I have a raspberry pi device and I am wanting to use it to drive a monitor at our workplace which will show operational stats and monitor service up time.
So I just want a base desktop plus chrome installed.
So far I have downloaded the desktop from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-desktop/ and I then flash this onto a memory card.
When I do this however the filesystem reports as iso9660 and the size of the filesystem is the same as the size of the image I downloaded.
This does not sound ideal as it sounds like it will not only be read only but might not have space to fit the extra installs that I need...
Please can somebody point me in the right direction...
sudo raspi-config --expand-rootfs
.Debian with Raspberry Pi Desktop is the Foundation’s operating system for PC and Mac
that won't work on a Raspberry Pi - what you'll want to download is raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbiansudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gvfs raspberrypi-ui-mods xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo lxterminal
. That should fit on a 4GB card.
