Blank Screen #28

Open GADify opened 3 years ago

GADify commented 3 years ago

Got everything mostly working (even the clickwheel) but I get nothing but a blank screen after X11 starts.

While I'm usually fine using X11, this openbox stuff is all new to me and it just doesn't seem to be working.

If I startx manually I get the following:

(process:879): WARNING : 20:40:13.509: xdg-autostart.vala:125: Error: Error opening directory ?/home/pi/.config/autostart?: No such file or directory

Any help is appreciated.

I assume this is from .xsession-errors in the pi home directory. The WARNING is nothing; if you create that file--probably even if empty--you shouldn't see the warning again.

As for the others, I think all but the last is normal; at least I see them in my logs too and my setup works. Not sure why you get the pigpio error; you should check to make sure you executed these when you set up your SD card:

wget https://github.com/joan2937/pigpio/archive/master.zip unzip master.zip cd pigpio-master make sudo make install

The blank screen is just because you disabled the mouse cursor and no programs are running in openbox. Something went wrong with the spotifypod.py script, and there are a number of possibilities. Read through issues #21 and #22 for some hints.
