installing qlcplus to use with CP #52

Closed Prepete closed 6 years ago

Prepete commented 6 years ago

Hi there, I run in problems installing qlcplus. Although everything is compiled and installed on my pi I'm unable to start it from CP. When I start an X-session I can start qlc and use it.

magdesign commented 6 years ago

can you start qlcplus from commandline under x with: qlcplus -f

Prepete commented 6 years ago

Yes, I only can start it when I'm in "desktop" mode. (ESC, sudo startx, from menu "run", "qlcplus -f")

Are you using a PocketVJ built from scratch or which build number are you using (eg.: 3.3) ? Are the other x related functions like Slideshow or VNC Screensharing working ?

Prepete commented 6 years ago

I bought an preconfigured SD card from you and tried to update it to the current version. How can I check the build number? X related functions don't work.

magdesign commented 6 years ago

When PocketVJ is booting up, you will see logo and build number. It looks like you messed something with X window system. Can you describe what all you did on the OS?

Prepete commented 6 years ago

I updated everything through aptitude, installed all necessary packages and followed your instruction from the README.md

The build is 3.1

magdesign commented 6 years ago

never ever make a sudo apt-get upgrade ! There is nowhere in the update instructions written you should do that! If you do it will mess up some important things on the system. For example the whole X window system settings. For updating always use the update link from www.pocketvj.com and using the CP update function. Is there any chance to revert what you did ?

I can restore an image that I made before. How can I properly update my system to use QLC+, VNC, etc.?

magdesign commented 6 years ago

If you restore your backup image, VNC and all the stuff should work out of the box. If you want to install QLC+ just install it with all dependencies written on their webpage, then it should also work out of the box. Remember not to make a sudo apt-get upgrade.

Could you fix this issue?

Prepete commented 6 years ago

Everything is working fine now and I was able to restore pvj with my backup. Thank you for the support!
