Hello Picard12,

Maybe try running the commands with sudo, like:

sudo https://download.argon40.com/argon1.sh | bash

At least, this solved installation errors for me.

Update:

I just checked on my system, and there also is no ‘/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/argon-shutdown.sh’, but running with sudo did not result in error messages…. Hmm. maybe this is why my power off is not working properly? I’ll go revisit the logs (if I can find them).

Running Raspberry Pi OS (trixie) on a Raspberry Pi 5 housed in an Argon One V3 NVME (not completely the same set-up as you have, but maybe the common denominator is Raspberry Pi OS (trixie)).

Regards,
Jermus.

After a lot of testing I found the solution by writing two scritpt:

Install this packages: sudo apt update

sudo apt install -y python3 python3-libgpiod gpiod i2c-tools python3-psutil python3-smbus i2c-tools -y

Then write the two files:

  1. sudo nano /usr/bin/argononed_gpiod.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import gpiod

import time

import os

import sys

import signal

import logging

# === CONFIGURAZIONE ===

FAN_PIN = 18 # Ventola (BCM)

BUTTON_PIN = 5 # Pulsante power

LED_PIN = 6 # LED rosso

CHIP_NAME = “gpiochip0”

TEMP_PATH = “/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp”

# Soglie ventola (°C)

FAN_LOW = 50

FAN_HIGH = 60

LOG_PATH = “/var/log/argononed.log”

# === LOGGING ===

logging.basicConfig(

filename=LOG_PATH,

level=logging.INFO,

format=“%(asctime)s [%(levelname)s] %(message)s”,

)

def log(msg):

print(msg)

logging.info(msg)

# === FUNZIONI ===

def wait_for_chip(chip_name=CHIP_NAME, timeout=20):

elapsed = 0

while elapsed < timeout:

try:

return gpiod.Chip(chip_name)

except FileNotFoundError:

time.sleep(0.5)

elapsed += 0.5

log(f"ERRORE: impossibile aprire {chip_name} dopo {timeout}s.")

sys.exit(1)

def get_temp():

try:

return int(open(TEMP_PATH).read()) / 1000

except Exception:

return 0

def shutdown():

log(“Pulsante premuto: spegnimento sistema…”)

os.system(“systemctl poweroff”)

def cleanup(chip):

chip.close()

log(“Servizio terminato correttamente.”)

# === INIZIALIZZAZIONE ===

chip = wait_for_chip()

fan = chip.get_line(FAN_PIN)

led = chip.get_line(LED_PIN)

button = chip.get_line(BUTTON_PIN)

fan.request(consumer=“argononed”, type=gpiod.LINE_REQ_DIR_OUT, default_vals=[0])

led.request(consumer=“argononed”, type=gpiod.LINE_REQ_DIR_OUT, default_vals=[0])

button.request(consumer=“argononed”, type=gpiod.LINE_REQ_DIR_IN)

log(“ArgonOne GPIOD service avviato correttamente.”)

fan_state = 0

led.set_value(1) # LED acceso costante

# === LOOP PRINCIPALE ===

try:

while True:

temp = get_temp()

# Gestione ventola

if temp >= FAN_HIGH and fan_state == 0:

fan.set_value(1)

fan_state = 1

log(f"Ventola ON - {temp:.1f}°C")

elif temp <= FAN_LOW and fan_state == 1:

fan.set_value(0)

fan_state = 0

log(f"Ventola OFF - {temp:.1f}°C")

# Gestione pulsante

if button.get_value() == 0:

press_time = time.time()

while button.get_value() == 0:

time.sleep(0.1)

if time.time() - press_time > 2: # pressione >2s

shutdown()

time.sleep(2)

except KeyboardInterrupt:

cleanup(chip)

except Exception as e:

log(f"Errore inatteso: {e}")

cleanup(chip)

raise

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/argononed_gpiod.py

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl start argononed.service

And ceck if its works fine:

sudo systemctl status argononed.service –no-pager

I used chatgpt and the main goal was to modify the argon40 files to fit trixie.

Thanks for sharing the scripts!

Don’t worry if you see an error from the log, the system is ok.

/usr/local/sbin/argonone-shutdown-handler.sh replaces original argon-shutdown.sh, which no longer works, with the same logic

Original file :

#!/bin/bash

pythonbin=/usr/bin/python3
argononefanscript=/etc/argon/argononed.py
argoneonrtcscript=/etc/argon/argoneond.py
argonirconfigscript=/etc/argon/argonone-ir

if [ ! -z "$1" ]
then
	if [ -f "$argononefanscript" ]
	then
		$pythonbin $argononefanscript FANOFF
	fi
	if [ "$1" = "poweroff" ] || [ "$1" = "halt" ]
	then
		if [ -f $argonirconfigscript ]
		then
			if [ -f $argoneonrtcscript ]
			then
				$pythonbin $argoneonrtcscript SHUTDOWN
			fi
			$pythonbin $argononefanscript SHUTDOWN
		fi
	fi
fi

New file :

#!/bin/sh
pythonbin=/usr/bin/python3
argononefanscript=/etc/argon/argononed.py
argoneonrtcscript=/etc/argon/argoneond.py
argonirconfigscript=/etc/argon/argonone-ir

case "$1" in
  FANOFF|fanoff)
    [ -f "$argononefanscript" ] && $pythonbin "$argononefanscript" FANOFF

    if [ -f "$argonirconfigscript" ]; then
      [ -f "$argoneonrtcscript" ] && $pythonbin "$argoneonrtcscript" SHUTDOWN
      [ -f "$argononefanscript" ] && $pythonbin "$argononefanscript" SHUTDOWN
    fi
    ;;
  *)
    [ -f "$argononefanscript" ] && $pythonbin "$argononefanscript" FANOFF

/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/ has no longer being on Trixie.
Solution I implemented
Instead of the old hook directory I implemented two small systemd unit files plus a handler script.

sudo curl https://download.argon40.com/argon1.sh | bash

sudo tee /usr/local/sbin/argonone-shutdown-handler.sh > /dev/null <<'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
pythonbin=/usr/bin/python3
argononefanscript=/etc/argon/argononed.py
argoneonrtcscript=/etc/argon/argoneond.py
argonirconfigscript=/etc/argon/argonone-ir

case "$1" in
  FANOFF|fanoff)
    [ -f "$argononefanscript" ] && $pythonbin "$argononefanscript" FANOFF
    ;;
  poweroff|halt|SHUTDOWN|shutdown)
    if [ -f "$argonirconfigscript" ]; then
      [ -f "$argoneonrtcscript" ] && $pythonbin "$argoneonrtcscript" SHUTDOWN
      [ -f "$argononefanscript" ] && $pythonbin "$argononefanscript" SHUTDOWN
    fi
    ;;
  *)
    [ -f "$argononefanscript" ] && $pythonbin "$argononefanscript" FANOFF
    ;;
esac
EOF

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/argonone-shutdown-handler.sh

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/argonone-fanoff.service > /dev/null <<'EOF'

Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/argonone-shutdown-handler.sh FANOFF
TimeoutStartSec=0

[Install]
WantedBy=poweroff.target reboot.target halt.target
EOF

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/argonone-shutdown.service > /dev/null <<'EOF'
[Unit]
Description=Argon One: shutdown tasks for poweroff/halt

TimeoutStartSec=0

[Install]
WantedBy=poweroff.target halt.target
EOF

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable argonone-fanoff.service argonone-shutdown.service

Why this approach

Predictable timing: DefaultDependencies=no + Before=poweroff.target ensures the unit runs at the intended point in the shutdown sequence.
Robust across installs: It does not rely on distro-specific presence of a system-shutdown folder.
Conditional behavior: ConditionPathExists=/etc/argon/argonone-ir reproduces the original conditional logic (only do SHUTDOWN tasks if IR config is present).

I had same issue installing the script on my Argon One V3 NVME with new RPi OS trixie, where error message “/lib/systemd/system-shutdown not found” is shown. As workaround I manually downloaded the shutdown-script from argon and moved it to the relevant folder.

wget https://download.argon40.com/scripts/argon-shutdown.sh
sudo chmod 755 argon-shutdown.sh
sudo mv argon-shutdown.sh /lib/systemd/system-shutdown/

curl https://download.argon40.com/argon-eeprom.sh | bash
curl https://download.argon40.com/argon1.sh | bash

I had this problem too, but simply needed to create the `/lib/systemd/system-shutdown` directory myself as root. Then the install/update script works as intended.

PS Devs: You might want to actually check for the existence of that directory on line 495, notify the user and exit if it doesn’t exist, and only download the shutdown script into it once you’re sure it’s there! :wink:

I will be trying that as well. Nice to know this.
