Not trying to investigate your issue, but as a rule of thumb, you better not have both wired and wireless network enabled...

HI,
I can tell you that I had this problem with old versions of moOde, if I remember correctly up until moOde 5.*
Then he never showed up again.

This message "** To set a new password for your userid type 'passwd'." is ok. It's how you would change your password if desired.

@Venerdi the WebUI does not automatically appear on an attached display. Open a Browser, type http://moode, http://moode.local, or http://IP_ADDRESS_OF_PI.

Menu, Configure, Peripherals has the section the Local Display, Pi Touch etc.

@Tim
Thanks, I solved the problem, but now I have two more questions to ask.
1) Until now I turned on the Pi4 and I was immediately in moOode. Now, it always asks me for login and password. How can I avoid this?
2) The picture on the TV was perfect; now, at the beginning it's full of artifacts, then it goes back to normal, but it goes partly off screen. I don't see a part on the right and the whole top part. In moOde options there is GPIO pin mappings. It can be useful?

what do you mea by "always asks for user/pw"? the console/command line or when you are actually in the moode GUI? when accessing moode via a browser... under system/peripherals... is local display active?

Hi,
I'll try to explain myself better. The Raspberry is connected with HDMI output to the TV. When I turn on the Raspberry, on the television screen I see all the boot. Towards the end of boot, the system asks for userid and password.
When I enter them, after 2 or 3 seconds, I access the moOde GUI.
This morning, doing other checks, I realized that if I don't enter the userid and psw, after exactly 20 seconds of waiting, he enters the moOde GUI.
Unfortunately, viewing problems remain on the TV screen, the image is off-centre and too large. If I connect remotely from my PC, the image is perfect. Up until version 8.39, I didn't have this problem.

this delayed GUI bootup is expected behavior, at least for me and since i'm a user (moode 8.x)
it always takes 10-30 seconds to start the GUI/chromium after the system has booted

have you tried editing the resolution in /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt? i don't know the syntax unfortunately, but that's where i would start looking if settings/peripherals in the GUI doesn't help

I don't see anything suspicious in the log. 

Try turning the Display off/on, re-seat the HDMI cable and then reboot the Pi.

@Tim

I solved the display problem, I made a change, using intuition (or unconsciousness, since I don't understand anything about it).
The point is that I made this change by viewing old backups where everything seemed to work and studying the differences with that of 9.01, everything was resolved, but I absolutely don't know what the changes I made mean.
I changed these two lines from the config.txt file
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2
with
#dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
#max_framebuffers=2
I disabled them.
Now I wonder... what did I do? Why does everything work now? What do those two lines mean? Booting is also faster.

@Venerdi you can read the official config.txt documentation here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentatio...g_txt.html

That's not to say I fully understand what all those options do, but it's a start.

Thanks, interesting.
I don't really understand the issue either, but I have confirmation that my problem was due to the vc4-kms-v3d driver.
If I understand correctly, it's not a moOde problem, but a kernel problem. Maybe because version 9 uses a new kernel...
And finally, maybe I can enable the command again
max_framebuffers=2
which concerns the number of monitors used, and I don't think it created any problems.
...you always learn something new...
