Good day! I think this question does not concern many people. By tradition, Linux systems often use NFS (or any other protocols with this or that functionality) precisely to prohibit accidental or intentional writing to network file systems. Yes, security policy is sometimes annoying, but it’s secu...
I am not sure if it is allowed here to comment on your own post, but I am curious. Previously when I have asked questions here I have had many very helpful replies, very quickly. Do I take it from the lack of any replies to my question that it is not possible to gain write access to an external driv...
I have, I thought, a very simple project but it is proving strangely difficult. I want to be able to have read/write access to an external drive connected to a pi4 from my Mac using Finder and via a little Python program I have written that runs on the Mac. I do not want a NAS solution where a speci...
Thank you all for your prompt and friendly assistance.This really is a polite place compared with others I have encountered. I guess I have become lazy after decades of plug-and-play. The last time I was getting involved at this sort of depth was writing 6502 assembler for the Apple II+ in the late ...
Run "sudo raspi-config" then Advanced Options then Resolution. Set the one for your monitor. Excellent. Thank you. I can now run my Pi4 headless but I must admit to being a bit curious as to why this bug/feature has been introduced with the Pi4. None of my Pi3's need this fix. Also the maximum reso...
I have a Raspberry Pi4. (NOOBS downloaded installed, updated and upgraded yesterday - 25 Nov 19). When a screen is attached to HDMI 0 it works fine and I can use VNC Viewer from my Mac to operate it but if I shut it down, unplug the screen, power it up again and wait for the green light to stop flas...
sudo apt-get install idle-python3.7 If you want a better Idle, run afterwards sudo pip3 install idlex This adds almost everything which is missing in standard Idle. The first step got me IDLE 3.7.3. Many thanks, however the second step gave a 404 error https://pypi.org/simple/idex not found. I am n...
That reply is a waste of your and my time. I thought I just explained why. I want IDLE and it is not in Buster, what part of that is hard to understand?
Simple Run these commands sudo ln -s /usr/local/opt/python-3.7.0/bin/idle3.7 /usr/bin/idle3.7 alias idle3.7='/usr/bin/idle3.7' idle3.7 in terminal and work done I have Buster but no IDLE so I tried the above and all it did was turn the Terminal prompt to a > I use IDLE on my Mac and PC so I would a...
Thanks I will have a look. I think I should have been bit more precise about what I want to do. I have several devices that I want to back up. I have written a Python program that I run on the Mac to do incremental backups to an external drive connected to the Mac. What I want to do is to run this p...
What I want to do is to have read/write access to a drive on the pi4 USB3 port from Finder on the Mac. VNC just seems to give me control of the Pi4 from my Mac.
But the question remains - why does something that works for a Pi3B not work for a Pi4?
I have successfully used the approach here: http://4dc5.com/2012/06/12/setting-up-vnc-on-raspberry-pi-for-mac-access/ to share files and the Pi screen with several Pi 3's but when I do this with a Pi 4, I can see the Pi 4 in the Mac's Finder screen and I have the Connect and Share Screen buttons but...
