White flicker on moving through UI after update to 4.2.3

AlexMurphy

@RedBatman Don't worry as long as it doesn't throw any errors at you. Just let it do its' thing.

RedBatman

Only concern is the red thermometer symbol popping up, Should I buy a fan?

AlexMurphy

@RedBatman Only if you really need it. My Pis tend to run at about 50-60 Celsius, give or take. Get a heat sink and take the lid off and let some air flow over it. They can get warm when being stressed but I wouldn't worry too much.

RedBatman

Im using the stock heatsinks that came with my cana kit

AlexMurphy

@RedBatman Just take the lid off then and let some air at it. When the Pi is updating it is working pretty hard.

RedBatman

@AlexMurphy Well i started this update almost 2hrs ago and its still going, is that normal? I have Comcast Blast internet

RedBatman

Damn what could be causing it to take so long.

AlexMurphy

@RedBatman I take it you are in North America. It could just be the local servers are busy at this time. What time is it on the east coast , 9:20pm?

RedBatman

Yep it 9:25pm right now, and my mirror is University of Maryland.

RedBatman

Okay so 15 mins ago it finished, I still get the white box but the scrolling is smoother now

AlexMurphy

@RedBatman Did you reboot?

RedBatman

@AlexMurphy yes I rebooted after I installed.

AlexMurphy

@RedBatman And you definitely updated from source and not the binary?

RedBatman

@AlexMurphy yes

AlexMurphy

@RedBatman And you are still seeing this?

RedBatman

So I guess I should wait for an official release of retropie?

No I'm not seeing that I'm seeing a white box flicker over the console logos.

AlexMurphy

@RedBatman Okay. What theme are you running?

RedBatman

@AlexMurphy Zoid, Carbon, Turnakafan, pretty much any except for the comic book one.

AlexMurphy

@RedBatman Try increasing or decreasing the VRAM in the menu options. I had this and it sorted itself out after I increased the VRAM to 120. Try it from 70 - 130 in increments of 10, You will need to reboot after you change it each time.

RedBatman

@AlexMurphy well I set my VRAM to 200 and that seems sort of fixed it, I still get the white box but after I scroll through all of them once after I get out of a game the white box flicker goes away.
