Very good. I've used three 1920 x 1080 TVs in the house without problems.

It would be interesting to put the TV back in and when the problem occurs, unplug it from the HDMI port and see if things start to work.

Brian,

I have been at this for two days now so I now need a break - my TV is now back where it belongs - away from here and attached to the DVBT2 PVR.

Can you "hot plug" HDMI? I never do, being cautious.

73 for now,

Mike

Apparently you can Hot-Plug HDMI - still, its not for me. Why risk it?

You can Hot Plug USB too - but I had a (expensive 8 core development) PC at work instantly ruined by someone else hot plugging my USB !

Never let anyone else near your PC.

I have just finished building my WinterHill, but I’m having a problem with the software. I have built the SD card including the “ssh” file and all seems okay, Pi boots up fine. Then using Putty to cut and paste the lines of code, one at a time. The down load starts, but then fails.

I’m not too sure where I have gone wrong, I have rebuilt the SD card twice now and following procedure in the installation Manual -3v20a Rev1 to the letter. So what have I missed?

Possibly nothing, Have you tried building it plugged directly into your main router? It was the only way until I replaced a cheap hub in the shack with a Belkin one, ironically culled from a recycling skip when the operatives were not looking.

It seems to go wrong at:

mv: cannot move 'winterhill-main' to 'winterhill/winterhill-main': Directory not empty

This is trying to rename the winterhill-main folder, where the unzipping occurred, to winterhill. It seems to think there already is a winterhill folder, which shouldn't be the case.

Can you post the output from: (-l is lower case L)

cd /home/pi
ls -l

If you see a winterhill folder:

cd winterhill
ls -l

Hi both,

Both the PC and the Pi are plug into the same router. I ran the code as you suggested Brian. It did show a "winterhill", what is that telling us?

It looks like the WH software install has been done more than once, which maybe it has.

The winterhill folder appears to have the correct folders inside, with the addition of the winterhill-main folder. The winterhill-main folder couldn't be renamed to the winterhill folder because a winterhill folder already existed, so winterhill-main was copied into the existing winterhill folder.

There is also a folder called winter, which I don't recognise.

Try this below. It may complain, because some system files that it was expecting to change have already changed, but see how far it gets. Only do it the once. If it fails, do the two ls -l lines as in the previous post.

Brian


cd /home/pi
mv winterhill winterhillxxx

That will effectively get rid of the winterhill folder.

./install_winterhill.sh

Hi Brian,

Ran that and it still fails at the same place.

It failed at this line?

make[1]: *** /lib/modules/5.10.17-v7l+/build/: No such file or directory. Stop.

Did you get this line again?

mv: cannot move 'winterhill-main' to 'winterhill/winterhill-main': Directory not empty

Can you post the output from:

sudo find / -iname 'build'

We can do a Zoom call later if you like - if you can set one up. I've only used Zoom once.

Brian
