[PROBLEM] No more display after in-place update

[romain]

@romain 

You gave no details of your setup so we're pretty much in the dark here. Physical details (like what kind of display are you using), software settings (like moodeutl -s output), all grist for our mill when we're trying to diagnose problems remotely.

In my case, I just brought up a fresh moOde 8.3.5 player (64-bit) on an RPi3B+ which has an official Raspberry Pi 7" Screen installed. The local display was set "on"; the mouse cursor was set "off"; the popup keyboard (aka on-screen keyboard or OSK)  was set "on". Result: local display works fine.

Then I did an in-place software update to 8.3.6.

When the dust had settled, I saw the same thing  @Nutul saw. My local display came back up but with the mouse cursor "on" despite the System Config options saying it was still "off". A simple on-off cycle in the options fixed that.

In my case the popup keyboard was restored but perhaps I didn't trigger something @Nutul did.

Result: Local display on my updated 8.3.6 player is working fine.

Kent, it appears to be a problem with chromium because output of

Code:

systemctl status localui.service

is :

Code:

● localui.service - Start Chromium Browser
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/localui.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)

   Main PID: 1401 (code=exited, status=217/USER)

When I try to restart localui.service I get this in syslog:

Code:
