raspinfo@1 failing #1

Closed ferventpiranha closed 9 months ago

ferventpiranha commented 8 years ago

on the latest Jessie Lite, raspinfo@1 works for a few seconds then fails. systemctl status raspinfo@1 shows the following:

raspinfo@1.service - Display Raspberry Pi specific system information directly on the framebuffer. Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/raspinfo@.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: signal) since Thu 2016-02-25 08:16:00 EST; 14min ago Process: 348 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/raspinfo --daemon --device /dev/fb%i --pidfile /var/run/raspinfo%i.pid (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 386 (code=killed, signal=SEGV)

Hi, I will have a look over the weekend. Is there any chance that a core file was created when it SEGVed? If so it would help me work out where it is crashing.

ferventpiranha commented 8 years ago

Thank you. I love the functionality, I just can't get it to work. Just so you know I'm a total noob when it comes to all of this.

AndrewFromMelbourne commented 8 years ago

You are welcome. I am sorry I haven't had any time to look at this issue.

Could you tell me the Raspberry Pi model you are using?

Are you using a small TFT display? If so which one?

I am not sure if this will help me narrow down the problem. I have never tried using the program on Rasbian Lite, so there may be something going on there. I will try Raspbian Lite when I have some time.

Sorry for the delay.

It's a Pi 2. By Raspbian Lite I mean I'm running the Lite version of the official Raspbian Jessie release. It just doesn't have a lot of the educational and game stuff pre-loaded. It's on their main release page: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/.

I'm running the Adafruit PiTFT Plus 3.5" found here: https://www.adafruit.com/products/2441. I've also loaded their frame buffer library found here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pitft-3-dot-5-touch-screen-for-raspberry-pi/easy-install. I did all of the steps documented in their DIY installer script - it's just a few apt-gets and one setup step.

The fact that it works fine for a few seconds then cuts out (and requires a reboot to start again) is what's odd to me.

Thanks, that may help.

AndrewFromMelbourne commented 8 years ago

I haven't forgotten about this, but haven't had any time to look at it!

ferventpiranha commented 8 years ago

I would love to get this solved. If there's anything I can do to help please let me know.

AndrewFromMelbourne commented 8 years ago

Hi, yes I am sorry I have had very little time recently. Can I suggest running the raspinfo program from a terminal, rather than install it as a service.

cd raspifb16
git pull
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
./bin/raspinfo

Then let me know if any errors are reported. There is also a test program, you could try running that

./bin/raspifb16test

And let me know what is displayed on the screen.

Not sure if this reply will get to you or just get lost in github, but thank you so much for getting back to this project. Sorry that I missed your reply years ago and that project was lost a few home moves ago I think. Thank you again for your time!
