I've managed to create the config file & rebooted. It now reboots to the attached screen. I'll go through Xen's procedure again & see if i can spot any mistakes in what I've done.<br /><br /> In the config file, should the address of the file be written as:<br /><br /> exec --no-startup-id xfce4-terminal -e "node /home/pi/index.js" --hide-menubar --hold<br /><br /> or:<br /><br /> exec --no-startup-id xfce4-terminal -e "node index.js" --hide-menubar --hold ?<br /><br /> I've stuck with the second of those lines.<br /><br /> I've ploughed through Xen's (very clear) instructions a couple of times and can't see any errors in what I've done.<br /><br /> I'm assuming that raspi-config should continue to be set to log me into the console, not the GUI?<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 31 Jan 2016 23:05 by MANTHORP</div> </div> <div class="message_attachments"> <span>Attachments:</span> <ul> <li><span class="image attach"></span><a href="get_attachment.php?webtag=DEFAULT&hash=78cc8295a90727b0aa1e99835e9ce842&filename=Bootscreen.jpg" target="_blank">Bootscreen.jpg</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41672.100&return_msg=41672.100" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41672.100"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41672_101"></a><div class="message" id="message_41672_101"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Drew (X3N0PH0N)<span class="message_time"> 1 Feb 2016 03:51</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Manthorp <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 1 Feb 2016 06:59"></span></span> <span class="message_count">101 of 101</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41672.101">41672.101</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41672.100#a41672_100" target="_self">41672.100</a></div> <div class="message_body"> That screenshot shows i3 running. So it's mostly there. The bottom bar is showing though - need to get rid of that. And the terminal doesn't seem to be running - need to fix that.<br /><br /> Either of those lines should work since index.js is right in your home folder (the canonical one's a bit 'better', it'll still work if i3 or node decide their current working directory is not home).<br /><br /> That screen is so cute <span class="emoticon e_embarrassed" title=":-$"><span class="e__">:-$</span></span> <br /><br /> I'm going to test some things and then post again.<br /><br /><br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41672.101&return_msg=41672.100" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41672.101"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </body>
