      Hello,

      I installed a fresh image of RetroPie on my Raspberry Pi 2. Then, i went to RetroPie Setup > Configuration / Tools > raspbiantools > Install PiXel desktop enviroment. After it was installed, i rebooted my Pi, and tried launching LXDE from Ports section. When i selected it, it showed "Launching LXDE" for about 15 seconds, then wen't back to EmulationStation. The thing is, when i close EmulationStation with F4, then write 'startx', it starts up just fine. I tried editing the Desktop.sh file by commenting all lines out and putting 'startx' at the end, but then i get errors about /dev/tty0 and 'permission denied'. Can somebody help?
