https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-hide-the-boot-textand it started occurring
-
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.

@dildo_baggins
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.

here is my cmdline.txt for your records (its all in one line):
more /boot/cmdline.txt

@dildo_baggins There is a warning on https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-hide-the-boot-text saying:
make sure it is all on the same line!!!Check it.

this error looks very similar to this however adding the rc.local doesnt rsolve..
-
@dildo_baggins
compared with mine, where yours hasconsole=serial0,115200, mine hasconsole=ttyAMA0,115200. Try to change it. -
i disabled serial all together via raspi-config (not showing up in cmdline.txt anymore...
