Display/wifi/account/plugins problem

Hello.

Till today I was using volumio on rapsberry pi 4 with monitor without problems.
I bought Chinese 7 inch display and problems started…
After several hours of tries, I got system with volumio, touch display and Spotify plugin.
And now the problem. System after reboot loosing connection with WiFi and my account - my login is replaced with MyVolumio “blank” account and generally nothing works… no connection to phone, no possibility to connect to WiFi.
What to do?

Are you able to provide a log?

The last configuration that still works.

logs.volumio.org/volumio/Hj9Ha34.html

With touch screen plugin but without Spotify plugin…

Now it even doesn’t play.

Your log has 100+ errors.

Please take a new SD, flash volumio.
Don’t add the display, only do the 1ste Volumio install and add Spotify.
And test.

New SD card is necessary?

I would advise it, so the current one is your backup.
As you mention that when enabling the display everything fails…

it can only get better😉
I’ll try.

Edit:
it is even worse :frowning: after “fresh” installation on blank card I am even unable to connect via smartphone app or local network, so I couldn’t try for plugins.
After several tries I got acces but not on my account and on MyVolumio account…

No idea what to do.

One thing I noticed is wrong system date (middle of December) and system is not updating it.

Hey @Grg,

Can you tell us more about your Raspberry Pi board?

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "Model" && cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "Revision"

Firmware version

sudo vcgencmd bootloader_version

Check if clock on your SBC can force time sync

date
sudo date -s "$(wget -qSO- --max-redirect=0 google.com 2>&1 | grep Date: | cut -d' ' -f5-8)Z"

If the last two commands show discrepancy this will suggest that your access-point or DHCP on your router is having some hiccup serving UDP on ports 123 and 1023 or misconfigured time source reference.

Kind Regards,

Some information:

RPi board: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5
Firmware: version: 8ba17717fbcedd4c3b6d4bce7e50c7af4155cba9 (release).

I checked date and system date is OK now, but after second command i got:

date: invalid date ’ google.com 2>&1 | grep Date: | cut -d -f5-8)Z’

Attaching a LOG:

http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/HCQX2Vj.html

/bin/bash -c "sleep 1; /usr/bin/sudo /bin/date -s \"$(/usr/bin/curl -s --head http://google.com | grep ^Date: | sed 's/Date: //g')\""

See:

This is very odd. From my Volumio system:

sudo date -s "$(wget -qSO- --max-redirect=0 google.com 2>&1 | grep Date: | cut -d' ' -f5-8)Z"
[sudo] password for volumio:

What do you get with:

ping google.com

Kind Regards,

nerd, wheaten:
ping replies well.
I did what wheaten adviced me.

now i have same date after both commands :slight_smile:

so i have now fresh working system (it plays web radio well) without any plugins.

Yeah I know. pffff @nerd :rofl:

Please follow the instruction to install the date as service, so it is resolved for ever.

Now install Spotify => Check
Install “Touch Display” => Check.

@Wheaten’s magic works every time :rofl:

Yeah it’s lonely at the top.

But no clue why your command failed, as it’s also working on my systems. But I will never tell :innocent:

Wheaten - what instruction? I did what You wrote in the post no 10 ??

Log after spotify:

After touch screen :slight_smile:

http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/VsbFpQN.html

It works now normally but on the computer monitor…

Please report your issues with the screen here:

I still didn’t moved from monitor to touch screen.
I try to find the right way to do this. USB first? Than hdmi? I do t know? And I wonder how not to spoil well installed system :wink:

create a backup of the SD with Win32DiskImager.

No possibility to read sd card in such program.

In that circumstances I tried to connect my screen despite that.

After adding anything (hdmi resolution etc) to userconfig.txt, my system is unable to connect to WiFi. When I remove additional entries - connection is possible :slight_smile:
Wtf?
