#Desktop file manager and screen blanking issues #desktop
|
Hi,
With nwdr15.img and recently with nwdr14.img I observed same desktop issues on two different Raspberry Pi models 3B+ and 4 and two different screen displays models. These issues are not present on latest RaspBian distro september 2019 with same 4.19.93 kernel and all applications updated. First issue is with screen blanking. I had to disable it in preference menu for it was impossible to recover a display after it was blanked. Sometime unplugging the UDMI plug could recover a normal display but usually a reboot was needed. Second issue is with File Manager desktop icon. When clicking on the icon it opens a file window very briefly and close it right away. At the same time all desktop icons disappear for a brief moment and reappear on the desktop. 73 de Bernard, f6bvp

For the file manager I noticed this to. We did a quick reinstall of the file manager and it took care if it. When I get back home later today I will look up the command we used and send it over. 73’s Jonathan N9TJX

I had the same problem with file manager. I had a fresh image, nwdr15, the piwiz ran through almost all downloads then failed. Basil had said the core config does the same thing as the piwiz, if I understood correctly, so I left it. After core config, I tried to use the file manager for the first time and noticed the problem.
the problem went away after running sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade sudo reboot david, Ke7rgp

Hi Bernard,

Second issue first: File Manager instantly closes when opened The solution can be found here: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/92213/file-manager-instantly-closes-when-opened The file manager used in Raspbian is called pcmanfm, you must re-install it. sudo apt-get install --reinstall pcmanfm First issue: Disclaimer I do NOT use the raspbian GUI very much so this is my limited observation. One of my monitors, Sceptre model E16 (12v monitor), stopped working with buster running on an RPi 4. I got it displaying again by putting the following in the /boot/config.txt file. [pi4] # Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver on top of the dispmanx display stack #dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d max_framebuffers=2 hdmi_force_hotplug:0=1 #hdmi_safe=1 hdmi_group:0=1 hdmi_mode:0=4 What I would do is collect some data to see if you can understand the problem better. Look at: - monitor model - video connector used, ie. HDMI, - all the hdmi settings in /boot/config.txt, - raspberry pi model, - kernel version This is what I am currently using for testing on my bench: machine kern RPi video Monitor plutest 4.19.75 Pi 4 Model B HDMI Sceptre 16" nwdr15plu2 4.19.93 Pi 3 Model B HDMI Sunfounder 10" touch ardop2 4.19.75 Pi 3 Model B+ HDMI Sunfounder 10" mhams 4.14.98 Pi 3 Model B HDMI Sunfounder 10" Also you will get more eyes looking at your problem if you post your description on the RaspberryPi-4-HamRadio groups.io site. /Basil n7nix f6bvp <f6bvp@free.fr> writes:

David, This means that something should be repaired in nwdr14 and 15 ?

This means that something should be repaired in nwdr14 and 15 ?I will not be spinning a new image. The pcmanfm reinstall has been added to 'app_config.sh core' with this commit: https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/n7nix/commit/bf885816fe434007f649aaf3ec05d0b253fc9cba For new installs pcmanfm will automatically get reinstalled if directions are followed in the "Getting Started Guide" ie. you need to do a 'git pull' before running 'app_config.sh core' For those who have already done an install you can fix the symptom, as previously posted by opening a console running: apt-get install -y -q --reinstall pcmanfm I will see if screen blanking issue is also gone.I think these 2 issues are unrelated. /Basil n7nix

Hi Basil, sudo apt update suggesred by david, Ke7rgp

My suspicions are that since this is a known issue with the Raspian
image then they must have fixed the issue and the update/upgrade
pulled in the 'fix'...
