[SOLVED] local UI gone after changing host/player name

[TheOldPresbyope]

Log may not look suspicious but I just repro'd the OP's problem.

- flashed a fresh moOde 8.3.7 with no preconfigured hostname in Pi Imager
- booted on an RPi3+ with official 7" LCD display
- enabled local display
-> local display working

- changed host name from "moode" to "home" in WebUI.
- rebooted
-> local display not working; still in terminal mode

No chromium-browser process is running.

Haven't had time to noodle through this one.

ETA - ahh, checked syslog. The game's afoot.

Code:
