Ok, thanks for the explaination. I assumed that was a script that setup the autostart as an option during the original installation. Because autostart was really a problem for me wayback when — I never paid much attention to that. I actually had a lot of problems keeping wfpiconsole running. There was time it would stop/crash 4-5 times a day. At one point I had a cron task to stop/start it every hour.
Those problems have since disappeared. I’ve noticed now if I stop it it restarts itself. Much better. I don’t know where my problems were. But all started working better after I did a clean install from scratch. Those troubles seemed to be limited to only one of my installs. The one on my official pi 7" screen was working perfectly.
For the eagled-eyed amongst you, you may have noticed that when the UV index is zero, the coloured bar disappears. This was a mistake . I won’t issue a new version to fix this bug (it’ll get rolled into the next release), but in the meantime if you really want it back you can run
wfpiconsole patch
to make the necessary changes to code without bumping the version.

Update: nevermind, rebooted and did the update again and now it’s OK.
Hi, I used to run the older version of piconsole fine; on my Ubuntu; but after I upgrade Piconsole and run it, it asks for a token. Enter token, eventually, the screen blinks a few times and the whole screen is black. I can’t do anything on the screen. Pls help.
@axathai, as Eric said, I need to see the log to see what is happening. You can either copy and paste the contents of wfpiconsole.log file, or copy from the terminal screen.
It didn’t produce any log file in my wfpiconsole folder. As I said, after input the wf token, the whole display becomes blank. I can not do anything to leave that blank screen and do anything else.
Do I have to set anything to get the log file?
