I had a working RPi-0 that I could access from anywhere via VNC through the home WiFi, or access directly via hot-spot and VNC when out of range of that WiFi. All was good, then I lost my home WiFi and router.What a pain that creates! Even using the same WiFi name and password, the IP address changed with the new router and everything connected that was had to establish a connection again. I had to enable pass-through for devices that needed it, and next on my list was the Rpi-0, but while I could connect via its local hotspot, since it did not recognize the network, I could not get it to list any available WiFi spots and just had the message "no wireless interface found". I tried editing the wpa_supplicant.conf" file and was only told I had no permission to save that file. Sheesh! So I thought I would just run BAP again and see if it walked me through getting WiFi back...big mistake! I was NOT connected to the internet, so that caused all sorts of problems.

Then a brainstorm...if the hotspot is working, of course it can't connect! Disable the hotspot and there comes the list of available routers and I was on. However, now my wallpaper has disappeared and if I try to run BAP I get an error message "Invalid desktop entry file: '/usr/share/applications/build-a-pi.desktop' and can go no further. What now?

Vic,

You may have deleted part or all of the pi-build directory when you attempted to update but wasn't connected to the internet. To recover, run the following:
cd
rm -rf ~/pi-build
git clone https://github.com/km4ack/pi-build.git
--

Thanks, that script restored the BAP function! Now everything is working again (did I mention that a changed IP address is a real pain?) and the only thing I seem to have lost are some of the wallpaper choices I had before, but that is trivial and I can download something for that.
