      Raspberry Pi 4 over HDMI.

      I booted my Retropie for the first time in a while and had Retropie start updating. I then turned off my monitor for a while, came back and now I have no video on the monitor. Could anyone help with these problems:

      • How do I know when it's finished updating, since I can't see anything? I have SSH setup, but no way of viewing the local output that I know of.

      • How do I prevent my monitor doing this again?

      Any help would be much appreciated!

        Check the latest log file under $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs, every install/update has a log file.

        What kind of monitor do you have ? Does this happened before or just this once ?
