After an upgrade Raspberry Pi 4 Venus OS v3.60~39 OLD GUI no longer works, blank screen. Same for attached 7" touchscreen as well as remote console. Any solution?
P.S. I am aware that NEW GUI isn’t supported for Raspberry Pi 4 attached displays. Just trying to get an OLD GUI running, never installed GUI mods.

Already tried upgrading dbus-serialbattery from v1.5.20241215 to v1.6.20250131(as one of the solutions for some folks) I am running a CAN-BUS EG4 battery bank with Raspberry Pi CAN Bus Expansion HAT:
Not sure if that’s the problem. Everything was working flawlessly until Venus OS v3.60~20 beta release.
The easiest way to test is to roll back to the production version and see what happens.
Isolating a beta issue does need mods ideally removed, as that does confuse matters and is often the cause…
Moved to the beta category.
I agree with mr-manuel, this appears to be an issue with SetupHelper. Uninstall both from the command line and see if that restores the screen. If so, make sure you have the latest SetupHelper (v8.29) and try again.
Recently, Victron switched from QtQuick 1.1 to QtQuick 2 and SetupHelper needed to be upgraded to accommodate that change. That change occurred in SetupHelper v8.27 so anything prior to that will be a problem.
Hello, Indeed was the SetupHelper, I forgot that I installed it long time ago at some point but never used its features. BTW I had the latest version installed v8.29 which is strange. I uninstalled it in v3.53~2 VenusOS version and upgraded again to v3.60~39 and everything worked again. Even RPi attached 7" touchscreen works now as well. Thanks again for your support.
I am running into a different issue now in v3.60~39. Looks like there are multiple packages missing in this beta-release. I wrote a custom Grid limiter script which requires influxdb (for Victron Quattro Inverter grid meter to pull data from another pi which monitors Grid usage) and redis (to set and get some cross platform data). I guess I would have to roll back again if I wont figure out how to get/install required packages. Or open a new topic.
My pre-setup file looks like this:
vi /home/root/velib_python-master/test/run_setup.sh
#!/bin/bash
opkg update
opkg list | grep pip
opkg install python3-pip
pip3 install influxdb
pip3 install redis
cd /etc/venus/
mv headless headless.off

Thanks Kevin, you were right, had to uninstall SetupHelper and upgrade again. Got my old web GUI back and Rpi attached 7" touchscreen working again. Dealing with new issues now mentioned in the Reply to Manual above…
