Bullseye boots up but ends up being a black screen


 
Edited

I've been using Buster on my pi4 and wanted to upgrade to Bullseye and install BAP.? Bullseye looks like its installing, but after awhile, nothing happens and it's a black screen.? Could it be my display?? I've switched hdmi ports but still nothing?? I've searched but I dont seem to find an answer.? Any help would be appreciated.?

TIA,
Pat


 

Had to switch displays.? ?Installing BAP now


 

When I first installed Bullseye on a Pi, it didn¡¯t come with a GUI ¡ª it was command line only and then you could install any of a number of GUI packages. Granted, this was very close to the day when Bullseye 64 bit was officially released, so this may have changed now. But I had similar behavior of booting to a (almost) black screen, except for a little cursor at bottom left.

Other things to investigate are your /boot/config.txt settings, especially the HDMI options: read?
and?
