Pixel removal and reinstall
-
Hello very new to the raspberry pi and am lost as to how to remove and reinstall pixel desktop from my raspberry pi 3 model B running retropie 4.4 i believe. During my first install it was interrupted and now the destop will not launch from ports it just returns to ports section when i launch wit the startx command it trys to launch and says it cannot because there are files missing so i believe i need to reinstall but when i just try to install again it says its already installed
-
@kevthew You can install it again from the RetroPie-Setup menus, if it hasn't completed the installation will try to continue the installation and add the entry to the Ports system.

@mitu. Thank you for you fast response i am trying that now but is says. Something was interrupted and to configure something to fix i cant read it it goes very fast
-
Exit Emulationstation and you'll be dropped to the command prompt. Execute
sudo apt -y -f installand see if the installation finishes.
-
@mitu it says dpkg was interrupted ypu mist normally run sudo dpkg --configure - a to correct the problem. Should i try that command.
Sorry i cant figure out how to make those boxes with the error in them on here
-
@mitu excuse me manully run
-
@kevthew OK. so run the command it tells you to run (
sudo dpkg --configure -a) and then again try installing the desktop from the RetroPie-Setup script. -
@mitu its reinstalling now thanks so much for your help i love the rasperry pi and am having a blast learning this
