The Lakka, the Problems and the Noob

Hey guys, nice to meet you all. Here is my list of problems and doubts, hope you can help me out. I’m using a Raspberry Pi 4 4gb Original RPi Power Cable Argon One case 1x 8Bitdo SN30 1x PS4 Controller v2

  1. I’m brazilian, how can I change the keyboard layout?
  2. Is there any shortcut on keyboard to access Command Line like on Retropie (there we just press F4, for example)
  3. Can’t connect any controller. Tried everything on the Docs related. I will describe my doubts on that doc in later posts. Any idea on how can I go on?
  4. Can we have a shortcut to change Time zones?
  5. I need to install the Argon One Safe Shutdown script, is there any way?

1.) without any controllers plugged in, go to settings > input > user 1 binds and you can bind different keyboard keys there. Most of the keyboard keys are reserved for various hotkeys, but you can unmap them by going into settings > input > hotkey binds and selecting any of the conflicting hotkeys and press the ‘del’ key on your keyboard to unbind it.

2.) I don’t think you can get to the command line directly. You can SSH into it from another machine, though.

3.) The controllers you mentioned should be recognized and autoconfigured as soon as you plug them in.

4.) I don’t actually know where to adjust timezones/clock, sorry.

5.) if it’s just a script that can go anywhere, you can just throw it on your SD card. If it needs to go into a specific place, much of Lakka’s filesystem is read-only, unfortunately, and there’s not much to be done about that, AFAIK.

Hi, thanks for your quick response

  1. My problem was to connect into wifi, my pass uses “;” and i didn’t find at that time. Random button press solved my problem

  2. I’ve connected my 8Bitdo, my mistake was: 3.1 Forgot to reset 3.2 Forgot how to enter in Pairing Mode 3.3 On this line " copy the device address (e.g. E4:17:D8:3E:6A:7D) and type the following:

connect <device_addr>

I’ve typed

  3.3.1 

E4:17:D8:3E:6A:7D connect <device_addr>

then 3.3.2

connect < E4:17:D8:3E:6A:7D>

Now I did it right, and works fine

  1. It’s a script for safe shutdown
curl https://download.argon40.com/argonl.sh | bash

but when I press enter, the following message appears:

-sh: curl: not found

The instructions for changing timezones are here: https://www.lakka.tv/doc/Timezone-settings/

But you’ll have to log into the command line for that, that’s how to access it (via SSH): https://www.lakka.tv/doc/Accessing-Lakka-command-line-interface/

I wasn’t clear on my question, I wanted to know if I could change Timezone on XMB, and now I know (the answer is not). Thanks for your time
