This is a nightly build that has not been tested yet, please use the released builds to test if they work first.

Ok, will go back to stable build.

I just tried "2018-04-22_2018-04-18-fullpageos-stretch-lite-0.9.0.zip" on 3 B+, but it does not work. It can not boot, just black screen.

@jyy1082 try the non-acceleration version at: http://unofficialpi.org/Distros/FullPageOS/no-acceleration/nightly/2018-07-22_2018-06-27-fullpageos-no-acceleration-stretch-lite-0.10.0.zip md5: http://unofficialpi.org/Distros/FullPageOS/no-acceleration/nightly/2018-07-22_2018-06-27-fullpageos-no-acceleration-stretch-lite-0.10.0.zip.md5

There are reports with 3B+ acceleration not working on some models, the fact you are based in China might give a good hit this is the issue, because you likely have access to much more diverse hardware there, which I can't test.

The non-acceleration version works. Could you tell me how should I disable GPU when use CustomPiOS to build a non-acceleration image? Thank you!

[guysoft]

The non-acceleration version just disabled the acceleration in the gui module. Its variant is here: https://github.com/guysoft/FullPageOS/tree/devel/src/variants/no-acceleration

You can read about it here: https://github.com/guysoft/FullPageOS#building-using-vagrant

How about I build from Debian and just set "[ -n "$FULLPAGEOS_INCLUDE_ACCELERATION" ] || FULLPAGEOS_INCLUDE_ACCELERATION=no" in this file: https://github.com/guysoft/FullPageOS/blob/devel/src/modules/fullpageos/config ?

[guysoft]

In both cases you are building from debian/raspbian. You can also write it from scratch. The varant and module system are there so you can easily keep your own code separate. You could also add a jjosfolder and append it to the main config file, if you are planning to maintain code against FullPageOS, which I am guessing you are. Read about writing CustomPiOS modules.

Got it. Thanks so much for your support!
