Is this what you are looking for? https://elinux.org/RPI_safe_mode#Wake_from_Halt.5B1.5D dtoverlay: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/master/boot/overlays/README /Mogens Maybe github. Maybe not eLinux. I'm not sure how I would assess the bonafides of the posters. Documentation of the Ras...

Where's the "official" documentation for this?, i.e. on the RaspberryPi.org website, properly documented , etc.? I can see all sorts of informal documentation by the 10 "million experts" out there, but nothing authentic.

NeilAlexanderHiggins

From my experience it is common to encounter someone setting up a Raspberry Pi who has never used a text editor or interacted in writing with a computer using the command line. This would-be system administrator has almost no transferable skills that were learned doing user-level tasks and faces a ...

Consider then this section on nano:
...
There is nothing in there that is actually useful to someone trying to set up NFS. It's full of personal views and conjecture, neither of which have any place in a tutorial.

Fair enough. I have removed the opinionated words. Anything else?

NeilAlexanderHiggins

Probably not much documentation because in my experience in general it just works ! The greatest fallacy ever promulgated about Linux (or anything else). Point a newbie at an A380 and it won't "just fly". Point a newbie at NFS and it won't "just work". It certainly didn't "just work" for me. And fr...

Getting NFSv4 to work between an Ubuntu 16.04 server and Raspbian clients has been harder than anticipated. I wrote a guide for readers of the MeArm Pi community (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mearm). I cannot attach documents to posts in this forum: V0-7 of the document can be found in th...

By the way, my Pi3 is doing it too. I'm accessing the desktop via XTightVNC server (Pi3) and viewer (Ubuntu on AMD64). I have no idea what's in the Other menu ('cause I can't see it) - nothing I have added manually.

NeilAlexanderHiggins

Specifically, for the rank beginners, how do you want us to go about that task?

NeilAlexanderHiggins

I know this subject is a bit passé, but I though I would report on Einstein@Home performance. E@H benchmarks each new CPU before sending work to it. It rates my Pi 3 at 748/2461 floating point/integer operations per second, compared with 441/1695 respectively for a Pi 2. The measured CPU temperature...

NeilAlexanderHiggins

Thanks. There are similar hopeful indications on the E@H board, although nobody has popped up to confirm that they have had success.

NeilAlexanderHiggins

Ah! Good to see that the fanboys are following up their old "conquests". Feeling better now?

NeilAlexanderHiggins

Does anybody (who knows what they are talking about) know if this is fixed yet?

NeilAlexanderHiggins

No matches to "certificate"

NeilAlexanderHiggins

"kweb - slim and fast" - that's paid (professional) advertising, is it?

NeilAlexanderHiggins

The problem with amateur organisations is that don't even know what bugs and limitations are inherent in their products, let alone have a plan to address them. Eben's best effort in respect of the WiFi bug (and why would you add WiFi as an alternative to wired unless you intend that people will use ...

NeilAlexanderHiggins

Hardly. This is how I found out why my Pi 3 was apparently crashing. It's amazing how quickly good will evapoates when people go on wild goose chases after problems that turn out to be in the product, not in their use of it. The Foundation should (a) enumerate the known major problems and the time f...

NeilAlexanderHiggins

Yeah, ok. Quoting from "makezine": "We also ran into one problem with the onboard Wi-Fi that only occurred whilst running the new board in headless mode. This ended up being caused by a power-saving mode on the connectivity chip. Effectively the board became unresponsive in headless mode if it was c...

[MOD EDIT - WARNING ISSUED]

NeilAlexanderHiggins

It's not my problem, that's for sure. All of the WiFi problems, well documented on this and other sites, and now this. I'm on the verge of chucking my Pi 3 and going elsewhere.

NeilAlexanderHiggins

Foundation: Are you listening? The Debian custodian should be taken aside for a serious chat.

NeilAlexanderHiggins

Jessie's certificate handling is broken. If a root cert. is withdrawn, Jessie fails instead of checking alternative root certs. This can be worked around by people with expertise, but for muggles like me, it means, e.g. that I can't enlist my new Pi 3 at Einstein@Home. Please fix.

NeilAlexanderHiggins

Thanks for your suggestions, everyone. I appreciate your assistance. I re-blew the SD card for the Pi, and put a network definition for my local E2000 WiFI access point into the wpa-supplicant file - basically going back to scratch and starting again. Now I am getting a 192.168.1.x address from the ...

NeilAlexanderHiggins

Yes it is! It can give itself an address? Even when there is no wpa_supplicant.conf? You're kidding! Where is it getting the SSID and password from??

NeilAlexanderHiggins

One more bit of wierdness: When the Pi connects, ifconfig shows the same hardware address for the WiFi as for the wired Ethernet.

Actually two more: It is somehow convincing the router to give it an address outside the 192.168.1.x range that it's supposed to get.

NeilAlexanderHiggins

Hee. No need to call in the North Koreans to lay waste to our cyber-infrastructure - just install a few PI 3's. Good grief. Talk about spaghetti dressed up as foie gras.
