      /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh No such file or directory.
      This message pops up whenever I power on the system and I can't find any autostart file in the file manager.
      Any ideas how to get it back because it has been working well up to this point.
      Thanks

        You mean until you deleted it , as you reported in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19365/booting-to-command-line ?

            Because you deleted it - the same action that prompted the problems in the previous topic you opened.

            Re-create the file from scratch, it should contain only one line:

            emulationstation #auto
            

            Then make the file executable by executing

            chmod +x /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh
            

            Btw, it would have been nice to provide an answer in your previous topic, just to know if any of the advices given have been helpful.
