            @blazein said in First boot up of retropie comes up with a command line.:

            i tried everything

            What does 'everything' mean ? This is what I've asked. This question is already answered in several topics in the forum:

            • https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18582/auto-login-not-working/
            • https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18591/asking-for-retropie-login-on-boot-after-update

            Have you tried any of the solutions posted in those topics ?

                  @blazein Did you login first ? Username is pi, password is raspberry.

                        OK, so if you're at the command prompt, then run sudo raspi-config and you'll be presented with a menu, where you can follow the instructions from the topics I mentioned and re-enable auto-login.
                        What happens if you type sudo raspi-config and press enter after you login ?

                                @blazein Then you may have a different problem. The way RetroPie configures auto-login is exactly how you set it up in raspi-config, so if it doesn't work now then there's another problem at stake.

                                            @blazein It means your Emulationstation crashed - so probably auto-login works now.
