Hello Jonathane.
your installation errors were like this ?

What did you do to resolve your installation issues?
Best regards

Well. I thought I’d finished. It shut down and wouldn’t start up. So I rebooted the pi and now it wants a password. It wont recognise raspberry and I haven’t set one. Seriously never thought this would be so difficult.

@jonathane haven’t set one… then just hit enter…

but the base PI os install usually has a password… try 'pi ’ too

@sdetweil thanks nothing worked. Very odd. Back to the drawing board.

@jonathane what OS image did u use for memory card?

jonathane

@sdetweil Raspian. I 're flashed the card and have it going again but can find a way to stop it from “sleeping” I tried some script but it didn’t work. Any idea?

sdetweil

@jonathane u mean screensaver?

jonathane

@sdetweil yes

Personally, I would install xscreensaver and use that to disable the screensaver.

In your terminal
sudo apt-get install xscreensaver

THEN
sudo reboot

Run xscreensaver. Choose Disable Screensaver. Done.
