Emulation Station isn't starting anymore :-(

rbaker

@Water-White So have you been pulling the cord to power off?

Water White

@rbaker I'm not sure, maybe that happened accidently the last time I used it...

Water White

I had to edit the first post, cause I misspelled one word. Its "libpthreaf.so.0" and not "lipthreaf.so.0". Does anyone have a clue?

By the way: I dont find any infos about that "libpthreaf.so.0" file on google, there are only some infos about a "libpthread.so.0" file.

rbaker

@Water-White Are you sure it is not "libpthread"?

Water White

yes... I'm logged in in retropie right now via terminal and ssh. When I run the command "emulationstation" I get exactly this message, which I copied with cmd+c cmd+v here:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation: error while loading shared libraries: libpthreaf.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@Water-White My advice is to rebuild your image.

Water White

Ok, does that mean, that I am loosing all my configurations, save games, custom boarders etc which I were building during the last months? or is there a way, to keep those?

@Water-White you should be able to ssh into it with a program like putty or if you can press f4 and get to the command line and in the command line type:

sudo /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

Then in there you can reinstall emulationstation

Water White

Yeah, you mean doing another "Basic Install"? I did this but the problem is still the same :-(

Water White

So I guess I have to format my sd card and do a completly new install?

You are missing an important library - probably sdcard corruption or bad sdcard - although you could try reinstalling these libs, other stuff could be affected - reimage is the best bet. I have never had this happen on a good sdcard - so you might want to look into getting another.

Water White

I'm using an 32 gb intenso sd card. Would you call it a good one? @BuZz ?

BuZz

@Water-White no idea, but I've never heard of the brand.

Water White

@BuZz : You are right, the the sd card seems to be corrupted. I tried to format it and I got error meassages. So topic is done, thanks for your help :-)
