Your above procedure does not work for a headless system. The first boot of the burned SD, whether one removed the reconfig file or not, will repartition the SD. So no need to do that afterward, unless one really wants to have a different partition layout. I don't. So no need for gptsync in my case. When one did not remove the reconfig file the resulting RPi system does not work headless, but at least one has a repartitioned SD. So after that, one can remove the reconfig file and boot the SD again, after which headless works. This works for me. When one removed the reconfig file before the first boot of the SD card the system does not work headless. I have no clue how to fix that. Maybe removing the reconfig file and repartitioning of the SD card to your liking using gparted and after that using gptsync, booting that SD for the first time may give you a headless working system. I tried that without gptsync and that did not work. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscr...@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+ow...@opensuse.org
