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:

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 nano /etc/systemd/system/argononed.service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl enable argononed.service

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.
