Hi @kalon33, thanks for flagging this with us. There are a couple of things to try here.
Firstly, given you’re comfortable doing apt-get on the command line, I’m going to assume you’re comfortable with log files. Can you please have a read through the mycroft-update.log file at /var/log and see if there are any errors?
If so, try running sudo apt-get update and identify if there are any other packages that need updating. dist-upgrade will try and be smart and prioritize certain packages for update to resolve conflicts.
Eyes and screen both being off indicate a possible LED display issue - if they were working previously it’s unlikely hardware failure, but more likely a dependency on which the display relies.
Please let us know how you go.
Kind regards,
Kathy
Except these two warnings from dpkg, there’s nothing unusual for a apt-get log: dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable dpkg: warning: 'start-stop-daemon' not found in PATH or not executable dpkg: error: 2 expected programs not found in PATH or not executable Note: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin
According to apt-get, there’s no package to upgrade. Is there a specific package, config files or something for the display?
What’s weird about this is that they were working perfectly just before running apt-get dist-upgrade, eyes were still lit immediately after update, and a reboot switched them off, and they didn’t turn on (both screen and eyes) since.
@kalon33 OK, we’re going to try an update of the Mark 1 package. Do apt-get install -f mycroft-mark-1
and let me know the output of /var/log/mycroft-update.log
OK, just launched it, will give you the result at the end, but mycroft-mark-1 and mycroft-wifi-setup were, for an unknown reason, not installed on my Mark 1.
here is the apt-get log: sudo apt-get install -f mycroft-mark-1 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

And for good measure let’s do a reboot by pressing the top button for 2 seconds, and rotating the button till you see “REBOOT”, then press the button.
