Modifying the Config File
-
Sam, this was from one source (above that you pasted). Mo config with the weather data is above that and includes the items I mentioned. BTW, I keyed it separately as I am unable to paste from the Rasberry Pi to my windows PC.
-
@jimb on the pi desktop, menu top left
preferences, pi preferences.
interfaces, check ssh on. ok,
change host name, just look at it, should be raspberrypithen save/exit, reboot
on your PC do
ssh pi@raspberrypiif the userid you created on the pi is pi.
use the password you set when you booted the first time
now you have a terminal on the pi from your PC, and you can copy/paste in both directions…
-
Sam, I remember the name I gave to the Pi, but unfortunately not the password. Is there a way to find it?
-
@jimb np, but you should be able to change it from the preferences without knowing it
-
Sam, I know the name assigned to the rasberry. I now know the password as I have changed it. SSH is not resolving the hostname. So, what is the proper way to populate the following-
ssh {what goes here}@{what goes here}
Example: ssh {{hostname} @ {password} ???
-
-
Sam, the username seems to be OK, but the hostame doesn’t resolve. Even though it shows in preference. Am I missing something
-
@jimb try adding .local after the hostname
or use the IP address of the pi.
-
Sam, beating head against rock… local host didn’t work. I was able to resolve an IP address, but it appeared to be a v6 that would.t work with ssh. I don’t know the next step.
-
Sam, since I’m not making any progress on the weather module I’m going to remark all the lines out for now and move on to other modules.
