Contract file system?

I'm wondering how I can best backup my Pi. My current method is as follows: Use Win32DiskImager to read the SD card - creates an 8Gb img file Use 7zip to create a compressed self-extracting image - creates a far smaller .exe Delete the .img file This takes a lot of processing, and quite some time to...

Re: Kiosk Browser (Kweb) - Interval / Timeout bug?

Thanks - must have been something in my install. After seeing your post I tried removing Kweb and re-installing it, and then it worked fine.

Thanks for testing it.

How do I "do nothing" and use almost no CPU?

I want to build an interface on the GPIO - I plan to use interrupts to trigger the events. The program needs to run in the background all the time, which I believe I can do with sudo python myinterface.py & ...but if I setup interrupts, they will all stop when the program exits (fair enough)... so i...

Kiosk Browser (Kweb) - Interval / Timeout bug?

Just trying this...

Code: Select all

_to = setTimeout( function() {
    alert("Hello world!");
}, 10000);
Should alert after 10 seconds... but alerts almost instantly! In fact, regardless of what I put in the delay field, it makes no difference.

Re: Expanding SD disk size after upgrade?

Should be sudo raspi-config - the first option on the menu expands the file system.

Consequently, anything opened was opening at its default size and staying there. Solution - don't use "openbox-se...

KWeb3 Kiosk Mode - Screen size

I am attempting to run KWeb3 in Kiosk mode to display a website (stored on disk, periodically auto-updated). I am executing this from the command line, via OpenBox (as described on the Wiki). I have two issues I can't seem to resolve: 1 - Screen size. I have two monitors I use - one is 1680x1050, th...
