I want to calibrate my LCD screen, but i have no internet connection to my Raspberry Pi 2B.

The terminal commands I would use with internet on the Raspberry Pi is

cp LCD-show/xinput-calibrator_0.7.5-1_armhf.deb ~/
sudo dpkg -i -B xinput-calibrator_0.7.5-1_armhf.deb

How can i still calibrate without internet?

  • Does that require the internet? dpkg -i just installs the given .deb - I wouldn't expect it to need the internet. Does it fail? What does it say?

  • Hello. The commands you've given don't need the internet per-se: I'm guessing that dpkg is asking for support packages to be downloaded? Have you tried apt-offline to solve this?

  • You can download deb files on your laptop and move them to your Raspberry on a USB stick. Or connect your RPi to your laptop (with a cat5 cable) and use "internet connection sharing" on Windows to get the Raspberry online. Or are you located somewhere where you're off the grid?

Unless you are located somewhere where you're off the grid.

The above command should not require internet access. dpkg simply installs deb files given to it.
