Update from source. I think that in a couple of days you can get it updating from binary. But since the PR was merged a few hours ago, I'm not sure if the binary version was updated.

pjft

Correct. Also, if you install this, you'll lose the kids mode features.

@pjft @meleu I havent updated my PS branch so it doesnt have the latest commits with these systems. I will have to test the functionality after updating.

Have you tried the latest commit for PS? I have got the description scrolling. Can you verify the behaviour?

@pjft Oh sweet, so if i update Emulationstation from source it will remove kids mode?? been trying to figure out how to uninstall it without ruining anything

cyperghost

You can make backup of current binary emulationstationin opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/
If you like kids mode more then just copy it back.

@cyperghost thanks man!

so im updating ES from source and its stuck at 86% building CXX object... what should i do? restart and redo?

pjft

@Hex I haven't had the chance, apologies. Should be able to look into it in the coming days, potentially Monday in as worst case scenario.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thank you.

Okay.. This is the 2nd time i tried updating from source and it froze at 84% and turned off my network on my Pi.. basically i cant SSH or SAMBA and on my Pi itself its stuck at 84%

the line its at is

[84%] Building CXX object es-app/CMakeFiles/emulationstation.dir/src/guis/GuiFastSelect.cpp.o

@red2blue Make backup of your current binary BEFORE compiling!

red2blue

@cyperghost my current setup is using Kids Mode, i dont really care about kids mode.. question is... is the binaries updated with this current build ^

pjft

@red2blue you need to exit EmulationStation before updating.

cyperghost

@red2blue Yes it will be overwritten!
and make suggestion @pjft
If you can't exit then connect via SSH and type killall emulationstation

red2blue

@cyperghost @pjft okay killed ES, and made backup just in case.

Should i update binary or source?

@meleu told you already

red2blue

@cyperghost @pjft it froze again at the same line 86% with emulationstation killed... wtf..

cyperghost

@red2blue What's the output if you type ps -a
I'm on 90% of compiling I can upload binary to my github archive! And you can copy it back! Even if this is not the recommended way.

red2blue

@cyperghost how do i do that

And yeah i'd appreciate that.. this is starting to get annoying

red2blue

the outcome is

PID TTY TIME CMD
917 tty1 00:00:00 bash
2184 pts/0 00:00:00 ps
