OP 2 went black - possibly after update
#1
Hey sailors!

I encounter an issue with my OP 2 installation.
Had the same thing on my test-system at home but now it happens to me while sailing.
Usually I could deal without a working desktop on OP but avnav ocharts plugin seems to need a running desktop somehow and now I end up without my licensed cards Sad

What happened: 
VNC stopped showing the desktop. "can not currently show the desktop" -> black screen.
I checked google for that and found some steps like resetting the resolution in raspi-config.
None of them helped. 

Any ideas what to check or to do now? 
When I type "startx" manually, x11 crashes with segmentation fault. Don't know if thats normal but I thought the vnc server needs a running x11?


It's a little nasty at sea now not having the licensed charts. I know this is all beta and I really love playing and experimenting but its just a bad timing now Smile

Regards,
Andy
