Black screen after updates

Nov 14, 2024 1 Replies

I'm seeing a black screen after reboot following most but not all recent updates to bookworm on a Pi5. The strange thing is that rebooting from a somewhat older Bookworm microSD seems to permanently (until the next update!) fix the problem, allowing normal boot from a USB hard disk.



Meanwhile, both Chromium and Firefox have quit playing videos, remaining stuck at the loading screen but updating thumbnails if the progress slider is advanced.



Anybody else seeing this?

It looks like the latest update fixed both chromium and firefox. Videos play smoothly. Not sure what changed, as the update was to rpi-eeprom, but in any case videos are now viewable.
