Re: Can't log in to desktop with non-pi user

@ W. H. Heydt, I just cloned my beta USB boot 4B2 system to a USB 3.0 flash drive, then booted from that and rpi-updated. After rebooting I was able to log into my user without issue. Taskbar is still present and functional. I still have the pi account on the system, but it's locked (sudo passwd --l...

Re: Anyone successfully connect a large HDD (not SSD) to their rpi? Did you use external power?

In my testing I have found you can't really run dual HDD reliably from a Raspberry Pi's USB ports alone. It might be possible to get the system to boot and mount both drives (I've done it), but anything that requires heavy I/O to both drives will eventually (if not immediately) fail. You can do dual...

Re: Easy Wifi setup without Monitor?

Note that the in-use location for the file is /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and Raspbian will automatically move it from the "boot" partition to that location and use it. That's how WiFi info could be updated after a change as well (a new one in "boot" will replace any previous one in /etc...

Re: STICKY: USB-MSD boot EEPROM third update - 2020-06-15

So after the clean Pi OS install due to my black screen with flashing cursor (pending feedback on why that may have happened), I tried a SD Card Copier to a USB 3.0 USB stick. After a shutdown, removal of the SD Card, the USB option doesn't boot the OS. That's because you didn't update the SD card ...

Re: Easy Wifi setup without Monitor?

The "boot" partition is readable from a Windows or Mac OS computer, and wpa_supplicant.conf is a simple text file. It shouldn't be too difficult for your friends to edit. The other option is to get their WiFi info and pre-configure the file yourself (assuming they trust you with that info).

 Not sure if Chromium can change audio out on-the-fly like that, or whether the browser needs to be restarted.
When I switch to my Bluetooth speakers or headphones I have to restart any application that is currently playing audio.

Re: Using the entire SD card space

First boot on a freshly imaged card should expand the root filesystem, then reboot. That will happen with any newly written card, unless you mess with certain files on the card prior to booting and disable the script (which is not something a "total NOOB" should know how to do). So your problem is q...
