1. Solved
2. Question : After update, why did it switch to text login?

It's solved in your case, but real solution is worked on.

Effectively, Mga7 and Cauldron are the same.
This is one of the joys of running Cauldron. :lol: i.e something got broke.
As Mga7 has not yet been branched off the Cauldron tree, this is likely to happen.
