Re: Releasing the TV before shutting down ?

Andy,

I have no idea what you are saying here.   I'm supposed to be "SSHing" ?

I think the whole "SSH distraction" arose when

I, the OP, was

wondered how you'd type a command when you couldn't see what you were
typing because the screen would be black ...

...

I think most people could manage to type a command "blind" to re-enable
the screen,

I seem to have a couple of years of experience with myself (duh :-) ), and
have noticed that I am /very/ likely to make typos when trying to do that.
Even to lauhghable proportions when I'm tired.

But thats not the point.

but then someone suggested you could SSH to the Pi from somewhere else to
type the command to re-enable the screen

The one suggesting it was Lawrence.   And his whole suggestion was exactly
four characters, "SSH?".   IOW, not having /any/ of the info you, in the
above, have provided (and he still hasn't by the way).

After which I wrote that that would be solving one problem but by it
creating another.

Based on his responses I had to conclude that Lawrence has absolutily no
idea what I'm talking about, so I asked him to explain his solution.  Hey,
perhaps his SSH solution is different from the one I know, and cannot ever
be(come) a problem.

I'm still waiting for that explanation though, as no matter how strongly I
indicated I need some he refuses to supply it.   All he's posted is a few
words which start with "SSH" - without any explanation to them - and a few
iterations of "remote machine" - again, without a sliver of explanation of
what it is or how its supposed to be used.


So yes, there is a distraction going on, but it isn't the "SSH?" suggestion
one itself (it might have worked in quite a few circumstances).  Its
Lawrence there verbally dancing around, trying to evade having to say
anything at all.  Why ? Only he knows.

... Though my guess is that he doesn't actually know much of anything about
it. Just some "big words" he tried to impress me with.
