How to install the client-side on the Raspberry Pi

[yule...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

     I have installed the server-side(Concerto 2 VM Image) on my computer using the VirtualBox. And my content server is configured.

    So I want to use the concerto client with one or more client-side on the Raspberry Pi.

     I try the newest client(Concerto_Player-0.9.2.img). The image has be downloaded and unzipped. Then insert it into the SD Card using the Win32DiskImager.

     But it is not running. The Raspberry Pi is not starting up use this image.

     I try the old version(Concerto_Player-0.6.0.img) also.

     Has anyone know how to install the client on the Raspberry Pi? 

    

Thanks,

Yu

Hello Yu,

The Concerto Player image is intended to be used on an “amd64” system - that is, a traditional (x86 derived) 64-bit computer architecture. It won’t work on the Raspberry Pi, which uses the ARM architecture. Your best course of action would be to use a Raspbian image provided by the Pi folks and then use Concerto in a web browser. For other ideas, you may also want to consult the “sticky” thread about the Raspberry Pi in this group.

Hi August,

Thank you very much for your response.

Now, I use Concerto in a web browser on the Raspberry Pi.

Thank you again.

Best regards,

Yu

Hi Yu, in case you are interested, I have written out exactly what we do to each raspberry pi at our university. So far they are all running really well!

On 1st boot:

• Expand Filesystem
• Change User Password (default user = 'pi', default pass = 'raspberry')
• ************
• Enable Boot to Desktop/Scratch
• Desktop Log in as user 'pi' at the graphical desktop
• Internationalisation options
• Locale, timezone, keyboard
• Advanced Options
• Overscan Disable (works for most screens)
• Hostname <change if desired>

This menu can be accessed from the terminal with sudo raspi-config

Make lxterminal open on boot:

• Under Menu > Accessories, right-click on Terminal and click Add to Deskop
• Open the shortcut and type sudo mkdir /home/pi/.config/autostart
• In terminal as root:
• cp Desktop/lxterminal .config/autostart

Make display stay on:

• sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
• look for [SeatDefault]
• edit line to be xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms

Make a MAC address change, this tells the pi to use the normal mac address as opposed to making a confusing one:

• edit /etc/dhcpcd.conf
• comment out duid and uncomment clientid

Make iceweasel auto open to specific page in fullscreen mode:

• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install iceweasel
• sudo nano /home/pi/.bashrc
• ifconfig (to show ip address if desired)
• iceweasel
• open iceweasel and change default home page to server_ip_here/frontend
• in iceweasel, type about:config and set browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo to 0
• install extension called rkiosk, go back to the concerto URL, and restart chrome
• Reboot

Let me know what you think.

Hi Swanson，

Thank you very for your advices.

Like your case，I am using concerto in a web browser and the concerto can be running on the Raspberry Pi.

The same to you,

Expand Filesystem

        Make lxterminal open

        Make display stay on

Then I make modori browser auto open to specific page in fullscreen mode:

cd /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi 

change autostart(don't need password)

@midori -e Fullscreen -a http://yoursignserver/screen/?mac=yourmacaddress

Last, I use unclutter to hides my mouse cursor.

sudo apt-get install unclutter

Thanks again.

Best regards,

Yu
