[agl-discussions] Homescreen does not start...

Hi all,
I am seeing similar issues as this thread. Homescreen doesn't start and I just see the AGL logo on HDMI. Maybe someone can help me out. Heres some info:
- Built and running on the porter board (MACHINE=porter) using:
   source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -m porter agl-devel agl-demo agl-netboot agl-appfw-smack
- I am building off the chinook branch
- I followed the instructions on the page:
   http://docs.automotivelinux.org/docs/getting_started/en/dev/reference/machines/porter.html
- This is what bootargs_video in u-boot looks like:

=> printenv bootargs_video
bootargs_video=vmalloc=384M video=HDMI-A-1:1024x768-32 at 60

- This is what my weston.ini looks like:

root at porter:~# cat /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini
[core]
shell=ivi-shell.so

[ivi-shell]
ivi-module=ivi-controller.so

[output]
name=HDMI-A-1
transform=270

- I have a USB mouse connected to the porter board (I remember this was needed...is it still the case?)
- Some systemctl status commands I ran:

root at porter:~# systemctl --user status
Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory
root at porter:~# systemctl status HomeScreen.service
��● HomeScreen.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: inactive (dead)
root at porter:~# systemctl --user status HomeScreen.service                                                                                                                                                            
Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory

I also noticed that only core-image-minimal is built for porter (https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/release/chinook/3.0.0/porter-nogfx/) and no agl-demo-platform. I was just curious why that is?
Thanks for any help.

Apps are built but not installed. It is the way to go now, but also to facilitate installation wgt are shipped directly into image under /usr/AGL/ces2017-demo.

You can install hvac apps with command : afm-util install hvac.wgt

You can also get hvac using hvac git repo from gerrit then under repo make it and transfer the generated package on your board. Doing this way you are sure that you get lastest version of app without need to rebuild an image for the board. Also, it's way faster to build only needed app and transfer to the board. Note that HomeScreen hardcoded application that can be ran and so we can't launch random application, only those with id : hvac, navigation, phone, radio, mediaplayer, connectivity, dashboard, settings and poi and only at version 0.1 ... That's very annoying but for now later we will see how to make a better HomeScreen.

So under git repo you have to use sdk like described into that pdf doc http://docs.automotivelinux.org/docs/devguides/en/dev/reference/iotbzh2016/sdk/AGL-Devkit-Image-and-SDK-for-porter.pdf.
Then with sdk sourced, just apply these commands line :

$ qmake

$ make

and package will be generated into package directory.

Regards.
