Is there a modern tutorial for current builds of Raspberry Pi OS #77

I'm following the guide, but I'm not entirely certain I need to mess with / break the networking utilities, since the guide is old enough to refer to Raspbian, rather than Raspberry Pi OS?? (bad rename!)

Has anyone got this working recently? I specifically started the tutorial from : https://github.com/homeworkc/lazycast (Build Binaries)

I have got all the way to the stage of the Pi doing this.

pi@pi3b:~/lazycast $ ./all.sh p2p-dev-wlan0 wlan0 Selected interface 'p2p-wlan0-0' Available interfaces: p2p-wlan0-0 p2p-dev-wlan0 wlan0 already on p2p-wlan0-0 The display is ready Your device is called: pi3b PIN: 31415926

I think I would actually prefer mice mode, but that comes up with this.

pi@pi3b:~/lazycast $ ./mice.py Warning: This machine has multiple IP addresses: 192.168.0.90 192.168.173.1 169.254.192.208 A PC will try to connect to 192.168.0.90 directly if mDNS fails Set the variable "ipstr" in mice.py to another IP manually if 192.168.0.90 does not work Error: Interface wlan0 was not found Error: Invalid Arguements Traceback (most recent call last): File "./mice.py", line 204, in p2p_group_add_test.setarguments() NameError: name 'p2p_group_add_test' is not defined

Can someone explain to me what mice mode means? (Miracast over Infrastructure) I would strongly highly prefer to stay connected to my own wireless network (for work purposes) and still be able to broadcast, without establishing a direct connection (only) to the Pi itself. Furthermore, I'm happy to use ethernet on the Pi, not Wireless (either) but ultimately I don't want to have to lose my connection to the office.

Is that what mice mode means? Either way, it's not working.

For MICE to work, you need to install NetworkManager. There is currently no workaround for this requirement. I suggest using a spare SD card with a fresh install to test the system first before applying it to your main system.
