SiberianSpForces Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Getting a boost:filesysyem error and it starts at one of the SNES folders. It crashes emustation and I can't type my way out of it. There are 3 more folders after that particular one and all 4 say permission denied when clicking on them while in Raspberian. From what I have tried to read up on, it looks like a permission issue where the directory is root:root and it needs to be pi:pi. I've tried the "sudo chown -hR pi:pi .emulationstation" but that says that path doesn't exsist. With the drive in, I can't delete those 4 folders, though I'll see what happens when the drive is not in it. Any help is appreciated!

mr_me Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) Are you in the right directory when running chown? Or add the complete path to emulationstation. Edited December 28, 2017 by mr_me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiberianSpForces Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Are you in the right directory when running chown? Or add the complete path to emulationstation. I would say no. I'd open the terminal in raspberian and type that command. It wouldn't do anything when I'd hit F4 while loading retropie. With the Fresh install, I should be able to get back to retropie's configuration and change the permissions to pi:pi. I'd like to just have my collection on a flash drive and have pie read that, instead of copying them to the card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiberianSpForces Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 I reflashed the SD card and then I changed the setting to read from the flash drive instead of copying to the SD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
