hey, I switched wayland back to X11. rebooted the uConsole (CM5) now I got a blank screen witth a white light flashing on the top left. Any ideas?

did you use raspi-config to do it? did it install anything before it switched? labwc is the only de installed by default. i don’t recommend x11 because of the native portrait panel layout causes screen tearing.

Yeah, I used raspi-config to switch it, but when I went to exit the config, it immediately rebooted, and that’s when I got the issue. I was attempting to use X11 because RetroPie wasn’t getting on with Wayland. I think I’ll stick with Wayland and just use RetroArch. I know you have the OS for RetroPie but wanted to use it on main bookworm OS.

try this: -SOLVED- How do I boot directly into text mode instead of GUI? (Assume broken unusable GUI)

run raspi-config from there and choose x11 back

it also would be nice if you will show photo next time

I noticed recently that Raspberry Pi are publishing a trixie suite now, which makes upgrading this image to debian trixie a little easier. I’ve been running trixie on my devterm for some time now, and it’s been going great with some very small tweaks.

If you want to try this, obviously backup first, if it breaks you may end up with a system that does not boot.

Basically, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list and changes all occurrences of bookworm to trixie. Then, because the raspi libwlroots package clashes with the native debian one, create a file named /etc/apt/preferences.d/10-libwlroots-0.18-pin.pref containing the following

Package: libwlroots-0.18
Pin: origin "archive.raspberrypi.com"
Pin-Priority: -10

This will ensure apt uses libwlroots-0.18 from the debian repository instead of the raspi one.

Then just apt update and apt full-upgrade.
