Black Screen After Installing YunoHost on Raspberry Pi 4 – Stuck,

Hi everyone,

Iam having trouble after installing YunoHost on my Raspberry Pi 4. The installation went fine, but when I reboot, the screen stays black, and there’s no output.

I have double-checked my SD card and even tried a fresh install, but the issue keeps happening. I also can’t connect via SSH, so Iam completely stuck.

Has anyone else run into this or have any suggestions? I would really appreciate the help thanks in advance!

Hi romrom,

Welcome to the forums!

Please take the trouble to read and answer the questions that you threw away when writing your post. The answers to those questions help readers of your topic to understand the situation. Without it, you have to wait for them to write the question by hand, and after that they still have to wait for your answer.

Having said that…

What a shame, after the successful installation. You have screen and laptop connected directly to the RPi?

To get on the same page, did you run the installation according to the help at Install YunoHost | Yunohost Documentation ?

Is this your first experience with Raspberry Pi, or have you used it before?

Thanks for your input! I’ll check if the Raspberry Pi boots properly by removing YunoHost and testing with Raspbian. It might be an issue with the bootloader or display settings. I will also recheck the SD card formatting and image writing. Any other ideas to troubleshoot the black screen are welcome!

I’d say that if it booted at first, the bootloader should be fine. The display settings would not prevent network to become available.

With some Pi-like boards I had trouble booting when the power supply was insufficient. Sometimes they would boot, sometimes they would not. Sometimes they would crash, and, running fsck during boot, would draw too much power and quit booting alltogether.

If Raspbian does not have the issue (also not after rebooting and playing around a bit), you could start from that and install Yunohost on top by running curl https://install.yunohost.org | bash

Good luck!
