Official Raspberry Pi Respin

[Be OK]

@ dolphin_oracle and @Jerry3904 One more THANKS for all the time and effort you spend on it.

[Jerry3904]

Thanks for the thanks!

Updated LiveLogo not working on MX RPi

--has always worked without problem
--ran the update
--rebooted, nothing but black
--installed mx-boot-options (@dolphin_oracle we don't supply that by default?)
--selected the theme but: "plymouth not installed"
--installed plymouth, could see preview OK
--rebooted a couple of times, nothing but black

if plymouth wan't installed, you got something else going on, because its preinstalled on the RPI spin.

I tested on the latest release, on a Pi400. worked OK. I suppose there could be some other issue on the Pi 5, which uses a different kernel.

mx-boot-options is not appropriate for the pi, as the pi does not use grub.

[Jerry3904]

Hmmm

if plymouth wan't installed, you got something else going on, because its preinstalled on the RPI spin.

Since I have always seen the LiveLogo function, it was clearly installed up until I did the upgrade--but apt history does not show any removals.

mx-boot-options is not appropriate for the pi, as the pi does not use grub.

True, but what's left does make it easy to change the splash.

[dolphin_oracle]

Could have been missing a tool that boot options used for the preview.

I don’t have a pi5 but you could try updating the initramfs again. On all kernels.


update-initramfs -u -k all

Same black hole. Here's the most recent boot log:

BTW: if this is just my system then we'll just let this go.

I will reinstall since nothing on it is critical.

could be 5 graphics playing up in a way that doesn't show up on the 4. @CharlesV I don't really know what the changes were to the theme. only MXLiveLogo and MXImagine are different though. the other themes are all the same as always were, so you could try those.

It's possible the systemd automount of the binfmt_misc filesystem got disabled somehow. binfmt_misc is responsible for letting commands being run in a shell that are not elf executables and it looks like the plymouth service can't start because it needs that functionality.
Try

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl enable proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount
