Re: RPi not booting after power out

Anyway, it seems a solution was found, although I was hoping not to have to use NOOBS for this, but it seems to have solved the problem I was having, so, a small price to pay if it gets the job done I think...

Re: RPi not booting after power out

In another thread a read only SD card approach is discussed, maybe a solution as well: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=161416 I was considering that approach, but I see one issue with that, and that is if I need to access remotely to change something, liek any changes in the webp...

Re: RPi not booting after power out

At any random time, a Pi running off an SD card could be writing to the card, or the card itself could be doing housekeeping. If the power is cut during either of those, the card can become corrupted. Only after a full shut-down is the card not being written to, or doing housekeeping. But, at rando...

Re: RPi not booting after power out

Just an idea.. Have you tried to either disable the cache in Chromium or to move it to volatile memory (eg. /dev/shm)? This will reduce writes to SD card an lower the possibility of corruption caused by dirty shutdowns. The problem could also be that the SD card itself is not able to handle a power...

Re: RPi not booting after power out

Would the reason as to why a battery cannot be used change in any way the issue or the possible answers? Well, must have unplugged it at least 20 times so far with the installation via NOOBS, and still no problems, and yet the direct Raspbian couldn't survive 1 power cut, so it seems NOOBS does more...

Re: RPi not booting after power out

Again... UPS and battery are not options in this specific case... they just aren't

(I bet someone else is going to come on now and say "a battery would solve it")

Re: RPi not booting after power out

Well... I've forced the power off a few times with the NOOBS installation, like when the processing is at 100%, as in, in the middle of doing something, and it takes a couple of seconds longer to power back up, but it powers up and enters the operating system. On a Raspbian installation without NOOB...

Re: RPi not booting after power out

It's a solution if I was in situ, but if I'm going to have to drive down to the shop every time the power goes out to change the SD card because otherwise it's going to be all weekend possibly (until I go back on the monday, if the electricity goes on the friday night) with no advertising in the win...

Re: RPi not booting after power out

the RPi is literally in Chromium, displaying a website, and nothign more... no one is using it, no one is accessing it, nothing, so it's as close to idle as you're going to get really... but I've also tried before with just Raspbian on, and the CPU usage showing 0%, being idle for a while, unplug an...

Re: RPi not booting after power out

As I said, that doesn't help with power outs... the power company doesn't call me to say "hey, there's going to be a power out in one minute... better shut your Pi off"

Re: RPi not booting after power out

I know, but at the moment, being this lost, it's throwing everything against the wall and seeing what sticks, because I have a friend who asked a friend and said they don't have any problems just unplugging the Pi, and the only difference is they have NOOBS on it. As a fully fledged NOOB myself, it'...

Re: RPi not booting after power out

At the moment I'm installing again, but with Noobs this time, see if that is what might be missing in this case (does Noobs have some kind of power out protection involved?)... see how this goes.

Re: RPi not booting after power out

I haven't actually found anything that says to solve that... still new to all this hehehe Thing is, I live in a very power-dodgy area, so the electricity goes out all the time, especially in summer. It's an installation of Jessie (without NOOBS), then add the lines to get the RPi to run in kiosk mod...

RPi not booting after power out

Hi I've been setting up an RPi under the latest Raspbian to use as a kiosk (I've tried other ways and none of them have worked). I have used instructions from here: https://medium.com/stories-from-upstatement/how-to-build-a-web-kiosk-with-a-raspberry-pi-some-cables-and-a-tv-3dc2724acaa1 and it works...

Re: RPi Remote Station

Thanks again for that information, it is a very good way I am finding. The connection is stable, the ability to connect from a smartphone is good too, I'm liking it a lot for my personal applications, which is between houses basically (family stuff like communicating with my grandfather at a distanc...

I have a project I want to put in place and was wondering if anyone here would have a little advice on the best way to do it. I want to have an RPi set up on a monitor, and be able to access it from a PC a...
