[PROBLEM] No more display after in-place update

[varunach]

@romain I edited the localui service definition file and restarted the daemon and localui service as you suggested. Still didn’t work and when I rebooted the RPi4 I think the username in the file again got overwritten to ‘pi’. Any suggestions?

@Tim Curtis let me know if you have any suggestions for fixing this

@Tim Curtis @romain I managed to edit the localui.service file again and got it to working now. Everytime the Raspberry Pi reboots, the localui user file gets overwritten with 'Pi' user and the display stops working, until I edit the file again. BTW when hooked up to the LG OLED 4K display the Moode UI is pixelated and not crisp. Is this expected or is there a way to fix the display resolution?

Prolly the same issue.

What is the output of the commands below?

Code:

ls -l /home

ls -al /home/pi

vasanth@moode:~ $ ls -l /home                                                                                                                                                                                  
drwxr-xr-x 2 root    root    4096 Sep 21 18:43 pi
drwxr-xr-x 2 vasanth vasanth 4096 Jun  8 14:59 vasanth

vasanth@moode:~ $ ls -al /home/pi
total 24

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1218 Sep  5 10:50 .xinitrc

To fix do the following:

1. Leave the local service file as-is with User=pi
2. Delete /home/pi using the command below

Code:

sudo rm -rf /home/pi

3. Reboot

I had this problem (it seemed to be the same, at least):
Wrong time/date in operating system

I really don't know why this happened
