Emulationstation won't start anymore

[Meneer Jansen]

Rebooted my Pi and emulationstation crashes (and hangs my Pi). Tried to run /opt/retropie/supplentary/emulationstation/emulationstation but I get the following error:

terminate called after throwing instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): std:bad_alloc Aborted

Am I f*cked?

Ooops. I've put a new logo/picture in a theme dir. But it did not have the proper rights. Changed the rights and it works again.

I'm glad you got it sorted out :)

Do you mind explaining more about what your fix was. I have tried to change permissions on the es theme directory without success and continue to get this error. Thanks!
