Re: Incorrect time and date

You did not indicate which version of Pi-Star image you're running here and what hardware it's running on. It looks like you've got several problems going on here. But my pi-star is stuck on GMT or UTC even though my pi is on BST For starters, let's see what time zone your system thinks it in: sudo ...

Re: raspberry pi with ssd

DId you modify the Pi-Star image according to the instructions given above BEFORE you transferred it to an SSD? The modifications required to boot from non-microSD cards must be applied on a booted microSD card image before cloning the image to a different kind of device, regardless of whether that ...

Re: Can I run Pi-Star without Wi-Fi?

Yes, you can run ethernet only, without wifi. Generally, the hotspot should connect to ethernet as its first choice, and basically ignore the wifi thereafter, assuming an ethernet connection is valid/viable at bootup. Things can get messed up after that if that connection window is missed. Have you ...

Re: 4.3.0 Beta feedback

Can the 4.3 version be burned to a USB drive and then used as a boot drive on a pi? Not sure, never been interested in doing so. SD cards are become harder to come by, especially in small sizes: a 32gb USB drive can be had for the same price as an 8gb SD card, for instance. USB's are faster, way fa...
