Question

FYI: Octopi moves location of vcgencmd

Opened this issue 2 years ago · 2 comments

Running OctoPi 1.0.0 RC1 and OctoSlack wasn't working. Found the cause in the logs:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd'

Investigated and saw that the underlying OS for this release doesn't put vcgencmd in that folder anymore, it's now located in /bin/vcgencmd

I looked through the configs and didn't see where that path was coded so couldn't propose a change, but there is a simple update:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/vc/bin
sudo ln -s /bin/vcgencmd /opt/vc/bin

Received. Thanks for reporting and sharing the updated path.

I've pushed a change to ideally transparently & efficiently support the new & old paths.
Thanks for reporting this issue, the change will of course be available in the next release.
