Hi. I have Raspberry Pi 3 B. Yesterday I instaled RetroPie. In terminal I wrote emulstation, and I got information like this " you must logout x server". What should I do?
Can you help me?
Re: x server
X server runs the GUI.
Ren: Now listen, Cadet. I've got a job for you. See this button? Ren: Don't touch it! It's the History Eraser button, you fool! Stimpy: So what'll happen? Ren: That's just it. We don't know. Maybe something bad, maybe something good.

Re: x server
Use sudo raspi-config to set your boot option (option 3 from the main menu). Choose " B2 Console Autologin Text console, automatically logged in as 'pi' user". That gets you a command line, you can use startx to get it started if you need the GUI.
Note: Any requirement to use a crystal ball or mind reading will result in me ignoring your question.

Re: x server
No exactly. I logged and I wrote in terminal ,,emulationstation'' and I got information ,, X is runing. Please shut down X in order to mitigate problem with losing keyboard imput. For example, logout from LXDE. This is my problem.

Re: x server
If you're running Raspbian, click on the Raspberry Menu in the (left hand corner), choose Raspberry Pi Configuration, on the first tab System, change the radio button to CLI (from to Desktop). When you logout now you will drop to command line (If you log out with the to Desktop option xserver is still running)
Now type emulationstation.
Now type emulationstation.

Thank's you. You are great! Now is working. Topic can be end
Re: x server
Great!
When you quit emulationstation and go back to the command prompt, type startx to restart the GUI.
