@BuZz Yes. It was that. Changed back the bluetooth connect mode to default and is solved. It was in background mode because my SNES30 joystick was temperamental about connecting with Retropie. I did an update from the the old Retropie version rather than a new install. And maybe because that the bug still present. Thanks a lot.

@mitu oh, ok, i just fixed it by editing my sudoers file.

@mitu I had the same issue. It would always ask for a password on first game only. I followed the guides to no avail and found my problem was where in the file I put the user. It must go at the end of the sudoers file after the #includedir line. Once I did that it loaded without asking for permission. I doubled checked by rebooting and running emulationstation again and it loaded as expected. Hope this provides some clarity. This StackExchange thread is where I finally figured out my error.

@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
