Hi,

After successful setting up a Raspberry Pi OMT Player booting up automatically to the service I like to know how to stop it from booting up or in general stop the service and go back to the Desktop mode

Raspberry is new to me (but fun ;-) )

Tnx

To go back to desktop, you can reverse the steps to set it to console.

Quote:

sudo raspi-config

Find the options in the menus:

1 System Options
S5 Boot

And select the desktop option instead of console


To disable the service:

Quote:

sudo systemctl disable omtplayer

My problem is how to get into the console in the first place while the OMTplayer is running or avoid it starting at bootup and go to the console

OK, found a way:

Stop (disconnect) any OMT feed from reaching the Raspberry and reboot it (Ctrl-Alt-Delete) , will end up with an accessible console and let me do sudo raspi-config to change the boot selection

Hey Doggy !

Been a long time ! Hope you're OK !

Here's another solution for you.

RPI (and Linux computers in general) can be controlled remotely with SSH.
Meaning you can access your Pi from your Windows computer terminal and run commands as if you are physically on the Pi.

Let me know if you're interested to know more about this, I'd be glad to help and provide directions.

Bien à toi,
Guillaume
