#RaspberryPi users, I need help! After updating my kernel to version 6.6.67-v8-16k+ and rebooting, my MATE desktop environment won’t start. All I get is a blank screen, and Espeakup keeps repeating "black square black square black square." I can SSH into the system, so it’s partially functional.Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
• Rebooting the Raspberry Pi.
• Checking journalctl logs for errors (I have a full log if needed).
• Reinstalling the kernel with sudo apt install --reinstall raspberrypi-kernel.
• Ensuring my /boot/config.txt is configured correctly.
Some relevant observations from the logs:
• The desktop environment (MATE) and LightDM don’t seem to start.
• The error vc4-drm axi:gpu: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes appears multiple times in the kernel logs, suggesting a GPU/display issue.
• Services like rpi-connect-wayvnc.service are failing repeatedly.
• Espeakup works in TTY mode, but no graphical interface is available.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to diagnose or fix this without reinstalling Raspberry Pi OS? Could this be related to the kernel update? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!#Linux #Kernel #RaspberryPiOS #MATE #Accessibility #TTY #SSH #Debugging #LinuxHelp #Tech #Technology
