Raspberry Pi Forums

Hey everyone,
I put the latest Raspbian-Jessie image on a SD card and popped it in my RPi2, started up just fine, rant the update and upgrade commands then shut the Pi off for the night, tried to boot it this morning and it runs through the normal start up lines then just goes to a black screen with a cursor that occasionally blinks then disappears.

I have a Class 4, 4gig card, is it possible the updates and upgrades exceeded its capacity?

Did you expand the install via raspi-config before updating? If not, you may have run out of space for that reason. Type... ...in at the prompt. The options are self-explanatory.

The standard (full) Jessie won't fit on a 4GB card. Try a 8GB card, or preferably a 16GB one. If you don't want a GUI desktop, you can put Jessie Lite on a 4GB card, but be aware of what it cannot do.

Thanks guys, will go buy a 16g card today.

Hello,
I have the same issue with my 1. generation Pi and Raspbian Jessie upgrade on a 16 GB SD card. Currently I'm doing an upgrade with a new A+ Pi on a 32 GB SDcard
During the upgrade I can see a lot of messages like
"usr/bin/mandb can't create index cache var/cache/man/2668 no space left on device"
I remember that I got the same messages during upgrading my old Pi...let's see if the screen turns also black after the reboot in a while....I'll let you know.
Greetings!

...OK
after upgrading the A+ on a 32 GB SD card and reboot the screen turned black (with flashing cursor in the upper left corner) right after the boot screen.
It's maybe a problem with the reserved space for the cache index (see my post before)?

I found something about the HDMI boost value in the boot seetings...I will try to change it and reboot again

Also I use a non powered USB hub with the A+

OK solved...I should have considered the lines of GTR2Fan:
sudo raspi-config
with
expand filesystem

There was a clean upgrading possible afterwards without any "no space left on device" message.

Thanks a lot!
Olli
