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-rasp...
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_Loginhttp://elinux.org/RPi_Debian_Auto_Login
once autologin work, you can replace the startX by pd.
works for me. cheers c

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, otherwiseyou can get it from pure-data SVN: trunk/scripts/debian.
Edit /etc/default/pd to change the startup options. .hc ______________________________**_________________ Pd-list@iem.at <mailto:Pd-list@iem.at> mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/**listinfo/pd-list http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
