Have you searched the community for related issues?

  • Yes, a lot in web and here i did not found something similar

First of all, sorry for my english, i’m not a native speaker so is kinda butchered here.

So, for some reason the fyde OS version for the raspberry pi 5 doesn’t work for me, i tried with both raspberry pi imager, balena and even with Linux directly(WSL), it loads something but when i put the sd card on the raspberry it tries to boot something and displays a black screen and then stops and tries again, but never actually boots.

I have been trying to look for evidence that the 19 version of fyde OS work but i did not find anyone who has used it, i just found for the 18.1 in a lot of youtube videos, i don’t know if works for someone here.

Please describe the problem you’ve encountered in detail:

  • Description:
    I followed the instructions to download it from the page, i downloaded the image and baked it on the sd with the balena software, it kinda work although at the end it showed a error message that said that the connections was interrupted, and that i check for corruption in the compiled file which is odd, so i put the sd on the board and it did not work, it just got stuck in a loop trying to boot.

I tried the raspberry imager and with the console and it did not show anything but still gets stuck, i checked the sd card and change it, is using FAT32 as is usual for chrome os and really i don’t have what else to try, it may need a different type of sd or something??

What screen did you use? I guess fydeos does not support your screen. Just a guess, lots of people use raspberry pi 5 here and they can boot up.

I did not know it could be a problem, I am using a tv screen because I do not have anything else

Something I forgot to say is that in videos the OS in the memory is usually divided in lots of partitions, but mine only has three partitions, I do not know if it is normal or not

Or maybe anyone can help me get an older version??, maybe the 18.1, just to try it out

I guess the screen is the problem. You should try another screen.
