When you first start a 3B+, there is a configuration application that runs. How can I restart that from the CLI? I need to start that application to simulate the initial start.

  • @JaromandaX I think OP is talking about the GUI config wizard that was introduced not too long ago. Can't remember the name ATM

  • @JaromandaX true. BTW the name of the GUI wizard is piwiz. Needs admin privileges. See raspberrypi.org/blog/raspbian-update-june-2018
