Reply To: Issues with starting EmulationStation

[shyo]

So .. its still happening. I have no clue what causes it – if I delete/reset my es_systems.cfg, it works just fine, until the next reboot.

this is the content of my es_log.txt :

lvl2:   Created surface successfully!
lvl1:   Could not find unconfigured joystick named "Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller"! Skipping it.

this of my es_systems.cfg:

its always from the same USB stick – is there a different/better way to load roms from an USB stick that might not cause these problems?

edit:
reformatted usb, rebuild the entire image + retropie from scratch, still, same problems. after editing es_systems.cfg, it will only boot the first time and lock up every subsequent attempt (until es_systems.cfg gets reset)

edit2:

so .. im at a total loss here. basically, if I change permissions for /media/usb/roms in the desktop environment, log out, start es, everything works fine. but i cant seem to figure out how to make this a permanent change

edit3:

in case anyone ever runs in the same problem, I fixed it – created a specific mounting point with default permissions in /etc/fstab.
