... RasPiOS Lite and RasPiOS with Desktop are pretty much the same, except that "with desktop" has a lot more packages installed. Go with Lite, you get to sort out what packages you need rather than having a distro with those plus (probably) many packages that you don't need. Now I have L...

drmacro

I didn't realize Lite was that light. No wifi/bluetooth.

Even after a apt install task-gnome-desktop it comes up to the terminal.

Sigh.

I just wanted gnome because it is said to be good for touchscreen use.

Obviously no touchscreen at terminal.

drmacro

I meant vanilla as in the raspberry image of Debian and made no changes. It had what ever desktop that comes with.

'sudo apt install apt install task-gnome-desktop'

is what gave me the error mentioned.

drmacro

I have Debian Bullseye running on a Pi4. Basically vanilla right from the download to SD card. I wanted to try GNOME since it is said to be better for touchscreen use. But, attempts to use apt to install complain about "Conflict : gnome-software but 3-38.1-1 in installed" Get similar compl...

Guess you have SPI enabled on your pi. Disable SPI using raspi-config. Check https://de.pinout.xyz/# for special function on GPIO pin. UART tx,rx pin are also in the list of GPIO pins used by the program. Thanks. That's off. I had checked that. But, I note that Serial Port, Serial Console, and Remo...

drmacro

Note the .ini has been reduced since the previously shown output was generated. So, it only uses #7 currently.

drmacro

It would help if we knew what was in pindict , I assume its the list of pins to be set up, The output from the print statement is essentially printing the pindict: 7 8 17 15 18 23 24 25 and are you using BCM or board numbering scheme. BCM Lastly is there a reason you didn't post all of your code ? ...

drmacro

Well...that's why I noted looking for ideas. The error comes from the code via a cron job. it is thrown in a loop that is setting some pins GPIO.OUT. The error: spapi Mist: /home/mac/PythonProjects/MisterControl/setup.py:103: RuntimeWarning: This channel is already in use, continuing anyway. Use GPI...

drmacro

Python script that starts by using GPIO.setup(). The first time after boot I get a warning that channel is in use. The next time the code runs, no warning. I know I can GPIO.setwarnings(False) to basically ignore it. But, I don't get why the channel is in use, being as no other code I've written is ...

I have installed Debian Bullseye and have a couple things I'd like to set up but have not found direct answers in my searches.

Is it possible to disable software update? Every time I boot the "updates available" pops up on the toolbar.

Is it possible to set screen timeout to not timeout?

drmacro

I have a 3B V1.2 that I hadn't used for a while. Fired it up yesterday with the supply that has been on it for a couple years with no issue...low voltage warning. I have now tried multiple supplies and cables, known good. Monitored with a scope and meter, no dropout or droop, 5.02V to 5.1 on the boa...

drmacro

Yes, I do sync afterwards (the first and second time...).

I guessed the SSD was the same, thanks for the confirmation.

drmacro

I typically download the a Pi image and use dd to put it on an sd card. With brand new sd cards the first time I dd to them the rootfs is always listed as a 256mb partition and not rootfs, boot is fine. In this condition the card will not boot. But, if I perform the same dd command again, no other c...

Thanks to all!

Hi,

Will the 64 bit raspios work with the SSD/USB boot configuration?

I see it was released last May and there is a 8/20/2020 file available.

Is this going to be released officially?

drmacro

Ahh.

I was using an old well used mouse and it apparently takes a lot more effort applied to the MMB to get it to trigger.

Sorry for the chatter.

drmacro

In other Debian based systems I use (XFCE desktop) if I select text in one window, go to another window and click the middle mouse button, the highlighted text from the other window is pasted in the new window. This does not seem to work on the latest Raspberry Pi OS. Is there a way I can configure ...

drmacro

Hmm...I think??? I've tried it after un-mounting and the same results.

I'm doing some Iot/mqtt stuff at the moment with multiple pi's, so I think I'll get the chance to "play" with it again.

drmacro

Hi, I typically used the following in a terminal window on Ubuntu to burn the rasbian image to a SD card: sudo dd bs=4M if=2018-06-27-raspbian-stretch.img of=/dev/sdb then a sync command. Most of the time, it results in a corrupt SD card that won't boot. But, if I run the exact commands again on the...

drmacro

I recently put together a plex server using this case and a Pi 3.

I tried the deep back hat cover, but had to remove it because the Pi kept showing the overheat icon.

I have heat sinks on both chips (but, the case covers the smaller one.

Any thoughts?

drmacro

I use sync after the write by default. Doesn't make any difference.

And physically ejecting makes no difference.

I suspect it has something to do with the partition table before the dd command. But it is whatever Sandisk ships from the factory.

drmacro

I use the following on ubuntu to get a raspbian image to an sd card: sudo dd bs=4M if=2017-04-10-raspbian-jessie.img of=/dev/sdc Works fine unless I'm using a new sd card. In that case, it works the second time. After the first time there the usual 4G root partition with home, bin, etc, root, ... an...

drmacro

OK, after some experimentation it does appear root is read only now.

But, other than df showing filesystem for / being overlay, how would I know? (I know I can create something and re-boot to see if its still there...)

(PS: my apologies for all the chatter.

)

drmacro

Went back and retraced my steps found a couple of things I missed in overlay. Fixed that and re-ran update-initramfs. Now I see no errors, but mount still shows everything as rw. And, if I create something, say in /home/pi, it's there after re-boot. :( Ok, so I read those lines a few more times and ...

drmacro

Ok, so I read those lines a few more times and decided that it was meant that they should be added, I did so.

After boot. dmesg shows: overlayfs: failed to resolve '/upper/data': -2

'mount' shows nothing read only.
