Loss of HDMI Monitor after apt upgrade on OpiPcPlus

[gnasch]

After a long time of happyness I got careless and did an apt-get upgrade on one of the OrangePiPcPlus, and I my

Eizo FlexScan S1921 Monitor does not sync anymore.

I need a Resolution of 1280*1024 at 60 Hz with a pll_video of 432 Mhz.

I tried to reselect -m33 on h3disp but this did not change anything.

Is h3disp even supported anymore? Have there been changes to the legacy kernel or the

way resolution is selected?

Nope, no changes. Check if your script.bin is changed after running tools. Perhaps sunxi-tools package is somehow missing. Reported change tells nothing. We would know more if you used our tool for reporting: armbianmonitor -u

Thanks @Igor,

yes the problem is with script.bin. When using h3disp a script.bin with current date/time is placed in /boot which results in blank page.

when I copy /boot/bin/orangepipcplus from Sep 2 2017, with 36568 bytes from the *not updated* opipcplus over it, then I have a correct image.

 

However there is another problems, independent of script.bin:

  There is an empty /etc/resolv.conf so that no names are resolved on internet. I have to call dhclient by hand, which produces a valid resolv.conf

 Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)

Here is my armbianmonitor -u

and here is something very strange: the update went through without errors but:

root@JagOpi:/var/lib/rpimonitor# armbianmonitor -v
Starting package integrity check. This might take some time. Be patient please...

It appears you may have corrupt packages.

This is usually a symptom of filesystem corruption caused by SD cards or eMMC
dying or burning the OS image to the installation media went wrong.

The following changes from packaged state files were detected:
