Once upon a time one just copied an image to a card, enabled ssh and hey presto, you could log in as user pi with password raspberry. No chance now. I would point out that I'm not, in general, a complete numpty. I've been using Pis (and other similar things) for many many years. So, having found out why the above simple approach doesn't work I have tried:- Use rpi-imager, wasted first attempt because it wasn't obvious where one entered user/password. Second attempt seemed to boot the Pi OK but it never appeared on my LAN so not much help there. (At least my first dd copied image appeared on the LAN) Manually editing userconf.txt with my /etc/shadow encrypted password from my Linux box got to a login prompt but the password is somehow wrong. Finally I managed to get a login working by creating a ~/.ssh/authorized keys file with the public key from my Linux system in it. Phew! -- Chris Green ยท
