![]() It’s slightly risky to just pull out a USB drive, particularly if you have just copied a file to it, as the system manages the write to a drive in the background, and the write takes a finite amount of time. You’ll notice on the menu bar that there is now an eject icon at the top right – this is a new plug-in that allows USB drives and the like to be safely ejected without the risk of losing data. Many of the applications in Raspbian are still using GTK+ version 2, but the PiX theme for GTK+2 has been changed to bring it into line with that for GTK+3. The older version 2 of GTK+ is slowly being replaced with version 3 in many applications, so this change was inevitable at some point – the new appearance isn’t a huge change, but does look slightly more modern. This is because the appearance of Raspbian is now based on version 3 of GTK+, the user interface toolkit used for the LXDE desktop environment. When the desktop launches, you might notice some slight tweaks to the appearance of things like menus, check boxes and radio buttons. It is still possible to set the Pi to boot to the command line for people who prefer that – just toggle the relevant setting in the Raspberry Pi Configuration application described below. This was a decision taken because this is the expected behaviour for all modern computers the default interface for a personal computer in 2015 is a desktop GUI, not just text on a screen. The first thing anyone starting the new Jessie image from scratch will notice is that the default behaviour is to boot straight to the desktop GUI, not to the Linux command line. And at the same time as the upgrade to Jessie, we’ve added a bunch of changes and improvements to the desktop user interface. ![]() There are modifications to the underlying system to improve performance and flexibility, particularly as regards the control of system processes, and as with any update, there are numerous bug fixes and tweaks. ![]() Many of the changes between Wheezy and Jessie are invisible to the end-user. Recent versions of Raspbian have been based on Debian Wheezy (the penguin who’s lost his squeaker in “Toy Story 2”), but Raspbian has now been updated to the new stable version of Debian, which is called Jessie. The Raspbian operating system is based on Debian Linux, and the different versions of Debian are named after characters from the “Toy Story” films. Yes, it is that Jessie, but not in that context. Raspbian is just booting to the GUI as normal.Jessie is here? Who’s Jessie? Wasn’t she the cowgirl doll in “Toy Story 2” – you know, the one who got abandoned in a park to that Sarah McLachlan song, resulting in at least one software engineer finding he had something in his eye at that point…? But they are not executing automatically on startup. I can run rc.local or script_auto_run from the terminal manually and there is no problem. I ran the sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/script_auto_run command and then edited my rc.local yet again to the following line: sudo /etc/init.d/script_auto_run # Description: This service is used to manage a servo So then I re-created my script_auto_run file in my /etc/init.d folder and its contents are as follows: #!/bin/bash ![]() Into rc.local I placed sudo /home/pi/projects/test/script_auto_run So then I created a script called script_auto_run in my /home/pi/projects/test folder containing the following code: #!/bin/bash Sudo fbi -T 1 -t 1 -1 -a -noverbose /home/pi/Pictures/*.jpg I initially edited rc.local and into it I tried each of these commands but nothing happened on startup: Sudo /usr/bin/fbi -T 1 -t 1 -1 -a -noverbose /home/pi/Pictures/*.jpg I want to run this framebuffer command automatically on startup: I have a raspberry pi2b with raspbian jessie wheezy. I know there are lots of posts on this topic, but depite working through many many many of them I cant get this working. ![]()
