I have had a raspberrypi 4 running Venus 3.55 without issue. I did an online upgrade to 3.6.2 and it now boots to a linux console and prompts for a login ID:
I’ve tried root/venus root/ZZZ pi and raspberry. I can’t seem to get past this login prompt. Reimaging back to 3.55 and it doesn’t prompt for a login id, though it does boot to a linux console and I have to do the steps to get the UI on HDMI. Doing an online update of the fresh 3.55 to 3.6.2 also results in a linux login prompt on reboot.
I’ve done searches and can’t see what the UID/PW might be and even why it’s requiring it. Seems like something new in 3.6.2 or my hardware is not longer compatible maybe?
By default, root login and the local GUI are disabled in the RPI images. I’m not sure what the differences between v3.55 and v3.62.
The way to get things working has always been to use a remote GUI (venus.local from a web browser on the same network) and enable the root login and set a password.
If you set up ssh keys then you usually don’t need to set up the root account info each time but may need to delete the key in ~/.ssh/known_hosts on the computer you are using to ssh into Venus OS.
