He was running it with a cron job?

So now I'm not so sure that the problem is with pigpio. I shut my Pi down and got this message:

A stop job is running to make remote cups printer available locally

I am using two small TFT screens, one by Waveshare on a Pi3 and the other a GoodTFT on a Pi4. Neither of these worked after the 5.4 kernel update so I went back to the 4.19 kernel until I had time to work on the problem. Today I checked the websites for both manufacturers and found they had new driv...

I got TightVNC server/client to correct directly through SSH, but couldn't do that with RealVNC. It seems that they are blocking this type of connection. But direct connections work fine with VPN, so I use RealVPN to connect directly locally and have the option to connect directly remotely with VPN...

If you are running the realvnc server from the Pi repository it will do direct connections. If you buy realvnc for the Pi because you want to use it for commercial purposes you need to buy the Enterprise edition to get direct connections. I have realvnc running on several Pis and I connect to them d...

Done. This problem is very intermittent and I have found no other factors that seem to affect it. This Pi does have one other possibly related issue in that it sometimes hangs during shutdown and does not blink the green LED. It isn't completely shutdown because I can't restart it by grounding GPIO ...

systemd-timesyncd will update the RTC automatically, should be no need to run hwclock.

Please provide system log information to help troubleshoot: First, verify how your systemd journal is configured. By default it should be 'auto'. grep -i storage /etc/systemd/journald.conf #Storage=auto pi@raspberrypi3B-1:~ $ grep -i storage /etc/systemd/journald.conf #Storage=auto To get a persist...

At the moment, raspberry pi does not have {'boxes':[[0,3,4,8][1,5,6,1]],'boxes_gt':[[2,3,3,8][4,2,8,5]]} to the terminal. I'm really curious what that means? Maybe an example of something we have done will give you some ideas. We have a Lidar scanner that is controlled by a C++ program running on a...

How much data are you actually trying to send? The wifi network is capable of carrying a lot of data. Write a simple client/server pair to send the coordinates via the network to the PC and process them there.

knute

The tricky thing was that it was intermittent. And it is still intermittent. I made the changes to the .service file and rebooted numerous times with no problem, then at the end of the day when I went to shut the computer down it hung. I rebooted and tried again and it hung. There are no startup er...

The pigpiod service file changed to Type=forking but did not specify the path to the main process id. Adding the following line to the [Service] section of that file (/etc/systemd/system/pigpiod.service) should fix the problem: [Service] PIDFile=pigpio.pid If you could provide feedback on this fix ...

Alternatively is there any other 64bit OS that might make this easier? I’m just frustrated at this point.

BellSoft has a 64bit Java 8 for ARM. http://bell-sw.com

knute

Thanks for that, I'll try it!

knute

OpenJDK8 does not include OpenJFX. You need to install it separately and the only OpenJFX in the repository now is 11. Java code written for 8 should work fine on 11. You can go to the Oracle site and get the old Java8 that used to come with a Pi and install that, it may have JavaFX in it. If it was...

knute

Thanks Dougie, I'll give those a try.

knute

My advice is go forwards. There was another update to the 5.4.51 kernel/bootcode/rpi-eeprom packages with apt yesterday. That includes all of the fixes for the known bugs in 5.4.51. From what I've read the issue with these little screens is not going to be resolved by fixes to RPiOS but by new driv...

knute

Try this before running the rpi-update again: sudo rm /boot/.firmware_revision That file holds the "currently installed" firmware/kernel version, but doesn't get cleared when apt installs a new kernel or firmware. (Perhaps RPT could consider making the raspberrypi-kernel and raspberrypi-b...

I have one of those small 3.5 inch video screens on one of my Pi4s and it stopped working with the 5.4.0 kernel. I used this command to roll back the kernel to 4.19.118: sudo rpi-update e1050e94821a70b2e4c72b318d6c6c968552e9a2 and it worked fine. But now when I run that command rpi-update says: pi@h...

knute

I had the same problem and it appears to be something with the amount of video memory. Try increasing it and see if that fixes the problem.

knute

Thanks, installing it did bring it back.

knute

I just did update and there were a lot of vlc related libraries and vlc is nowhere to be found now. I know there are some issues with this but how do I get it back in some version or condition?

Thanks.

knute

I just updated, not knowing any of this, and vlc is gone. No longer in the menus or available on command line. How do I get it back?
