ZeroJays Extra Scripts Problem
-
Hi, i tried to install zerojays extra scripts, so i did what the git page says
(git clone https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.git
cd RetroPie-Extra/
./install-extras.sh)
and then i went to the experiemental section to install chromium. and when it finished downloading i rebooted it and when that happened the splashscreen came and then the emulation station loading came for a split second and then the splash screen came on again and then it took me to the command line i got an error and it says
[Terminate called after throwing an instance of ´boost::filesystem::filesystem_error´
what(): boost::filesystem::status: Permission denied: "/root/RetroPie/roms/ports"
Aborted]
How do i fix this?[EDIT] I forgot to say that the keyboard doesnt work, when i press a button nothing happens onscreen

@mrmelon Most likely running as
rootsome part of the setup script messed up youres_systems.cfgconfig file.
Check the/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg- or/home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg- file, and see if the systems' paths have been modified from/home/pi/Retropie/Roms/[SYSTEM]to/root/RetroPie/[SYSTEM].
Modify the file and correct the paths, then just reboot to see if ES works afterwards. -
Im really sorry, but i forgot to write that i cant use the keyboard whenever i push a button nothing happens on the screen i'll add it to the original post...

@mrmelon Are you able to SSH into the PI? If you can please post the recent contents of
/home/pi/.bash_history. This shows all the commands entered into the shell. If we can see where you messed up it may make it easier to rectify.
Permissions on Linux can be a major headache. If you aren't too far into your set-up or have a back-up I would advise starting again. -
@jonnykesh Yea.. i do not have access to SSH whenever i try to connect via PUTTY i get this message [Network Error: Software caused connection abort] I enabled SSH in the settings before this happened but it never worked back then. so i kinda have no access to it.

@mrmelon There is no point in bumping your thread if you don't have any additional information to add. It's also considered bad form.

@jonnykesh sorry, But i need help, is there something i can do or should i just flash a new one.
