Re: need sd card backup on r-pi-3b

I was just thinking of how waiting for wifi to connect hangs my pis booting. Times out at 1 minute 20 seconds or so. If the interface was supposed to be connected to the router to be considered to be up that could be a problem. lo is loopback, 127.0.0.1, always points to the machine you're on.

Re: need sd card backup on r-pi-3b

Try putting your static route in interfaces, in the eth0 section with an up, like iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.71.3/24 netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add default gw 192.168.71.1 I think post-up might be too late, maybe there's a pre-up. On 9/24/17, Gene Heskett

Greetings; Rock64, minimal stretch install. I'd like to auto-start xfce4 on a rock64. Its installed now but startx can't be found. Also, I'm getting warnings as I install stuff because the locale isn't set, how do I fix that on the arm64 version of stretch? I see an /etc/locale.gen but while

Try obconf from openbox, I have 4 workspaces on my hp laptop done with that. I think it's LXDE. They survive reboots for me. On 9/24/17, Alan Corey wrote: > So this is on the rock64 or one of your pis? I thought the rock64 was > too experimental to be able to use apt.

So this is on the rock64 or one of your pis? I thought the rock64 was too experimental to be able to use apt. Raspbian or Debian? On 9/24/17, Gene Heskett wrote: > On Sunday 24 September 2017 11:59:57 Alan Corey wrote: > >> But what's the purpose of having the gateway

Re: need sd card backup on r-pi-3b

But what's the purpose of having the gateway fields in interfaces if not to to be reliant on the routing table? But it's worth a shot, something like route add default gw 192.168.71.1 It's simple enough to undo it with route del default to take it back out if it doesn't work. I dunno, I haven't

There isn't some limit on number of machines that can connect coming from somewhere? Could be political/economic or technical. I see wifi routers advertised as only working with n clients. Sent from my Motorola XT1505 On Sep 24, 2017 4:35 AM, "Mark Morgan Lloyd" <
