Autostarts but doesn't run, will run on restart
-
@ember1205 yes, that chromium desktop thing is a problem…
I posted an issue on MM github back in january.
stop MM…
then
cd ~ rm -rf .config/chromium rm -rf .config/electronnote the dot in front of config…
(one of those commands might fail with not found)then restart mm
another user also cannot get rid of that. he went to midori.
I added midori support for the run-start.sh script…i haven’t seen this except on armv6l devices… (pi0w/pi1)
-
What’s the goal?
I have .config/chromium and .config/Electron with the latter being two years old and the former having a current date (I switched to Chromium because Electron was a ton of trouble).
This is all on Bullseye which I upgraded to (yeah, yeah, I know… don’t upgrade, fresh install, not supported, etc.). Up to that point, it was on Buster and ran fine.
Incidentally… I have an automated routine to bring the RPi down gracefully based on a virtual switch setting on a home automation controller. Here’s the gist:
- Set the virtual switch to “on”
- Every five minutes, the RPi queries the status of the switch
- If the switch is set to “1” (on), it launches a script with sudo
The script does the following:
- Using cec-client, it puts the Soundbar into Standby (off)
- Using cec-client, it puts the TV into standby (off)
- Sets the status of the virtual switch to “1” (on) to ensure that any other items that trigger of the state change of that switch will run as well
- Sets the status of the virtual switch to “0” (off)
- Sends an IFTTT message using WebHooks / curl
- Does a “shutdown now”
If I comment out the cec commands, it starts up incorrectly. If I manually just do a “shutdown now” and boot it back up, it starts up incorrectly.

@ember1205 what pi?
if armv6l, use the legacy buster image… do NOT upgrade to bullseye
uname -a will show u
the deletes were to wipe out any saved config data for the browser so it would come up clean…
(not desktop.) supposedly -
armv71
I’ve modified my shutdown control to stop MM, wipe the .config/chromium directory, and then power off. This allows chromium to load the correct information when it does finally launch.
There still remains an issue, however, with the run-start.sh script actually launching the chromium browser on boot. The log file basically ends with “0|mm | Ready to go! Please point your browser to: http://0.0.0.0:8080” on boot up. “pm2 restart mm” correctly brings everything up every time.
Here’s what the log looks like when it boots:

@ember1205 ok,
lets edit run-start.sh t- enable some more debugging
in the 1st line add -x to the change the 1st line to
#!/bin/bash -xthen pm2 flush
then do the reboot which causes mm not to come up.then pm2 logs --lines=100
the debug output will come out in the error listing of the two listings displayed

I’m seeing a discrepancy where on boot it’s collecting xorg= blank versus xorg=755 on a stop/start after boot.
-
@ember1205 yes… I see that too…
-
It almost seems like the X desktop isn’t fully initialized when the pgrep command executes and it isn’t collecting info on the process as a result. The restart NEVER happens until X is fully initialized which means that it -can- collect info on the process from a restart or stop/start.
