Copying Input Profiles to Raspberry Pi

[citymariner]

Hi all,

I've been trying to sort this today with no luck - I'm a total noob to this but I've tried reading and tinkering so I've had to post.

I'm trying to copy an input profile I've created for the Behringer FCB1010 (on my PC) and I want to copy this file to my new RPI 3B+.

I've got putty installed and I'm logged in to that.

I've been using:

Code: Select all

pi@rpi: ~ $ scp Behringer-FCB1010.qxi pi@192.168.0.70 : /root/.qlcplus/inputprofiles

I'm getting permission denied.

I've then tried

Code: Select all

Sudo su

to get to the root.

I then try running:

Code: Select all

root@rpi:/home/pi# scp Behringer-FCB1010.qxi pi@192.168.0.70 : /root/.qlcplus/inputprofile

again and i get back 'No such ;file or directory.

Has anyone got a solution?

I've got everything else working but really need that inputprofile that took ages to put together.

Many thanks in advance!

Josh

I think it's easier if you copy the files on a USB pendrive, plug it on the Pi, mount it and do

Code: Select all

sudo cp /media/usb/abcd.qxi /root/.qlcplus/inputprofiles

The reason why scp doesn't work for you is that you're using the user 'pi' to copy a file in a 'root' folder. That cannot work. You should scp the file in /home/pi first and then "sudo cp" it to the root folder via ssh.

That has worked perfectly, thank you. As soon as I get some money from my next gig there will be another donation.

For any other newbies out there - mounting a USB for the first time takes a few steps.

In the above tutorial it talks about permissions to Read and Write as a Pi user (and not as a superuser).

I mounted the drive using:

Code: Select all

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb

leaving off the

Code: Select all

-o uid=pi,gid=pi

section because the suggested code from Massimo uses sudo at the beginning.

then

Code: Select all

sudo reboot

Once QLC+ had loaded again, the input profile was loaded and selected. I then remembered to go back to webaccess to update the autostart file so it would configure my universes (1 for DMX output; 2 for Midi Input using the profile Behringer-FCB1010)

Thank again for your help and I hope that my 'journey' of taking your advice into fruition helps someone else!
