Did you try "ssh pi@..." where the X's are the IP address of the pi?

Re: RealVNC loses connection
Carlos,
The first thing I would check is what is the signal strength from your Pi to the WiFi router.? You can do this with this simple command:
sudo iw wlan0 station dump | grep signal | awk

Re: RealVNC loses connection
Hello Carlos,
Ah.. ok, I didn't remember hearing the Rpi was on wifi. None the less, I bet the PC and the Rpi are still on the same LAN so while they are indeed using the router, they aren't going

Re: RealVNC loses connection
David thanks for your help.
Since you're doing a connection from one internal host to another internal host, you are NOT going through your router or using it's port forward setting.

I have been booting debian environments from thumb drives for 15+ years,
since "live" iso releases became a thing. Very handy for poking around the

Ok, I know what those are, so you are booting off those instead of the micro SD drive, right?
I watched a video that talked about doing that, but am not sure I wanted to go that
route at this time.

Hello David,
The whole issue of "finding the card wiped" is just bizzare to me. It's not common so something else must be happening here assuming that once you shutdown the Rpi with a "sudo

Hi
In the Pi menu selection it is I think under Preferences, or Utilities, and is a standard item for
creating a backup. It isn't real fast but it does work.

Hi
Don't know what "USB Flash" is, I just go to the menu item to backup SD card, make
sure to have the backup disk in the adapter and let it go. I agree it isn't real fast but then

Hi James, I did try putting the card back in the Pi, and could not connect via SSH. I have not reformatted the same card--I used a different one.

Dave, thanks for sharing your experience. I will re-examine the cards on a Linux system and see if there is anything there. However the Pi would not take my SSH so I am not optimistic.

David, thank you for the very helpful information. The SD card is a 32 GB SanDisk and the reader is built into the same laptop I used to flash the image. I used an SD adapter for Micro SD with it.
