I get the following when i run the command startx
startx
hostname: No address associated with hostname
xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "XXXXXXX:0" in "add" command
XXXXXXX is the UUID of the device.
I am not sure how to fix this.
Hi Morrissey,
If your project is on Github, can you please send me a link to it?
else, can you please send me your scripts for starting up X-org?
Maybe it will also help you to look at https://github.com/resin-io/resin-electronjs which is an example of running x-org in a resin.io container.
Hi,
Sorry if it’s bad form to jump on another thread, but I’m getting the same error messages as Morrissey. I’m currently just trying to run the resin-electronjs example from the link Megan gave, and it won’t start any window server at all.
I’ve made the device available for support to view, if that helps.
Many Thanks,
Ben
Just a quick note with what I have experienced when putting the resin-electronjs project on a RPi3 with ResinOS 2.7.8. The HDMI output displays the text “Hello, World” with an ASCII unicorn beneath it. The fleet configuration is {“RESIN_HOST_CONFIG_gpu_mem”: “128”}. The logs are as follows:

Hi,
Is there any update on how to resolve this issue? I’m facing the same problem.

Hi @surekap , have you set that correct GPU memory split as mentioned above by @sqweelygig ? Can you also describe in a bit more in detail the set up you have. I the screen a simple HDMI screen or another type of screen. Was this working and then a new push broke it or did a hostOS upgrade break the functionality or was this a newly provisioned device?
Hi @shaunmulligan, my fleet config is {“RESIN_HOST_CONFIG_gpu_mem”: “160”} with zero redefines. I am running a fleet of 10 raspberry pi 3 devices.
Each device is connected via HDMI to a Zebtronics ZEB 16-A Amazon Link monitor.
The entire setup was working until commit 5afa80c and today when I rebooted a test device it updated to a later revision and everything broke. I looked my diffs but I can’t find anything off. I’m posting a consolidated diff here:

How do I revert back to the old commit to see if everything works there?
Hey @surekap, why did the device only update to the new commit after a reboot? do you have your code holding the update lock or something like that?
There are two ways to rollback to the previous commit:
- ) on your local git, reset the HEAD to the commit you want and make a new branch, then push that branch to resin by doing
git push resin my-branch:master
2.) use the staged rollout functionality described here: https://github.com/resin-io-playground/staged-releases to make that single test device point to a specific build.
Hi @shaunmulligan,
There is no update lock - some devices are periodically turned off as they are moved around for training since we are going through a pilot phase.
I was successfully able to roll back and the error is still visible on this old commit. I am posting the relevant part of the log below:

The flask_cors issue is a problem with my application code which is why I did the commit in the first place.
@surekap so did you rollback doing a repush or using the scripts I pointed to? Also the commit you rolled back to was previously working on this device?
I made the code changes to reflect that commit and did a repush.
This code was definitely working on this device earlier.
Okay, in that case, my suspicion is that something has changed in the base image. What is the FROM line in your Dockerfile? If it is not a date frozen base image, then it will automatically pull in the latest base image changes whenever a new -node:6 image is built. Do you know the date of the last time this was known to be working? If you know that date, we can probably change the base image to a date tagged one and see if that fixes the problem, then we will know that the base images have added a change that broke this.
I’m not able to say when this broke. It was working on the old commit this morning.
FROM resin/%%RESIN_MACHINE_NAME%%-node:6
The error seems to be some problem related to google-chrome.
@surekap can you go to the “releases” page of the application and see the build date of the last know release that was working. From there we can try switch to an older base image based on that date. Looking at the base images changelog, it seems there was a change in the sources.list for RPI (https://github.com/resin-io-library/base-images/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#2017-12-07) which could potentially have introduced the change
Could you try changing your base image to:
FROM resin/%%RESIN_MACHINE_NAME%%-node:6-20171229I just realised something.
All the production devices run on the Zebtronics which has a native resolution of 1920x1080.
The device is currently hooked up to my test bench which has a 4K panasonic LCD (though r-pi probably still downscales that to 1920x1080). Could that be the source of the issue?
its worth a shot.
I fixed the problem by pulling the latest commit (f73d84f) of resin-electronjs
Turns out the issues were with the version of electron and gpu acceleration.
