We can't shut it down without remote access. Remote access is broken. We can't fix that without a monitor attached to it where it sits right now. Bill Dudley On Aug 21, 2017 11:50 AM, "Jim Scheef via vcf-midatlantic" < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
I know you guys are way smarter than this, but why not remove the Pi from the rack, take it to the required monitor (and keyboard, and return it when fixed? Since it isn't working anyway, no one will miss it. when it is working, it will be apparent (on the same network), and you can move it back. The reboot will prove it is fixed and all this will well - or am I missing something? This must be are more complicated that I immagined. Jim

Right, kind of inconvenient, but you can use one of them to fix the problem you're having, then configure the resolutions so that you can use the regular monitor you already have, or set it to use a serial console. Ideally, the pi would run and do it's thing without *ever* needing a monitor.

But you already have multiple HDMI displays in the museum? I'm not
sure what more you need?
We have one mounted to the museum ceiling and another mounted to the hallway ceiling.
Those are both 32" and not exactly in convenient locations for this purpose. :)
We need a smaller one that would live inside the rack.
