I’m not sure but the packages raspberrypi-kernel and raspberrypi-bootloader are required by libraspberrypi0 which is a dependency of chromium package.
If you pin and hold both packages, will libraspberrypi0 be installed? In my tries it refused to install in case of missing dependencies.
So i could not install chromium.
No, with the held packages, libraspberrypi0 won’t be installed either, but install procedure will not complain about it either (it’s a firmware update you don’t want anyway, as it would break distribution).
Then the only dependencies problems reported are those described in post #p29708, which I resolved as explained in that post.
From there, plugin install does not fail and Pi boots normally.
Just the plugin does not fully work yet in my case due to X failing to start: maybe it’s a HDMI-specific issue as I do not use DSI port-based screen.
Maybe it’s fine for 7″ Touchscreen Monitor which this plugin is initially intended for?
So not completely resolved yet for me, but should be very close now…
Any idea for the X thing?
The X.org issue may be due to recent packages: there are few articles about that.
So tried to work backwards and find older dependencies which may work (would be interesting to check with X library versions on working 2.041).
The only thing I could get to was to sequentiallysudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core=2:1.16.4-1
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evdev=1:2.9.0-2
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg=1:7.7+7+b1
sudo apt-get install xorg=1:7.7+7+b1and then mark them hold, before installing the plugin (which installed fine). However x session did not work either.
I leave it here in case someone has more success in finding-out this last bit.
thanks for your job its working !! from a clean start its ok.
note : the screensaver settings are not ok on the volumiokiosk.sh file
the “dpms” parameter is missing, i’ve replace “xset 0 0 120” by “xset dpms 0 0 120”
I just installed Volumio on a Raspberry Pi Zero W with Waveshare 5" display. The plugin works, but I’m missing the possibility to change resolution etc., I needed to do this manually.
try this ?? : the screensaver settings are not ok on the volumiokiosk.sh file
the “dpms” parameter is missing, i’ve replace “xset 0 0 120” by “xset dpms 0 0 120”
And still my screen goes blank after several minutes (haven’t timed it). I can go to the plugins section of the UI and set to Inactive and toggle back to Active, and the screen returns - and again goes blank after a few minutes.
