Whats the secret to get wifi working on the Pi3. I have upgraded and installed to latest versions. Wifi is on wlan0 but I am unable to scan for networks. How do I setup the wifi? Blowing my own trumpet, but theses might help, although I find it strange that you don't have an wpa_supplicant.conf fil...

Evening rpdom, I left my dist-upgrade running all morning and most of the afternoon yesterday. It stuck on the wolfram-engine package and it was making several hundred "get" requests to archive.raspberrypi.org. From time to time a message appeared telling my that the down load speed was 1.6 bytes pe...

Just dist-upgrading my Pi B2 and Wolfram-Engine is killing it. I've got 160 Mb/s (Megabits!) on Virgin Media - at least that's what the broadband speed tester tells me, but I'm seeing a message on screen from time to time that's telling me that this update is getting download speeds of 1.6 bytes per...

Evening mfa298, If you've got a number of devices to put configuration onto then it might be worth looking at the various configuration management tools out there (chef/ puppet/ ansible/ salt etc.). which will let you push configuration out to various devices. Yup, I would agree with the chef/puppet...

Evening, I was expecting this post a bit sooner. Many would argue that a purely static IP is obsolete and in some cases disruptive to the network. I am not sure I agree, but it's a convenient excuse. >.> The main problem is that there is no clear line to draw and supporting edge cases leads to havin...

With the new raspberrypi-net-mods, if /boot/wpa_supplicant.conf exists, it will be moved over /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. This is done through /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/01-wpa-config-copy. It may take a short while for the load balancers to sync this update. I just used this feature whe...

If your pi has a static IP on a particular lan, then connecting to another lan will work provided that your static IP is not conflicting it any device on the new lan, and your netmask matches the new one too. I suspect he default gateway should also match. If your IP is 192.168.1.50 with a netmask o...

Evening All,

Is this just to stop the WiFi from going in to power save mode and losing the connection after while by any chance? Just wondering.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Norm.

Unfortunately I can not cover the whole apartment with WIFI Router .
It would be possible to use the Raspberry as a repeater WIFI without an additional LAN connection?

Thank you

Evening. It sounds like you are getting an IP address from your router now. The "manual" option requires editing /etc/dhcpcd.conf to assign a static IP, default route and nameserver which will get copied out to /etc/resolv.conf etc as required. Still, you only need a static IP if you need to connect...

Greetings, Funnily enough, I too had the problem of a seemingly random IP address being assigned to my WiFi only yesterday! I have two dongles, one official Raspberry Pi one, white, and a cheap and nasty one from Amazon or Ebay - I can't remember - which has a RaLink chipset. Details as follows with...

OK, good luck! I don't have my pi set up headless o I can't comment on whether or not that is Wat is causing the problem. For what it's worth, I added French to my pi and that has an AZERTY rather than QWERTY keyboard layout. When I changed to zfrench, typing was "interesting" in Terminal. But that ...

NormanDunbar

Greetings. Hopefully you have managed to get online with your Pi. However, I've been playing around with a new Pi and found that I managed to mess up myself - even following my own instructions. It turned out that in the various config files, I have spaces before and after a couple of '=' signs, thi...

I forgot to mention that if you right-click the flag icon on the task bar, you can add more keyboards as desired: * Right click the flag & select Keyboard Layout handler Settings. * Uncheck Keep System Layouts * Click Add button. * Scroll down the list until you see the one you want, select it and c...

Hi selianpi, this might work for you....but only if you are using Raspbian and have the GUI in use. I assume that when you are using the Terminal, you are using it from the GUI and not at the command line. So, having got that out of the way... * Right-click on a blank part of the task bar - mine's a...

Good luck!

Evening, Hmm, strange that it doesn't work for you. Did you put /etc/network/interfaces back to a default set of settings? I assume so. Do you see anything in /var/log/messages or when using dmesg|tail -50 when you plug in the dongle and when you try to connect? Do you have a non pi computer to test...

Evening, I found other posts which indicate that when they changed OS's from Wheezy to Jessie that they had connection issues, which leads me to believe its a flaw in the raspbian-jessie OS. Possibly not. Jessie changed the way networking worked and was configured over how it was done with Wheezy. I...

... you need to add the dns details to /etc/interfaces as follows: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 dns-nameservers 8.8.4.4 When I said that I should have said that it should go beneath the "iface..." line in your interfaces file. Also, it should possibly be indented by one TAB character, according to the P...

Editing resolv.conf is ok, as long as the "resolveconf" package is not installed. As that will overwrite your carefully edited /etc/resolv.conf file. To find out, this might help: dpkg -l | grep resolvconf If that utility is present, you need to add the dns details to /etc/interfaces as follows: dns...

Evening,

Low voltage is shown by a small rainbow icon in the top right corner of the display. At least, mine does that with a particular power lead bought for £1 at Poundland!

Not sure about your main problem though, sorry, I don't use OpenElec. Good luck.

Cheers,
Norm.

Please excuse the self-plug, but .... if you can't be bothered remembering all those amixer commands etc, then may I respectfully recommend PiSound at https://github.com/NormanDunbar/PiSound which lets you do stuff like: sound headphones or sound hdmi and other useful things like setting the volume:...

Oh really? Because am interested in SED, AWK and PERL :cry: :twisted: Sed and awk are good, I use them almost daily. Perl just does my head in! I consider it to be write once, read never! Too many hieroglyphis for my liking. I never got to grips with Lisp either - all those brackets! Good luck with...

I taught myself BASIC from the pages on PCW magazine, now long gone, but I had no computer. Then I bought a ZX-81 and had to modify slightly what I had learned. My first program, and the reason for the computer was to catalogue my record collection. I hadn't realised that 1KB RAM was not going to he...
