Raspberry pi 4

Hello , I hope someone can help - going backwards. I have a raspberry pi 4. I was running an earlier version of venus OS on it. I did this by following Himmelburger bus. All good. Unfortunately - I became over confident and attempted to upgrade following his latest video. ie Venus OS . wic gz after some time I managed to get something on my pi 's screen but am not stuck. PS - I am a very green novice at thvictron.jpgis. Hope someone can help.

It looks like Venus is running "headless". That is, no local GUI.

Remove /etc/venus/headless and reboot.

Firmware updates replace the entire root partition where this stuff is kept and the default for Raspberry PI builds is headless.

Glad you found my video helpful. Sorry it didn't go well. Later in the video I had the same issue and showed how I fixed it.
