I, too, find it strange that you can do it without becoming root. ...... The ability to shutdown without sudo is not new in Raspbian Desktop . Been that way for years........ Since you mention "Desktop", I assume you are referring to doing it via the menu (clicking). Presumably, clicking invokes so...

The RECOVERY partition contains a copy of the Raspbian OS which is used to do a fresh restore of the OS. It does not include any user data, files or folders. Your files would have been on a Linux type partition which cannot be seen by a Windows computer and cannot be copied with simple copy commands...

What can I do to get the Pi4 working headless properly.?

Use sudo raspi-config and choose any of the fixed screen resolutions. (Do not select Default Monitor preferred resolution).

... So far the image slideshow works. It was when I was trying to play videos using omxplayer in the script that it wouldn't play the videos. By itself, the videos play. So yea, that's where I got stuck. ... I think the problem is that by default feh runs continuously and never allows the rest of t...

klricks

feh is a slideshow application which must be installed on your system if you have not already. sudo apt install feh I don't know why DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY are there? They are not needed. This should work: feh –q –p –Z –F –R 60 –Y –D 15.0 /home/pi/Slideshow/Pics Try the above command from the comman...

Hi All, Just setup a Pi 3 with Raspbian for someone where I need the display, wifi, etc. to remain up all the time. It seems like that is not currently happening for them. Would appreciate some tips on how I can do that so it will always be up for them to see and use and I will always be able to co...

I believe the OP is referring the Filemanager --> [Edit] menu and not the right click menus.

klricks

In order to activate those menu items you must first select a file(s) with the mouse or cursor keys.

When I say, "did not work" I meant that nothing happens. I click lock screen through LXDE but nothing happens. It just stays on LXDE. This is for desktop. I'll try under the command line. Run dm-tool lock in the LXTerminal command line. (It won't work from the real command line). Not clear what you...

klricks

I don't see the point of adding a menu item to lock the screen when there already is Menu --> Shutdown --> Logout. Better yet, make a shortcut on your desktop. Or add a keyboard shortcut by editing ~/.config/openbox/lxde-pi-rc.xml. Lockscreen is different, it locks the screen only and does not log ...

klricks

The correct config file for Buster is: /home/pi/.config/lxpanel/LXDE-pi/panels/panel Though it is easier to create the menu entry for lockscreen using main menu editor instead of messing with the panel file. The lockscreen in other menu works for me. Does it work from the command line?: dm-tool lock

What does this show:

Code: Select all

traceroute 8.8.8.8

If any of the hops other than the 1st one (your router) are in the private IP ranges then that is a problem.

If I type that in a terminal window it shuts off the monitor but for some reason it won't run from py scipt...... It works great on a pi3 but so I can't get it working on a pi4... Here's the scripts I'm running...... if you have any insight into what's wrong I'd appreciate it! https://github.com/co...

Yes, I am using the viewers on my Windows PC's to view my two Raspberry Pi's, but what I am asking is if there is a free version of the RealVNC server that will run on a normal PC that is running the RP desktop version of Debian downloaded from here? Thanks for the reply, I think you misunderstood ...

klricks

The RealVNC on the RPi is designed to work with the appropriate viewer from here: https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/ It is free to use for up to 5 connections and does not require registration unless you want to use the 'cloud' option. I think you can use other viewers if you disabl...

You can't port forward without a router under your control.
You can't port forward with most mobile broadband ISP's even if you do have a router as most mobile broadband ISP's use CGNAT and don't give you a public IP.

Edit: Correction

The on command may or may not work as expected depending on your monitor brand, model or settings. vcgencmd display_power 1 With my TV, when the Off command is issued, the TV immediately displays a no signal banner for about 20 min. Then the TV shuts off. If the On command is issued during the 20 mi...

I have a 7” touchscreen display that is plugged into my raspberry pi 4 via the hdmi port. Is there something I need to do to enable touchscreen on the GUI if it’s only connected via hdmi? HDMI alone does not support touch screen function. There must be some other interface for touch. Usually USB bu...

I installed keyboard using "pip install keyboard" The install was successful but my python script can't find the keyboard module. It looks like it is installed in Python 2.7 but I am using Python 3. How do I install keyboard into the correct directory?

For Python 3 you need to use pip3.

There are 2 modes for RealVNC...... Service Mode and Virtual mode. The modes are really 2 different things and should not be confused. Most users will use Service Mode. Service Mode: - VNC must be enabled via raspi-config or GUI config tool. - When enabled, automatically runs at startup. - Boot to d...

You might want to give LightZone a try. It's free, easy to use, and still powerful after all these years. This app is not in the repository and the authors web site does not mention a compatable download for Raspberry Pi so I don't expect that it will work. I often run stuff which isn't in the repo...
