Systemd - doesn't work (although this is more than likely me getting the. I even tried putting a 15 second sleep beforehand, didn't work. Rc.local - doesn't work, although interestingly, if I ran it from the terminal, the script fired and loaded steamlink, so my formatting was correct, it just wasn't reading it.

If anyone else has any useful autostart methods for buster, please do let me know, because I've tried all the recommended methods (I'm assuming these are for earlier releases) and nothing works. Is there some command line override that can ignore errors? Problem being, I want this pi to sit behind my TV, so I don't want to have to stroll over with a mouse every time I boot up the pi to close the error box. If I click on OK, everything is fine, steamlink then loads. So I decided to debug the issue and created a guide with an easy install script. Now, the problem I'm having is that I get a warning box pop up:Ĭouldn't download archive, aborting update. I couldn't find any existing resources for installing steamlink on 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS, and steamlink doesn't work out-of-the-box.

That is by editing the /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart and adding in before the screensaver. I've been through allsorts of tips on how to autostart, from rc.local, to crontab.įor me, on buster, there's only one way to get it to load (with a small hiccup).
