Install Raspi Config tool on Ubuntu any device

 Install raspi-config on Ubuntu

There are many reasons one my wish to install raspi-config on Ubuntu,  such as correcting keyboard mapping (a common occurrence with Raspberry Pi keyboards, where the U becomes a 4 and a I becomes a 5 etc, making it impossible to type).

If this is your problem, as it was mine using a late 2012 Mac-Mini with Ubuntu, not a Raspberry Pi, then, as i did, you can follow these steps. First, you need to add the Raspberry Pi repository to your sources list. This can be done by running the following command:

echo "deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ buster main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspberry-pi.list

Next, add the GPG key for the repository to ensure the packages are authenticated:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 7FA3303E

After adding the repository and the key, update your package list:

sudo apt update

Now, you can install raspi-config using the following command:

sudo apt install raspi-config

Once installed, you can run raspi-config by typing:

sudo raspi-config

This will open the configuration tool, allowing you to manage various settings for your Raspberry Pi. If you encounter any issues during the installation, you may need to check if the repository is correctly added and if the package is available in the repository.

How to Stop Ubuntu from Automatically Locking the Screen

To stop Ubuntu from automatically locking the screen, navigate to Settings > Privacy > Screen Lock. Then, toggle the "Automatic Screen Lock" switch to the off position. 

You can also adjust the "Blank screen delay" to prevent the screen from blanking in the first place by setting it to "Never". Here's a more detailed breakdown: Open Settings: Access the system settings, either through the application launcher or by clicking the gear icon in the top-right corner.

 Navigate to Privacy: In the settings menu, locate and click on "Privacy". Select Screen Lock: Under Privacy, find and click on "Screen Lock". Disable Automatic Screen Lock: Locate the "Automatic Screen Lock" toggle switch and switch it to the off position. 

 Adjust Blank Screen Delay (Optional): If you want to prevent the screen from blanking out at all, find the "Blank Screen Delay" setting and change it to "Never". Close Settings: Close the settings window to save your changes.

PRESTO! NO MORE PAIN IN THE ASS SCREENLOCK, WHICH ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN YOU GO FOR A CRAP AND COME BACK TO SEE YOUR RECORDING INTERRUPTED !!

Alternative in Terminal for Debian based Linux;

To deactivate the screen lock in Ubuntu or Debian based distros, using the terminal, you can use the command gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled false. This command will disable the lock screen functionality for the GNOME desktop environment.

Explanation:

• gsettings set:

  This command is used to modify settings within the GSettings configuration system, which is used by GNOME.
• org.gnome.desktop.screensaver:

  This specifies the path within the GSettings system where the screen saver settings are located.
• lock-enabled false:

  This sets the lock-enabled property to false, effectively disabling the screen lock feature.
• 
  
• To re-enable the screen lock, you can use the following command:
• 

• gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true 
• 
  
• This command will re-enable the screen lock functionality. 
• 
  
• Important Considerations:

• This command applies to the GNOME desktop environment.
• The changes are applied immediately, but it is recommended to restart your computer or log out and back in for the changes to fully take effect. 

Easy one liner Shortcode;

• gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled false 
• gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true

Or use Geotag from Flathub

Geotag is a GUI based app for batch or single file location metadata hacking/editing. It can be used to alter the metadata of location. Other apps offer to change metadata for dates, camera or type of image taker (screenshot etc).. So if you prepare your files before uppload, changing metadata, you make yourself less surveillable.

AMENUS FOREVUS

YOURS TRULY;
