Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Starting piCorePlayer without on screen console-messages possible?

The devices (Amplifier, Sat-Receiver and RPI) are hidden in the
cupboard, but are controlled via CEC. So the TV is the single input
device...

Why do you have a screen at all?

I thought about it, but when I listen to music I just don‘t want any
visual disturbances. ;-)

Glad you got this fixed, but I'm curious why you don't think about using
Jivelite?  This will give you a nice "now playing" screen option, and
you can set timeouts for the differents modes (playing, paused, off) so
you don't have to worry about the OLED.

I finally found a solution for me: setting a „screensaver“ in
cmdline.txt. The TV screen is on but black - which is sufficient for the
OLED. 

Changed: consoleblank=0 -> consoleblank=1 logo.nologo

I don‘t know which one did it or if both are necessary, I close my
investigation due to having a solution.

Or, could you just install Jivelite on pcp and then set the screen saver
to blank?

No that wont work, as init runs long before a restore of your backup is
done.  You would need to create a new initrd archive with that file in
it, then add it after the main initrd in config.txt

Also, I believe piCore only operates in single user mode.   If someone
wants some help testing,  Here is how to do it.


Code:


  tc@MyOffice:~$ ce
  tc@MyOffice:/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce$ mkdir -pv add-initrd/etc
  created directory: 'add-initrd/'
  created directory: 'add-initrd/etc'
  tc@MyOffice:/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce$ cd add-initrd/etc/
  tc@MyOffice:/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/add-initrd/etc$ cp /etc/inittab .
  tc@MyOffice:/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/add-initrd/etc$ vi inittab
  tc@MyOffice:/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/add-initrd/etc$ cd ..
  tc@MyOffice:/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/add-initrd$ sudo find | sudo cpio -o -H newc | 
gzip -9 > addinitrd.gz
  tc@MyOffice:/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/add-initrd$ m1
  tc@MyOffice:/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/add-initrd$ c1
  tc@MyOffice:/mnt/mmcblk0p1$ mv /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/add-initrd/addinitrd.gz .
  tc@MyOffice:/mnt/mmcblk0p1$ vi config.txt
  tc@MyOffice:/mnt/mmcblk0p1$ cd
  tc@MyOffice:~$ u1
  



When editing the config.txt, here is how to add the additional initrd
file. Find the initramfs line after the [PIX] tag for the pi that you
are testing.

Code:


  [PI3]
  initramfs initrd_pcp_10.3.gz,initrd-4.19.122v7.gz,addinitrd.gz followkernel
  kernel kernel419122v7.img

Try changing the tty1 line in /etc/inittab from:


Code:

tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty -nl /sbin/autologin 38400 tty1



to


Code:

tty1:1:respawn:/sbin/getty -nl /sbin/autologin 38400 tty1



So that you only get a login on the console in single user mode.  You
will then need to add etc/inittab to /opt/.filetool.lst and run "pcp bu"
before rebooting.

There is a "noautologin" bootcode.

I have not tried it so I don't know what, if any, consequences it has to
the piCorePlayer booting process.

Pushing up again. I‘m searching for the same solution. As my multimedia
is controlled via CEC over the TV, this is always running when playing
music. Is it possible to get no video output? I have a OLED and these
don‘t like static pixels.

Hi Paul,

For future reference: I can confirm this does work. All output from
pcp_startup.sh gets redirected.
As bootlocal.sh is in the /opt directory it needs a [Backup] for the
changes to be saved.

Thanks
Greg

hi George_,

Did you do a [Backup] or $pcp bu before rebooting?

Remember, pCP is RAM based, changes are usually in RAM and need to
backed up to mydata.tgz.

Greg

Hello Paul,
thank you for your advice. I changed the command in /opt/bootlocal.sh as
you suggested, but there is no change. The message of the start of pCP
still appeares. As this is only a minor thing for me, I'll leave it as
that.
Regards George

The end of  /opt/bootlocal.sh calls /pcp_startup.sh

Code:


  /home/tc/www/cgi-bin/pcp_startup.sh 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/pcp_boot.log
  



So - if you edit that to send output directly to /var/log/pcp_boot.log
rather than to tee then it might well do what you want.
perhaps

Code:


  /home/tc/www/cgi-bin/pcp_startup.sh > /var/log/pcp_boot.log 2>&1
  



and then remember to do it again each time you update.
