Retropie Menu Items Goes to Terminal

[chanh55]

Hi, I have a Raspberry Pi Zero, Retropie 3.8.1. I updated the script, updated all installed packages and updated optional packages. Now when I open any of the items in the Retropie Menu it asks for a login and password and goes straight to the terminal. How do I get the GUI menu back? Here are some pics.

Trying to get back to this menu type...

I changed the font size through the terminal and now my GUI menu is back...

how and what did you change the font size too?
im new to all this and i am having the same trouble

Hi, you can use the info in this link to change the font size (see below). Fortunately for me, that did the trick. but every time I changed something, it would go back to always booting to the command line. I finally had it and just reloaded a fresh image. Good luck.

@chanh55 paste the output of cat /boot/cmdline.txt please (can do this via SSH)

I reinstalled everything using a new image, but here's the output you requested.

pi@retropie:~ $ cat /boot/cmdline.txt
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet loglevel=3 console plymouth.enable=0eed=1

did it really have plymouth.enable=0eed=1 in it or is that a copy and paste issue ? it should have plymouth.enable=0 but not the part after.

@BuZz

Looks like it... Is that bad?

@chanh55 yes. Remove the eed=1 part
