[Xastir] RasPi upgrade continued ...

[Andrew Rich]

Did you also enable VNC? There was a bug in the initial release of Stretch which makes the menu bar disappear when VNC is enabled.
To fix run these commands:
Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

Note.... If you are stuck without a menu bar then press [Ctrl] [Alt] [F6] to get to a command prompt.

I’ve done nothing but connect a bluetooth keyboard, connect to wifi, and then in raspi-config I changed the hostname, password, enabled ssh, vnc, and i2c, and made localization changes. Done two clean installs and same problem!
