Pi 4 won't boot downloaded Volumio image

Volumio Development Bug reports
#1

Prerequisites

Volumio Information

Volumio Version: 2.882
Hardware: Pi 4 2GB
DAC: none

Debug Log

Can’t get any, Volumio won’t start properly

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Burn downloaded 2.882 image onto SD with Balena Etcher
  2. Make sure Pi 4 is running EEPROM v2021-04-29
  3. Insert SD into Pi 4
  4. Connect power
  5. Watch Pi boot up to the Volumio black screen and freeze there
  6. Wait a couple hours: nothing happens still and no network connection or hotspot.

Additional Information

This is a new Pi and it works because PiOS and Ubuntu and RetroPie and other images boot on it. But Volumio consistently freezes at boot. I tried two different SD cards, I am using the official 15W USB-C power supply.

#2

Had the same issue last week. My problem was the used SD. Took a new one and it worked.

#3

I tried with different cards, and all these cards with Pi OS or Ubuntu work. I also tried a few USB keys and they work with Pi OS/Ubuntu but not Volumio.

#4

Can you attach a monitor to your pi, are there errors?

#5

I have, and there is nothing at all. It shows the rainbow, then a black screen with the Volumio logo and that’s it. I can’t do anything (keyboard/mouse unresponsive), it doesn’t acquire a network address (doesn’t even request one according to the DHCP server logs), it just stays there crashed for ever. I even let it run overnight just to see and in the morning it was still on the same screen with the Pi 4 super hot.

#6

Did you follow the Quick Guide?
Volumio initially starts up headless (no display).

#7

Are you sure, die to the rainbow, that your PSU is powerful enough?

#8

And did the verify part of etcher completed without any errors?

#9

I have. It doesn’t even start Volumio, it crashes as soon as the black background with the volumio logo appears. So it never requests a DHCP lease on ethernet, doesn’t create a hotspot, doesn’t expand the partition, nothing. I let it run for a few hours just in case and all it did was get hot but nothing happened. The green activity LED also turns off once it crashes.

#10

It’s the Pi’s official 15W USB-C PSU. It works fine with PI OS in 4k or with LE10 in 4k.

#11

Yes, no errors.

#12

last suggestion, as I am running out of ideas.
Have you attached something to the USB ports, if yes remove everything. just boot the rPi with a fresh image and wait for 5-10 minutes with nothing attached.

If you already did that, I have no clue…

#13

Already done that :confused:

#14

try a 3.xx version maybe that works…

#16

I have the same problem and I had tried version 3.xx and still not working. Anyone found the solution?

#17

@Jason_Hsieh
what is your set-up and what did you have installed…
and with what did you burn your image.

you know you have to unzip it before burning?

#18

I used rpi4b 2gb with 15w power and burn the newest version 2.882 into my sd card using balena etcher.
I connect it to the power and it seems to boot fine, but after that my screen just show blank(black).
yes I unzip it.

#19

blank not some text? like login?
volumio you could see in any browser in your network …
try http://volumio.local or ip of the pi . (beware volumio doesn’t use https:// so use http:// )
wifi you can set-up if your in volumio…
hook it up wired first … if you want to discover your ip
you can login ( in black screen) and use name :volumio pass: volumio
type: ip address and hit enter
inet will give you your ip

#20

After those text.
no there isn’t any wifi named volume, and I tried to connect it with ethernet, and it still not show up
I’ve search devices from my router, no appear

#21

I put there few hours and I just saw the wifi…thanks for help
