Escape or exit to Linux?

Post by w0iy » Tue Oct 06, 2020 12:36 am

Is it possible to exit Langstone and return to the Linux GUI or CLI?

If this is not an implemented feature, maybe it could be a button adjacent to the current Shutdown.
thanks,

Langstone is designed to run stand alone so there is no need to exit to command line.
If you are logged in then Langstone can be stopped by

cd Langstone
./stop

If you ready need to exit then you can make it think it is running alongside Portsdown by creating a dummy file

/home/pi/rpidatv/bin/rpidatvgui

If Langstone detects this file is present it will add an exit button.

Actually I have just realised that due to a bug in the software the exit button is always active, detection of Portsdown only enables the button text.

So you already have an unlabelled exit button to the left of the shutdown button!
