ok so i was able to fix this by uncommenting the following line in /boot/config.txt hdmi_force_hotplug=1 another reason why this was important was when i was manually running vncserver, it would ask for authorization when mounting any removable drive, so i would have to type in my password... i half...

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/vnc/README.md i've been able to use this to setup cloud access to my account when my pi is connected to hdmi but if i start my own vncserver, like described at the bottom of the page, i can only access the vnc server locally, there is no option...

so today i see there is an update for the vlc i had been using
vlc-bin/testing 3.0.8-0+deb10u1+rpt1 armhf [upgradable from: 3.0.8-0+deb10u1]

i don't know what this means but i'm hoping it added better compatibility
i will try the video again

You really want the air blowing on to the Pi for most efficient cooling. Outside (cooler air) blowing on to the CPU or CPU heatsink and then exhausting out the sides. Note it is important to have a low airflow restriction path for air to get out, or you just over pressure the air in the case and do...

in that picture with all the dust, is the fan being pointed at the raspberry pi or away?
does it make a difference?
until now i had no idea there could be a gross dust issue

hi in raspbian i was testing an x264 avg bitrate 1,608 kb/s file over samba i had it playing fullscreen on my 1920x1080 display and fairly frequently i noticed screen tearing whenever there was a lot of motion and i don't know the term for it but ever couple minutes the whole screen would get distor...

what does @ do before commands?

I think this thread opens a can of worms we need a rpi4 emulation section to share what works and what doesn't. Sadly the emulation sticky is woefully out of date. Have you tried mednafen on a pi 3 or 4 it's amazing? i discovered mednafen and although it works quite well for nes/genesis/snes, i've ...

VNC is based on vncserver-x11-serviced.service So to start it: systemctl enable vncserver-x11-serviced.service systemctl start vncserver-x11-serviced.service by default it seems to start itself automatically after being installed so what would you do to disable that? note: it seems to not start its...

i've read about /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart /home/<username>/.config/autostart also that if you do use the user config, you need to have the first line be /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart so it runs the default system things but i'd like to know how raspbian auto-starts up things like v...

One way to close the 1st is to install and use the xdotool utility which will allow you to program keyboard/mouse entry and have it issue [Alt][F4] from the script. I don't see the point of the sleep 10 before the 1st browser load? sleep 10 to make sure he has internet connectivity maybe? for me it...

i think VNC saves control alt delete for the system you're on and doesn't send it over, so maybe it could be a similar issue with alt+shift? one thing to try would be to plug in the keyboard into the pi to see if that makes a difference I just tried this after reading your reply and it worked, than...

btw, what guide (assuming you used one) did you use to setup the wiimote? I think I have the temps under control, I use a (relatively) open Pi4 Coupe case and fan-shim. oh you know what you're doing then, i just have a default "highpi" case that came with a starter kit i didn't put on the heatsinks ...

Mednafen keyboard input works intermittently for me with the Pi4B - sometimes it works, sometimes the keys don't respond or the game freezes. I've also tried using a bluetooth Wiimote (my controller of choice with a PC), and have it working with the Pi4B for basic 'jstest-gtk' testing. I cannot get...

solved my own problem i guess: i discovered once you run a game, there is an in-game shortcut to map keys alt+shift+1 (or whatever controller port you want) i was able to assign the buttons in this and they worked my guess is the joystick is somehow a different address in whatever environment gets o...

i'm on raspberry pi, while waiting for retropie, i stumbled upon mednafen i haven't tried pairing my dualshock3, i'm just using it plugged in the mednaffe GUI recognizes the controller and let's me assign buttons for everything but once i load a rom, none of the buttons i just assigned respond https...

my case does have some vents at the top
i might try it without the top
at this point my pi 4 has no purpose, so all i care about is it doesn't catch on fire
i feel like it is my tomagotchi

i'm using the case that came in the pishop / buyapi kit my 4b idles at 65 temp=65.0'C running the apple II screensaver in xsavers it goes up to temp=83.0'C i didn't use the little heatsinks they sent with it, because i read they weren't really needed, and i was sure i would mess up putting it on str...

it's related to the problem in this thread https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=245022&p=1498044&hilit=testing%27+to+%27Stable%27#p1498044 the solution i liked most was running: sudo apt update and then hitting y, when prompted to continue alternatively (and what most people liked...
