      Hi all,

      I am trying to install retropie 4.1 in a raspberry 2. After burning the image in a properly formatted sd card, I try to boot the pi with this card and it does not give me any error it just hangs forever in:
      Started Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

        @boriszar faulty SDCard, insufficent power supply, or badly written image.

        How many Raspberries show at the top left on boot ?

          I see only one raspberry at the left top corner. Additionally I decided to try with a different SD card and now I am getting a failed to start apply_noobs_os_config.service. Any suggestions ?

            @boriszar if you have one raspberry then you don't have a raspberry pi 2 and you have likely installed the wrong image.

            See https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation
