These are some informal setup notes for a R Pi -- really just for my use, may write up later
Bring Your System Up to Date ===
- Before installing new application or service in Raspbian, make sure to
- always type this into terminal: ( if this file in on your PI use cut an d paste
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
===Set Up Remote Desktop =
use this command to setup the pi
sudo apt-get install xrdp
on the windows machine go to router admin and get tcpip address of the pi or
on the pi issue the command
ifconfig
and read the tcpip address of the pi( inet addr )
on the windows machine run "Remote Desktop Connection" in it enter the pi address and the user name ( default pi )
- click connect, if you need a password the default is raspberry.
- you should now be able to use your windows machine as the keyboard, mouse, and
- screen.
- if this step does not work try a reboot of the pi and try again, if that does not work
- try googling, it is beyond me.
