Hi guys,
it seems that the lakka-menu disappears after updating to the April 5th nightly (Lakka-imx6.arm-devel-20150405225717-r20993-gf220555.tar) There’s just three options left and the it’s all black/white. Trying to go back to the previous nightly however doesn’t bring back the menu - it’s just extended to some other options (and I can select cores and pick content).
Am I doing something wrong here?
sounds like your assets are missing, either because they’re not there at all or because the ‘assets’ directory isn’t pointed at the right directory in your paths settings.
Hello, go in Settings->Drivers->Menu Driver and set “xmb” and restart RetroArch.
We removed Lakka menu from RetroArch, your config file says “lakka” but RetroArch could not find it anymore.
The menu is named “xmb” now.

Thankx a lot - worked fine!
Im having a problem with no menu, nothing in the menu has a name and the background is white. How do i fix this?
I’m having this problem too. Running from the thumb drive and this happens on everything I plug it into. I can see menu icons as they are light gray, but the text that tells me what they are is the same color as the background. Maybe if someone could tell me exactly what keystrokes to use to point things to the “xmb” menu it would fix the problem?
@Farcere, this means your path settings are not pointing anymore to the assets folder. Please reset your retroarch.cfg (stoping retroarch and removing that file should be enough).
It could also be a video driver issue, but if @Pufahl has the same problem with every computer he tried it, it can’t be that…
@kivutar - i seem to be having the same issue on a fresh install. How do I reset retroarch when I can’t access or read anything?
Idk if it would help, but is there any way to have it boot into rgui by default or with command line? Might run better on my machine anyway.
Just after the fresh install? Or after a reboot?
First time after a fresh install. I don’t have another pc to test on right now. I have also checked the file integrity before flashing, and I’ve tried the whole process over. I’m gonna try another reflash when I get a chance.
A fresh install is supposed to boot on xmb, not rgui. I’ve never noticed this bug before :o
No, it is booting into the xmb. I asked if there was a way I could get it to use rgui instead, maybe then I could edit settings and try to get it working. As it is I can’t do anything while booted up, other than hit esc to see a quick flash of the xmb properly before the white comes back, or get the search option to pop up.
----EDIT ---- After going through preparing to reinstall I think I might have installed the version linked to from the Lakka Get PC page (http://www.lakka.tv/get/ - http://sources.lakka.tv/nightly/Generic.i386/Lakka-Generic.i386-devel-20150529174328-r21027-g43f71a8.img.gz) so I’m going to retry the nightly build next chance I get. Sorry for this misunderstanding guys.
I am curious if this is a known issue with the build linked there, and if its a simple fix that could help me more than reinstalling. I currently have to use someone else’s pc to do a lot of this. Should I create a new thread or wait until I’m able to reflash?
You can edit your retroarch.cfg to replace the line: menu_driver = “xmb” with menu_driver = “rgui”

Thanks for the info mate 
I’ll be seeing what happens when I get a chance.
I have just tried this on 3 different devices (An old Dell D505 laptop, a Fit2PC mini PC and a newer Acer laptop). On the Fit2PC I couldn’t even get the installer to run, on the Dell I am displayed with the broken menu with white background and on the Acer it works. I downloaded the version from the main website not the nightly. Has the nightly resolved this issue?
I had the issue with the white background, making the menu impossible to navigate. I was able to fix it by changing the menu driver to glui.
Connect your Lakka Machine to your router Log into the router to find the Lakka Machines IP Address Connect via SSH to the Lakka machine (using pUTTY or other SSH client) The username:password for the root user on all Lakka machines is root:root Once connected via SSH enter the command “systemctl stop retroarch”, to stop the graphical server Open the config file with vi “vi .config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg” Navigate to the line “menu_driver = *****”, and change the value to “glui” Exit saving settings Restart the graphical server “systemctl start retroarch”
You should now be able to navigate the menu!
Any other way to fix missing xmb assets without reinstalling lakka. I dont want to lose all configurations. I can use glui for now, but all fonts are too small on a big screen when using glui.
Ive also ran into the menu being impossible to navigate too when I installed it. I cant quite grasp the concept of SSH on my macbook. Im looking for an alternative way.
