Can't get past "Hey There" screen after fresh install.

[Hawkins00000]

What doesn't work?
after installed and rebooted, I updated the auto-logon, and now I am at the "Hey There" new setup screen, and I don't see mouse and no keyboard input.

What did you already try?
Changed mouse and KB's.
Did and lsusb, and both USB devices are recognized.

General Information:**

• Hardware [e.g. Raspberry Pi, if you have layout issues please also include your screen resolution]
• OS Info: OctoPi]
• OctoDash Version: Latest version

Simply: How do I move past this screen?

Simple question, but nothing I do gets me past this screen,...?

Please and Thank you!

You don't use a touchscreen monitor, do you?

OctoDash hides the mouse by default, since it just looks weird, if you're using a touchscreen. You basically have two options now:

Create the config manually: https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash/wiki/Setup-&-Settings#creating-the-config-manually
Or slightly adjust your /.bashrc file to not hide your mouse pointer. Just change the line xinit -- -nocursor to just xinit. This should enable your cursor again.

Hey, total linux novice. I love the idea of Octodash but do not have a touch screen yet. I am trying to follow your steps for un-hiding the mouse but I have no clue how to edit the file you reference let alone even find it. trying to us Win scp search but no luck. I can SSH but I have no clue how to get to the file to edit it. Much appreciated!!

Ok that is fairly simple:

• Usually most of your files are living in your user directory (abbreviated as "~", full path will be something like "/home/pi/" - both of these are pointing to the exact same location)
• files that start with a . are hidden files by default, so you can't list them with ls, if you want to see all files (including the hidden ones) use ls -a

Now to your question:

• You want to edit that file with a text editor (nano is the most convenient one, if you're used to GUI programs) so to edit the file execute:
  nano ~/.bashrc
• This will open up the file and you can make changes (there is no cursor support so use the arrow keys to navigate to the correct place and delete the -- -nocursor part)
• Hit CTRL + X to exit
• Confirm with "Y" and then enter to overwrite
• Reboot

Hey thanks a lot for the thorough response. I figured it out by following up on another issue I found. The nano ~/.bashrc worked.
I appreciate the description of how the file structure works a little. I have it up and running and, though its not made for a mouse, it works fine. I will get a touch screen in the near future. I've seen it somewhere before but I cant find the list of verified screens,
While I'm at it, is it possible to extrude filament besides a filament change?

Screenlist can be found here: https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash/wiki/Supported-Devices#recommended-screens. The first three are known to be working great, the bottom 2 should work fine, but I haven't heard anybody specifically mentioning that they work OOB.

You can change your custom actions to include extrude / retract commands. There is currently no other way though.

I try to get into the .bashrc but when I do I don’t see anything that says Xinit no cursor
