First time setting up a pi, when using vnc, ive had no trouble booting to and navigating the OS, however after following the waveshare guide for installing their display drivers, its able to show some of the boot junk, but eventually just turns and stays black. Completely inexperienced with this stuff and haven't been able to find the same issue online

memzdev

Sped it up 2x

memzdev

trying to access with VNC during this state does get me the following

memzdev

other than that no clue

jees

k9t33n

that's corrupted I think

k9t33n

try reflashing the SD card and reformatting it

memzdev

now that u mention it its probably the formatting

memzdev

i ripped it straight out of my nintendo switch

k9t33n

yup

memzdev

so i bought a fresh new 32gb sd card, made sure its fat32, fresh install of the os and followed the screen driver installation steps and got the same issue

k9t33n

try with vnc and without installing the drivers

k9t33n

in the imager you can reformat the SD card

k9t33n

yeah me too

k9t33n

thats why I suggest just to use a fresh install without the screen and use vnc to isolate the issue

memzdev

thats what ive been running for the past couple days

memzdev

works fine

k9t33n

ok so it is the drivers

k9t33n

somehow the screen drivers are damaging the pi os root

k9t33n

try and find alternative drivers
