Joan Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 I've been having a rather odd issue with an entirely pink screen upon cold boot. I tried with Raspbian and it didn't occur there. This has actually prevented me from using the device at all now. When I first set it up, I was able to Ctrl C the setup stuff and type in reboot. When it rebooted, I was able to use it again. However, last night the Wifi completely died. I tried everything to revive it but it kept asking for the password repeatedly. Tried different networks, no luck. Figured power cycling might help. Bad idea. Now I can't SSH in to type in reboot, and I'm now permanently stuck on a pink screen. Doesn't matter if I replug the HDMI, use different monitors, etc. If there's a way to reboot without unplugging, that would be a good temporary fix.. but I'm a bit stuck. Using Armbian 5.35 OPi Lite Ubuntu Xenial Desktop 3.4.113 (latest I believe)
Joan Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 I think I found the cause of the issue. I've got this hooked up to a spare monitor which has VGA and DVI inputs. I only have an HDMI > VGA adapter. The -d flag on h3disp is for DVI, not for VGA. When I did the -d flag previously, I get a rather odd color palette. So, to fix it, I have to cold boot while connected directly to an HDMI monitor. After it's booted, I can switch over to the adapter. Rather odd, but now Wifi works again and I can use the thing! Should I create another issue if the Wifi anomaly occurs again?
