Re: Pi3, serial console over bluetooth?

I finally found an answer to the job control problem... Here's the solution... Add "setsid" to your /etc/systemd/system/rfcomm.service file as follows: [Unit] Description=RFCOMM service After=bluetooth.service Requires=bluetooth.service [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/rfcomm watch hci0 3 setsid /sbin/a...

Re: Pi3, serial console over bluetooth?

After login I get an annoying message coming from my login shell: -bash: cannot set terminal process group (1245): Inappropriate ioctl for device -bash: no job control in this shell (1245 is the /usr/bin/rfcomm process) After a few man pages and googling a bit I didn't figure out how to fix it. But...

Re: Raspbian Stretch: Wifi not starting on boot

I think I may have tracked down part of this problem. It seems that on the stock image, the directory /var/run/wpa_supplicant does not exist. It is not automatically created. The wpa supplicant apparently balks at this and aborts on boot, but may succeed when run manually or with other variants (e.g...

Why disable IPv6 by default

Unless there is a very good reason for it, I would like to suggest that the maintainers change ipv6.conf in modprobe.d so that IPv6 is, by default, enabled. At this point, there is no good reason to disable it and many good reasons to enable it to the best of my knowledge. If there are good reasons ...

Re: Request - 'Mounting hole' location relative to pin 1 of

The 2.9mm mounting holes on the Ras Pi do, in fact, provide a close fit for a #4-40 screw. I imagine those are, as stated earlier in this thread, not so easy to come by in EU. The good news is that the holes are not intended to be close-fit for #4-40 that's just a happy coincidence for americans. Th...

C Macro to detect R-PI?

I realize this is probably a relatively dumb question, but I'm wondering if there is a pre-defined macro I can use to detect that my code is being compiled on an r-PI (or for an r-PI). For example, I'd like to be able to do something like: #ifdef __Raspberry_PI__ ...R-PI specific Code for doing some...

Re: Request: Bootloader

I would actually like to be able to choose from more than one available kernel at boot time just for the ability to have a safe (known working) and test (recently compiled) kernel and not have to run back to something with an SD reader to sort things out if the test kernel doesn't boot successfully.
