The only part of the runcommand (which runs the games) that uses sudo is the CPU governor switch. Try adding your user - that auto-logins and runs Emulationstation - to the sudoers configuration file so is able to run sudo without being prompted for password. Type sudo visudo to start editing the file and make sure you have an entry with <user> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL but replace <user> with your actual username.

@Dwarfboysim said in sudo apt autoremove - is it safe for Retropie?: Will I break anything? Is it recommended? No, it will not break anything.

@mitu Seems a bit odd to launch a shell script for the sole purpose of launching another shell script, but it works. Thank you

@fabio78 glad it worked. It’s one of the first huge issues I ran into when I started to make more advanced changes.

@project_gamer You messed up the permissions on the /etc/sudoers file. Boot the PI in safe mode and restore the permissions on the file - it should be owned by root and not by the pi user. You probably chown-ed the /etc folder to the pi user :(.

Hi again, Sorry about that, after entering amixer -i the output is amixer: Mixer default error: No such file or directory and entering amixer -l just gave the above error when I thought you said amixer -1, And would you have any idea about how I would even read the boot/config.txt file Thanks

@kormik home/pi is owned by pi not root
