I have the same problem. The loadscreen pops up and close after 2 seconds.
I didn't find any log from emulationstation.My specs are (I'm on a laptop):
Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS x64
i5 450M
8Gb Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
Now I'm trying the 32bit version of ubuntu. I will reply with news -
@thepbv what is your monitor's resolution?
-
@herb_fargus 1080p i use my TV
But i have installed a older version 4.02 and that version runs
the newest version wont work.And emulated games are slow
-
@gioelem3 i`m now running version 4.02 and thats works.
but its slow now. so i try to fix thatYou can find the older version on github
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/releasesJust download the scource code (Zip)
Then delete the retropie setup folder in your HOME directory and the Retropie folder
And replace it with the Retropie setup folder from the 4.02 zip file.
Rename it to Retropie-setup.Now start the setup again.
cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh -
@thepbv I was having the same issue. This seems to have resolved it.
Thanks. -
To help me debug it please post the output of
cat $HOME/.emulationstation/es_log.txt(formatting it in a code block) after ES fails to load. -
@BuZz I have this problem as well.. the log isn't all that helpful:
tv@bombadil:/etc/emulationstation$ cat ~/.emulationstation/es_log.txt lvl2: EmulationStation - v2.0.1a, built Nov 25 2016 - 10:35:11 lvl2: Creating surface... lvl2: Created window successfully. lvl2: Checking available OpenGL extensions... lvl2: ARB_texture_non_power_of_two: ok lvl2: Loading system config file /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg... lvl1: System "ngp" has no games! Ignoring it. tv@bombadil:/etc/emulationstation$ -
anything more if you run
/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh --debug? - Please format the output in a code block as requested - http://commonmark.org/help/I fixed up your previous post styling.
-
Also please make sure you update all installed packages first from retropie-setup.

@BuZz A bit more interesting:
tv@bombadil:~$ /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh --debug lvl2: EmulationStation - v2.0.1a, built Nov 25 2016 - 10:35:11 lvl2: Creating surface... lvl2: Created window successfully. lvl2: Checking available OpenGL extensions... lvl2: ARB_texture_non_power_of_two: ok lvl2: Loading system config file /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg... lvl1: System "amstradcpc" has no games! Ignoring it. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::filesystem::filesystem_error' what(): boost::filesystem::create_directory: Permission denied: "/home/tv/.emulationstation/gamelists/amstradcpc" Aborted (core dumped) tv@bombadil:~$ -
@croob That directory is owned by root:
tv@bombadil:~/.emulationstation$ ls -l total 12 -rw-r--r-- 1 tv tv 194 Nov 25 09:54 es_input.cfg -rw-rw-r-- 1 tv tv 343 Nov 25 18:38 es_log.txt drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 25 07:18 gamelists tv@bombadil:~/.emulationstation$ -
@croob I changed the ownership of that directory to my username and it appears to work. Now it brought me to the controller setup screen.
-
@croob it was a bug introduced recently with some retropie menu changes. should be fixed for fresh installs.
-
@croob This is with retropie 4.1 or 4.0.2?
EDIT: I have installed the 4.0.2 and then the 4.1. Now emulationstation don't crashes.
-
@thepbv Everything works with the 4.0.2
-
@gioelem3 It was the newest version. 4.1 I think.
