temp measuring fails after dist-upgrade

Wed Jun 05, 2019 10:33 pm

Today morning everything worked perfectly. Then I did first time ever sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and after that the temp readings stopped working:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp
VCHI initialization failed
After googling I am no smarter, just can say that I was and still am "video" group member, which was suggested more than 10 times as a fix.

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.14.83v7-aufs #1 SMP Wed Nov 28 22:52:43 CET 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

elsewhere was suggested that there might be disconnect between drivers and OS and kernel. And the only solution provided there was to run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' which caused the problem in the first place and now running the command again doesn't do anything new.

Moreover disturbing is that now I get the same "VCHI initialization failed" also elsewhere, in entirely another image, where I have not run the dist-upgrade at all. What is going on? How can I fix this?


EDIT: Did

Code: Select all

sudo rpi-update
and this borked the entire berryboot system / images, where now all the USB ports and Ethernet port stopped working. Flashed another SD card with fresh Raspbian Full image and with this everything works. But the first SD card with berryboot and 10 images got kind of destroyed by dist-upgrade and kernel update via rpi-update :( is there a way I could somehow fix the first SD card in another computer by deleting or modifying some files in offline mode to revert the kernel update there?
