Booting Issues

[Sterling]

Running sudo apt full-upgrade worked to fix my boot issue.

After first setting up the Pinenote, I tried installing updates from Gnome software, but each time it restarted, none of the updates applied. So I tried sudo apt-upgrade, which seemed to run successfully, but after rebooting, the "Booting..." screen would just flash.

I was able to access the shell from my Mac by:

1. Connecting the Pinenote to my Mac with the UART connector.
   
2. Using tio to connect to the Pinenote. 
   
   Code:

   tio --baudrate 1500000 /dev/tty.usbserial-10
3. Restarted the Pinenote and entered into os1.
   
4. The Pinenote's shell appeared in tio, even though the Pinenote screen kept flashing "Booting...". I was able to sign in with the default passwords.
   
5. (Tried the mutter downgrade recommended above, but it didn't seem to make a difference)
   
6. Ran the full upgrade
   
   Code:

   sudo apt full-upgrade
7. Restarted the Pinenote, and it successfully booted into os1!
   

Still having some other issues, but happy to have Gnome back up and running.
