Re: Startupscript xdotool not working

I honestly can not remember whether I fixed it or not.
However, looking at it a few years later, you could try specifying the whole path to xdotool (/usr/bin/ or wherever it's located).

Re: Turn on Pi via second Pi

Ahh, now I get it! Thank you very much! But what about GPIO25 (opposite side to the 4 you named) and GPIO22 (below the 40-pin connector)? I guess I'll completely remove the HAT then and connect the needed pins individually. This leaves me many pins to play with. The only issue I see here might be th...

Re: Turn on Pi via second Pi

Thanks, but I'm not sure I understand completely.
What does this mean in terms of unused pins?
I really don't get through those schematics.

Re: Turn on Pi via second Pi

Since both Pis are in a car this won't be possible.

Turn on Pi via second Pi

Hi, I have a RPi which is always on. I'd like to use this Pi to turn on a second Pi right next to it. My first thought was WOL but this doesn't seem to be possible since there is now power to the network adapter. The Pi to be woken up is powered via the 5V-pin, however USB could be an option. On tha...

Temperature sensor not working

Hi, so I already got some temperature sensors set up on a Pi. Already some time ago I tried to do it again on another Pi and failed. Today I tried again with these steps: # /boot/config.txt dtoverlay=w1-gpio,gpiopin=4,pullup=on # /etc/modules w1-gpio pullup=1 w1-therm However the sensor doesn't like...

Re: Spotify Offline Playback...has this ever been achieved?

Hi,
Right now I'm using spotify-ripper but it is not what I'd like to have.
It basically just downloads certain playlists (which also takes forever).

Hi,

bumping this since I'm very interested in it.
Also this is the only thread I found where someone actually claims to try it.

RasPi in car - GPS & GSM

Hi, today my RasPi3 arrived and I'm planning on putting it in my car. First idea was to add a GPS module so it could track its movements. Also I'd like to locate my car (e.g. "where the hell did I park again?") which would require some kind of GSM-module with a internet-enabled SIM-card. Luckily pro...

Re: Backups & Clones

I do a backup every week with this line:

Code: Select all

dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 | gzip -1 - | dd of =/media/nas/Raspi/$NOW.img.gz
For this I simply mounted my NAS (would be possible with a usual Windows PC too).

Re: Use dd to clone used content on sd card to an image?

I am not sure about that. I was using this image since february, but as far as I remember i did it on first startup when it asks if you wanted to use the whole card. I only wrote it to a 16GB card, because the image was a few bytes too big for my other vendor's 8GB-card (jeez, why?) so that was the ...

Hm, so gut kenne ich mich damit nun auch wieder nicht aus.
Bin mir allerdings zu 99% sicher, dass das ":http" dort am Ende nichts verloren hat.

Now that I read it: Exactly how I did it. A few days back I tried to write a 8GB to a 8GB SD-Card.. Well, image was a few bytes too big. Since I didn't want to encounter OPs errors I first wrote it to a bigger card, shrank it to 7GB and then used dd with count= because otherwise it would copy the em...

Re: Help? Setting up NAS?

First idea is to do "mount" and then look at the mountpoints.
I guess you'll know where Raspian is mounted, right?
Then you'll know by looking at that output.
You'll get the devicename (e.g. "mmcblk0p5") plus mountpoint (e.g. "/media/drive")

Where exactly did you put that line?
Did you do "crontab -e", "sudo crontab -e" or something different?

I'm doing something similar. For that I am using cron.d instead of crontab. This is part of my script: echo "$job" > /etc/cron.d/cron the file "cron" is the equivalent of your crontab.

Re: Enable HDMI to play video and then Disable HDMI on video

I also am looking for a solution to turn off my screen - just not HDMI.

What is happening with this script?
Does the screen turn off immediatly after starting the video or not at all?
If the latter you might need to kill the video-application before the script moves on.
