1st Startup

arcademamepi

Hi all.
I just installed the image file on the SD card and started up. I am getting to a command line prompt with a message above it.

cannot open /home/pi/pimame/config/piplay-sound

no other errors are showing and if i type startx i get into the gui.

Is this from the setup and should I just re-flash or do i need to edit the config file?

flash file was the newest version.
Thanks for the help
Vin

The piplay-sound error is actually just a warning.
It sounds like the command to auto start your piplay did not get set for some reason. In command line, type
nano ~/.profile
make sure that something like this is present:

if [ -n "$SSH_CLIENT" ] || [ -n "$SSH_TTY" ]; then
   tput clear
  echo "Welcome to The Grid, User..."
else
 # sudo xboxdrv --silent --config /home/pi/pimame/config/xboxdrv_mapping.cfg --dbus session &
  cd /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/
  python launchmenu.py
fi

you obviously don't need to echo 'Welcome to the Grid, User...', I just have that because I have a tron themed arcade. That only shows up when you ssh into your pi anyway

Thanks guys. I entered the info above and when I types the command startx it took me to piplay. Only problem was as soon as I moved my mouse it crashed and restarted. (When restarted it still went to command line and I had to type startx (same thing happened).

I will re-download the image and try a fresh install.

Howdy, Stranger!
