So, FINALLY after a little pulling out       of hair, I managed to figure out what is going on.              After a new install on the same Pi started out working, and then failed after       I started migrating my menus to the new board; it struck me.              In my prelogin menu I have a simple python2 script running. And it was the       mixture of Python2 and 3 that was breaking things for me. After fixing a text       file my script was importing (had some sort of broken UTF-8 enconding in it) I       was able to run this script as Python3 and then continue to use Python 3.              TL;DR: Mixing Python2 and Python3 in Mystic (RPi OS Bullseye) can break       things. Lesson learned, now I can finally move on with Python3 and Mystic.              blade              ...
