Display IP address on startup
Hi all, thought i'd share this as it was another thing I found that was harder than it feels it should be.
If you're like me and you log into your Pi with VNC at the office, its a bit of pain to have to locate the IP address of the Pi when your IT department refuses to give you a static IP.
I use the following:
vim ~/.config/autostart/lxterm-autostart.desktop

Exec=/usr/bin/lxterm -e 'sleep 60 ; figlet
hostname -I; sleep 600'It works for me. Obviously iv'e installed figlet for a bit of flare because without flare we are simply just animals.
