@ddkennedy said in Can't launch emulationstation from ssh on Raspberry pi 4: I am running the Raspbian desktop when i try to launch ES, it wasn't an issue with my RPi3b+ over ssh or when i launch directly from the pi. It is an issue now on the Pi4 - it's not going to work.

@mitu thanks but still could not get to work - I've found instructions on how to reformat a retropie SD card on mac, will just start again with fresh image :)

@mitu in this case he got the message because he deleted known_hosts on our recommendation.

Now it seems that when I use my phone to connect to the SSH from external source my port forwarding works, but I can't connect from my desktop using internal ip address. Retropie is 192.168.100.11 and desktop is 192.168.100.15...
