Working on the raspi as hotspot leads to using the web browser directly on the raspi. This leads to performance issues.

Instead of investing in better single board stuff I like to install eGeoffrey on my laptop running Linux Mint.

Installation is done but when starting eGeoffrey I get the error message:

The performance issue of the raspi was related to allocation of to little memory to the GPU.

For the time being I am trying to bring the hotspot alive on the raspi.

The error message is saying port 1883 is already in use so cannot start, maybe you are already running something else on that port?

Yes that is the reason.
First I will explore the raspi track. If that succeeds it is fine with me. Otherwise I have to revert to the laptop.

What I am aiming for is a as minimalistic set-up as possible. On a Raspi eGeoffrey with a hotspot. The sensor/actuator modules on ESP8266 in a Esp8266MQTT mesh network.

It should be possible to get it working.

Until now at some point in time it is not possible to get access with a browser via the hotspot after logging in into the hotspot.
This issue I have to explore to find out what causes this.

If it turns that there is no other way than accessing eGeoffrey via a browser on the machine running the hotspot and eGeoffrey then I will switch to the laptop track.
