Retro Arch on Dell e7250, black screen
-
The laptop was running NES, SNES & N64 fine until I added a 8bitdo SN30 Gamepad.
OS Linux Mint, latest installed today. All updates applied
Dell e7250, i5, 16 gigs ram, 250 gig m2 drive, intel 3000 videoRemoving retro arch with the "sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove retroarch" and re-installing did not seam to make it reset. Removed controller prior to re-installation.
Any idea's? Many Thanks for your help!

@300cpilot Are you running RetroPie or just RetroArch ? This forum is dedicated to the RetroPie project, which uses RetroArch underneath, but it's not the official RetroArch support forum (forums.libretro.com).
One thing I've seen RA forums advise on errors - remove your.cfgfile and start anew when it doesn't load after an upgrade. -
Yea Thanks just noticed this was retropi. I do have this running on a Pi 3B just fine. I will head over there.
Sorry. -
first think I clicked on in the link had the solution. Purge did not actually remove the config files like I thought. Thanks again.
rm ~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg is what fixed it. -
@300cpilot Purge would remove the system's config files, not any user configuration files - that's a rule for all packages. Glad you got it fixed.
