You can make one off payments with paypal and a credit card, no need to link a bank account.

Rather than open up my brand new USB Hub, I cut the red wire in a USB extension lead that I had spare.

.... if I wanted to change the config back to use the ext partition on the SD card, where would I find the cmdline.txt on the card? I know, I know, probably a simple question. It has been... *cough cough* years since I used Linux or Unix at all. ;-) cmdline.txt is always in the /boot partition. It ...

A question to all that read this post: is an opening for the GPIO cable a desired feature? Please reply (here or by pm) also if no. I'd like to know if it is something I should include as a standard or not It all depends on what your target market is. So as not to exclude those who want to use the ...

Here is how I did it. Boot from my SD card (Debian), with USB Drive connected. Start up X windows as root (sudo startx) Run gparted, and create partition on USB drive (use ext4 format, I will assume it is called /dev/sda1) (you may need to install gparted (apt-get install gparted) mount the USB driv...

Try putting sudo before chmod.

sudo wget http://goo.gl/1BOfJ -O /usr/bin/rpi-update && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/rpi-update

Not everyone has a PC at home.

Or for that matter are able to afford one, with the current economic climate.

I like it.

Looks like something out of a 1950's SciFi movie.

Easiest way is to put it into a digital camera and format it.

If you are getting no blinks from the green OK LED, then it sounds more like a problem reading the SD card. Or it could be power related. Either way there are loads of threads in the forum covering your symptoms. Most of which have pointed to one of these.

Hope you get it sorted, good luck.

Here's what I am using. I have not setup Fedora to use it yet as they don't share a common kernel, also Fed 14 doesn't work too great for me, so I'm waiting for Fed 17. Simple to use. Create a file called switch.sh on your /root fs. Copy the code into it. chmod +x /boot/switch.sh Create a sub direct...

My order status stayed at 'Processing' until the following day. I suspect their online status information is updated overnight.

Correct, but a POE splitter would allow you to power the Pi from a POE switch, as it takes the power presented by POE and delivers it separately.

I can also confirm that it compiles and runs quite well (with sound) on the RPi.

mxcum167

You need a POE splitter. http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&pq=poe+injector&cp=6&gs_id=t&xhr=t&q=poe+splitter&client=firefox-a&hs=QI9&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1235&bih=621&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=9642058939683318492&sa=X&ei=0u_UT47aKcW28QP9...

Like all the rest of us, you go to Carousel and hope to Renew.

I like the idea of this method of securing the RPi. You can also get threaded spacers. http://www.maplin.co.uk/hexagonal-threaded-spacer-29864
These will be useful for those who intend getting or have got multiple RPi's, as you could stack them

mxcum167

No this is definitely not correct. If you can connect to the internet using a wired ethernet connection then you can with wireless. The trick is getting Wireless to work. Have a search on here there are plenty of topics covering doing just that.

mxcum167

Fantastic !!!!! I couldn't agree more, this IS what it is all about.

mxcum167

I would assume the goal is to get it all on one SD card - (since we don't have a "boot manager" capability) this implies that the "switch distros" method is of the "change some files on the SD card, then reboot" variety. So, it doesn't seem like there should be any problem having just one boot SD c...
