Error after Update setup Script

NelloHD

OK thanks:
I went out with the command :sudo reboot

but if I try to get into the Retropie Setup then the same error always happens ...

NelloHD

cd RetroPie-Setup
git reset --hard

after these what command should I execute?

@NelloHD Your error is not related to git, but the the fact that your OS installation (Raspbian Jessie ) is too old and installing packages from it is no longer working. I think RetroPie-Setup already warns you about it.

If you wish to get updates, then you'll have to upgrade your OS by installing the latest RetroPie image (4.8). You can save/backup your current data (BIOS/ROMS/configs) and restore them on the new installed image.
You can backup your entire sdcard/install with Option 1, just in case.

@mitu thank you, as soon as my children leave me for a moment, I will try to do it.

hmmmm it's complaining about not found ip, isn't that a network issue ?

mitu

@barbudreadmon No, it's the packages that are not found (404 returned by the web server), since jessie has been archived and the packages are not available at the URL where apt expects them to be. The fact the there's an IP means DNS is working, plus git has managed to update RetroPie-Setup (the commit in the first post is the latest one in repo, so git pull worked).

NelloHD

But could I try to get the installation working again without updating anything?

A settings reset there is no way to do it?

Settings have nothing to do with the RetroPie version. You can revert to an earlier version (not with git reset though). Which version did you have before attempting the update ?

@mitu
I honestly don't understand where to check the version.

how do i restore?

You can check the log file produced during the update, it should be one of the log files in $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs. Find the file (they're time-stamped) and you can view it with zless $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs/<filename>.gz

how do i restore?

You can checkout a specific - major - version with

cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup
git checkout <version>

You can also rewind to a specific commit in time with

cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup
git checkout <commit-id>

but you need to know the commit-id.
