Screen frozen but music working

Post by Skyline_tm »

So I had hudiy running fine on my Pi5 but ever since I installed Trixie once, the touchscreen freezes after about 15-25min and even after going back to bookworm it continues to do so. Even on a completely new installation.
I tried troubleshooting with Gemini but when switching to X11 instead of Wayland hudiy doesnt start autmatically anymore and switching back just breaks the desktop.
What can I do? The music keeps on playing after the screen freezes, so i guess its a GPU issue?

What screen are you using in your setup (manufacturer and model)? By default, Bookworm and Trixie use Wayland. Was the switch from X11 to Wayland intentional?
Did you perform any extra configuration for your display, such as installing packages or modifying configuration files?
What power supply do you use?

My screen is a ELECROW 7-inch 1024x600 touchscreen I got from amazon marketed for the pi5.
The switch was intentional on the suggestion of gemini but only made everything worse.
For my display I made no extra configurations, I just adjusted the android auto size and resolution to fit my screen.
For my power supply I have a 5A Buck converter wired to the 12V plug in my car. I dialed it in at around 5.2V - 5.25V and use a usb-c plug soldered to the converter.

Looks like the screen was detected properly. Does the issue only occur when projection (CarPlay/Android Auto) is active, or does it also happen on the Hudiy UI?

Could you please send us below files for further analysis:

$HOME/.hudiy/share/config/main_configuration.json
/boot/firmware/cmdline.txt
/boot/firmware/config.txt
Logs: $HOME/.hudiy/log/hudiy.*.log

You can zip them and upload to the thread.

When the problem happens again, could you please log in via SSH to your Raspberry Pi and paste the output of the dmesg command?

So far i have only used hudiy for android auto.
But as of now my pi os is broken again and only loads the headless gui on startup, so it will some time to install it again.

Another question: How can I connect to the pi via SSH while it is in the car? I do need to connect it to wifi or ethernet to do so right? Or is there a way I can just use SSH on my phone while its connected to the hudiy hotspot?

When you connect manually to the hotspot (not via Android Auto), you can use an app like Juice SSH to log in. SSH should be enabled first in the Raspberry Pi Imager customization options.

You’ll likely need to confirm the WiFi connection on your phone, since the hotspot has no internet access.

After reinstalling the system, try enabling and test your setup with useRpiDrm set to true in main_configuration.json: https://github.com/wiboma/hudiy/blob/ma ... ndroidauto

So, I got a new Pi5 which resolves it booting to headless gui, apparently it was kind of broken.
however when I tried to connect to the hudiy hotspot normally the screen went from the frozen android auto to the normal hudiy interface as I disconnected my phone. So I suspect android auto or my phone could be at fault? After that it was working fine again until it froze again in android auto.
Nevertheless here are most of the files. I couldnt find the log, maybe there is something wrong with the installation, I couldnt find any folder named .hudiy or log. My folder constellation is a bit long as well: /home/wober/hudiy_installer/bookworm_aarch64/hudiy_install/bookworm_aarch64/files/hudiy/share/config/main_configuration.json

Please double check uploaded files. It should be:

/boot/firmware/cmdline.txt
/boot/firmware/config.txt

The path you mentioned is the path of the installation folder. All Hudiy files (logs, configuration) are stored in your home directory in .hudiy directory. Please note that the .hudiy folder has a dot in its name, which means it's hidden. You can enable showing hidden files in the file manager using CTRL + H, or you can access them directly via terminal.

Disconnecting Android Auto when manually connecting to hotspot is expected behavior. Wireless connection on your phone can be either used for regular Wifi connection or for Android Auto.
