#HOW TO INSTALL RETROPIE AFTER INSTALLING RASPBIAN FULL#
Here's the full log I get from startx (.local/share/org/Xorg.log.0): I tried launching it from the ports by launching "Desktop" in ES, and no dice. I'm pretty sure I changed nothing in my config files (then again, I could be wrong).

Same result (though through ssh it says "no screen found", which is understandable). I tried launching it both from the Pi directly and from ssh, and both with and without an HDMI monitor connected. It worked the first time right away after installing it (when doing sudo startx from the terminal), but after a reboot, the desktop stopped working. If this is the case, I feel that these things should be addressed in the github FAQ where it says "where did the desktop go?" as newer users such as myself think they're getting a desktop with normal Hello, sorry for the bump! Like I said, I've flashed fresh images of RetroPie, updated the setup script, and installed Pixel normally, and these "problems" persist.īasically what I've understood is if you want to use the official RetroPie image, installing Pixel will give you very basic functionality like web browsing and that's pretty much it unless you install additional programs. This just seems to be a RetroPie thing, and I'm surprised I can't find any documentation or anybody else having the same problem.Īs far as the Trashcan not working, I'm unsure, but I can only assume it's also has something to to do with how Raspbian is built and configured for RetroPie. While in Pixel, typing "tail -f /var/log/messages" into the terminal and plugging in a USB device, I can see in real time that it's getting automounted, and trying to transfer roms to RetroPie.Īlthough, it's not mounted in the usual way, so nothing pops up in Pixel, and it acts as if there's no USB drive and I have to type extra commands (sudo mount, sudo umount, etc) to get it to mount to /media/usb as it should if I had regular full Raspbian with Pixel. RetroPie has a proprietary method for mounting the USB for itself to transfer roms and saves. It's like a one-stop-shop for setting up an OS on your Pi.Just an update, I haven't gotten these things to work, but I think I figured something out. NOOBS saves you the trouble of tracking down individual OS packages online.
#HOW TO INSTALL RETROPIE AFTER INSTALLING RASPBIAN DOWNLOAD#
You can use the NOOBS program to choose an OS, download additional ones from the internet, and install them directly onto your Pi. When you load the SD card on your Raspberry Pi, an interface loads with a selection of Operating Systems.

#HOW TO INSTALL RETROPIE AFTER INSTALLING RASPBIAN SOFTWARE#
The NOOBS software package is downloaded onto your computer and installed onto a MicroSD card. NOOBS is an acronym for New Out Of the Box Software. You can also use it to download additional OS images from the internet. It comes pre-loaded with operating systems that can run on the Raspberry Pi. NOOBS is an OS installation program created by Raspberry Pi. One easy way to get an OS loaded on your Raspberry Pi is to use NOOBS. So you've got a fresh Raspberry Pi.where do you start? First things first-you'll need an operating system.
