Beginners • Re: Please help .. Headless program startup issue (service) still cannot find what causes auto start up to fail

thank you @thagrol.

i have made the suggested changes only did not understand one part:

In /home/display/startupDisplay.sh replace ~ with /home/display
In /home/display/startupDisplay.sh change
Code: Select all

source ~/Bus-Departure-Board/bin/activate

inside the startupDisplay i made the suggested change but i dont get the first suggested change here

/home/display/startupDisplay.sh replace ~ with /home/display

You have a copule of lines in that file that use the ~ character as part of the path to a file. ~ should be expanded to the real path to the user's home directory. The suggestion was to rule out that being a problem by removing that expansion and replacing it with the actual path.

So source ~/Bus-Departure-Board/bin/activate becomes source /homer/display/Bus-Departure-Board/bin/activate

did the rest but now it won't even manually startup with Now greets me with: Screenshot 2024-07-04 164309.jpg

the result from is:

So what's in /home/display/startupDisplay.log?

Does sudo journalctl -u startupDisplay shed any more light on things?

BTW, you do not need to enable the service every time. You do that once and it sticks unless you disable it.
