Console output when exiting XBMC? - CurlyMo - 5th Jan, 2013 03:56 AM
We have got one problem that we have been trying to solve for 4 Alpha now. When exiting XBMC you should be redirected to terminal 2 and see a console login screen. However we still got complains that this still doesn't work. We would like to know if this problem still persists or if it a specific user cases. If the problem is still there, please help us fix it, because we somehow still can't...
Because the terminal has a screensaver of itself, please press some keys or wiggle with your mouse to make sure it isn't the screensaver that blanks out the screen.

When I exit the screen is just blank and I need to unplug my pi to restart it.

Not working here, CEC disconnects the Pi from the TV and can't reconnect.

@Koenkk, so the whole screen is gone?

Same here. Just installed and was searching for a cli somewhere..... Closing xbmc takes to darkness ;-)

Generally I have seen a console login prompt when Exiting XBMC. That does not worry me though. On a few occasions I have just seen a blank screen. Unfortunately I do not remember whether the blank screens usually appeared when testing a problematic build or just randomly.

Remember that this could also be due to the console screensaver. You then need to press some keys to stop the screensaver.
RE: Console output when exiting XBMC? - thedude459 - 9th Jan, 2013 08:34 AM
What keys do you need to press? I can test that to see if that is what my problem is. If that is the problem is there a way to shut off the console screensaver?

Just like in windows, let the computer know you want to use it. So shouldn't matter what keys.
