Where is Andy?

Help please, all my Hotspot s Nextions are dead after the upgrade to 4.1.2
I did no changes in the Nextion config just the update/upgrade and after a reboot the displays are dead.
What happened? How can I get them back to work normal again.

Addendum:
I think it might have something to do with the communication over the USB Port.
My Nextion displays on all 7 Hotspots are hooked up to the USB port and show only a black screen with "Started" on top, "Nextion Driver" in the middle and the IP Adress on the bottom.

We have just pulled in, compiled and pushed out the NextionDrvier binary, however we have done nothing with it, no config changes and no service / setup.

So that should not have affected your setup - do make sure that your config is still correct, clearly sexton driver is running since it says so on the screen, make sure that MMDVMHost is setup to use that as the screen.

Historically this has been a problem for us, Nextion Driver was always a 3rd party add-on, but its about time we pulled it in and made it part of Pi-Star - we're working toward that goal for 4.1.3....

Often running:

git reset --hard

will sort this out, but it probably needs to be part of the update/upgrade scripts to work properly.

If there is a file already where I want to update/add one - my scripts already sort that out

In this case the dead screens may well be caused by the Nextion port being set to "/dev/modem" rather than "modem" - see here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2753 - this has been fixed, update and test it pls.
