Installed the Rex’s retropie img for the uconsole. It won’t boot to gui for some reason. Stuck on the command line. Tried the following commands on the cli.

```auto
sudo retropie-device uconsole

```

and then rebooted the device but no gui as of now.

I’m not a uConsole user, but it would be useful to people who could potentially help if you mentioned things such as whether you are using CM3, CM4, CM4 Lite, CM5, or CM5 Lite, what revision of the screen you have, etc.

I’m using the CM4 Lite no other modifications have been done on the device.

the retropie image is cm5 only iirc, you need to recompile some stuff to get it to work iirc
