Jason, first let me say I think you are doing an amazing thing creating all of these videos. I have watched most of them at least once. I was following this guide series, and it occurred to me there is an easier way to connect to wifi that doesn't require first connecting to a wired connection. Here is an excerpt from www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=254526 : I usually pre-configure the card with ssh and wpa_supplicant.conf files in the small FAT32 "boot" partition. No need for a keyboard, screen or Ethernet connection (completely headless system setup). Write a Raspbian image to the SD card with Etcher. Remove and reinsert the card, so your Windows/Mac OS PC can see the "boot" partition (ignore/canel format warnings). Add an empty file named ssh (or ssh.txt). Add a pre-configured wpa_supplicant.conf file. Safely eject the card and use it to boot the headless Pi computer. The wpa_supplicant.conf file should contain the following. Code: Select all ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1 country=GB network={ ssid="WiFi SSID" psk="WPA/WPA2 passphrase" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK } Edit country=, ssid= and psk= with your information and save the file (use the 2 letter country abbreviation in CAPS). When Raspbian finds a wpa_supplicant.conf file in the "boot" partition it will move it to its correct location and use it to connect to the network. If there was a previous wpa_supplicant.conf file, it will be overwritten, so this can also be used to update WiFi connections if you get a new router or change your router settings.
@KM4ACK4 жыл бұрын
This is the same way I handle my new builds except I don’t bother with the wpa file. I simply connect Ethernet and power and ssh in. From there I update/upgrade before enabling VNC. After that, I am off to the races. 😀 Main reason I don’t bother with the wpa file is that I know I am going to run the autohotspot script during setup which will configure the file for me. 73, de KM4ACK

Jason, with others I have to add my feedback that your time/effort putting these vids together is GREATLY appreciated! What a cool thing it is to live in an era of Internet Elmers! So...here's a question for you. One of the things I notice is that when it comes to doing a VNC connection from my Mac Mini to my R-pi, ....*every time*... I have to SSH in first and enter the vncserver command, $ vncserver :1 -geometry 1920x1080 -depth 24. Then, and only then, am I able to VNC into the Pi. If I fail to do the SSH thing first, I get "The connection was refused by the computer" when I try to VNC into the pi. I've googled this, but everything I see seems to indicate that it's a simple matter of enabling VNC in the config once, then shazzam, you can VNC in any time w/o issues. Not me. :-( Thoughts?
@KM4ACK4 жыл бұрын
You shouldn't have to enable everytime. Should be a once and done. From terminal, sudo raspbi-config and enable VNC under interfaces. Another option is through the GUI. Click Start>Preferences>Raspberry Pi Configurations Once the new window opens choose the interfaces tab and set VNC to enable. Click OK. Reboot and test. 73, de KM4ACK

I have followed all your directions and am able to view the Pi on my laptop and my iPad using VNC all great - for the first time I tried the pi remote and it went into hotspot mode great and I was able to log onto the wifi signal from my iPad, however when I fired up VNC on the iPad I got an error message, it could not connect. I guess because the ip address changed ??? I noticed when I put the pi back in my office everything was OK. I had an IP address for the wireless connection in my home and another on the screen for the hotspot, it said 10.10.10.162 iPad2 Not sure what I should do Jason, probaly missing a simple trick but my 75 year old brain is not as sharp as it was. 73 Graham M7POS

192.168.1.4 is the IP address assigned to the pi by your home router. 10.10.10.162 is the IP address assigned to the iPad when you connected to the Pi's hotspot. You were very close to success. Use your iPad to connect to the Pi's hotspot again. Then when you open VNC use the IP address of 10.10.10.10 and you should be good to go :-) Here's a great video to help you understand the hotspot better - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdepg8qbmMmoe3k.html

Hi Jason, I ran into a problem: I followed your guide to establish a hotspot. Everything worked without any error messages. But when I change the ssid for my home wifi in the .conf file and restart the autohotspotN, the respberry still remembers the old setting and doesn't establish its own hotspot. Even better - it changes the entries in the config file by its own so that next time I look into it the correct settings for my home wifi are reentered. What am I missing?

Hello Jason, After following all your instructions for installing Buster, other software, and ssh and vnc viewer I was not able to get vnc viewer client to work from my Linux Mint Dell laptop. I mentioned this to you in a couple emails. I tried uninstalling vnc viewer server from the RPi3+ and re-installing. I uninstalled vnc viewer client from my laptop and reinstalled. Still the RPi3+ GUI showed on my Linux Mint vnc viewer client window but the only I had any control with was the exit 'X' at the upper right of the window. No other points on the RPi3+ desktop were clickable; not even with the CTRL or Shift keys or combination of both depressed. In between the uninstall of vnc viewer from both the RPi3+ and laptop I tried remmina server and client on the laptop. Those would not work either. Finally, I looked into the 'Preferences' of the vnc viewer client on my laptop and found some items that I thought should be changed from False to True. Finally, I have control RPi3+ with my laptop mouse. You mentioned that we should leave any fixes on the appropriate video when we get the problem solved. I don't say specifically what changes I made. I can document those if anyone feels that is needed. I am happy now that I can communicate headless to my RPi3+ and have a better understanding for other RPi's waiting to be utilized. 72 de KB8AMZ
