Editing Pi Setup Dec 2018 - Stretch

Decided time to switch to new os and Python 3, this is more or less a log


= Download .... =


*'''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspbian Raspbian - Wikipedia ]''' Some info on versions, I took the latest from:  '''[https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ Download Raspbian for Raspberry Pi ]'''  I got RASPBIAN STRETCH WITH DESKTOP

Use this for install directions 

*'''[https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md Installing operating system images - Raspberry Pi Documentation ]'''

said use etcher so that is what I plan to do.
*'''[https://etcher.io/ Etcher ]'''

= Setup =
next look at:

*'''[https://www.raspberrypi.org/learning/hardware-guide/quickstart/ Raspberry Pi Hardware Guide | Raspberry Pi Learning Resources ]'''


* look at preferences from menu and enable vnc 
* in preferences set the localization to yours

== Update ==

*Before installing new application or service in Raspbian, make sure to always type this into terminal: ( if this file is on your PI use cut and paste )  This takes awhile ( perhaps an hour? )
<pre>
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
</pre>

You many find the following of use as well [[Linux Commands On Pi]]

later you may use 
<pre>
sudo apt-get clean
</pre>

apt-get clean find software packages that are obsolete or not needed in your system and removes them. That results in a cleaner, more performant, and better system. That's good.

= Remote Desktop VNC =

* vnc

Default login. Username: pi. Password: raspberry. So, type pi, enter, raspberry, enter.


== Static Ip Address ==


*[https://www.modmypi.com/blog/how-to-give-your-raspberry-pi-a-static-ip-address-update]
<pre>
sudo leafpad /etc/dhcpcd.conf
</pre>

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the file and add one, or both of the following snippets. 
Depending on whether you want to set a static IP address for a 
wired connection or a wireless connection eth0 = wired, wlan0 = wireless.
You’ll need to edit the numbers in the snippet so they match your network configuration.

*interface = This defines which network interface you are setting the configuration for.
*static ip_address = This is the IP address that you want to set your device to. (Make sure you leave the /24 at the end)
*static routers = This is the IP address of your gateway (probably the IP address or your router)
*static domain_name_servers = This is the IP address of your DNS (probably the IP address of your router). You can add multiple IP addresses here separated with a single space.

* my next Raspberry Pi 182/183  I just pasted this into the bottom of the file 

<pre>

interface eth0

static ip_address=192.168.0.182/24
static routers=192.168.0.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1

interface wlan0

static ip_address=192.168.0.183/24
static routers=192.168.0.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1

</pre>

then sudo reboot to try it out -  ivp 6 may be a good addition to look into

this does part of wifi, but need more

==== finish get wifi working ====

= software installed with package manager =

spyder3
arduino stuff



= Share Net Drive  =

<pre>
which samba	             
</pre>

did not show samba but 
<pre>
sudo apt-get install samba
</pre>

showed it was there -- not this time it did a big install ?? did it remove and install, the mysteries continue

>>> create mount point

<pre>
sudo mkdir /mnt/share1
</pre>

this gave read access
<pre>
sudo mount -t  cifs -o guest  //192.168.0.170/share /mnt/share1
</pre>

read write with this 
<pre>
sudo mount -t cifs -o username="russ",password="passwordhere",workgroup="MSHOME",file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,nobrl //192.168.0.170/share/_Source/rPi  /mnt/share1
</pre>

== Make automatic with fstab ==
https://rasspberrypi.wordpress.com/2012/09/04/mounting-and-automounting-windows-shares-on-raspberry-pi/

2.2 Password Protected Share
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=yourusername,password=yourpassword //WindowsPC/share1 /mnt/mountfoldername
3. Now to check that its mounted , run the following command
$ df -h

== using fstab ==

2018 Note: cannot get this to work any more, only guest mount above, working today

# using fstab   this will let you auto mount
for nano ctrl O  writes a file
<pre>
sudo leafpad /etc/fstab
sudo nano    /etc/fstab            
</pre>


note that fstab may be hidden file
>>
//192.168.0.170/share/_Source/rPi /mnt/share1 cifs user=russ,pass=<password_notin_quotes??>,_netdev 0,0


[http://www.noveldevices.co.uk/rp-cifsinfstab rp-cifsinfstab]

this looks good for stab

  # For Guest Login
      //WindowsPC/Share1 /mnt/mountfoldername cifs guest 0 0

For Password Protected Login
//WindowsPC/Share1 /mnt/mountfoldername cifs username=yourusername,password=yourpassword 0 0

//192.168.0.170/share/_Source/rPi /mnt/share1 cifs user=russ,pass=squeak13,_netdev 0,0

If you make a new entry in fstab it will not auto-mount. Therefore you must reload / refresh the entries. A reboot will do this but that is not a friendly way to do it. A quick way to reload new entries in /etc/fstab (fstab) is to use the mount command:

mount -a

== Updating Python3 ==

Spyder says:You have missing dependencies!

rope >=0.9.4: None (NOK)

Please install them to avoid this message.

ImportError: No module named 'pyperclip'

<pre>
ng:
sudo conda install pyperclip  -- conda not installed, on windows part of spyder, apparently not here

ok:
sudo pip install pyperclip

ok:
sudo pip3 install rope

            
</pre>


== Autostart ==

Update a file but which?  Various suggestions include

*sudo leafpad ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart   would be a new file on my system, this may be outdated

*sudo leafpad ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart   does exist so I will try it.  -- and it worked  added "python3 /home/pi/autoexec.py"
*
* - by editing /etc/rc.local in my case the line added looks like this:  su - pi -c kodi  -- I have not tried this
