Retropie Bluetooth Issue
-
Well, I think something messed up. Unfortunately, now this is a switch of topic but before I went to update the script, I had my controller idle to look up info on my phone, and my jerkweed cat pressed a button on my controller (laid on it), and hit Binary Based Installation. I didnt want to pull the plug on the system, in fear of it bricking or something while it was installing stuff, but after 20 minutes that installation went through.
It brought it back to the retropie setup so THEN I hit update script, it updated and then I went to perform reboot after deleting the ps3 driver. Now my entire retropie is brought to a black screen with the different colors on it, and on the top it says:
/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation: error while loading shared libraries: libvlc.so.5: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
After that, it shows the typed colored picture of whatever it is and then it gives me a prompt to enter a command (pi@retropie:~ $)
Sorry, I know this is totally off topic but now I have no idea what to do, I need help baaaad. What did I mess up, and what do I have to do to fix it?
P.S: never own a cat.

@Msch87 update setup script. Reinstall emulationstation
-
Ok, how do I do both of those through this black screen.
I know I sound like a bit of a noob, but I only slightly am with this. I bought an emulation kit off amazon, and it already had everything already installed on it. So how do I go about doing that through this screen?
Thanks again for all your help, I really do appreciate it.
-
@Msch87 enter
sudo ./RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh
exactly as I have typed it here. -
Nevermind, I got everything working again by sudo apt install libvlc5 and sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade
-
@AlexMurphy thank you!
-
So, lol, hopefully this will be the last question I have to ask so I can leave you all alone.
I have everything loaded back up now. Script updated, AND deleted the ps3 driver (before everything went dead on me). I got back into EmulationStation to pair my ps4 controller, and now when I go to pair the device, its stuck on searching until I pull the plug on the pi. What do I do about this? Any fix for it?

Anyone?

@Msch87 we have no idea what the seller has done to the image so feel free to ask them for support or start fresh with the image we provide on our site
-
Well, the seller hasnt done anything, everything is working perfectly besides the bluetooth. Your sites image or not, this seems to be a common problem all over. I apologize for being a pain, just hoped you guys would give a little bit more insight on any possible fix on why the bluetooth is stuck on searching, you were so helpful before. Well, I'll ask elsewhere, thank you again for your time and responses.
-
@Msch87 it's stuck because you have the ps3controller driver installed.
-
@BuZz I deleted the driver though, even sudo purge sixad
