Hey,

I did a lot of programming on a working raspberry QLC+ installation.

Web access also worked for me.

I changed the "boot-project" and hit reboot. After that, the raspberry sticks at

Raspberry GNU/Linux 9 raspberrypi tty1
raspberrypi login:


when booting. How can I get back to auto-start QLC+?

Best regards

Just remove the autostart project.
If I remember correctly, it's in the .qlcplus directory.

would be interesting to know why it hangs though

Hi,


I renamed the .qlcplus folder into qlcplus.

Now, QLC+ starts by itself after booting. But when I try to open the show, QLC+ crashes with the message "segmentation fault". Is there any way to repair the show?


Best regards

Telepathically, no.
If you share the project, maybe yes.

Ok, I fixed it.

I opened the .qxw with nano and threw out block by block. After I removed a certain sequence, the project worked again :D .

Later, I found out, what might be the problem: the file is broken/empty if you edit the "autostart"-project, hit save an reboot. Since then, I'm working in a different project, safe it, copy it into the folder and rename it to "autostart.qxw". No more problems so far.

Thanks!

Hi,
i'm not sure, if this problem is realy similar, but I have also a problem to load a default set Project after rebooting.


when I applay my Project as default on qlc+ and reboot the raspberry pi, it failes to start the Web Interace and the Desktop.
But the output of

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl status qlcplus
says is running and no issues.
When I delete the autostart.qxw file in /root/.qlcplus/, it start as normal with a planc project.

I have this issue just for files with self created fictures.
Here are my Files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

I use a raspberry Pi 4.


Thanks for help.

I'd suggest connecting a monitor to your Raspi, hooking on a network cable, and starting from there debugging...
You have way too many parameters to deal with

I too have had issues editing the autostart file on the pi. If changes are needed to the autostart file, I usually make changes this way:

Quit QLC+ and return to the command line.
Rename the autostart.qxw file in /root/.qlcplus to something else as a backup
I transfer my new .qxw file to /root/.qlcplus and rename it to autostart.qxw
I reboot the Pi to let QLC+ utilize this the new autostart.qxw file on the next boot

This allows you to keep the autostart configuration on the Pi
