Just a few technotes from the field when preparing a new Raspberry Pi deployment. The following applies to the latest Raspbian Jessie operating system and all Raspbery Pi models.
Works with
- Raspbian Jessie release 2016-05-27
- Raspbian Jessie with PIXEL – 2016-09-23
- Raspbian Stretch with Desktop – 2017-09-07 (New)
(I) Remove Wolfram to save ~700Mb off SD card
sudo apt-get purge wolfram-engine
(II) Setting static IP Address
sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf
#Wired Connection
interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.100.10/24
static routers=192.168.100.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.100.11
#Wireless Connection
interface wlan0
static ip_address=192.168.10.10/24
static routers=192.168.10.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.10.1
(III) Disable Screen Blank
sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
For Raspbian Jessie release, look for:
[SeatDefault]
and insert this line:
xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms
For Raspbian Stretch, look for:
[Seat:*]
and insert this line:
xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms
(IV) Remote Access to the Raspberry Pi GUI CONSOLE desktop
Install x11vnc
sudo apt-get install x11vnc
Run the xvnc server
x11vnc -desktop :0
Look for something similar to XOpenDisplay of “:0” successful.
Remote into your Raspberry Pi using VNC client pointing to x.x.x.x:0
(V) Remote LibreOffice entirely
sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
