Raspberry Pi 5 - HDMI Woes & Solution



Tweet

TL;DR

Problem: New Raspberry Pi 5 boots, but no HDMI

Solution: Add "video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60D" to your /boot/cmdline.txt

How to get it done

Boot your device and SSH to it.  

If you can't SSH, follow instructions here

Once logged in:
Become root

sudo su -

Change to the boot directory

cd /boot

Edit the cmdline.txt file.  (vi is always there, but use whatever editor you like)

vi cmdline.txt

Add 

video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60D 

to the beginning of your /boot/cmdline.txt file.  

cmdline.txt is a (long) single line file, so DON'T HIT RETURN.

Save the file. (:wq in vi)

Reboot your device

reboot

Done!

Note: 1920x1080M@60D is a pretty standard setting for most monitors.  

If it doesn't work for you, you may need to adjust.

There are lots of details here, which is how I got this far.

Texas Supreme Court temporarily halts abortion in Cox case



Tweet

From the article:

Four of the women traveled out of state to have abortions; the fifth, whose fetus did not have a chance of surviving, was allowed to deliver only after she became septic, leaving her with permanent physical damage. 

This is not acceptable. Not in any way. 

This is NOT an attempt to protect life. 

This is an attempt to Control Women. Period.
