[PROBLEM] No more display after in-place update

Interesting. Not sure, then, where the OP's system is going crosswise. I suppose I can try once again to repro, this time with username other than pi.

@romain - when/where did you change the username?

I changed the username in rpi-imager Kent

Aha. I was about to say that's fine and dandy but then I remember my grandmother telling me "the proof of the pudding is in the eatiing" so I went ahead and finished the test I started yesterday.

1. flash moOde 8.3.5 to a uSD card using rpi-imager and setting the default username to moody in the process.

Booted the resulting moOde player which comes up with only one subdirectory in /home, namely /home/moody, as I expected

2. performed an inplace update of moOde 8.3.5 to moOde 8.3.6.

Rebooted the player which now comes up with *two* subdirectories

Code:

moody@moode:~ $ ls -l /home
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 5 moody moody 4096 Sep 11 11:11 moody
drwxr-xr-x 2 root  root  4096 Sep 11 11:08 pi

This still works with local display because moody < pi but....

@Tim Curtis I'm on the way out the door but where did /home/pi come from?
