Hi Ducan and others,
I have tried last night freevo svn 11342 with kaa svn 3862.
The webserver is indeed started in the background with freevo
webserver --daemon. (SOLVED)
One of the problems that still persists is that freevo itself is not
passing the intro screen.
I try to explain the situation a bit better:
Begin situation: no freevo related process is running.
When I start freevo, freevo on the shell prompt. the intro screen
is displayed but stopped when the progress bar is full. I never get
to the menu.
(The main-1001.log file is generated change compared with last time I
tried the svn.)
I think that the problem is the way how the webserver is automatically
started from the freevo process; this is what I see when I do ps ax
| grep freevo:
6731 pts/0S+ 0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/freevo
6735 pts/0Sl+0:04 python
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/main.py
6745 pts/0S+ 0:00 sh -c /usr/bin/freevo webserver start
6746 pts/0S+ 0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/freevo webserver start
6749 pts/0S+ 0:00 python
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/helpers/webserver.py webserver
start
I believe that the word start should have been --daemon for process
6745 and/or 6746. The webserver is running and is responsive to
requests.
I do get the freevo main menu when I kill process 6746.
I think that this was my fault I hadn't noticed that the freevo script
was being used in unexpected places such as the www plug-in.
If you are using the www plugin (plugin.activate('www')) and starting
the webserver from the command line then remove the plug-in activation
from the local_conf.py. IMHO having the www plug-in causes more problems
than it solves; why do we need to start the plug-in when freevo starts
rather than when the machine starts?
(I do not have this problem when I start the webserver in advance
before I start freevo but freevo is complaining a bit on the prompt
about that situation: webserver still running, run 'webserver --stop'
to stop noting is shown in the log file.)
I have one error message (coming from the weather plugin) but I do not
care too much about that now.
ERROR: global name 'NetworkException' is not defined
Which weather plug-in?
But a more inportant item is that the system shutdown functionality
is not really working.
Freevo shutdown (the freevo process stops) but the computer not (the
shutdown/halt command is never issued). This is both true for the menu
option shutdown system as the automatic shutdown timer.
This should be fixed too, another place where the freevo script was
being used.
I have this in my local_config.py
SYS_SHUTDOWN_CMD = /home/freevo/bin/sysshutdown.sh halt
SYS_RESTART_CMD = /home/freevo/bin/sysshutdown.sh reboot
(sysshutdown.sh is a little wrapper script arround sudo shutdown -h
now (or -r now))
And that worked well with svn release 11227.
Is the variable name changed or is it something more in the internals
of freevo/kaa?

Re: [Freevo-users] SVN version 11339 is not working?
You won't see that in the log the last message that you will see is 'mga:osd.shutdown()' before the shutdown reboot command is actually run. I got a osd.shutdown() in the log file and a short study of the (auto)shutdown.py shows that that is indeed the last debug command is before the externel shutdown script is called. Can you also try commenting out the osd.shutdown() line in plugins/shutdown.py inside the shutdown function (there are 2 lines that need commenting out) to see if that solves the problem, I've seen similar problems and this is the way I sorted the problem. I had to comment the osd.shutdown() in the autoshutdown.py script and in that case was the shutdown and restart of the pc working again. (Is the problem the pygame.quite() call in the osd.shutdown() function?) What I did notice that the autoshutdown.py has a lot in common with the shutdown.py but that the dualhead support for the Matrox graphics cards is not included in the autoshutdown plugin. One final question do you have kaa.display installed? Yes, I think so. I have installed the complete kaa package and I have a kaa/display subdirectory in my site-packages directory. How bad is that?

The attached log file shows that the autoshutdown plugin is starting to shutdown the system (other plugins are closed) but the pc is never really shutdown.

Good to know that the latest SVN versions of Freevo and KAA are working. I will try them this evening and use them as base to debug what is going wrong in my configuration. I did for sure not use the correct options on the command line. And I did see a lot of changes too the KAA system and the process handling. Maybe that there is somewhere the reason of my troubles.

I am wondering what to do: 1. Should I check and debug my configuration more (Ubuntu 8.04 with freevo run not as root) and give more feedback on what I have / find. 2. Or just wait a couple of days until the development is on a bit more stable level. What is your advice?
