      Hi, I have a Raspberry Pi Zero, Retropie 3.8.1. I updated the script, updated all installed packages and updated optional packages. Now when I open any of the items in the Retropie Menu it asks for a login and password and goes straight to the terminal. How do I get the GUI menu back? Here are some pics.

            Hi, you can use the info in this link to change the font size (see below). Fortunately for me, that did the trick. but every time I changed something, it would go back to always booting to the command line. I finally had it and just reloaded a fresh image. Good luck.

                I reinstalled everything using a new image, but here's the output you requested.

                pi@retropie:~ $ cat /boot/cmdline.txt
                dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet loglevel=3 console plymouth.enable=0eed=1

                  did it really have plymouth.enable=0eed=1 in it or is that a copy and paste issue ? it should have plymouth.enable=0 but not the part after.

                    Looks like it... Is that bad?

                      @chanh55 yes. Remove the eed=1 part
