your previous post with more info...
THEN.. updated everything to 4.0.3. and ran this (no other config): https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-hide-the-boot-text
Everything makes sense now. I'm pretty sure that this is related to the configs you made to hide the boot text...

why would that matter if only these 2 items were done:
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
*change console=tty1 to console=tty3
And add quiet loglevel=3 logo.nologo at the end.*
this was done in the prior enviornment as well so as to boot to splash screen then emulation station.
i had this setting in this enviornment prior to 4.0.3 and all was well.
