And it will not fill the hole screen on like running in 1/4 of the screen after reboot.

And where is the script that run after a reboot.

What's the output device ? A HDMI TV ? A touchscreen ? A VGA monitor with an adapter ?

Full details please. I don't have the time to ask 1000 questions to understand what you're doing.

By the way, you don't launch QLC+ with the qlcplus command. Read the documentation and you'll find out there's a script for it (/etc/init.d/qlcplus) and you need to do

Code: Select all

sudo service qlcplus stop
sudo service qlcplus start

Sorry for my english. :-)
I have run the rpi 3 on my hdmi monitor no problem.
Then i have updatet the system, with sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
When i reboot i get theat screen shot (just without the help screen)
I can't resize it "by usinge the button i the qlcplus"
I cant close it down.

Then when i connect to i my a tty program from my windows computer and login vil pi and raspberry.
then i write qlcplus -f resize at the command promp, its ok (but the other (startet version) still layes under the new program. And there is no "close" the qlcplus button)

and when i teminate my tty login its all gone (That i can understand)

But the rest??

Hope this helps and you understand what iam writing (I am danish) :-)

If i change this line in /ect/init.d/qlcplus
QLCPLUS_OPTS="--web --operate --overscan"

to

QLCPLUS_OPTS="--web --operate --overscan --fullscreen resize"

its starts in fullscreen.

But still no button to shut it down :-(

Thanks for the info.
Indeed kernel changed from 4.4 to 4.9 and they changed how cpuinfo is formatted too.
That's why QLC+ is not recognizing that it is running on a Raspberry Pi.
I think for now you need to stick to my image and eventually update all packages except for the Linux kernel.

This will be fixed with my next image.

Thanks, for your answer. :-)
How log to new update?
Is there a way to make a shutdown key, in the console?

And keep up the grate work you are doing :-) Love you program.
Just got a $0.86 usb soundcart to run on it to with mic in :-)

Hi,
I have got pretty much the same problem, since I did "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".
However QLC+ uses only 1/4 of the screen (upper left corner)

Even worse: I cannot get into a terminal session any more, as the button
to exit QL+ has disappeared.

How can I start a terminal session or prevent QLC from starting up?

A new image version will be released soon, please be patient.
In the meantime don't do a package upgrade.
The image is consistent to work with the packages of the date it has been released on.

Hi,
thanks for the quick answer.
Actually I found meanwhile that the "resize fullscreen" option does work,
also for the RDP session. The "--nowm" option doesn't work for me yet.
Looking forward to the next image! Thanks!

That's because it hasn't been released yet ! (you probably found it in a TEST version, right ?)
Anyway, that's the option that will restore QLC+ correct screen resizing in the next RPi image.
