@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
