how do you empty deleted files with MC
-
sorry had internet issues yesterday
and i did the remove the SSD and then i got the files again on the SD card... and then i just deleted them with the MC
and then re plugged back the SSD in and rebooted..always learning something new everyday
thank you for all the help (:
-
something else seems to be wrong??
used to boot up fastnow when i reboot or start up it hangs as the Emulation page.. saying Loading config files
it hangs for a couple mins before loading up
whats gone on?i did run sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh
from a ssh in figured running update of all fix it but didnt helpwhat causes it to load so slow now? used to be lighting fast... and transfering to the SSD is slow i shuld be getting 80-120mbs but i only get 20 megs sec copying... i know i had another page a while ago i did a manual edit instead of auto mount not sure if that matters also cant find my old post
as this is the 2nd nintendo retropie i built for someone else and its just not working right cant cant remember what i did last time.. but ya seems to be hanging at loading config files and slow copy transfers over the network
-
If you're using the NesPi 4 case, then it's probably this.
-
@mitu oh ok ya i remember that from someone posted in my last post i had issues earlier this year and since i doing 2nd one i have forgotten and couldnt find it.. and was also to do Manual mount instead of Automount as i found auto mounting unmounts the drive from this case..
ill do that and see if that fixes the speed and the loading config files at emulation i only noticed now because i have had it left on all this time but i was just rebooting it today and noticed it was not booting up fast anymore and then i did the update of retropie figure it was that... ill re due this one and try to find the manual mount too as i remember automount doesnt like it with this case if you do a reboot it will unmount the drive i noticed.. i guess its the usb to sata device the firmware in it or the chip that cause the issues i take it
-
@mitu im remember again
that trick doesnt work for the nespi 4 case
i remember it didnt work with the other one either..
aspi@retropie:~ $ sudo dmesg -C pi@retropie:~ $ sudo dmesg -C pi@retropie:~ $ dmesg pi@retropie:~ $it does nothing it doesnt display.. but the tricks that were done before fixed it i still cant find my old post like 6 months ago..
it doesnt display the log .. -
@mitu so i found my old post and was trying some of the commands but it isnt working the same now
then i made sure only 1 partition and fat32
i ran
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/and got my uuid
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 12 23:25 4A099D4A0F439B23 -> ../../sda1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Dec 12 23:25 8988cf8f-d459-476f-9a4a-16c56702dc40 -> ../../mmcblk0p2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Dec 12 23:25 C367-3F28 -> ../../mmcblk0p1so i edited the fstab and added for the sda1
UUID=4A099D4A0F439B23 /home/pi/RetroPie vfat rw,exec,uid=pi,gid=pi,umask=022 0
i chose that as that showed for Fat32 file system from
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/i rebooted and the root account is locked it says it wont boot up and i cant ssh in.. the other post the dmesg worked after using the tail command but this one isnt working
its also in emergency mode.. i tried pulling usb out and rebooting but still console is lockedlike
dmesg | grep usb-storage
is not workingso how do i fix or isa format to fix this issue?

@comet424 The
rootaccount does not have a password by default, so it's 'locked'. You can usesudowith thepiaccount and perform admin tasks.UUID=4A099D4A0F439B23 /home/pi/RetroPie vfat rw,exec,uid=pi,gid=pi,umask=022 0
the line is incomplete, it should have another number at the end.
If you've booted in emergency mode because of a bad
/etc/fstab, then you should boot in 'safe' mode by modifying/boot/cmdline.txtand addinginit=/bin/shat the end of the line present in the file. This should boot you to arootcommand line, where you can mount the root partition and repair the/etc/fstabfile. -
@mitu i thought i added the 2 after the last 0 from the linw now i cant remember
and i cant modify nothing raspberry pi booted into emgency mode on itself.. then talks about using jorurnal program
says root console acccess been locked..
tells you to look at slulogin(8)
tells me press enter
reloading system manager configuration
starting default targetthen just repeats the above cant get into anything
-
Assuming the problem is caused only by the erroneous
/etc/fstabentry, you can try fixing it by modifying the file on the Linux partition on the sdcard from a separate Linux system (if you have one) or maybe from Windows (using the Paragon Ext4 driver).If that doesn't work, maybe re-install from scratch.
-
@mitu ah ok
so i used my usb parted Magic program
edited the fstab file so ya i was missing that last 2so it booted and got back in had bunch of fails and RF kill switch failed multiple times
but it booted upi also remmed out the UUID and rebooted also pulled the ssd still gave errors
i ssh'd in and ran the retropi_setup and did the update it couldnt told me fetch_head is read only modeits amazing how just forgettng that 2 changes it mess's this up
so what did that last 2 do???
and guess the whole thing is in read only... so i gonna do fresh install and try the manual mount...
and try the uuid line again and add that 2 i didnt see -
-
@mitu so the man fstab means manual add file system? for the 2
so i tried again
UUID=4A099D4A0F439B23 /home/pi/RetroPie vfat rw,exec,uid=pi,gid=pi,umask=022 0 2added the extra 2... and yet again it corrupted soo many failed com errors etc
and then when i remmed it out using Parted Magic again it wouldnt boot upso i cant see what difference from my older post i had ntfs and 1tb drive but this is 250gb set for Fat32
the commands in old post
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/27809/ssd-doesnt-always-mount/29?_=1607815702974
dont seem to be working some areso should i keep the File system fat32? i have retropie-mount folder on the SSD
what should the manual fstab be since i redownloading retropie iso to the SD cardshould it be this
/home/pi/RetroPie vfat nofail,user,uid=pi,gid=pi 0 2not the
/home/pi/RetroPie vfat rw,exec,uid=pi,gid=pi,umask=022 0 2i did the 2nd one for getting maybe MSDos programs to run as i cant seem to get my Command and Conqurer to run on dosbox figured the option for the execuatble will fix it

@mitu
i seem to be having major issues trying to mount manually with the 250GB WD Blue drive i didn have this issue with the 1TB but i dont have that setup here i know the dmesg command didnt work right for it and doesnt work that well herebut for this 250GB SSD setup this is my setup
SSD formated Fat32
folder retropie-mount <all roms under it>i install retropie
<boots up and it fails the usb@.... mount> i forget what it says rest go Green "OK"
i configure joypad
i install dosbox and vice
i add SSH
i add the sambai ssh in
and runpi@retropie:~ $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 13 15:03 4A099D4A0F439B23 -> ../../sda1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Dec 13 15:03 AC15-4763 -> ../../mmcblk0p1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Dec 13 15:03 f1351d7a-72a6-4d65-b1e2-62653795df48 -> ../../mmcblk0p2i then

then i save
then i did the run raspi-config and goto configurartions and disble the usb mount service
and reboot.. it boots up but still slow.. and now i cant remember while typing this if it mounted the roms i dont think so i think only mounted priper me editig the fstab..this last time i did from the manual mount documentation
sudo mv -v /home/pi/RetroPie/* /media/usb0/i then run the raspi config and goto configurations and disable the usb mount service
i then rebooted
it still fails the "usb@mount... whatever it says" but i turned off automount
when it boots up it tells me there is no emulation goto the website and goes to the command promptis this because i formated in fat32? when i did the other setup it was a NFTS but i remember you guys saying and documentation Fat32 is better.. but is fat32 the issue with Western Digital? i havent had this much problems before and this time i was trying to do it the proper way Fat32 but been having issues is it WD on the black list? and maybe i need to format NTFS and i forget when you manualy mount usb do you scrap the retropie-mount folder and just post everything in the root of the drive
just cant figure whats going on..
-
I don't think FAT32 vs. NTFS is the issue. Both should work as well, FAT32 being better supported by Linux natively at this time.
i then run the raspi config and goto configurations and disable the usb mount service
The usbromservice is not configured in
raspi-config, it's a RetroPie addition, did you disable it from RetroPie-Setup ?i then rebooted
it still fails the "usb@mount... whatever it says" but i turned off automountwhen it boots up it tells me there is no emulation goto the website and goes to the command prompt
Run
mountand post the output - is the disk mounted on/home/pi/RetroPie? -
@mitu sorry with my dislexia i forget .. and betwween raspiconfig and the retrosetup i mix them up
and thats what i ment when i mentioned i disabled usb mount service under raspi confg i ment i disabled it under the retrosetup and then i rebooted
what fails is theusbmount@dev... something something
and then posts
so with the error shows there is no system
check that your paths are correct in the systems
configuration file, and your game directory has at least
one game with the correct extensionsvisit emulationstartion.org
thats what i got after i did the mv in the documentation i posted
as for the disk mounted i not sure but here is the outputpi@retropie:~ $ mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime) devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=1801484k,nr_inodes=97927,mode=755) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,mode=755) tmpfs on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=5120k) tmpfs on /sys/fs/cgroup type tmpfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=755) cgroup2 on /sys/fs/cgroup/unified type cgroup2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,xattr,name=systemd) none on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,mode=700) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpu,cpuacct) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,blkio) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,freezer) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/devices type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,devices) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/pids type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,pids) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls,net_prio type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,net_cls,net_prio) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpuset) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,perf_event) systemd-1 on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=30,pgrp=1,timeout=0,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct) sunrpc on /run/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw,relatime) mqueue on /dev/mqueue type mqueue (rw,relatime) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime) configfs on /sys/kernel/config type configfs (rw,relatime) /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /boot type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro) tmpfs on /run/user/1000 type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=386716k,mode=700,uid=1000,gid=1000) pi@retropie:~ $ -
The
mountoutput doesn't show the external disc being mounted, that's why EmulationStation doesn't start - the ROM folders are not present.If you run
mount -afrom the command line, what's the output ? Do you get an error from the system while trying to mount the external disc ? -
@mitu
wonder where the mount files went to then?
the emulationstation error had come up after i typedsudo mv -v /home/pi/RetroPie/* /media/usb0/as i was following the manual steps
so i dunno where files are unless i guess plug into the computer?as for the mount error
pi@retropie:~ $ mount -a mount: only root can use "--all" option pi@retropie:~ $ mount --all mount: only root can use "--all" option pi@retropie:~ $as for the error trying to mount the external disc i dunno? i only see that error of the usb@mount when you first turn on the raspberry pi and retropie is booting up doing its {OK] checks and that one fails or when i do a reboot

In
/media/usb0, where you moved them.i guess i need to move the files? to a retropie-mount maybe
You already moved the files, but
/media/usb0should be the mountpoint for your USB drive.retropie-mountis the location when you're using the automatic method, you say you're using the manual method and you've disabled theusbromservicemodule.Did you mount the USB drive - to
/media/usb0- before moving the files from/home/pi/RetroPie? Otherwise, even if the USB disc would work with your/etc/fstab, the drive would be empty.
