If you havent run into this problem yet let me put it out there. On the side tabs if you change them that most of us will. You have to be aware that when clicking on those tabs at will open whatever shortcut you put there on an internal webpage inside the dashboard like in a . Not many websites will let you do that so you will either get an error that the page cant open or if it opens it will be completely out of proportion. I had to modified this so whatever I put on the tabs open in a separate tab on the browser. That way it works. Customization is a bit restricted as I wanted to get rid of the tabs and I broke the dashboard. Still working on it. Also wanted to use the tab to just open another instance of dashboard to have more windows but so far haven't been able to get it to work but only been working on it on and off so soon I will hopefully get some results. Dont take me wrong great project and works well if you don't modify it much except just the images.

In the file /etc/nginx/default.d/security.conf comment the line below with a "#" in front, like this: # add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"; 3. run this command to switch back to Read Only mode: rpi-ro 4. then reboot the pi-star That enables the pi-star embedding on . 73

"this" is an HTML file and a couple of javascript files. The only thing that's "Running" is a web browser for this to come up. You can set up a VM on a server with this in a web browser being auto-loaded at boot, and nothing else on it except Firefox or other browser, or you can install everything on an RPi at your desk.

I'm having trouble getting this to work in KDE Plasma 6: nothing displays other than date and time in upper left corner. It does work in Gnome. Both desktop environments are running on openSUSE's microOS variant. It also works fine on Windows 11. I've tried it in both Firefox and Brave: no problem with either on Gnome. I don't know if it's down to something in Plasma, or if it's due to microOS Plasma (aka Kalpa) being in alpha stage, while microOS Gnome (aka Aeon) is at release candidate stage. I'll keep plugging away at it. If anyone knows why this is happening, please let me know so I'm not spending time reinventing the wheel. 73 de Daryl, AE6DD

Hamclock is on 8081, however it also uses 8080 to provide you with related content and settings that you can perform. If you want to force a reload of Hamclock, or an upgrade, you push those to 8080. But the live is on 8081. (*at least that's what I see on my setup, and I didn't reconfigure Hamclock on my setup at all.)
