So long story short I saw some a couple items on GitHub that had been updated since my Amibian 1.5 install. So from the config menu I ran the option to update and upgrade. Took quite awhile to run, lots of updates. Restarted the system and it won't let me run the Amibian menu. Type "menu" and it says "./show_menu.sh: Permission denied" I typed "su -l" and typed in the 1234 password and the prompt shows: "root@amibian:~#" so I thought that should give me access to everything but still get that message when typing "menu"
So the menu script in /usr/local/bin calls the show_menu script in /home/amibian/.amibian_scripts So I looked at the permissions for those files and all of the .sh files are owned by "root" and the permissions are: -rw-r--r-- The rest of the files in that directory are owned by "amibian" and the permissions are: drwxrwxrwx and it allows me to run those with no problem.
So that was a long way to go to ask if the permissions of the script files have anything to do with me not being able to run them? I am a newbie when it comes to Linux so this is where I am pretty much stuck now. Oh, wait. Just tried changing the file permission of show_menu.sh with: chmod a+x to give execute permission to everyone and now it runs. So it looks like I will have to change the permissions of all the files to get the menu options running. Weird, when I take option 2 for the Amibian Desktop it is a completely different GUI ... looks like the PIXEL GUI.
Guess my question is: WTH happened when I ran the updates? I'll play around with changing permissions and see if I can get this operational again.
BTW, the ironic part of all this . . . I did the update to get the updated version of piclone because when I ran the "SD Card Copier" from the Amibian Desktop I got the error "Cannot create file system" or something like that. I was worried if the SD card crashed I would have to start all over again. I did manually backup my Amiga directory onto a USB drive so if I do have to start again with this at least I won't have to set up my Workbench and software installs again . . . I hope . . .
Thanks for listening!

I also had issues when updating Amibian. First time I tried to update I just ended at the command line. Next time it worked better, but it messed up the startmenu Start icon. Now I hadnt used amibian in a while and decided to update both the the system and amiberry.
Amiberry got updated to v3.3. After next reboot the default resolution at the command line menu and the the Amiberry GUI was set to 2160p. And worse, the emulation speed was dramaticly reduced. From having a super-fast setup I now had something between a stock A1200 and A3000 speeds (according to SysInfo).
Running Amiberry from the linux desktop was better, and the speed was back to normal.
I found some recommended settings here on the forum and tried to change the hdmi settings in config.txt, but my TV did not respond well to those settings.
Instead of using more time with troubleshooting, I made a backup of my amiga setup and the updated amiberry executable. Then I flashed the Amibian1.5ee and copied the files back. I now have Amiberry3.3 running well both from the commandline GUI and the desktop.
Greetings I have looked for settings on the desktop that would be for Amibian and I am not seeing anything of that nature.
Boot your system until you reach the point: menu permission denied. Then type "root" to the terminal. Then you will come to the Linux Desktop. Browse to the menu until you find a point like amibian settings or something similar to that. From there you can run the update function. Please install the second point again. Then reboot. After this you have to change the root password. After this the menu is repaired and you can use the Amibian normal.
This worked for me. I hope for you also.
