Need manual restart on raspberry pi power on

[GamerMine]

Hello,
I have installed nodogsplash on my Raspberry Pi 3b+. Note that the pi has also RaspAP installed.
The problem is that when I start the Raspberry Pi, after the power on is complete, I need to manually restart the nodogsplash in order for it to works.
I don't understand why it does that because, when I look at the status once the Raspberry Pi is booted, it says that it is loaded and started, so, there is no evidence of any error at this point.

If someone now what is going on, please tell me. Thank you =)

I had that same problem, and from what i gathered in testing, the issue is that nodogsplash starts earlier than it should. What I did to fix it was delay nodogsplash in the startup proccess. I placed nodogsplash in start priority n99. Let me know if that helps

I am having the same issue. I have looked at several other posts that talk about nodogsplash starting too early. I have the latest version 5.0.2 and its running on raspberry pi with all updates applied. As far as I can tell the nodogsplash is not even trying to start and I can not find it in any init.d directory. I have to manually start it every time I reboot the pi. Also, I have set the sleep to 10 seconds, made no difference.

sudo ndsctl status
ndsctl: nodogsplash probably not started (Error: No such file or directory)

Are there any logs? You can also set a higher debug level.

No logs, I do not believe its even trying to start it. Starts no problem once I log in and run nodogsplash.

If you have delayed the nodogsplash startup to 99 and still are having problems, you should try creating a script that initializes nodogsplash and run that script with a cronjob after, say, 5 minutes.

Good point, I dint even think of using a cron.

I ended up disabling the nodogsplah service so it doesn't start at boot and then add this cron to the root user:

@reboot sleep 60 && systemctl start nodogsplash.service
