CLI?!?

[mikejkelley]

How do I get a CLI? I've tried Alt+f2 but it isn't working. Perhaps bcs I have a mini wifi keyboard and f2 can only be had using an additional Fn key? Is the CLI accessible from somewhere in the frontend and I'm just missing it? I only see restart and shutdown. I'm so close to realizing my dream! I only need to get to the CLI so I can try out the GPIO JS kernel. Here's my cab build thus far if anyone's interested: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,112805.msg1197482.html?PHPSESSID=lknts2qamakjl4h6lcknfqf6p7#msg1197482

Using Putty anytime I run sudo I get the following: -sh: sudo: not found

Hello sorry for my english i am french, i don't know that CLI but sudo doesn't exist in recalbox because user is root https://github.com/digitalLumberjack/recalbox-os/wiki/Root-access-on-terminal-(EN) F4 TO GET out of emulationstation ALT+F2 user : root need password : recalboxroot see : https://github.com/digitalLumberjack/recalbox-os/wiki/Manual-(EN)

Thanks but

because

and

Using Putty anytime I run sudo I get the following: -sh: sudo: not found

Ironically I've been able to get the GPIO JS kernel working in emulationstation quickly and easily.

I can get to CLI by using a different keyboard but it's a shame bcs it's a very common keyboard that won't work which means lots of people will have similar problems. I got the GPIO JS driver to install by omitting the sudo commands, but not w/out errors. For one, ./install.sh relies on sudo commands. Current issues; Can't get the GPIO JS drivers to Auto load. Can't build a library in Kodi, can only play individual alb*m folders rather than the music dir

Hello, The Alt+FX shortcuts are commons and it think it's a lack of your keyboard if you can't do it. I'll call that a design failure The gpio drivers are already installed and loadable on recalbox : https://github.com/digitalLumberjack/recalbox-os/wiki/Manual-(EN)#6---gpio-controllers See the recalbox.conf https://github.com/digitalLumberjack/recalbox-os/wiki/recalbox.conf-(EN) Just ONE line to uncomment and you're done...

Hi, thank you but the keyboard does have Alt+Fx functionality, it just doesn't seem to work in recalbox. Possibly bcs of the Fn function. In any event, I think it would be great if the CLI were accessible thru the Shutdown menu.

Ah, I see, great! I think it would be good to update https://github.com/digitalLumberjack/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi w/ that info for anyone else that's interested. I did a GPIO JS search which led me to that page which led me to recalbox, maybe others will take that route as well.
