Adding a sutdown button on RPi2

Help and Support Raspberry Pi

I am trying to add a shutdown button ro RPi2 as seen here

As you can see there is a python script that does not run , and instead produces an error

$ python .shutdown.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".shutdown.py", line 7, in <module>
    import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
ImportError: No module named RPi.GPIO

So as a persoon commented on the previously aforementioned page I tried

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install -U RPi.GPIO

At the last step however I get

$ sudo pip install -U RPi.GPIO

Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log

there is no /root/.pip/pip.log as the error states

If I can not make this work, what can I do to make something like this work???

Thanks

Looks like it’s trying to cross compile there for some reason

Yes well how can I make it work?

Hi @markosjal,

sorry I will not be able to solve your crosscompile problem. But may I ask why you want a physical shutdown function while you easily could do this with a button on your remote control? I guess you have a good reason, just wondering?

Cheers

Well for ne OSMC seems BUGGY . IN fact when my NFS shared do not mount at start up (server down, etc) then kodi never even loads.

see

If I can not get to kodi shutdown, The only option that I have is ssh or a button with the latter being more user friendly and far less nerdy

Not sure you’ll get any help with this, I asked a while ago about installing rpi.gpio (GPIO control - need some help - #2 by DBMandrake), and got no further. I would really like to control the GPIO pins, as I have another project that would need it, but unless we get some assistance getting it installed I don’t think we are going to get any further!

Thanks for the bump, I replied to your post

@markosjal my post in GPIO control - need some help may help you
