I've been having a rather odd issue with an entirely pink screen upon cold boot.

I tried with Raspbian and it didn't occur there.

 

This has actually prevented me from using the device at all now.

When I first set it up, I was able to Ctrl C the setup stuff and type in reboot. When it rebooted, I was able to use it again.

However, last night the Wifi completely died. I tried everything to revive it but it kept asking for the password repeatedly. Tried different networks, no luck.

Figured power cycling might help. Bad idea.

 

Now I can't SSH in to type in reboot, and I'm now permanently stuck on a pink screen.

Doesn't matter if I replug the HDMI, use different monitors, etc.

 

If there's a way to reboot without unplugging, that would be a good temporary fix.. but I'm a bit stuck.

Using Armbian 5.35 OPi Lite Ubuntu Xenial Desktop 3.4.113 (latest I believe)

 

I think I found the cause of the issue.

I've got this hooked up to a spare monitor which has VGA and DVI inputs.

I only have an HDMI > VGA adapter.

 

The -d flag on h3disp is for DVI, not for VGA.

When I did the -d flag previously, I get a rather odd color palette.

 

So, to fix it, I have to cold boot while connected directly to an HDMI monitor.

After it's booted, I can switch over to the adapter.

Rather odd, but now Wifi works again and I can use the thing!

 

Should I create another issue if the Wifi anomaly occurs again?
