But you can copy the backup zip file and wpa_supplicant.conf to the new image and that should get you back to where you were nice and simply.

Re: Pi-star Change Password

I cannot access my Pi-Star Hotspot. I must have changed the Password, and probably the User Name? But I don't remember what I changed it to, as it was over a year ago... Please can anyone tell me how I can access my Hotspot? When I try to access it via it's IP address, it requests a User Name and P...

Re: Restore 4.2.1 on macOS not working

Just save the backup zip to the root directory as you would with wpa_supplicant.conf and reboot, it should restore the backup automagically.

Re: Screensaver

I've always used the scrolling screen as a way of knowing that the hotspot is still working, it doesn't begin to scroll until everything is initialised correctly.

Re: Restore backup from existing 4.1.7 to fresh 4.2.1?

Yes, it worked for me going from 4.1.8 to 4.2.1 as I just placed the zip backup and the wpa_supplicant.conf files on the boot partition and it just did it.

The Pi Zero 2 W is a lot nicer for running the dashboard!

Re: Zumspot Libre Not upgrading

You could try an ssh connection to the Pi-Star and then use the pistar-zumspotflash command after having used wget to retrieve the firmware from the page suggested.

I don't know if it will work, but it has to be worth a go. You will need to use rpi-rw so that the card is writable.

Re: Loss of ttyAMA0 with 4.2.0

Can we do some kind of remote session, I'd love to know more about how this is broken for you. In the mean time I'll also do some more testing here and see if I can see what is up, the above cleaned mine up at least. Should be possible, name your poison. Just started up a live log and rebooted. As ...
