Update Failed {SOLVED}

[Addison]

Raspberry Pi 4 version 4.8.4.

cd RetroPie-Setup
git reset --hard

HEAD is now at 5fceb82e Merge pull request #3734 from cmitu/scraper-fix-dep2

sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

I goofed around some with adding new repos though I don't think they ever took for some reason.

I'm sure I messed up something bigly on this.

Any help? :)

Thought I had a fix with a reboot, but that was for a different Pi 4 I already upgraded.

I have two of them here at home.

Still hoping for a solution if anyone has an idea for me to try.

I was able to update all main and optional packages.

Only thing is that it continues to be stuck on version 4.8.4.

Probably doesn't matter much, but it would be nice to have that updated as well.

@Addison it looks like you did RP-Extra's "update from the old ZeroJay's repo", but you did it from inside RP-Setup instead RP-Extra. Can you do a:

git remote -v

...from inside the Setup (not Extra) directory? If as I suspect it says https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra, you should be able to fix it with:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup

@sleve_mcdichael

pi@retropie:~ $ git remote -v
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
pi@retropie:~ $ cd RetroPie-Setup
pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Setup $ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra (push)

• git remote set-url origin https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup

• sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

After this I was able to upgrade to version 4.8.5.

Feels good to have the Pi fully current once again.

Thanks!

You should probably re-clone the Setup folder from scratch and re-add the extra repository in the ext folder, to prevent any future issues.

@mitu

I would need something to copy and paste to the command line for that.

I have no idea what I previously did wrong before nor how it was nicely resolved.

All I can do is try and follow directions from others here.

@Addison said in Update Failed {SOLVED}:

I would need something to copy and paste to the command line for that.

Move the existing setup folder out of the way, then clone the latest setup version

cd
mv RetroPie-Setup RetroPie-Setup.old
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git

You can then follow the installation instructions for @ExarKunIv's extra repository.
