On July 30, 2025, the U.S. Executive Order “Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment For All Countries” came into effect. This removes the previous duty exemption for low-value packages and introduces new procedural requirements that are still being defined by U.S. Customs and the United States Postal Service. In response, DHL has announced a temporary halt to standard postal parcel shipments into the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Dismiss

Hi guys.
I’m new to the pi and to linux and could use a hand..
When I choose a video Splashscreen it runs fine but after the vid it pops back to the terminal screen, presumably to give me this error;
rm: cannot remove `/tmp/writable’: No such file or directory
..then goes on to the ES splash as normal.
It goes from any static Splashscreen directly to the ES Splash, but always shows the terminal and error briefly when I use a vid..
I have added a -f command to “rm /tmp/writable” in asplashscreen which is found in;
home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/splashscreen
I thought that might do it, but it didn’t…
Any ideas?
I’m on a pi2 running retropie 3.3 built from an image.
Also, I’m dual-booting Retropie and Rasbian with Berryboot and both OS’s are on a USB stick.
Cheers,
Radial
Well, I found a similar post on here and Herbs advice in it worked for me..
“……disable autostart and enable it”
Cool beans.
Please do not email me personally asking for help – if you don’t get a reply on the forum be patient – maybe no-one on the forum at the time had an answer.
There are 6000 users on the RetroPie forum. There are many thousands more using the software. it would be unreasonable to expect 1 on 1 support from me, where no-one else would benefit from an answer.
