Oh, yeah, it does work fine without updating. But that's why I made the thread, heh.

I flashed it with StellarMateOS_1.5.4.img.xz, though. Is there a different 1.5.4 I should try?

I just purchased the StellarMate OS as I had a brand new Raspberry Pi 4 8GB sitting here after the original project it was supposed to be for got veto'd.

Flashed the OS to a 64GB card, and it booted up just fine. Played around with the simulation profile a while just to check things out in the app on my tablet, and noticed that it said there were updates available. Told it to update, which it did without complaint, then shut down the pi to take it upstairs to start hooking things up to it.

Powered the pi back up and....nothing. Took it back downstairs, hooked it up to my monitor, black screen after flashing the raspberry pi logo for about .001 seconds and it stops there. Couldn't figure out what was happening, so on a hunch, I flashed the OS to a older (and slower) 32GB card and had exactly the same thing happen.

Re-flashed the 64GB card, and it boots up just fine, but cannot run updates on the OS at all, either through SSH, or directly through the OS. Updates say they complete, but the device refuses to boot back to the UI afterwards, and doesn't allow VNC or the StellarMate app to connect. I'm fine running without most recent OS updates for now, everything seems to work just fine on my setup, but it'd be nice to know if I'm just doing something wrong or if there's known issues with the latest builds.

Any tips/advice welcome.
