MM current version on Raspberry Pi 5 cannot turn off monitor

@JohnGalt said in MM current version on Raspberry Pi 5 cannot turn off monitor:
@jbat66 - thanks for the offer. If you do wind up sharing your work, I will take a look and see if it works for me.
I don’t run any remote control module, and don’t find the “MMM-remote” you reference when I search. I do, however, find at least two (2) different modules called “MMM-Remote-Control” by two different authors. Do you mean one of those?
This one: https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control
Sorry I should have been more clear.

@1a2a3a said in MM current version on Raspberry Pi 5 cannot turn off monitor:
vc4.force_hotplug
That does appear to work! So far I have tried it on two different Pi 4 instances, and each responded to a script called in crontab to turn off the monitor display, and then a script to turn it back on, as expected.
Thanks.

@1a2a3a Thank you Thank you Thank you… That worked for me as well… Message me, and I will get you a pizza like I promised to anyone who could get my pi4 running latest rasbian to turn off the monitor. Adding vc4.force_hotplug=1 to the end of the line in /boot/cmdline.txt did the trick along with using wlr-randr!!
I’m serious about the pizza.

@jbat66 all good mate. I’m likely in a different geographic region to you. But anyway it was an issue that someone in GitHub that resolved for me so I can’t really take credit. I would point you to the GitHub but it was quite awhile back hence I can’t find the link anymore, therefore I went into my txt file and gave you guys the code.
-
@jbat66 I know this thread isn’t about getting MMM-Remote-Control to update with this but I was curious if you know how I could go about that.
-
@devonian69 Do you mean just a normal update for the module?
-
Hey guys,
So how did you get this to work? vc4.force_hotplug ive added that to /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt
But now what?
Im running Raspbian on a Pi 5, so not sure if all of this is even for bookwork :(
Thanks

@liminal1 note that rapios on pi4 and 5 use a new display manager called Wayland.
so all the commands for display MGMT have changed. see the commands posted above.
or set the os back to x11. see the raspi-config command

or set the os back to x11. see the raspi-config commandI did try those commands, they are not working for me. Maybe I need more context for that (which is essentially what I was asking for :) Or I switch back to a slower and less efficient display model that negates having a Pi 5. Is that a correct asumption?
Maybe I wasn’t clear, but Im just asking if anyone does have it working on the Pi 5 with Bookworm. What did you use and how did you do it?
Thank you :)
-
@liminal1 the posts above say it was working on bookworm.
-
@liminal1 doesn’t matter 4 or 5. As long as bookworm wayland, it’s working fine. For what’s worth, I’m on a 5.

@sdetweil said in MM current version on Raspberry Pi 5 cannot turn off monitor:
If I create that script and run it, it brings up a logon page :(

Thanks mate :)
But what is working fine? Which part :)
Im quite new to the Pi
Thanks

@liminal1 that makes no sense.
you are running this from a terminal window, right
ctrl-alt-t on the desktop.
nothing login related there

Yes

Its a touch screen, what does this do?
nothing login related there
Not sure what you mean?
-
@liminal1 the terminal window has nothing to do with login.
your system should boot to the desktop
then open a terminal window
and type the commands aboveor use an ssh session from your pc
-
Yes,
So this is what is happening to me when I try the script or the command

@liminal1 are you doing this over VNC?
I have never seen this on the monitor attached to the pi
-
I just cant believe how trash this all is, not MM, but just the Pi 5 and wayland. And if you do switch back to X11 as a lot of people are suggesting. Everything else breaks.
I give up, I think its pretty rubbish Pi foundation selling something that’s still so undeveloped.
Anyway, thanks for trying :)

@liminal1 times and technology are always changing. it’s a constant battle
