VIM 4 Without HDMI Connected

arts-projects · July 25, 2023, 1:21pm

Which system do you use? Android, Ubuntu, OOWOW or others?

Ubuntu

Which version of system do you use? Khadas official images, self built images, or others?

Khadas Image

Please describe your issue below:

Using the VIM4 with no HDMI connected - ideally we could find a way to get the device to boot to the OS without a HDMI connection - rather than remaining on the splash screen.

Some programs do function without the HDMI connected - however we are seeing a large amount of data in the SYSlog relating to no display detected - making the syslog file multiple GB in size very quickly.

Is there a way to work around this?

Post a console log of your issue below:

We have the vim4 running headless, I shut down desktop manager and have not noticed what you are seeing. Also, you can go into kernel config and turn off some of the messages.

Hello @arts-projects

Which image you used? Could you provide steps to reproduce this issue?

arts-projects · July 27, 2023, 3:17pm

Hi,

We used the Gnome Linux image - it has all the latest updates - though I havent yet tried a clean image - I will just to prove it.

I don’t think I have kept the original file - we image devices from oowow - Though it would have been August 22

To reporduce the issue all we have to do is disconnect a HDMI and reboot - the logging starts imediately and constantly loops. We have increased the log rotation as the result is the device runs out of disk space due to this.

We sadly cant just disable the Desktop Manager as we do require the ability to connect a HDMI in some occasions

Thanks

Andy

Hello @arts-projects

@ivan.li will help you with this issue.

ivan.li · August 9, 2023, 10:24am

@arts-projects Sorry for the late reply, try the following firmware, do you still have this problem?

Please click : http://dl.khadas.com/products/vim4/firmware/ubuntu/emmc/vim4-ubuntu-22.04-gnome-linux-5.4-fenix-1.5-230425-emmc.img.xz

arts-projects · August 21, 2023, 8:35am

Hi @ivan.li

Sorry I have been away also - hopefully I will get to download and test this next week.

Thanks

“VIM4 X11 Fixup [Khadas Docs]”

follow this to have a try. It could work for me, just the screen resolution is not suitable.

arts-projects · October 27, 2023, 10:49am

Hi Ivan.li,

Sorry its taken some time to get to this - I’ve done a clean install this morning and can confirm the issue still exists in this version.

Disconnect the HDMI and boot the device results in the same data being written to the syslog - also if you connect the HDMI once the device is booted it remains displaying the Khadas splash screen.

Let me know if there are some more steps we can try

Thanks

Andy

I didn’t reproduce the problem you described，as a quick fix, disable the printed lines in the source code.

Is there a lack of power supply causing it to restart.

Hi Ivan,

There is nothing causing it to reboot just following these steps I get the issue,

Install the 230425 image using oowow,

Shut down the vim4

Disconnect the HDMI - power the vim4 back up

SSH to the device is possible - some programs run sucessfully

connect HDMI - just the Khadas logo is shown - programs and SSH continue to function - device does not reboot

Only way to get the desktop to show is to restart the device with the HDMI connected

–

I’ll have a look removing the lines from the syslog

Thanks

Andy
