    Hi there,

    Is it possible to have WebVisu working without having to connect to ethernet? I am trying to have a rasberry with a touchscreen working as a "Kiosk" but it does not like the fact that the rasperry is not connected to any LAN. Is there a way to achieve this? Thank you.

    Hi, the problem is when you have no network, there is no ethernet comms for a default raspberry installation.

    one way is to use auto instead of hotplug:

    edit /etc/network/interfaces
    
    if the following line is not there, add it:
    auto eth0
    
    if the following line is there, remove it:
    allow-hotplug eth0
    
    save and close the file
    
    reboot
    

    another way would be to add a loopback adapter.

    I am not sure if this is valid for the current OS, so let everyone know if either of these work for you.

      thanks so much for your suggestions Campbell.

      Unfortunately your first suggestion did not work.

      I will try you second suggestion today and will let you know. Thank you.

      I just tried the loopback solution it did not work. If you have any other suggestions I could try, that would be great if not, thank you for your help. :)
