Re: Thonny packages?

Thank you. Unfortunately, I was unable to get this to work. I added to the specified path a directory and added to it "__init__.py", then added a module directory to the package directory, but was unable to open it using Thonny _> New, or to save to it using a test line of code comments.

Thonny packages?

I'm learning Python from a YouTube tutorial that doesn't use Thonny - PyCharm, I think. Up until I started packages differences were small, but now I'm running into some confusion. Thonny Tools->Manage Packages brings up a dialog that appears to be mainly for installing packages from elsewhere, but ...

Re: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS support?

What does it mean when Ubuntu 20.04 LTS has greater RPi support than previously? Does that mean you can install it instead of Raspian? If so, is that useful? https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=131 Thank you for the link. I would still like to know what "support" means in this contex...

Re: Replace vaiables in Thonny?

Is there a way in Thonny to replace all my variables with another name at once. I know some IDEs allow this but haven't been able to find a way in Thonny.

You can also write this program to allow the use to enter input. The "input" instruction returns a string, so we need to convert that to an integer (or a float if you wish to do that)
More good hints - interactive and f-strings. Thanks.

Re: Thonny/CLI difference - very much beginner

Thank you. I didn't realize the CLI didn't need "print" but Thonny did. My example must have been assuming REPL.

And thanks for the hint about invoking "python3" on the RPi.

Two Raspberry Pi, one monitor

Can you set up two Raspberry Pi with one monitor, maybe with a switch? I'm thinking about getting a second RPi and I'd really like to free up the 17" monitor I'm now using with the first Pi. So, if I get a second Pi and one new monitor, can I run both Pi off the same new monitor without having to po...

Re: Why is NOOBs suggested to be used by Raspberry beginners?

I just learned from this thread that I don't have to always format an SD card before burning a Raspian image using Etcher, assuming I'm not installing NOOBs. Does this apply to cards larger than 32gb, e.g., both 64gb and 128gb, or do they have to be handled differently?

 ssh-agent (on Linux) or Pagent (with PuTTY on Microsoft Windows) will handle that key authentication for you. (Don't have any relevant experience with a Mac.)
Thank you - it was the user agent I'd overlooked. " ssh-add <path to private key> " did it.

Thanks, all.

SSH requires password to unlock private key each time

Establishing an ssh session with my pi now requires me to unlock the key password each time, instead of just after logouts and reboots.

I've looked a both Pi and Mac etc/ssh/ in both ssh_config and sshd_config and nothing jumps out at me as something I've recently changed.

What am I Missing?

Re: Remove a public key from pi?

What do you mean by public key? Public key is Public. Maybe you mean regenerating your PI's new Private SSH Key? Fair question. I might be misunderstanding the issues. When I generate the key pair on my Mac, I believe I ssh-copy-id the pubic key of the pair to the RPi and keep the private key on my...

Re: Firewall (ufw) and SSH don't work together

sudo ufw status numbered shows: Status: active To Action From -- ------ ---- [ 1] 22/tcp LIMIT IN Anywhere There was a second rule for v6, which I assumed meant "IPv6," but I eliminated it preparatory to denying IPv6. Is that true? I think your suggestions are very welcome as I learn about the pi.
