Thanks Ally. I hope to see a tutorial soon. Is there a M$Windows installer to manage Berryboot?

I am storing the zip package on Google drive now. I highly recommend using Windows sd card formatting software to format your sd card to fat32. I find that using linux gparted doesn't work. fatdogarm people recommend this https://archive.org/details/Puppy_Linux_Fatdog_Arm_Beta

New version fatdogarm-02-08-2018.zip SSH clone ---> dropbear is loaded automatically so that the user can use SSH from another computer to set the raspberry pi board . After successful install you can use
(fill in your own raspberrypi address) to make a connection over the ethernet cable. Also whatever mp3 files that are placed in Music folder will be played automatically at bootup time by playmusic app. I am doing this to make a music machine . It will be able to bootup headless and play music out of the analog jack. ________________________________________________________ |

A quick note on how to connect to a samba server. Networking should be enabled. See in tray or type 'ifconfig' in terminal Launch 'Fatdog Connect' from start menu. Hopefully it will find your server's address. Then fill in the share name. If you don't know it then click on Share list and it will be shown somewhere. Common Windows share name is 'ShareDocs' Puppy linux uses 'puppyshare' or 'shares' |

Here is my setup. Note that the raspberry pi2 doesn't have a keyboard or monitor. x11vnc can be used by connecting with SSH first, then type 'x11vnc' in SSH terminal in main computer. Password is woofwoof. I use vnc viewer in fatdog linux. Xming in windows. _______________________________________________

New version available first post: fatdogarm-02-12-2018.zip 219mb md5ssum: 285ccf5e0b6f12d518b878d43dba969d https://drive.google.com/open?id=1t1-sQHNp3PHZwsnqKsNR1DJXpLM4wMSc 1) I made change to playmusic startup script so that it won't launch during bootup if /Music folder is empty 2) Removed the berryboot kernel which makes the zip file smaller. 3) I included omxplayer-loop script (in /usr/bin) so I can play the mp3 files in /Music without the need of a GUI app I got the script from Raspberry pi forum... https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=26277 I modified to FILES=`ls /aufs/devbase/Music/*.mp3` ____________________________________________

headless wireless raspberry pi2 I have found a way to make my Raspberry pi2 into a headless wireless machine that is connected to a home network. Method: I install my version of fatdogarm onto a SD card formatted fat32 in windows as usual. Note: savefile=none I boot up my raspberry pi and connect to a wireless home network by using the Control Panel or simply typing 'network-setup.sh' in terminal. I choose my home network which is Cisco99987 (see image) from a list of all available. I made sure it is configured as shown in image. Check that your wireless network is working by typing 'ifconfig' in terminal.
You can see that there is an internet address for wlan0 ---> 192.168.1.137 Also check if the configuration of the wireless home network has been saved to disk by looking at the file /etc/network-setup/access/.... The file there should have your settings. The password is encoded for safety.

Continuing wireless setup... We need to load a savefile at bootup The following change to the file cmdline.txt will load the default save file called 'fdsave.ext'
EDIT: I now use savefile=direct:local when I first boot up Add any more apps from fatdog's repository if you wish... Now we create the save file by simply selecting 'Reboot' at the start menu. You are led thru the procedure of creating a save file. It will be located on your SD card. Be sure the name is 'fdsave.ext' and save on your sd card. It will take a couple of minutes to create. This save file has the scripts and apps that you have added. _________________________________________________________ There are windows utility apps like Advanced ip scanner and putty which are useful for working with a headless machine. If you do have a monitor attached to your pi2, then check the wireless network by typing 'ifconfig' in terminal. You can try 'ping' command to another machine as well. When you know the other machine's address you can use 'fatdog connect' to attach to a server in you network. However I should point out that I want to use this raspberry pi2 as a headless music machine. So I have set it up so that it plays the music files located in /Music automatically when first booted. It uses the play music script by Thunor. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=73761 It loops endlessly, so un-plug the computer to stop. _______________________________________________ Last edited by don570 on Sat 24 Feb 2018, 14:15; edited 6 times in total |

There are two ways to edit a text file in fatdogarm if you have a headless machine.
or use midnight commander

Here are some tips when running a headless wireless raspberry pi2. 1) Good connections are important!! The music should sound clear i.e. no hum, if you have made the proper connections. 2) First check that your setup is working properly by attaching a HDMI monitor and some speakers (or use headphones as alternative). Check that your wireless network is connecting consistently when first booted. You can put a music file in /Music folder to check if playmusic script is working. 3) With another PC in your network you can test SSH and x11vnc. (You will need a x11vnc viewer. Fatdog linux uses turbovnc viewer Windows computers use Xming) ____________________________________________ |
