    I’m reinstalling from binaries/sources rather than using the image in order to move over to BerryBoot, and I’ve run into a problem.

    I have “start EmulationStation on boot” turned on from the setup script, but it’s failing to start. When the system logs in, it returns an error reading:

    lvl0:   Error initializing SDL!
    

    Unable to open mouse!

    Are you in the 'video, audio, and input groups? Is X closed? Is your firmware 
    

    up to data? Are you using at least the 192/64 memory split?
    `Error initializing rendererer!

    Of course I checked that I was in all the stated groups and all that. I also checked that “export SDL_NOMOUSE=1 is set in my .bashrc file. I’m not sure what else is happening here.

    I can launch EmulationStation perfectly normally from the command line once the system has finished booting up.

    Any ideas?

    Oops. Messed up my tags there.

    Maybe you are also facing the same issue as described at https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/175.
