Today I got the message about 19.1 being available so I again updated through xBian Config and now it is again not booting into KODI GUI, just as before I get the splash screen and then a linux login.

Luckily I took an image of my system a couple of days ago and reflashed so am back up and running

I'd stay away from 19.1 until it's released in an xbian update, personally...devs are also working on Bullseye, so that's coming as well at some point.

have you simply tried using balena etcher to flash the iso derived from the zip to your SD card? etcher does the work for you...or it has for me...maybe @Nachteule can straighten me out as to why that may be incorrect, if it's not proper.

After this week's update, I believe I'm going to move to a USB flash drive for xbian, and change the boot order on my PI so that the SD card is backup, and place/pull system snapshots to/from my network drive. SD cards are proving a bit fragile for my taste...
