Hi, I am stuck. I updated my Gameshell through the Update option from the Settings menu. Now, it won’t boot. I forced shut down it and turned it back on; the logo appeared, it went black screen, and the the Booting message appeared but endlessly.
I have modified it to USB ETH. I can SSH to it, but don’t know how to fix it.
Please help!
Thanks in advence
what is your os version?
I am not sure as I cannot go into the launcher. But it is the version we got from the January 2019 shipment.
so go into ssh
ls /home/cpi
paste the results
Maybe resetting all the files from the launcher to the newest update could solve your problem in case some files are corrupted or more updated than others.
You could try this on ssh:
$ cd /home/cpi/launcher
$ ./update c4587c1
Lastly you could also try to flash a clean ClockworkOS image in your microSD card and try again.
./update.sh c4587c1
but update.sh is recently added
if the launcher is old
try
cd /home/cpi/launcher/
git pull
first
He could also do the whole procedure if he doesn’t have that specific file, just to be sure:
cd /home/cpi/launcher
git pull
git reset --hard c4587c1
git submodule init
git submodule update
./load.sh
Hi guu & doodom,
Thanks for the help. I tried all the step above, but when I ./load.sh i got this error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “run.py”, line 52, in
pygame.display.init()
pygame.error: Unable to open a console terminal
I think that error means that you have not any XServer running or that the system cannot find it.
Could you please run
export DISPLAY=:0
…before…
./load.sh
and tell us what happens?
Do you have the .xorg.conf and .xorg_lima.conf files in /home/cpi?
Hi doodom,
I run export DISPLAY=:0 before ./load.sh and got this (pardon my lengthy message):

And i cannot see .xorg.conf and/or .xorg_lima.conf in /home/cpi
Well, that’s a really weird error. Maybe a developer from Clockwork Pi could shed more light at this problem right now, but I think it’s somehow related to DBus or the bluetooth daemon.
You could simply flash the latest Clockwork OS image in your microSD. Just be sure to backup up every game and save data you have using WinSCP or any other SFTP client to that ease that proccess.
And those .xorg.conf files should be inside /home/cpi/launcher. Sorry, my bad for indicating you the wrong path. Use:
ls -la /home/cpi/launcher
to list all the files inside that folder including the hidden files (the ones starting with a dot in its name).
You could even try to run the other launcher from ssh and tell us what happens:
cd /home/cpi/launchergo
export DISPLAY:=0
./load
It could work since that launcher is based on Go instead of Python although I wouldn’t hold my breath for that.
the problem is your gs has no Bluetooth working on
your os image is v0.1 for sure
try to upgrade you os image
v0.21 would be ok
Hi guys, sorry for my late reply, and thank you very much for all you help! I finally updated my image to version 0.3, its working fine now. Thanks!
