No HDMI output after install

[bszabo]

I've installed the latest Armbian Bookworm Cinnamon desktop image to the EMMC of the Banana Pi M5, but it does not display anything on the HDMI output after startup.

 

Here's what happens when I start the system:

 - Starts loading the kernel (I can see the startup messages)

 - Shows the "Armbian" loading screen (with the spinning icon)

 - Switches back to the startup messages for a bit

 - Shows a black screen with a single "_" in the top left corner

 - After a few seconds my screen says that there is "No Signal"

The Banana Pi still seems to be running, I can see the lights.

 

Any idea what happens and how to fix it?

 

FYI, this is how I installed it:

 - Flashed SD card with latest minimal armbian image

 - Boot from SD card

 - Mount USB with latest Armbian Bookworm Cinnamon desktop image on it

 - Install bpi-tools and copy new image to EMMC

 - Shutdown, remove SD card, and restart

Similar issue, except my device is a Le Potato.  Once I'm passed the login the screen stops sending HDMI output.  My monitor is a portable HDMI screen,

OP was not using official tools and Odroid N2 is different beast. If you need that the problem is found and fixes, you need to provide EVERYTHING. Whole procedure on what you did and provide all logs you can ...

Aah ohkay got it. I have a thread ongoing at my post and at github

 

I installed the latest Odroid armbian image as cli on a micro sd card. this card was in the odroid with their latest ubuntu image before flashing.

Because of driver support I switched to armbian. I  than enabled wifi with a wifi dongle and connected my 7" screen. I was able to see the boot sequence and cli and configure the rest before switching to ssh to control the odroid.

I Installed KIAUH a klipper installation tool. Its for 3d printing. And everything worked just like it did on the Ubuntu odroid image. But now when I wanted to install the visual 'plugin' the screen went to no signal after the boot sequence.

So I still see the boot sequence but after it the screen just turns itself off. SSH still works. the screen is still detected when using display detection commands. I couldn't see any errors or warnings in any logs I could find related to X graphics or the 'plugin' that I installed.

 

Is this enough information? and what logs would you want me to upload?

 

Thanks in advance
