Pierre/Cyrille:

it worked. since i have pd-extended installed, i added this line to /etc/rc.local:

pd-extended nogui -audiobuf 100 -noadc /home/pi/Desktop/mypatch.pd

Hans:

i copied the script to /etc/init.d/pd-extended. it still didn't work for me. 

i crosschecked the file you attached with the one i already had and they look

exactly the same to me. Perhaps you accidentally attached the old version?

Hi Epic,

I got Pd running at startup on the RPi without modifying /etc/init.d/pd-extended.
All I did is add a line in /etc/rc.local, something like 'pd -nogui -audiobuf 100 -noadc /home/pi/mypatch.pd'

This will start Pd, without GUI, with a buffer big enough for the RPi, without audio in (there's no capture on the RPi), and open the patch called 'mypatch.pd' in the home folder.

This should work a fresh Raspbian install. Pd will start without the user having to login, nor start X.

There's also an alternate solution involving the cration of a bash script. I described it here on my blog : http://guitarextended.wordpress.com/2012/08/28/running-pd-on-a-headless-raspberry-pi/

Cheers,

Pierre.

PS : this is for Pd-vanilla, i've never tried pd-extended on the Pi.

Hans:

to make sure i had everything correct i started from scratch, 

i did everything you indicated including the exact patch location, still nothing.

i added the auto login as suggested by Cyrille, nada.

Cyrille:

could you be more specific as to what i would replace the startx with? 

should i indicate the exact path as well?

like so: su pi -c /home/pi/Desktop/whatever.pd

i tested it with startx and it did not work anyway.

hello,

to start a patch on a RPi, you can also follow this instruction :
http://elinux.org/RPi_Debian_Auto_Login

once autologin work, you can replace the startX by pd.

works for me.
cheers

Charles:

i found /etc/init.d/pd-extended and added

su -c "pd whetever.pd" pi

(am i supposed to specify the exact location of the patch?
  /home/pi/Desktop/pd/whatever.pd)

then
$ chmod a+x /etc/init.d/pd-extended
$ update-rc.d pd-extended defaults 99

i rebooted but no pd patch on startup

Hans:
i also tried editing /etc/default/pd-extended by un-commenting
RUNPDDAEMON=yes
DAEMON=/usr/bin/pd-extended
and i set the patch location
and the user: USER=pi

still nothing on start up. perhaps there is a conflict between Charles' and Hans' instructions?

    Pd-extended Debian packages should install /etc/init.d/pd, otherwise you can get it from pure-data SVN: trunk/scripts/debian.

    Edit /etc/default/pd to change the startup options.
