I’m able to launch my gameshell but I can’t get past the Welcome to clockworkPi screen. I’ve tried launching multiple times and just waiting on the screen but it just goes to black screen. Additionally, if I press any buttons then I enter characters like “j”, “j”, “u”, “i”, “^[[A’”…
Has anyone experienced this issue? Does any know of a solution?
Apologies if this has already been posted but I couldn’t seem to find the solution in the forums.
Thanks.
it seems the X of gameshell could not be started
try ssh into GameShell
and run
cat /tmp/x.log
to see what’s going on
and maybe provide the os version of your gameshell
like v0.1,v0.2, v0.3
@guu Below is what was returned from that command when I connected to the gameshell via usb on my Windows machine and did ssh.

what is the version of your os image?
According to another forum post, gameshell devices that were recently shipped are OS version 0.23. I just received mine on Monday from the pre-order in December '18. @guu should I try reflashing the OS as I’ve seen suggested? I only see v0.21 as the latest stable release to use.
true
v0.21 is stable
because the latest image v0.3 use opensource GPU driver Lima
which is not yet stable
but you can Give it a try, it would be fun
I have reflashed the sd card with v0.21 that came with the Gameshell. All is well now and I’m able to successfully start up to the menu. Thanks @guu for the support.
