Ok, I've come back to this as I've switched back to stretch-lite. I can install support for HFS, and NTFS, install pmount then run; sudo pmount /dev/sda1 That will mount the partition, but I have a few issues that shouldn't be too difficult to solve. 1) Is mounting partitions automatically at boot ...

This isn't a complete answer but should point you on your way.

Bluetooth has a HID profile (HID=Human Interface Device) for keyboard, mouse, game controller, etc. You probably need to investigate that.

If I could find out which pin was powered up during system ON, and changes state after system shutdown I might be able to install something as simple as a micro relay so that, as soon as it changes state, the relay gets triggered, and shorts GPIO3 to ground, and, hopefully, it reboots, the pin chan...

What's a Pi modle? ; A typo. But seriously we are saying the same thing, shorting the run header accomplishes the same thing as cycling the power. Which would solve his problem, My solution cost $12USD and since the Pi has to be plugged into something anyway, why not a switched outlet that he could...

which is the only way to get the Pi back online once the OS is shutdown anyway.

Not true. Many Pi modles have a "run" header (which may not be populated) shorting that will reboot the pi. I read somewhere that pulling GPIO 3 to ground has the same effect.

Have a look at the gpio_poweroff devicetree overlay.

Th more I search, the more complicated it seems. It is only a question of executing a script somewhere in the process of closing the RPI in order to interrupt the current in a pine of the GPIO because the leds remain lit after the closing of the RPI Any leads? If all you need to do is switch a pin ...

I am trying to get NFS to work, but struggling to get the correct syntax. The following is the closest I can get, but I get an "access denied by server" error, suggesting it is not far off, but permissions are not quite right. sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.4:/RaspberryPi /media/backup Is the machine ...

now my next issue is that i use a company PC on a domain.

You should probably talk to whoever maintains your company network/domain before doing too much more. The last thing you want to do is break the company network.

Is there another way to make the leds light up at startup?? /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart does run at start up. It runs when the pi user logs in to the GUI desktop. WIth no user logged in it won't run. With the pi user logged into to more than one desktop (console and vnc) it'll run ...

Sorry one more thing does anybody know how to run
sudo mount -a
autmatically when boooting as every time I restart I have to do it manualy.
Thanks

You shouldn't need to. That gets done automatically during boot.

If you want to run it anyway add it to /etc/rc.local (above "exit 0")

cron and local dont work i tried that aldready. I will try rest and get back to you They should. Post what you've tried adding to both and any errors you're seeing.

Judging by the spec if you can convert from hdmi to displayport then from display port to USB C it may work. However there is no linux driver available so you'll likely have problems or reduced functionality. You can't use the windows or MacOS drivers as they're for both a different OS and a differe...

Pin 3 or pin 5? And which numbering system are you using?

Pin number maps to different things depending on whether you're using the phsyical pn number, the BCM pin number, wiringpi, or something else.

thagrol

Three ways come to mind: cron, /etc/rc.local, and systemd

Plus .profile and .bashrc if you want your program started on every login rather than on boot.

Seach the forums or google for more info.

None of thew above will run with the noobs frontend but will run when raspbian is started.

@Roken: Tabs or spaces shouldn't matter. Though things could get confused if there are spaces in any of the paths.

Hi Thanks again for the really detailed reply. I don't need a password as you said as I've ticked anonymous access in the router set up. When I use //192.168.0.202/volume(sda1) /media/share1 cifs _netdev,username=pi,guest,uid=pi,gid=pi 0 0 and then sudo mount -a I get the following: mount error(112...

//192.168.0.202/volume$sda1$ /media/share1 cifs _netdev,guest,uid=pi,guid=pi 0 0 I really don't know why it doesn't work :((( Probably because you're not specifying a username/password and, I suspect, you misunderstand what the "guest" mount option does. From "man mount.cifs": guest don't prompt ...

Could be a mount issue. From your mount point (/media/pi/MyPassport) it looks like you're relying on the desktop automount tool to mount the drive. That only happens when a user is logged in to the gui. With no user logged in the mount won't happen. With a different user logged in the drive will mou...

most Raspbian distros automatically log in as user pi on tty1 as part of the boot/startup code No. At least not that I've seen. That only happens when explicty configured to do so not out of the box.
