Your responses explaining what you are doing are not very comprehensive and I am not convinced that you are doing things correctly. The SD Card Copier is the tool developed by RPF (spl123) and designed to do exactly what you are asking, so it should just work, even on a NOOBS SD card like yours. So ...
The new image of your SD card shows that it has expanded correctly. but when I put in the raspberry pi, it is not working. Please define what you mean by "...not working" Does NOOBS load? Can you select your Raspbian OS from it? Did you check the "New Partition UUIDs" box when you used SD Card Copier?
We also have an issue with the screen being black while booting up. I've tried to set up the install directions carefully. + downloaded NOOBS and extracted it on a different computer. + formatted the 64 gb SD card with the SD Card Formatter and formatted it into Fat32 format. SD card formatter will...
Why don't you just use the SD card Copier in Raspbian to copy your 8gb card to your 64gb card. It will do all the necessary expanding for you without having to mess with gparted. The thing with NOOBS is that you can't easily muck about with partition sizes because they were set in concrete on the da...
Sorry, I assumed if you had access to a terminal, the only terminal that would make sense where you could see what you were typing would be a remote terminal over the network using a Secure Shell (SSH) program like PUTTY from a Windows PC. But you've probably not even enabled that. So I assume you a...
It's not a permanent setting, so if you can access a terminal (ssh?), "sudo reboot" should get your screen back again when it re-initialises. If you don't want to reboot, then I think the command to use is something like: sudo sh -c "echo 255>/sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness" But I don'...
If you have full or standard Raspbian installation on your SD card, use SD Card Copier from the menu to clone your whole SD card to a new SD card in a USB-SD card adaptor.
I wonder is there an easy way to keep the main OS partitions and convert the boot-loader from NOOBS to PINN? 1. BACKUP OR CLONE YOUR SD CARD ! Normally it should work just fine, but if you make a mistake, it's on your head not mine! 2. Check your backup SD card works. 3. Download and extract pinn-l...
If you replace NOOBS with PINN, I think it could be done, but I've never tried it. Before executing the main PINN recovery program, a "pinn_init.sh" script (if it exists) will be executed. It was mainly designed to initialise third party displays etc., but you could possibly create your own script t...
Default username/passwords are in os.json for each os, sometimes in release_notes.txt if it has mutiple logons. Or, there is a Change Password option on the Maintenance menu: Select your installed OS, Check "show password" and click "Use Default" to see what the defaults password is, then Cancel. In...
Unless you tick the checkbox for arch64 under the minimal tab, it will not show up as a replacement option. The list of replacement OSes includes all you have already installed, plus any additional OS that you tick.
See https://github.com/procount/pinn/blob/master/README_PINN.md#replace-individual-oses First select the OSes you want to install (Arch4) in the Main Menu. Then Select the OS you want to replace in the Maintenance menu (e.g. ProjectSpace1). Then click Replace and choose the new OS (Arch4) that you w...
Your definition of Class is quite good, but you have not described an Object well. In your example, a SWITCH is a class - a definition or blueprint of what properties/attributes a switch has and what methods/functions it has, i.e what it can do. In this case it represents ALL types of switches, or a...
It would help if you explained the purpose. For example: When my wife was out with our kids, she often turned her mobile into a hotspot so they could have some internet. But she often forgot to turn it off when she got home. You can imagine what happened when the kids started watching YouTube thinki...
256GB SD cards are formatted as exFAT by default and so are not bootable.
You need to format it as FAT32 first for use with NOOBS. (Not necessary if you are going to use Etcher).
I've reached an impasse in creating my kernel module driver for the Pimoroni Hyperpixel4.0 touchscreen display (DPI18). Please see https://github.com/procount/pimhyp4 for the driver source code, DTS overlay and example config.txt file. the README.md file provides a bit more info. Mostly it works on ...
No idea about macos, I'm afraid. I'd get a couple of USB SD-card readers (make sure they will support your 200GB card - SDXC I think?) and another small (16/32GB) SD card. Install Raspbian Desktop to your new card and use it's piclone to copy from your original 16GB card to your new 200GB card. It's...
Step 1 is to check your 200GB SD card is not a fake using h2testw or various other SD card testing tools before you go any further. Hopefully it's a good one, but it will save you a lot of grief to confirm this first. Once confirmed, the easiest way to copy your 16GB card is to use the SD Card Copie...
It is aggressive enough for MBR cards. I don't think GPT cards were envisioned at the start of NOOBS. If I am correct in how to handle it, there is no need to nuke the whole card as it will just increase the wear. Just wipe the last 34 or so sectors at the end of the card. You can dd from PINN's rec...
Hmm. That's strange. Not seen that before.
If it was a PINN installed OS, then it would have been nice to know which one does this and ensure PINN can undo it in future.
For now I can only suggest wiping out the 2nd GPT header as above. Let us know how you get on.
