What stops the update retropie script???

[joelf]

I don't need help updating retropie. I just need to shut the update script off!

I tried to update retropie, and it failed because I have an old version, and it was having trouble getting certs. I noticed the update script kept re-running.

I've rebooted the system, and renamed the update bash file and package file in ~\RetroPie-Setup\ thinking that might kick it into failing, and quitting.

For whatever reason, the script keeps getting called, and I can't seem to stop it. All the settings are now inaccessible because as soon as the terminal opens, I get:

"sudo:  /home/ect./etc./packages.sh: file not found"

How do I tell this thing to stop trying to update?!?

The setup script will automatically try to download missing packages if they're not present, so deleting packages.sh will not help. The 'update' you're experiencing is built-in the setup script.

If you know which version you had before the update, just rewind the RetroPie-Setup script at that version using git.

cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup
git fetch --tags
# print the release tags
git tag
# Checkout a specific version
git checkout <tag>
