Firefox / Chromium issue, text field loses focus when typing, page scroll up/down after using mwheel
System info:
- Raspberry Pi 5 8gb
- Raspberry Pi OS lite + gnome installed with tasksel
Both browsers have similar issues. I don't have much to go with. I have tried to look into caret browser mode, but it is not accidental F7 as that does seem to ask if you want to enter the caret mode.
Gnome Web doesn't seem to have this issue, it has other issues though.

Making an Ashida Portable Gaming Rasberry Pi 4 B
I am trying to develop a Rasberry Pi handheld console. I don't want something small like the altoid tin handhelds that are commonly made. I was hoping there would be a way to change up and use the technology that many people have when they make an "Ashida Portable Wii" and instead of making the base of it be a wii motherboard, it would have the Rasberry Pi instead. I would love some help on this project and idea.

now that pivpn is eol, is this the best way to run wireguard now?
is it the best way to run wireguard now to run it in a docker container?
i was looking at a guide on how to do this, and they use a container called "WG-Easy" to "improve the experience further". is that something known/trusted?

Help python /rasberry
Hello everyone,
I need help installing the Python packages webdriver-manager and pyautogui on my Raspberry Pi. I tried using the pip install webdriver-manager and pip install pyautogui commands, but I received the following error :
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.
For more information visit http://rptl.io/venv
note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.
---------------------------
I also tried using sudo apt-get install python3-webdriver-manager and sudo apt-get install python3-pyautogui, but the packages could not be found.
My goal is to use the ChromeDriverManager modules from webdriver-manager and pyautogui in my Python code, but I'm stuck because of this installation issue.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for solving this problem, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks in advance !

How to add Picamera2 module in a venv and use it with Opencv in a Pi5
I have a raspberry Pi5 which I have struggled a fair bith with. The system python is 3.11.2 but I want to use 3.9.13 for some basic tf, opencv projects. Simple CNN stuff
The issue is managing Picamera2 module in a venv
Yesterday I pip installed it in my venv by following this tutorial:
https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=361758#:~:text=This%20will%20create%20a%20virtual,existing%20ones%20with%20different%20versions.
however there were other issues like PyQt5 not being detected. I tried to build the modules manually with the help of GPT and Gemini. I ended up copying the file from the global python as I couldn't manually build it successfully
Now i am able to open the picamera stream using this code:
from picamera2 import Picamera2, Preview
import time
picam2 = Picamera2()
picam2.start_preview(Preview.QT) # Use Preview.QT instead of Preview.QTGL
preview_config = picam2.create_preview_configuration()
picam2.configure(preview_config)
picam2.start()
time.sleep(5)
Preview.Qt is the only way i can open it. I would like to access the data with opencv and would like to see what I can do. Unfortunately Opencv for some reason wont work with Picamera2
Any help would be appreiciated. Even if I have to start from scratch with a new venv I wouldnt mind as long as the method works

Flash Raspberry Pi OS onto NVMe SSD from a Micro SD card
I am looking for a way to format/flash my SSD for my rpi 5. I don't have a usb/ssd cord to plug into my computer, and I am hoping to be able to do something like run raspberry pi imager as a cli tool and format the ssd while it's plugged into my rpi 5.
Has anyone done this? What did you use/how did you go about it? I don't have any micro hdmi's either, so I am looking for a headless way to do this.

Which Raspberry Pi do I need to use?
Hello,
I am new to Raspberry and I would like to start working with it.
Basically I want to start learning how to use and program it (I already know how to do the electric stuff so I only need to learn the usage and programming of a Raspberry Pi).
After learning the basics I want to build a small device, which searches for traffic signs outside my car and displays them onto a small display. So I need a Raspberry Pi that is able to run the camera module and a small rgb display.
It would be great if a Raspberry Pi like the Nano or the Zero could do that, sadly I dont really know which Raspberry is made for which purpose. It would be great if someone here could help me so I know which Raspberry I need to buy?
PS: I want to program the software in Python if that would be possible.
Greetings Leander :)
