New to Rune

Jolida

Hi. I am a first time Linux user who has absolutely zero idea about using the operating system. I am able to use Windows & Mac but this is my first time with Linux. As per the instructions I have downloaded & burnt the Rune OS to my sd card & booted up my Rpi 3. I use an HDMI monitor & I'm unable to see the mouse cursor which I guess has been disabled by default. How do I go into the Terminal or Kernel whatever it's called to enable it, as the RuneOS boots to the RuneUI by default? Please guide me to a thread if it's already been diacussed earlier. Thanks

Hi Jolida,

welcome to Rune Audio.

I use an HDMI monitor & I'm unable to see the mouse cursor which I guess has been disabled by default.

Yes it is disabled, because it is optimized for 7" touch displays.
The cursor can be enabled by editing a xinitrc (see here).

You have to get your Raspberry Pi on your network and connect to it via ssh.

Hi Jolida,

OK. Where can i find instructions for doing that?

For what?

- The cursor => see my last post.
- The network => grab a ethernet cable and connect it to your router.

Hi Jolida,

I'm unable to access shared folders from my Mac or Windows into Rune.

Without further information it is impossible to help.
What are the error messages you get on the sources page?

You are probably don't have the mount point correct. I just created a new image and it took two tries to get it correct with my notes.

I also had to use the username/password on the mount point to get it working. If you see a red X you know the Pi couldn't mount the file system.
