pwd print the directory you are currently in cd - go back to the last directory you were in cd ~ <- that should be a tilda - think wordpress is converting it to a -. Anyway, cd ~ takes you to your home folder clear as mud :lol: I get it now this is what was confusing me when talking about the "home...

Yes that does I haven't tried ls -a.
So can I browse to /home/pi/.xbmc and see whats there. Sorry I'm at work on a win box and can't test it.

Thanks again.

I'm trying to get a better understanding of the linux file structure and where programs are located. I ran across this for the location of a program . When I do a cd ~/.xbmc I can see folders relating to xbmc. I have been using the command prompt and the cd command to browse all the folders and even...

computerpie

Those addons are located at>>
/usr/share/xbmc/addons/metadata.themoviedb dot org for example for moviedb.

I haven't tried this but zapping that folder might delete the addon. Maybe someone else can chime in on deleting those folders and the affect of that.

computerpie

Both these work for me in Xbian.
Moviedb 3.4.1 and universal 1.5

can you right click on the add-on>> and choose addon info>>choose rollback or do you even get that dropdown menu?

I'm hoping someone who is more experienced with linux might be able to help with this or give me some pointers to get this to work better.. I have an image of raspbian on an sd card and xbian on another. I'd like to get a wii remote to work with xbian eventually. I found this how to on setting up a ...

Can't edit my last post so I'll add more in a new post. The pi makes a great media server. There are some excellent threads here about XBMC and setting up a media server. That might be more suitable for a home network and can involve all the different types of servers I mentioned in my previous resp...

What it sounds like you want to do is setup a domain with active directory for your network. For that you'll need Win server and that would have to be setup on at least an x86 system not on your pi. So if you want to do the "anyone can logon to any computer and have drives automatically mapped" goog...

bash thought that was all one word. So presumably you pasted it from somewhere, or in some way, that mistakenly used non-breaking spaces. If you remember where we may be able to fix it. . I copy pasted it from the directions here > https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update Thanks for the responses. Just...

I've been out of town the past couple of weeks and want to make sure my raspi is up to date so I can load the new mpeg-2 codecs. I've successfully ran update and upgrade. uname gives me this>> Linux raspberrypi 3.1.9+ #272 PREEMPT Tue Aug 7 22:51:44 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux Looking through the foru...

Take your measurements across TP1 and TP2. You want that to be as close to 5v as possible with everything plugged in (wifi dongle, kb, ms etc... . The closer to 5 v the better. The 2 A supply should be ok, but if it's measuring 4.79 v at TP1 and TP2 I'd say it's marginal.

computerpie

So if you are losing 60mV accross the wire and get 4.79v at the Raspi then your supply is only putting out 4.85V. That sounds low to start with. The cable resistance would be E=I*R or R=E/I or R=.06/.7 (assuming Raspi drawing 700mA ) So R= .086 Ohms. Not bad for an 80 cm cable. If you are planning o...

It's probably related to your memory split. What is yours set to? You might try different splits to see if you can get better results. You can set your resolution on vnc to low color that will speed things up as far as refesh. I haven't used vnc viewer on my raspi, but I use it on my desktops. If I ...

If you show them the board they might want to get their own and then you'd have someone to talk pi projects with.

I'm enjoying mine.

As a network Admin I can't help responding to this. :) When it comes to corp proxies there isn't a 1 size fits all answer to this question. Proxies can be done with hardware and/or software many companies use both. With a little googling you can find an answer, but since it is relatively easy to def...

I purchased a IDE/Sata hdd to USB cable set from Amazon over the weekend and it just arrived. This item> http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0018MCGVU/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2T1_ST1_3p_dp_1 It came with a 5v 2A, 12v 2A (dual output) power brick. The model # of the power brick is GX34W-5-12. It looks like a g...

Start with the basic setup. PSU, wired Kb, Wired mouse, computer monitor. No hubs, wireless dongles, usb hdd.... Keep it simple and you can add on later. Make sure your SD card and PSU are on the approved list here> http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals If your SD card isn't you should go buy on...

computerpie

Keep in mind these PSU's are really meant to be used as battery chargers for phones and tablets. A battery looks like a huge capacative load to the psu so it can have a very sloppy (ie noise and ripple)output and function (as a charger) very well. I tried a few chargers to power my raspi and found o...

Bloody Americans. :P Run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration` and follow the instructions, then restart by running `sudo reboot`. Although I'm in the US I left mine set to UK. Makes me feel like I can speak British. :D Does that mean I'm bilingual??? :lol: Great Olympics BTW. You should b...

Great info Mark thanks for posting.
I was just curious, did you notice anything differences between the two cords? One fatter, skinnier, shorter, longer ? Any visible differences?

Thanks again

computerpie

Just an FYI. Once I shutdown I leave my fan running for a few more minutes (red led still lit on Raspi) before I power down completely (I have an on/off switch). That way the fan cools the board down more evenly during that time (about 5 to 10 more minutes). You might look around more I found some 1...

Yeah, but do you normally work with SoC embedded projects?[/quote]

What does that have to do with anything? All electronic devices are made of plastic, metals, and sand. Dissimilar materials heating and cooling expand and contract different rates. Something's gonna give!!

computerpie

I keep seeing people talking about touching a chip isn't a precise way of knowing what temps its running at. That is true and I'm sure most people understand that. I've been designing embedded/electronic systems for a long time and know that a good rule of thumb is "if you can't leave your finger on...

The LAN9512 is powered from the 3V3 rail and has no connection at all to the 5V input. So I do not believe that the quality of the 5V supply can have any effect on its power dissipation.

Ok well I am seeing a definite difference. So whats changed on my board?
