What kind of error did you get trying to install the launcher?

Were you able to ssh into the GameShell before the error?  
You should be able to login even though no launcher is able to run in that case. (wi-fi is enabled and auto-connects anyway)

When the GameShell is stuck in that screen it usually means the launcher is failing to be executed. There should be no risk of the device being dead.

Maybe, waiting a bit for the GameShell to auto-connect to Wi-Fi, you will be able to ssh again.

The file that the installation procedure modify is `/home/cpi/.bashrc`  
To come back to the previous launcher you just have to change the occurrences of the string “godot-launcher” to just “launcher”.

There are two near the end of the file:

```auto
if [-f ~/launcher/.cpirc]; then
   . ~/launcher/.cpirc
fi

```

Just to be sure, which version of the GameShell do you have? The 512MB or 1GB of ram version?

The new launcher you tried to install has issues with the lima driver on the 512MB version.  
Apart from that I’m also curious what error it gave you previously trying to install it.

Mhh very weird, there seems to be no error but this error popup is shown nevertheless.  
How are you executing the command? I use powershell (or cmd.exe) to connect via ssh and I type commands there.  
This kind of popups can’t appear this way.

I’m using WinSCP, mainly because its easier for me to use, it has a built in CMD window

It may have some issues cloning the repository because some files have properties and attributes a Windows OS can’t read (e.g. executable bits), so they may be cloned incorrectly to the GameShell then.

I suggest trying to install the launcher via powershell or cmd.exe directly.
