Xibo linux client stops

Get Help
1

Hi, i run Xibo linux on Xubuntu last version.
I start it and it runs smoothly (updating content too) but after some time it closes and i have to restart it manually.
What do i have to check to let it run endless? (i’m no good with linux)
I see there is no watchdog on linux, isn’t it?
Thank you in advance

We were seeing this too on regular Ubuntu 16 and 18 one two different hardware platforms. Just haven’t had time to look more at it but it is not just you.

Hi, you can create a service in systemd to check if xibo running and restart him automatically :

cat <<EOF> /etc/systemd/system/start-xibo.service
[Unit]
Description=Service Xibo-client
[Service]
Type=simple
RestartSec=30
Environment=DISPLAY=:0
User=xibo
ExecStart=/snap/bin/xibo-player
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

EOF

/bin/systemctl enable start-xibo.service
/bin/systemctl daemon-reload

Just check in this service the “User=xibo” and replace “xibo” by your user.
