== What is headless mode? ==

{{Admon/important| Security Warning! | If you are going to use headless mode it is critical that you change the root password as soon as possible, because Pidora is set with a default root password that is publicized.}} Headless mode is a system configuration in which the display deviceenables access to a raspberry pi, keyboardthrough ssh on a network, without the use of a monitor or mouse is lackingkeyboard plugged into the raspberry pi. This mode does require another computer to ssh into the raspberry pi. When this feature is enabled, [[Pidora 18 Firstboot|firstboot]] is bypassedand disabled.

It will also flash the IP Address to use headless mode it is critical that you change on the root password as soon as possible, because Pidora is set with a default root password that is publicizedRaspberry Pi LEDs.}}

== Enabling headless mode Headless Mode on Pidora ==

To enable headless modeHeadless Mode, you will need to create a file named "headless" in inside the boot filesystem file system on your the Raspberry Pi's SD card ''. Create this "headless" file before'' you insert the card into boot your Raspberry Pi.

'''== 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 extensions on 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

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 There are two possible configurations for Headless Mode "DHCP" configuration and "headlessStatic" on thatconfiguration.

{{Admon/important| Note | == DHCP Configuration == If you are using 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 Windows OS you 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 need be read out through the speakers or headphones that are connected to remove the Raspberry Pi.txt file extension Additionally, the IP Address will be flashed through the LED on the headless fileRaspberry 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 [httphttps://www.ehowgithub.com/how_6394953_createctyler/ip-file-extensioninfo/blob/master/README.html More 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 removing your Raspberry Pi, you will need to modify the "headless" file extensions on eHow]}}, adding an IP Address, Gateway, and Netmask, to the file for the configurations to work properly(see samples configs below). ====Required Configuration====

=== DHCP =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.

=== Static Configuration ==Sample Headless Mode Configurations =

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 Gateway, place the following information in the "headless" file:network you are running it on.

=== 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

== Headless ==Graphical Mode is enable with DHCP -- How do I find out my ip-address? Not Disabled====Headless Mode does not disable X, and can run in both Run Level 3 or 5. This means that if you are not planning on using X while in Headless Mode, you should switch to Run Level 3 to save memory.

After you have enabled headless mode with either the DHCP configuration or Static IP configuration[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd#How_do_I_change_the_target_.28runlevel.29_.3F For more information about changing Run Levels on Pidora, the ip address that has been assigned to Raspberry Pi will be played through the speakers '''2 minutes''' after you have powered the Raspberry Pi, and '''30 seconds''' later it will also flash your ip address through Pi's OK/ACT LEDclick here.]

[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 More information about ip-read and ip-flash]
