EmulationStation crashes

[jmanricecakes]

Hello everyone! I have been running RetroPie 4.2 on Linux Mint 18.1 for some time now with no issues. Yesterday I went to update it through my usual procedure and after I updated I get the following when trying to start emulationstation:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
  what():  basic_string::_M_construct null not valid
Aborted

I tried all of kinds of things, checking controller configurations, resetting config files, I even did a clean install of RetroPie... Nothing has worked. Please help me bring back my game system! :D

Thanks so much, and this is an awesome community where I have learned so much!

Oy. Nevermind. Had nothing to do with RetroPie!

For others, my case was a kernal driver issue with NVidia that was causing the OpenGL library to be unable to render the window properly. When I updated RetroPie, the kernel was updated and I had some older NVidia drivers that didn't get updated. All fixed now.

Thanks anyway, and maybe my post will help someone else?! LOL :D

@jmanricecakes Hello. How do you fixed your drivers going where?
