== What is headless mode? ==
Headless {{Admon/important| Security Warning! | If you are going to use headless mode it is a system configuration in which critical that you change the display deviceroot password as soon as possible, keyboard, or mouse because Pidora is lacking. When this feature is enabled, [[Pidora 18 Firstboot|firstboot]] set with a default root password that is bypassedpublicized.}}
{{Admon/important| Security Warning! | If you are going Headless mode is a system configuration which enables access to a raspberry pi, through ssh on a network, without the use headless of a monitor or keyboard plugged into the raspberry pi. This mode it does require another computer to ssh into the raspberry pi. When this feature is critical that you change the root password as soon as possibleenabled, because [[Pidora 18 Firstboot|firstboot]] is set with a default root password that is publicizedbypassed and disabled. Additionally, Headless Mode will enable services to read your IP Address through plugged in speakers or headphones. It will also flash the IP Address to you on the Raspberry Pi LEDs.}}
== Enabling headless mode Headless Mode on Pidora ==
Tutorial Video:To enable Headless Mode, create a file named "headless" inside the boot file system on the Raspberry Pi's SD card. Create this "headless" file before you boot your Raspberry Pi.
http://youtu.be/ALUAmw6Mz_o== Enable Headless Mode On Linux ==
If you would like to enable headless mode, you will need to create a file named "headless" in the following directory on your SD cardTutorial Video: http://youtu.be/ALUAmw6Mz_o
/Insert the SD card into your system, and create a file named "headless" in the filesystem labelled "boot".
== Enable Headless Mode On Windows ==
{{Admon/important| Note | If you are using a Windows OS you will need to remove the .txt file extension on the headless file.
[http://www.ehow.com/how_6394953_create-file-extension.html More information on removing file extensionson eHow]}}Insert the SD card into your system. Only the boot filesystem will be made available, because Windows will not be able to read other partitions on the card. Create a file named "headless" on that partition There are two possible configurations for Headless Mode "DHCP" configuration and "Static" configuration. == DHCP Configuration == If you would like to configure the Raspberry Pi to use DHCP, ''leave the "headless" file empty'', and the Raspberry Pi should be assigned an IP Address dynamically. ====Optional Configuration====If "RESIZE" is in the "headless" file, the root filesystem will be expanded to the maximum size of the sd card via the service rootfs-resize. If "SWAP"(requires the value in megabytes) exists in the "headless" file, a swap file will be created of the specified size, and then activated.  RESIZE SWAP=[Size of swap in megabytes] ====How do I find my IP Address? ==== Once Headless Mode has been Enabled, and the Raspberry Pi has finished booting, the IP Address of the Raspberry Pi will be read out through the speakers or headphones that are connected to the Raspberry Pi. Additionally, the IP Address will be flashed through the LED on the Raspberry Pi soon after the IP Address is read through the speakers.  1 - 9 short flashes indicate the digits 1 - 9 10 short flashes indicate the digit 0 a long flash indicates an octet separator (dot) a brief pause separates digits [https://github.com/ctyler/ip-info/blob/master/README.md For more information about IP Address reading and IP Address flashing, click here] == Static Configuration == If you would like to set a static, non-changing, IP Address on your Raspberry Pi, you will need to modify the "headless" file, adding an IP Address, Gateway, and Netmask, to the file for the configurations to work properly(see samples configs below). ====Required Configuration====  IPADDR=[IP Address of Raspberry Pi] NETMASK=[Mask to define network subnet] GATEWAY=[IP Address of router/gateway]

There are two possible configurations for headless-mode "DHCP" configuration and "Static" configuration. RESIZE SWAP=[Size of swap in megabytes]
=Sample Headless Mode Configurations == DHCP Configuration ===If you would like to obtain an ip address dynamically via DHCPcreate an empty file in the boot directory named "headless"
=== Static Configuration ===If Below are sample configurations, they may require you would like to specify a enter valid ip information specific IP address you will need to include the IP Address, Netmask and Gatewaynetwork you are running it on.Create a file called "headless" and include the following information
=== Sample headless file =Static Configuration (without rootfs resizing or swap creation)==== IPADDR=192.168.1.105 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
====Static Configuration(with rootfs resizing and swap creation)====
IPADDR=192.168.1.105
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
RESIZE
SWAP=512
 
====Dynamic Configuration(with rootfs resizing and swap creation)====
RESIZE
SWAP=512
 
= SSH to The Headless Pi =
 
Default User: root
Default Password: raspberrypi
ssh root@{ip_address}
 
= Known Bugs and Features =
 
====Two IP Addresses====
When switching in between Headless Mode Configuration states, static ip to dynamic ip, or dynamic ip to static ip, both IP Addresses from each configuration will be active for the single boot, until a reboot takes place.
== Headless ==Graphical Mode is enable how do I find out what my ip-address? Not Disabled====After you have enabled headless mode with either the DHCP configuration Headless Mode does not disable X, and can run in both Run Level 3 or Static IP configuration, the ip address 5. This means that has been assigned to Raspberry Pi will be played through the speakers "'''2 minutes'''" after if you have powered the Raspberry Piare not planning on using X while in Headless Mode, "'''30 seconds'''" after the ip information has been played it will also flash your ip address through Pi's LED lightsyou should switch to Run Level 3 to save memory.

https://github====Slower Boot====When running headless mode, the speed of the boot is slowed down, this is due to a network change during boot.com/ctyler/ip-info/blob/master/README.md
