I run
DietPi on my Raspberry Pi 2, which I use exclusively for programming Atari Lynx cartridges via the
Lynx Cart Programmer Pi-Hat and as a result the Raspberry Pi is only ever turned on when I need to burn ROMs to cartridges. Usually this is a quick process but sometimes I noticed it runs into errors on boot with the
"Waiting for Dietpi-Postboot to finish (x/15) - syntax error in expression" error appears over and over.
I've put up with this for a while but eventually it got the better of me and I had to fix it. Turned out the fix was really quite simple!
There is syntax error in one of the DietPi scripts. Specifically the
/DietPi/dietpi/login script. There is a line that reads like this...
The line should read like this (just add the
" 2 " after
"G_DIETPI-NOTIFY")...
After this fix those errors disappear. Nice and easy!
