Issue with batocera black screen

agustinblanco

Hi everyone I have an issue with my batocera linux.
I am booting from an usb, I get the 'batocera.Linux' screen, then an image of batocera and after that a black screen.
If a reebot I get a disk boot error but if I boot unplugging and plugging It starts to this point of a black screen

I tried scanning the usb and got no issues.
This was working before and this happened out of the blue. No update or nothing.

Any ideas? Maybe a corrupt file? I have 4gb of ram but my specs were working last week properly.

Thanks

Maybe your usb drive is corrupt.
I would test this usb drive on another computer and also try with a fresh new install on another usb-drive.
This way you can find out the cause.

They should really stop to override the system area at every start.That is not healthful and I believe that most people think, that there is just reading taking place on the system device. This permanently writing on mostly the same place will also kill you an ssd, over time, when system is on this support.
Now, I am just a silly old guy who made alot of money with software, so who would believe me ????

Dragu You said so many times that you made money on IT and you are old that it is hard not to believe you :-) You are also extremely sarcastic and make comments on everything you have an opinion on ;-) and you have one on most ;-)

And writing in the same place on SSD while doable will not damage the disk as much as HDD would on multiple uses ;-) And to actually get to that point you either need very little luck(or a lot depending how you look at it) or have very old or/and overused drive. And yes you can quote me online articles that will prove your point but I am sure with enough search the opposite can be done as well ;-)

Not that some of your comments are not helpful but come on... why the need to say things this way ? 🙂

First there is an asthonishing failure number from USB sticks concerning Batocera over time.
Second, there is no reason to override at every start the full set of operation system files.
What means, if you make (like in Batocera) too much of this, you also arrive to override personal
configurations, what is the case.
Third, there is no reason that if I copy a different dosbox version (just an example) in replacement
for the faulty version, it will be again swepped at the next boot.
"You are also extremely sarcastic and make comments on everything you have an opinion on ;-) and you have one on most ;-)"
No, but if you means by this, having studded IT in university, I agree. Anyway, this is not islamic state and in central Europe free speaking is allowed. 🙂

Dragu Yes, and we all need a little salt in our life ;-) You have clearly misunderstood or chose not to understand my comment ;-) No need to continue as my point has been made ;-)
