White flicker on moving through UI after update to 4.2.3
-
@TMNTturtlguy so do I press enter after the first line, or do I press a different key? Cause when I typed in the first line and then enter I got the -bash, also I went to update Retropie script and it only took a minute. Is that normal cause it makes me believe that nothing was downloaded

yes you press enter. make sure you have a space between cd and /home
Retropie script and it only took a minute
It probably means that your script was up to date and it did not replace anything. Depending on what I have done to my system i have had it update in less than 20-30 seconds, and I have had it take a couple of minutes.
-
@RedBatman after following the instructions from the previous post, then go to manage packages, main packages (I believe), emulationstation, update from source.
-
Got it working now, I accidentally updated the main packages instead of emulation station, white box on console png is gone.

@RedBatman great news! Enjoy

@NightRune hi.
Just saw this come up:
https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/issues/141
Might be related to your problem.
I'm curious as to what changes you did vs the default one that may have triggered it. Would love to see a sample of the theme!
-
@NightRune it seems it was fixed just now. Would you try to update from source and see if it's sorted for you?
Thanks.

@pjft off topic, but can you send me the correct web address for your github omx stable build. I love your script and use it all the time, but i have been playing with the one @meleu build yesterday and for whatever reason when i go to your github page and pull the web link it says it fails to build, but when i run your script, it runs perfectly. I was able to try out the no transition theme using his web address no problem at all. thanks
-
@TMNTturtlguy you tried this repo:
https://github.com/pjft/EmulationStation
with this branch:RetroPie-OMX-Player
in my script and it failed to build ES? -
@meleu no, i tried
https://github.com/pjft/EmulationStation ES-OMX-Master-Merged-Stable
as i think this is the one that he was linking me to previously -
@TMNTturtlguy oh, I got it.
The URL/branch I posted above is based on @pjft 's PR to RetroPie's emulationstation repository.
-
@meleu for some reason this doesn't want to build, so i am just wondering if i need to do something different? If not it is not big deal because I have a script to his repository anyways. In his script he doesn't list the web address the same way yours does, so i can't just replicate it.
Your script works great! Nice tool to have.
-
@TMNTturtlguy can you show me what script you are talking about?
also, my script compiles those several ES branches using the same method used to compile the official RetroPie ES. Then, if @pjft wants to merge that PR to RetroPie ES, I think it should be compiled using the same method.
edit: I'm not near to my RetroPie now, but I'll try to compile @pjft ES branch when I get home.

Hi all, apologies for the delay. Between different time-zones we're all in, and the fact that I've kind of been sick at home since the weekend lead me to be posting a bit less.
That being said, that is correct: @meleu 's linked branch is the one from my PR for OMX integration into the main branch, but the repository @TMNTturtlguy is referring to is effectively the other one.
There should be no black magic there, and the code should be compiling. I don't know what may be the problem.
What error are you getting? You can pretty much see the code here, but it's effectively just a copy of Zigurana's own ES-Kids installation script, which in turn uses the main ES settings for compilation - for anything from dependencies to swap file size.
That being said, if other branches (for instance, Zigurana's) is building correctly but mine isn't, I'd be interested in learning the error. I have no idea what it may be - assuming, as I said, that the code is effectively compiling, which it should, especially if it runs well via the RetroPie-Setup script.
Let me know how I can help.

@TMNTturtlguy can you post the error messages you're having?

@TMNTturtlguy Thanks for the best wishes. Should be good soon - must've been something the kids picked up and passed on to me.
Hmm. @meleu might be best able to help here, but it seems that it's trying to download a branch named "ES", rather than "ES-something".
Could you be parsing the string somehow and truncating it at the "-" sign?

@pjft here is exactly how I have it entered into the script:
