Title: Exit Attract Mode
Post by: ozboss on December 11, 2016, 12:15:18 PM

So in the displays menu there is, besides the emulators an option to "Exit Attract-Mode", but when i press it,
it just exits attract mode but doesn't execute the shutdown, like it does when i press esc in the displays menu and then exit.

How can i change this?
How would i be able to delete this from the displays menu entirely?

Configure-->General-->Allow Exit from "Displays Menu" = No

This is funny. When I hit back a few times and select "yes" at "Exit Attract-Mode", it just takes me to the command prompt where I can type exit to take me back to AM. I want that function to shutdown the Pi. Any ideas? Thanks!

@pghretroguy
AM does, what you AM tell
Exit AM => it exits the application AM
closing an application doesn't mean a complete shutdown of OS
that's all.

start AM > press TAB > General > Exit Command : sudo poweroff

I am having the same issue as well. Both commands just exit to the command line.

havw you tried with "sudo shutdown now"  ?

FYI - When you add "sudo poweroff" it will not work on your first exit because the file is loaded in memory. If you have issues getting this working, reboot your Pi after adding it.

the normal command i think is 'sudo shutdown now -P'

sudo shutdown -P now

('P' must be capital)

i copied the exact run command that AM uses when you select "shutdown" option from "attract mode setup".

Code: [Select]

sudo /bin/bash "/home/pi/.attract/Attract Mode Setup/Shutdown.sh"
Which if you opened the Shutdown.sh, it says:

Code: [Select]

#!/usr/bin/env bash
sudo shutdown -P now

Is there a way to change the exit text on the Pi to say "Shut Down System" instead of "exit attract-mode?" I can not seem to find this file to edit it.

if you're using english language file :

Code: [Select]

sudo nano /usr/local/share/attract/language/en.msg

This worked, thank you very much.
I also noticed there was a pull request on github to add this as a feature: https://github.com/mickelson/attract/pull/363
