Hi Sean,
Very often I cannot reboot the Pi, and in the below-left corner of the screen "pypilot.service" stays in screen.
The Pi will not complete it's shutdown/reboot cycle, and I have to cut the power. This is a very hard situation when working headless and having to travel to the boat again.
Do you / does anyone else have this problem? Or any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
Kind regards,
Jamos

Yes I have had the same issue, I thought it was rebooting and starting only the pypilot.service but now that you explain it, this makes more sense.

I'm weeks or months behind doing extensive pypilot openplotter testing... I got stuck on too many other problems, but the journalctl output would be helpful and I do intend to fix all the issues...

Any ideas? It is happening on the newest image from openplotter (headless) and comes instantly after installing Pypilot.
So, no modifications on my side on the image.

It's this one:

If you don't have time I am happy to do troubleshooting, I just don't know where to start.
Could you give me some instructions?

Your problem and situation are still not really clear, at least not to me. You are talking about having to travel to your boat when you cannot reboot, and about something in the corner of the screen. Can I assume that you have a computer with openplotter on your boat then, and you are using some remote access solution with a VNC viewer to connect to it? How are you trying to reboot it? Can you show a screen dump? When something is hanging, how are you certain it is the pypilot service? Can you see any processes in the process list that relate to pypilot (ps -ef|grep -i pypilot). When it is hanging, can you still ping the machine or start an ssh session to it? It might be that you shut it down instead of rebooting, but you are led astray by the VNC viewer that shows the echo the last screen image. Normally I reboot with sudo reboot, never needed the -f option.
