CLI not available after logging in with SSH

[nickteeple]

Hello, I enabled WiFi with the wpa config file. I can get the SSH password prompt and log in successfully, but no prompt shows up. When it does this with keyboard and local display, I have to hit control+c and it will drop me to the regular prompt, but this doesn't work via SSH. Any tips?

Maybe it's worth noting that the video that's playing back on the display flashes chaotically after I log in to this prompt.

Another interesting data point is that if I try from another Ubuntu system, it at least gives me the prompt, but it only let me complete a few commands before locking up and closing the connection once again. The previous tests were from WSL on Windows.

hi, it could be that the shell crashes as the .bashrc file tries to start mp4museum on login. can you exit the script on the local console first, then try to login via ssh? after connection is established, try ctrl-c to kill the script. first i found it helpful to get to console much easier, but it seems to have some downsides. might go back to the old ways, since a fatal vlc error now leaves the player with console open, which is not good either. best, Julius
