      When I start up after the retropie screen where it normally would go to the ES Screen it sends me to the command line with the error * failed to open vchiq instance is at the top of the command line after boot up. I'm running a pi3 and I updated retropie to the newest version. Im very new to this so any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

                It was working fine the last time I used it. Shut it down as normal now when I start it up it goes right to the command prompt with this error.
