Display problems after updating

Mon Aug 01, 2016 11:18 am

Dear all,

I'm using Raspberry Pi2 and Raspberry official Touch Display 7". They worked fine.

This morning I updated Raspbian by using "sudo rpi-update". After reboot and "startx", the menu bar of the desktop started to flicker and the Start button is nolonger available.

I tried also "sudo apt-get upgrade" and "sudo apt-get update" but it's the same.

I also tried on an external HDMI monitor but it's the same.

Thank you in advance for any help.
Ciao

sudo rpi-update is not recommended unless under advisement to fix a known issue, it will install a Testing Kernel / Firware, the correct procedure is:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot

.
