Safely turn of QBO

Kasper — Wed, 04 May 2022 09:17:39 +0000

What is the best/safest way to turn of the Q.bo?

We have the latest Q.bo running OpenQbo V3. When I connect through SSH and call 'sudo shutdown -h now' or 'sudo halt'. The Raspberry Pi just does a reboot. Shutting down using Raspberry Pi Os graphical user interface gives the same results.

It seems that the only way to really power off the Pi is to press the Q.bo's power button, but I am worried that the SD could get corrupted when doing this. Is there maybe an alternative way?

How to connect to localhost?

seoyeon — Thu, 06 Aug 2020 11:34:16 +0000

I entered localhost:7070 on my web browser to access the web i, But it keeps saying that 'localhost refused to connect'

According to the manual, i can access localhost in administrator mode, how can i be in administrator mode?

I heard that software was updated...I heard that the software was updated this time, so can I access localhost by any chance? Or do I have to go into admin mode? How do I get into Admin Mode..?

I can control the qbo with my scratch...

Help me....

Please shrink V3 Image

p2k — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 09:07:05 +0000

Hi,

I've just downloaded the V3 image and it took ages since the image is nearly 16GB big! After the download I couldn't install the image, because my SD Card seems to be a bit smaller compared to yours.

Could you please shrink the images before you give them out.

This is a little tool, that does this for you.

Thanks

Philipp

PS: pishrink.sh: Shrunk OpenQboV3.0.img from 15G to 7.6G ...

Tonight i give up with mine, I am tired with messing about with it, trying to get it to look straight and not up, tired with it not accepting my google assistant stuff in V3 but it works all fine in V2 etc etc etc too many hours wasted and no real easy answers or help sadly, he is not the Q.Bo i much loved from all the old video's of him years ago, he is now a menace and an annoyance lol

this is the Q.Bo we all loved :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIxoiLmy5mM
