[Bug Report] [v1.5.6-alpha] No Video Signal (Unable to join Discord, so posting here)

[techscx]

At first:
Joining discord is not possible. I allways get "Whoops... Unable to accept invite"

Problem Description
Hello, I have now Video: "No Signal" after upgrading from 1.4.0 to 1.5.6. Have tried almost anything even installing the full image (1.4.0 release.tar) but that restore disable the whole web interface. After upgrading again (via ssh) to 1.5.6 I ended again in no video signal. Everything else works and there is no error message. Could be that the hdmi port is somehow broken? However, the passthrough is working: My physical monitor connected to the outgoing port is showing the pc screen correctly.

Proposed Solution
Video Signal must be working.

For your problem with Discord, try using incognito browser if you haven't already.
The following link has further suggestions https://thegeekpage.com/unable-to-accept-invite-issue-in-discord-how-to-fix/

For your "no signal" problem. Which BliKVM device did you buy? Show photos of your setup. Which target are you trying to control, server, laptop which brand and motherboard?
If you are in close proximity to your BliKVM, have you tried reflashing using v1.5.6-alpha release?

Please do try to join BliKVM Discord because other users may be able to help you.

Yes, please let me know your hardware version, and upgrading from v1.4.0 to 1.5.6 may have issues. It is recommended to directly reflash the image.

I encountered the same problem. I connected a brand-new BliKVM v4 Allwinner out of the box. The BliKVM software version was 1.2.0. The remote PC image was displayed in the browser.

I executed the command:

apt-mark hold linux-dtb-edge-sunxi64 linux-image-edge-sunxi64

Then, I updated the system using:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

and upgraded BliKVM to version 1.5.6, then rebooted.

After that, the image disappeared, showing "No Signal". Possibly, a kernel module got disabled. Reflashing the image onto the memory card (as mentioned above) helped. The new image contains BliKVM version 1.5.6, but the OS is not updated—the root partition is mounted as read-only, preventing updates.

Is it possible to update the OS without breaking the functionality of the BliKVM software?

Do you flash the 1.5.6 image? You can use rw command.
