#!/bin/sh must be the first line of the script.

monitor udev, you should see what is going on. when you plug/unplug the USB.

Not sure Jeff. It’s sensing the tv is not using the hdmi…..not sure why it doesn’t come back. I wonder if the fkms driver does the same thing…..just be aware that the fkms doesn’t have the noaudio parameter.

Hi Paul,

I replaced "dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,noaudio" with "dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d" in config.txt and all seems to work fine now.

When I posted the dmesg output before I left out a proceeding line which read

rc rc0: two consecutive events of type space

In helping someone else with an IR remote I now realise that this was CEC

This line still appears when I switch TV input but no longer get the

vc4_hdmi 3f902000.hdmi: Unknown register ID 58

Thanks for your help as usual !

Jeff

FYI, I found another one that is not listed in that list : ASUS USB-AC51, also using a 802.11ac Mediatek MT7610U chip. The advantage compared to the other 802.11ac dongles of the list is that it is smaller and cheap (the Linksys AE6000 is small too but old and very hard to find outside of US currently).

Looks like I have bad luck with WiFi dongles !
Here's what I get when I plug my new ASUS USB-AC51 dongle on a PiCorePlayer 7.0.1 :

[ 1347.451699] usb 1-1.5: new high-speed USB device number 6 using dwc_otg

[ 1347.838396] mt76x0u: probe of 1-1.5:1.0 failed with error -2

Any idea ? Should I upgrade to 8.1.0 first? It may be better supported on a more recent kernel?

Thanks, Paul, this really solved the problem!
Although I don't fully understand why: When I executed the scripts manually, they worked. I implemented the same concept under Raspbian - it worked like a charm. However, I take it as is and am happy that it is working now.

Thanks!
Sven

I tried a fresh install of PCP8.1 : same error

We don't have a mediatek firmware extension. I'll try to get a package made this evening.

Hi Paul,

I replaced "dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,noaudio" with "dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d" in config.txt and all seems to work fine now.

The vc4 stuff is still really new, and then throw on cec. ....it has been a struggle for a standard configuration when it comes to displays.

When you run manually, the shell interpreter that you are logged in with understands how to handle the script. When launched from udev, it doesn't know that it is a shell script.

Here is more information than you probably wanted to know.....lol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)

Thank you Paul. That is indeed needed since we don't have the Realtek drivers anymore.

Hi

I did search but couldn't find an answer to this ...

Is there any way to have a notification of pCP updates ( or other component updates) e.g. like LMS?
I don't tend to update on a whim but it's be great to at least have some notice of updates that one could review. Currently I seem to discover new releases by accident.
The notification could be via the UI or via a forum Announce (only) locked thread where each release update notice could be posted (and to which one could subscribe).
Heck, a pCP sub forum would be handy too.
