Run python script at startup
April 24, 2023, 19:29
Hi all, I'm trying to get a python script to run when the pi starts up. I've tried crontab and rc.local, but neither works. I'm using a Pi 4.
It suddenly worked, not sure whether it was crontab or rc.local, but my program isn't working perfectly. I can't figure out how to get the desktop to boot up again.
Reinstalling isn't a big deal, but if I have to do it every time I test then its gonna take a long time
I used crontab
But crontab no sudo perms
But then somehow did it like service idk??
I tried doing it as a service but it might not work for me, since I'm trying to launch a pygame program
The log gave the error on "screen_info = pygame.display.Info()" and said pygame.error: video system not initialized
Then yse crontab
