Public Alpha Test: Audio Without Compromise - Volumio on Bookworm Begins

[Robert.Hecht]

Hi @nerd ,

OTA on an X86 from 0.062 to 0.063 did work well.

Screen resolution: 3840x2160 (DELL P3223QE) connected to HDMI

“Display Zoom Factor = 120%” seems to be default? I don’t remember changing this parameter ever.

Cheers, Robert

OTA update or fresh install?

Since it only involves the primary boot screen, just a random SD/USB with 0.063 will do

Dear Volumionauts,

Boot logo testing is in full swing - and already proving its worth.

To everyone who’s shared photos, details, and setups so far: thank you. You’ve saved me from debugging blind on a pile of mystery screens. It’s already clear that splash rendering in the real world is half engineering, half cartography.

But we’re not done yet.

The more edge cases we gather now, the less breakage, triage, and last-minute hacks we’ll face when Volumio hits beta and final release.

If you’ve got screens left to test, orientations you didn’t post, or just a fresh power cycle to spare:

• Boot it
• Snap it
• Share it

Please include:

• Display brand / model
• Native resolution
• Connection type (HDMI, DSI, SPI, etc.)
• Rotation (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°)
• Any issues (cropping, clipping, misalignment, text collisions)

This isn’t polish - this is preemptive pain relief. Every photo now saves us a forum thread later.

Let’s keep the momentum. More data now = smoother launch later.

Kind Regards,

[Wheaten]

Hi @nerd !
Yesterday I successful mounted my Nas.
Today I tried to add/mount my usb hd but it was not recognized.
I can see all music files through filezilla sftp with my rpi:s ip-number.

log: http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/rH3G5JF.html

[nerd]

Hey @ClaesM,

Thanks for sharing the log.

I’ve thoroughly analyzed the NAS mounting process, focusing on CIFS activity. Here’s what’s going on:

Volumio attempts to mount your NAS during boot with the following command:

mount -t cifs -o username=,password=,ro,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0666,iocharset=utf8,noauto,soft,vers=2.0 //192.168.50.242/Musik /mnt/NAS/NAS

This fails consistently with:

CIFS: VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation.
CIFS: VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -113

Error -113 corresponds to No route to host, indicating that either:

• The NAS wasn’t reachable yet,
• Or Volumio attempted the mount before the network was fully initialized.

This is likely a boot-time race condition. The system retries, but networking or the NAS availability still isn’t ready at that stage.

To move forward, please try the following:

1. Go to Settings > My Music > Network Drives
2. Remove the NAS entry completely
3. Reboot the system
4. Then add the NAS again with correct credentials (if required) and ensure it uses a valid CIFS version (try vers=3.0 or 2.1 if needed)
5. Reboot again, and if it still fails, share the new log

Also, from SSH, please verify:

ping -c 3 192.168.50.242
smbclient -L //192.168.50.242/ -N
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=guest,password=,vers=2.0 //192.168.50.242/Musik /mnt/NAS/NAS

This will help confirm if the mount works when the system is fully up.

Kind Regards,

[ClaesM]

Hi again!

Thanks for answering me! I will give it a new try tomorrov.
I´m not at all convinced that this is problem with alpha 0.063

Best Regards and huge respect for all your work!

I run Volumio 3 on an old toshiba laptop. Tried .063 today, got to the wizard, but could not connect to my wireless network.
Going back to 3
Cheers

Hey @jocoman,

Thank you for reporting.

Does your old Toshiba laptop have a model number? Or, perhaps WiFi adapter details? On VolumioOS v 3.xxx you can retrieve hardware details with lspci command. Without these, there is not possible to understand the problem; a simple search returned 38k pages to go through.

Kind Regards,

[ClaesM]

Hi again!
Well, I started up my system this morning and everything just work.
Probably it just needed a reboot?
Best Regards / C

• Boot it
• Snap it
• Share it

• Display brand / model : Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2
• Native resolution: 720x1.280 (7’')
• Connection type: SPI (Raspi 5)
• Rotation: 0°
• Any issues: needs 90° rotation (display natively is in portrait mode)

First bootscreen

Second bootscreen

Seems exactly the same as in posting 156 from @ClaesM
Warm regards,
Ralf

Hey @rkorell,

Boot-screen:

• First - v0.062 - non-calibrated
• Second - v0.063 - calibrated (MICRO:1)

Since you are on Raspberry Pi 5, you will need to add to the /boot/userconfig.txt (or upgrade):

[all]
# Match your rotation counter clockwise 0, 90, 180, 270 degree
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-ili9881-7inch,rotation=270

which should produce v0.063 - calibrated (MICRO:0 = FULL)

Kind Regards,

[rkorell]

Dear @nerd,
thanks for this.
The first shot taken is v0.063 - first attempt - NOW disappeared somehow…

Display doesnt change neither for rotation=270 nor for rotation=90.
Touchdisplay config is: rotate=90° which works well.

userconfig.txt is as follows:

# Add your custom config.txt options to this file, which will be preserved during updates
# Power-LED und Status LED  vom Raspberry Pi abschalten
dtparam=pwr_led_trigger=default-on
dtparam=pwr_led_activelow=off
dtparam=act_led_trigger=none
dtparam=act_led_activelow=off
dtparam=eth_led0=4
dtparam=eth_led1=4

[all]
display_auto_detect=1

#display 7Zoll
# raspi 4

#dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4,nohdmi
#dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-ili9881-7inch

#Raspi 5:

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-ili9881-7inch,rotation=90



#### Touch Display rotation setting below: do not alter ####
display_lcd_rotate=1
display_hdmi_rotate=1

???
I’ve taken photos but they are essentially identical to the already posted image (2nd) so I do not repost.
I’ve just even tried rotate instead of rotation

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-ili9881-7inch,rotate=90

• no success…

Regards,
Ralf

[rkorell]

Just found a hint for /boot/cmdline.txt:

Add video=DSI-1:800x480@60,rotate=90 to /boot/cmdline.txt

does something like this make sense?

Ralf
