[PROBLEM] Console output when exiting XBMC?

[CurlyMo]

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.

[CurlyMo]

@Koenkk, so the whole screen is gone?

[rikardo1979]

same here, just a black screen, no console so I can confirm

@rikardo1979 and the rest, that's just about it

[thedude459]

My connection is HDMI to LCD TV, wireless, 5v PSU, I use the XBMC app on my phone as a remote, 720 resolution.

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

[CurlyMo]

@subbia, tell us something about your setup (like Rikardo did).

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.

[CurlyMo]

Remember that this could also be due to the console screensaver. You then need to press some keys to stop the screensaver.

[thedude459]

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?

[CurlyMo]

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