missing cmdline.txt(use laptop's keyboard and display for Raspberry Pi)

Former Member

Hello,

I want to use my laptop as display and its keyboard to access my Raspberry Pi based on the directions from here: Use your desktop or laptop screen and keyboard with your Pi | Raspberry Pi

However, I don't have 'cmdline.txt' on my SD Card and I think that's because I installed from NOOBS.

How could I possibly use my laptop's keyboard and display for the Raspberry Pi.

 

Thanks in advance!!

    hi there if for what ever reason you have no "cmdline.txt" then I suggest you copy the lines given here into a file called /boot/cmdline.txt on your RPI.

     

    • dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0
    • console=ttyAMA0,115200
    • kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200
    • console=tty1
    • root=/dev/mmcblk0p2
    • rootfstype=ext4
    • elevator=deadline
    • rootwait


    I believe the documentation you link to in fact discusses the setting up of SSH/VNC.

    If you do not already have a SSH/Xserver on your Windows laptop then I would  suggest using VNC as per Mike's suggestion.
