I have OpenPlotter installed on a RPi, updated en upgraded to the latest version.
That took some time. A backup with a cloned sd-card seemd to be timesaving.
I have tried this and lost a few micro-sd cards.
This is what I did:
First I find out the name of the device (the sc-card with the fully installed OpenPloter) with fdisk -l
Next I unmount the device
Then I make the image (sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=~/Documents/openplotter.img)
Then copy the image to a blank micro-sd card (sudo dd if=Documents/openplotter.img of=path-to-the-sdcard (usulally also /dv/sdb))
That should be it, I think. But I never succeeded in getting this card to boot. The best I achieved was getting the colourfull startup screen.
Whar do I do wrong?
Then I start all over.
I wipe the contents of de card with fdisk -d, make a new partition (fdisk -n), make it bootable (fdisk -a) and create a vfat filesystem (fdisk -t, then choose b).
Then umount and issue the command: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb.
Often an error occurs. I then have a card which cannot be mounted. Sometimes I can rescue the card by creating a new mountpoint (in the terminal or with "Disk").
But sometimes the card is invisible when I insert it.
I now have 2 sd cards in this state. I must have done something wrong. I would very much like to know what that is.
