Solved the screen stay white and printer doesn´t work

I work with Raspis, the Parallax Propeller board and a wide variety of add-ons, hats, modules and you-name-it for both and I write-up reviews from what I find. I'm used to the amount of research, tweaking, hacking and sometimes disappointment from attempting to use these things. You'll find five drivers from official to tweaked-version-of-the-favorited-tweak, eventually getting the right combination of settings in some obscure file somewhere. The most frustrating time is waiting for some part to arrive, something they *could* have been mentioned on the description (like a logic converter, say). <_< I will say that I'm pretty familiar with the inner workings of Raspbian Jessie.

The chassis is for a Raspi supercomputer, for what it's worth. Once finally assembled, you guys will see it after I do.

 

Looks like this thread discusses a promiscuous logging issue with several people complaining of an unresponsive Raspberry if they leave it on for hours.

I've noticed that my own /var/log/syslog was filled with "rsyslogd-2007: action 'action 19' suspended, next retry is..." messages like these people. I've adjusted my /etc/rsyslog.conf as they suggested and it no longer logs this type of message.

There's a bug with /dev/xconsole which is self-perpetuating an error, which tries to log that error, which tries to use /dev/xconsole...

 

You can easily hook whatever HDMI source you have to it to test. With a bit of luck just disconnecting/reconnecting the cable in the process will fix it

Hello,

I just changed my broken LCD screen with that model and my touch screen is not oriented like the display? Any idea how I could fix that? I tried a bunch of thing like touchscreen-inverted-x touchscreen-inverted-y in the boot.txt but no success

 

Im gonna try that. At the moment the display is correctly displayed but the touch screen looks like Rotated: bottom is set horizontaly on the left side but also mirrored in front left to right

 

On the boot.ini? Not the config.txt? Sorry im a bit new to tinkering with the Rasberry stuff

 

For some reason, only display_rotate=2 works on my side and the subsequent lines for touch dont do anything:

dtoverlay=rpi-ft5406,touchscreen-inverted-x=1,touchscreen-inverted-y=1

Thats the line I had already tried previously

 

Im starting to wonder if the screen I bought has a defect with the touchscreen. Its kind of weird that the default touch is not aligned with the display at all and that no fucntions affecting its orientation seems to work.
