Ubuntu - After update, emulationstation is gone!
-
Hi everyone!!
Retropie was runnig fine, i was playing as a maniac and yesterday I decided to update using retropie's menu and now when I start the emulationstation, the program loads and when you chose any emulator, it closes and it shows a message on terminal:
emulationstation: /home/marcus/retropie-setup/tmp/build/emulationstation/es-core/src/resources/Font.cpp:129: static UnicodeChar Font::readUnicodeChar(const string&, std::size_t&): Assertion `(c & 0xC0) != 0x80' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)Can someone help me, please?
Thanks in advance.

why not reinstall retropie again.? maybe take less than find a solution.
-
I already tried, that was my first attempt, and I still have the same issue.
-
+1 something is is broken, i get the same error.

@Gyges_of_Lydia Problem solved. The uninstall of retropie is not enough, so you have to delete some files before you install it again. search for all files on /opt/.emulationstation and after you remove it, try to reinstall again. It worked for me!
-
@Sheef I have the exact same problem, but i have uninstalled retropie and delete everithing from home/.emulationstation and the error is there anyways.
Can you tell me exactly what you do to make it work... ?
-
@knewlife he said /opt/.emulationstation/ not/home/.emulationstation/ Try searching for that.

I've got the same problem here with Ubuntu 17.04...
When you run the retropie_setup script and do a full uninstall there is no /opt/.emulationstation folder at all - it's deleted with the uninstall script.
I then reinstall fresh again, load up EmulationStation and then configure the joystick. Then try go into a system it crashes with that error:
/retropie-setup/tmp/build/emulationstation/es-core/src/resources/Font.cpp:129: static UnicodeChar Font::readUnicodeChar(const string&, std::size_t&): Assertion `(c & 0xC0) != 0x80' failed.

It's a known issue. No fully tested fix yet.

/opt/.emulationstation/
No /opt/.emulationstation/ for me...
I have to compile Emulationstation 2.5.2 and it works fine now.
I create a fork, revert to Emulationstation 2.5.2 and modify the Retropie Setup emulationstation script to point to the new repository https://github.com/knewlife/EmulationStation -
@buzz ok. Good to know. I dont have ubuntu version so i was just repeating what op said.

Do others still have this with 4.3? I updated from 4.2.[something] (the version where Emulation Station's splash screen changed to black and Emulation Station gained support for video previews) on an RPi3, but still have this crash. I even rebuilt ES by source through the retropie_setup.sh interface.
I am using the selph scraper to fetch video previews, and as a part of that the "images" folder and the gamelist.xml file are now instde of each of the rom folders instead of under ~/.emulationstation. Has anyone else had this issue with the same situation? I might try nuking all of the scraped info to see if that improves stability.
@BuZz, is there a ticket out on this issue that we can follow?
