No problemo. 

Clearly, it's not an emergency.

Thx for your reply.

Hello,

          Small issues, today, with dtoverlay gpio-shutdown/poweroff

              [root@mypi ~]# dtoverlay gpio-shutdown

              su: user pi does not exist

              * Failed to apply overlay '1_gpio-shutdown' (kernel)

              su: user pi does not exist

              [root@mypi ~]# dtoverlay gpio-poweroff

              su: user pi does not exist

              su: user pi does not exist

              [root@mypi ~]# 

That seems to come from here
        (https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland/blob/master/host_applications/linux/apps/dtoverlay/dtoverlay-pre).
        If you run as root, it tries to run as the user "pi", as a
        normal user(any), you shouldn't have that problem
well ... not so sure :-)

          [stephan@myrpi ~]$ dtoverlay gpio-poweroff

          * Must be run as root - try 'sudo dtoverlay ...'

    [stephan@myrpi ~]$ sudo dtoverlay gpio-poweroff

    [sudo] password for stephan: 

    su: user pi does not exist

    su: user pi does not exist

    [stephan@myrpi ~]$ dtoverlay -l

    Overlays (in load order):

    0:  gpio-poweroff

[stephan@myrpi ~]$ 

      Then, I don't understand why it needs to be run with SUDO from any
      user to gain ROOT access ?

          [root@myrpi ~]# dtoverlay gpio-shutdown

          su: user pi does not exist

          su: user pi does not exist

          [root@CrisalidBox-C9A58C ~]# dtoverlay -l

          Overlays (in load order):

          0:  gpio-poweroff

          1:  gpio-shutdown

    [root@myrpi ~]#

        Just funny :-)

Even if I add a fake user "PI", this does not work
            better.

                [root@mypi ~]# useradd -r pi -p pi

                [root@mypi ~]# 

                [root@mypi ~]# 

                [root@mypi ~]# dtoverlay gpio-poweroff

                * Failed to apply overlay '2_gpio-poweroff' (kernel)

                [root@mypi ~]# dtoverlay gpio-shutdown

                * Failed to apply overlay '2_gpio-shutdown' (kernel)

                [root@mypi ~]# 

That bit seems to come from here
        (https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland/blob/2448644657e5fbfd82299416d218396ee1115ece/host_applications/linux/apps/dtoverlay/dtoverlay_main.c#L982),
        it fails to check if the overlay was actually applied

            But when I check the overlay list, I get:

                [root@mypi ~]# dtoverlay -l

                Overlays (in load order):

                0:  gpio-shutdown

                1:  gpio-poweroff

                [root@mypi ~]# 

            At least, something is done :-)

That is a little stranger, why does it say it did something
        when the command before said it failed???

            Last problems:

                [root@mypi ~]# dtoverlay -h gpio-shutdown

                * Help file not found

                [root@mypi ~]# dtoverlay -h gpio-poweroff

                * Help file not found

                [root@mypi ~]# dtoverlay -h rpi-rtc

                * Help file not found

                [root@mypi ~]# dtoverlay -h rpi-display

                * Help file not found

                [root@mypi ~]# 

I guess I'll have to add some debugging info and check in my
        rpi (as time permits)

In
            case ... 

    [root@mypi ~]# cat /proc/version

2 questions

        1) has it ever worked before?

Well... never tried before.

      I was just comparing the result between CentOS and R@spbi@n...

        2) which rpi exactly are you using? (don't know if it is really
        relevant).

Standard RPI 3b.

        Thanks.

        Pablo.

          Stephan.

P.S.: Today we built 4.14.71 and will be released as soon as
        it passes the tests.
Great !

What's new for RPI, I mean compared to 68, 69 and 70 ?
