Help! Launches to login screen following update from 3.6 to 4.1

marblesmike

Hello,

I had been running RetroPie 3.6 via Berryboot on my Rpi2 with Wifi. No issues.

I decided to run an update via the configuration menu. First I updated the RetroPie update script and then via the same menu did the "Update all installed packages," selected yes on all options. After taking over an hour to update, I reboot and launch into RetroPie via the Berryboot menu.

However, now when it launches, it briefly shows the RetroPie splash screen, and then instead of going into the EmulationStation splash and launching, I just get a command prompt asking me to login.

Did I miss something or a setting when updating? Should I just wipe and go back to 3.6?

Thanks for that! So I guess I'll have to manually inject the Berryboot version of the Retropie image for 4.1 and install it that way rather than updating?

@marblesmike I think so. I tried BerryBoot briefly just to test it out but found it so frustrating I would never recommend it to anyone.

@marblesmike Here is an up to date image if that's the way you want to go. http://berryboot.alexgoldcheidt.com/images/

Yeah Berryboot is good for multiple boot options. I'm running Linux, Kodi and RetroPie all separately so it offers a lot of flexibility and back up options. But thanks for the advice!

@marblesmike RetroPie runs on Raspbian Linux, and includes Kodi, so you don't need to tripleboot (the berryboot images are not supported and have little testing, so you would be better off with the standard setup)

@BuZz My concern is the performance of having Kodi/Retropie in one image vs having one image for both.

BuZz

@marblesmike Why would you think there would be a performance difference ?

marblesmike

@BuZz I just figured that running Kodi and Retropie on one image would cause issues, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Is there a current Retropie image that included Kodi as a port (I'm assuming that's how Kodi is integrated into Retropie)?

BuZz

@marblesmike https://retropie.org.uk/download/ - but you need to install Kodi from retropie-setup.

@BuZz got it, thanks
