      Thanks for the response. My install is new (2 days old), based on the posted RC1 image. I'm confident I haven't executed any chown commands manually, (meaning: I'm sure it wasn't end user generated ;) ). If I notice the issue reoccur, I'll try and note what across or options i executed. The only stuff I'd done was via the setup script previously, including a script update and a packages update (both raspian and RetroPie). I could enable some auditing via auditd or shell history/trap profile.d scripting and try and capture how it occurred if it crops up again.

      Cheers

        Did you launch retropie-setup script manually at all ? eg from a root shell. If it was run from root account rather than via sudo it could mess with the permissions for example. I should put some protection in against this perhaps.

        Can't see anything in the code that would cause it currently (had a quick grep). But it's possible there is a bug somewhere (there are always bugs!) :)

          Hello.
          I had trouble installing my garsia controller. I searched a bit and found the error on the line 69 in ps3controlle.sh. I left the line 69 + 75 commented and then I was able to install it. I think that after installing the drive ps3 the file "sixad" was created or already existed.
          Regards

            Hi @BuZz,

            No, I didn't su to root and run it from there, only via sudo. Probably a good idea to add some [ id -u != pi ] test as you mentioned. Anyway. I'll definitely keep an eye out and help isolate it if I can.

            EDIT. I just checked, /opt/retropie/config/all is owned by root again!.

              Strikes again!

              Note that /opt/retropie/config/all is owned by root again, and just one file in the all directory:

                  Aah autoconf. Hmm I'll check. Please can you update RetroPie-Setup and all packages first though.

                      I'm having trouble with the new setup scrip and PS3 clones. It seems the setup script installs the genuine version. When you go back to configure clone support, the screen flashes quickly but nothing really happens. My clones don't work with 4.0-rc1 but do work with 3.8.1. Also, removing the driver seems to hang.
