[ODROID-C2] Touch screen plugin not working

Volumio Development Bug reports
1

I use ODROID C2 with a touch screen and Volumio 2.129. I installed the touch pad plugin and the installation went almost fine. The installation progress showed this and stopped at the last step:

BTW, I don’t have a keyboard connected.

Next, I activated the plugin but the touch screen never showed anything. Any idea how to gather more details and hot to get the plugin working would be much appreciated! :slight_smile:

There are a number of ‘404’ errors there, and it is not clear to me whether Volumio successfully downloaded all of the files it needed. Did you try repeating the installation?

3

Did you perform a apt-get update before installing the Plugin?

Ok, which touchscreen is it? You need to set the correct boot.ini in /boot.
I prepared the boot.ini for the common VU screens. Rename the boot.ini to boot.ini.org (or anything else showing you the initial one), then pick the one you need and rename it to boot.ini
Reboot and you should be ok…

Sorry for my late reply. I tried the installation several times and also on a fresh installation of Volumio. No effect. I didn’t try “apt-get update” yet but will try. My screen is a ODROID VU7. Should this work with the default boot.ini?

If you would only read my post, I already wrote what you need to do. Pick to correct boot.ini and you’re set.

I copied /boot/boot.ini.VU7 to /boot/boot.ini and now I can see something on the screen for the very first time. What I get on the touch screen is this error message: “Please start Chromium as a normal user. To run as root, you must specify an alternate --user-data-dir for storage of profile information.” When I close the error window, it will appear again after two seconds. I tried ten times but the error message doesn’t go away. Any idea how to fix this, please?

OK, it seems we have regression here which slipped past our attention. This worked in previous releases. I’ll check it out the next few days and let you know here…

Issue has been fixed, thanks for reporting.
Please do a factory reset and reinstall the plugin

Great, this solves my issue. Thank you so much!
