shutdown screen display

[hondagx35]

Hi Ingo,

isn't that normal behavior? xset dpms only has influence to the Xserver, which is stopped during shutdown/reboot.

That is correct, but with the previous image the display stayed blank on shutdown.
With "setterm -blank force" you can turn off the console, but this doesn't work with shutdown script.

Shutting down rune should turn off the display.
But i'm a bit lost with this, so help would be great to point me to the right direction.

Frank,

did you try something like this from rune_shutdown? Just looked but couldn't find a "setterm" anywhere in the rune tree.

Code: Select all

setterm --term linux --blank force > /dev/tty0 < /dev/tty0

What do you think of this: Video reboot RuneAudio ?

Thanks to Perjan for the bootsplash.

Thats sweet! Perfect user experience, if we could null the raspberry square and keep it a black screen, it'd be perfect

Any chance of this getting merged into main code branch?

You can disable the rainbow splash by adding

Code: Select all

disable_splash=1

to /boot/config.txt

Hi Ingo,

looks good.

A bit more information on how it is done would be nice.

This question I feared. So here is a (not so short) HOWTO. The installation of the splash is only suitable for experienced users. So be warned!

I didn't upgrade the package list (pacman -Syy). So I ran the pacman install commands, looked for the wanted package versions, downloaded and installed them manually (pacman -U <filename>)

Install mkinitcpio, unzip and lzop (don't know if needed)

Code: Select all

pacman -S mkinitcpio
pacman -S unzip
pacman -S lzop

Get, unzip, make and install a patched and RaspBerry-ready version of plymouth-lite from here.

Code: Select all

wget https://github.com/T4d3o/Plymouth-lite/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd Plymouth-lite-master
make && make install

Get @Perjan's bootsplash and save it to /usr/share/plymouth/runeaudio.png

Code: Select all

wget -O /usr/share/plymouth/runeaudio.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/id2vevgkfxnuas4/splash.png\?dl=0


Install plymouth-lite-start.service. Save this file as /usr/lib/systemd/system/plymouth-lite-start.service (Att.: The line ExecStart=... is a long line until EOF)

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=Show Plymouth-lite Start Screen
DefaultDependencies=no
After=systemd-vconsole-setup.service
Before=sysinit.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/bin/echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink ; /usr/bin/echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink ; /usr/bin/chvt 7 ; /usr/bin/ply-image /usr/share/plymouth/runeaudio.png

Make it run on startup

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib/systemd/system
chmod 644 plymouth-lite-start.service
cd sysinit.target.wants
ln -s ../plymouth-lite-start.service

Modify /usr/lib/initcpio/init to this on line 35 (aprox) only add ply-image line

Code: Select all

if [ -n "$earlymodules$MODULES" ]; then
    modprobe -qab ${earlymodules//,/ } $MODULES
fi

ply-image /usr/share/plymouth/runeaudio.png &> /dev/null

run_hookfunctions 'run_hook' 'hook' $HOOKS

Now modify the BINARIES and FILES section of /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to this

Code: Select all

# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image.  This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES="ply-image"

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way.  This is useful for config files.
FILES="/usr/share/plymouth/runeaudio.png"

Now run

Code: Select all

mkinitcpio -g /boot/initrd -v

Add this lines to /boot/config.txt

Code: Select all

#initramfs
initramfs initrd 0x00f00000

# Disable rainbow splash
disable_splash=1

Now you have to add "initrd=0x00f00000 quiet logo.nologo vt.cur_default=1" to /boot/cmdline.txt. Mine now looks like this:

Code: Select all

root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait rootfstype=ext4 console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 selinux=0 plymouth.enable=0 smsc95xx.turbo_mode=N dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 dwc_otg.fiq_enable=1 dwc_otg.fiq_fsm_enable=1 dwc_otg.fiq_fsm_mask=0x3 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 elevator=noop ipv6.disable=1 initrd=0x00f00000 quiet logo.nologo vt.cur_default=1

Add a call to ply-image to /var/www/command/rune_shutdown. Att: "/usr/bin/echo 0 ... /runeaudio.png" is ONE long line! The last lines of mine look like this:

Code: Select all

echo "Stop MPD and unmount shares..."
mpc stop
systemctl stop nginx
sleep 1
systemctl stop mpd
systemctl stop spopd
sleep 1
/usr/bin/echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink ; /usr/bin/echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink ; /usr/bin/chvt 7 ; /usr/bin/ply-image /usr/share/plymouth/runeaudio.png
#export DISPLAY=:0
#xset dpms force off
#sleep 1
umount -aft nfs
umount -aft cifs

Now cross fingers, reboot and have fun.

I came across this thread and I thought I would give it a go on my spare RPi3. It works well on my Odroid thanks to Frank.

Unfortunately, whenever I type in any of the following commands, all I get is a 404 error;

pacman -S mkinitcpio
pacman -S unzip
pacman -S lzop

Am I doing something wrong or are these files simply missing in action now?

[hondagx35]

Hi Andy,

try

Code: Select all

pacman -Sy mkinitcpio
pacman -S unzip
pacman -S lzop

Thanks Frank.

I got those commands working, but the following command failed;

make && make install

Code: Select all

gcc  `pkg-config --cflags libpng`  ply-image.c ply-frame-buffer.c -o ply-image  -lm `pkg-config --libs libpng`
/bin/sh: gcc: command not found
Makefile:3: recipe for target 'ply-image' failed
make: *** [ply-image] Error 127

Obviously I am missing gcc. I gather that is a compiler?

This command also failed;

Code: Select all

wget -O /usr/share/plymouth/runeaudio.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/id2vevgkfxnuas4/splash.png\?dl=0

I checked that address manually and it no longer has the image available.

Oh well, I will just have to wait until that Frank fella releases an image with it on already ...

And no, I'm not cracking the whip here, just sayin'

Thanks again Frank.
