Re: Newbie Pitfall - BACKUPS don't restore (insufficient space)
Dang, sorry -- my apologies! Inattentiveness. I saw the github documentation for rpi-clone and it looked like a steep learning curve. Will take another go at it.

Re: Newbie Pitfall - BACKUPS don't restore (insufficient space)
Thank you . . . and a command line version that I can set up in cron? That's kind of what I was envisioning using image-backup for.

Re: Newbie Pitfall - BACKUPS don't restore (insufficient space)
Am I out of date on this? "SD Card Copier" has or doesn't have an issue with making images too large to restore . . . or something like that?

That link no longer works. Do we not like image-backup? Is image-backup available elsewhere?RonR wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2017 7:59 pm@steveb4pi ,
You may find image-backup useful:

Re: Restore desktop session after reboot?
Thank you! I tried wmctrl and it's doing a good job for restoring window positions when I launch them from a script, I think this will work just fine.

Restore desktop session after reboot?
Hi, I'd like to be able to save open applications and window positions and restore them after reboot. Is there anything for that which works under Raspbian (Buster)?

Thank you. The Pi is part of a setup we have at our community radio station, it's running an Icecast server and I'll be needing to be using it next week to receive a live audio stream from a local music festival. We're getting ready for that event and I think that messing around with the Pi right no...

Re: USB keyboard & mouse works with one image, not another
Thank you. So are you saying that I should upgrade because Jessie has a known issue with its USB peripherals, or I should upgrade if I want to get some help with this issue?

USB keyboard & mouse works with one image, not another
So with this Pi connected to an HDMI monitor, I can see the desktop, but neither the usb mouse nor keyboard do anything. Image 1 is a Jessie config. If I put in a different image, the keyboard works (can't tell about the mouse because Image 2 is Volumio, a headless audio client that gives command li...

Re: wlan0 not configured correctly?
But wait. The Pi is now connected to the wired network (router at 192.168.7.1) and eth0 now cannot ping the internet. It can ping the router. So previously I could ping internet using etho0 but not wlan0. I edited /etc/dhcpcd.conf as shown above (merely adding 8.8.8.8 to the static domain_name_serve...

HDMI Monitor backfeeds voltage into RPI3
While doing some testing on my RPi 3 today, I noticed that the little fan in the Pi's enclosure kept on running even after I removed power to the Pi. The fan is connected to GPIO pins 2 and 6 (normally 5VDC across them), but I was reading 3.7VDC with no power applied. So I unplugged the HDMI cable f...

Re: wlan0 not configured correctly?
DougieLawson, Thank you. The Pi is sometimes wired into a LAN that uses a router at 192.168.7.1, and has a static IP address of 192.168.7.10. That should take precedence. So, fixed IP address and the gateway as shown. When not plugged into that LAN, I want it to connect to any available wireless net...

Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) I've assigned a static IP address to eth0 and everything is working fine on that interface. But wlan0 is not connecting right. It correctly fetches an IP address from the router (192.168.1.1), so DHCP is working. I can ping the router, but I can't ping 8.8.8.8 With wlan...
