Patchbox OS MODEP

hey all!
I am having a weird issue with the UI which is constantly failing over and over again and my device is not working :frowning:
Is there anything I could do about it?

thanks!

Hey, this looks like it could be an issue with the Python 3 on your system - did you update your system or customize it in some way?

I guess easiest way to get it back working would be to reflash the MODEP image to the SD card…

Yeah it was just a vanilla install of the image - no updates or any changes.
I fixed it yesterday by simply reflashing the image right after I finished my post but wanted to check if this is something what needs some attention…
