Run on boot question

[bmaselli13]

I've tried to setup the system to boot to Fruitbox. When I adjust the settings in rc.local, the system still boots to the desktop. Am I missing something?

[bmaselli13]

Just bumping this

[chundermike]

Ah sorry for delay...not 100% sure. As its not really a fruitbox issue maybe it's worth googling generally?

[bmaselli13]

Fair enough. Was hoping others who've ran into it might chime in as well. Thanks Mike!

[bmaselli13]

Worked the start on boot using autostart but now running into an issue when Fruitbox starts. I get an error with the .ini file. (See Attached)

[chundermike]

The [skins] section is either empty or points to cfg files which don't exist (or their paths are wrong, most probably)

[bmaselli13]

Let me know if I'm missing something somewhere.

fruitbox.cfg (under home/user/fruitbox folder) skins setting [skins] File = skins/TouchBlue/fruitbox.cfg

TouchBlue folder

Not sure if it's just a formatting issue in the github messaging, but [skins] should be on a separate line to the File = line ...

[skins] File = skins/TouchBlue/fruitbox.cfg

...and this is in the ini file, not cfg file

[bmaselli13]

Sorry. First file is the .ini file. My bad on that typo.

[bmaselli13]

yes, it actually reads

[skins] File = skins/TouchBlue/fruitbox.cfg

[chundermike]

Where are you running fruitbox from? In that place there needs to be a directory called skins, which subsequently contains a TouchBlue directory with the cfg file in. Open a command line terminal, cd into the directory you run fruitbox from, then type

ls skins/TouchBlue

...this should show you the cdg file etc.

fruitbox version 2.03 (Jul 5 2022, 23:07:24) by Mike Kingsley A customisable MP3/OGV Jukebox for the Raspberry Pi. Free for non-commercial use Raspberry Pi Hardware version 4 detected Detecting display...ERROR: Failed to get display mode

[chundermike]

I thought the issue was with the skin cfg, not display mode? I'm confused now!

[bmaselli13]

This all happens when it boots up. Currently, I am using autostart to launch fruitbox ( /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart)

This is the last line in that file @lxterminal -e /home/bmaselli/fruitbox/./fruitbox

[chundermike]

I'm getting a bit out of my depth now, as I've never seen these type of issues before. Dare I say it, maybe worth starting from scratch? Sorry, not a lot of help I know.

[bmaselli13]

It's ok. II appreciate any guidance you've already given. HUGE fan of the product. I'll continue on and see. Thanks!

[bmaselli13]

I thought the issue was with the skin cfg, not display mode? I'm confused now!

The display mode isn't affecting anything. This is all about the cfg file issue.

[chundermike]

I will keep.thinking about the issue you have...if I manage to reproduce it I'll let you know.

[bmaselli13]

Thanks. Appreciate it.
