Volumio hangs after setup & reboot and touch screen plugin

Help and Support

So, after configuring via web UI (but not installing the plugin) on the subsequent reboot, Volumio did not reach the login screen anymore, right?

Does not sound promising…

If you have a fresh SD card at hand you may try that to rule out a defective SD card.

@gvolt it seems that pi imager will corrupt the bootloader but baleno etcher seems to work oke.

yes, that is correct. I’ve powered down overnight and restarted, I now have the terminal login but the keyboard still creates multi keystrokes. Volumio has not started, I have both terminal windows tty1 and tty2 (ctr+alt+F1 or F2). I’ve ordered another card from the PiHut, in the mean time I will try BalenaEtcher on my current card (Sandisk also from the PiHut)

Thanks for you help.

i think your keyboard doesn’t like the pi try a other keyboard…

11

I’ve tried both the keyboards I have and in all the Pi usb ports, same problem.

12

BalenaEtcher has the same result (after the initial boot and setup, hangs on the Volumio screen). In the mean time I’ve flashed a new image of RPi 32-bit using the RPi Imager. Booted the Pi and got to the desktop no problem. The keyboard works as expected (no double keystrokes) and I can get to the terminal window and run fdisk as a sudo. It’s not what I want of coarse as I’m trying to build a music server but it has confirmed the keyboard problem is something to do with Voumio OS.
Looking at this other post it seems like the same issue with reboot?

13

i think you have to first connect it with a wire… if it’s have the same issue like the 3.079
it switching wifi off if you reboot.

14

Maybe but image

15

yeah i had a lot of 2.882 with a lot of problems… try a wire …
i can fix this with my screen you have to connect a wire…

16

Ethernet cable (wire)?

17

yess… i have it about that …
if the 2.882 has the same issue as the 3.079 wifi will reset wifi and switches off…

18

OK, thanks. I’ll try another flash with Volumio and no WiFi.

I just can’t get this to work. I’ve now got three SD cards, I’ve replaced my original 32GB for another and also tried a 16GB card, all new. Non of them boot after the initial install, I can get the UI on my PC and go through the ‘Run first config wizard’. If I leave the UI open at some point it becomes unresponsive, if I reboot I sometimes get the command prompt on the touch screen or the Volumio startup screen but no UI from my PC. I’ve ditched 2.882 and downloaded 3.080 This loaded without a problem and I don’t get the ‘jumpy’ keyboard at the command prompt as mentioned earlier. I can open the UI on my PC and play tracks on my NAS media server.
Now I just need to get the touch display to work. I searched on here to find a way install the plugin manually on 3.080 but can only find old posts for 2.xx
Any pointers please ?

  1. Connect to Volumio via SSH.

  2. Download the plugin package

wget https://github.com/volumio/volumio-plugins/raw/gh-pages/plugins/volumio/armhf/miscellanea/touch_display/touch_display.zip
  1. Create a directory for unzipping the plugin package
mkdir touch_display
  1. Unzip the plugin package to the newly created directory
miniunzip touch_display.zip -d touch_display
  1. Change into the directory with the unzipped files
cd touch_display
  1. Install the plugin
volumio plugin install

When the installation process has finished you will see some finalize message (don’t remember the wording in detail) on the command line. You will probably have to hit “Ctrl+c” to return to the prompt.

  1. Optionally delete the downloaded file and the unzipped files:

rm touch_display.zip
rm -r touch_display

  1. Enable the plugin from the UI as usual.

Thanks Gvolt. Didn’t get a definitive ‘Finalize message’ and had an error on the touch display but failed to capture it. I also had an error when enabling

Capture1
Capture11920×1040 356 KB

I’ve re-booted but no touch display function. Sorry to be a pain, any idea ?

22

If you did not get a finalize message, how did you know the installation process had finished?

I suggest to try to uninstall the plugin and after that reinstall it. You may follow the installation process in the terminal window.

23

I’m guessing it installed as it appears in the Plugin section of the UI. I’ll uninstall and try again. Thanks

24

don’t use the 3.080 it’s half broken use one of the older 3.xx
next week there will be a new release.

25

Thanks dvo. I can try both.

Finally got this working. Fresh flash of 3.080 on a 16GB card plus installed the Touch Display manually and got the ‘Finalizing Install’ message.
Also connected to my WD MyBook Live NAS drive after I created a user and password on the drive. I also had to enable DNS Server to get it connected.
Thanks to dvo and gvolt for your assistance.
