Installed my BT dongle and paired with keyboard via GUI as couldn't get the final connection to work via bluez on the command line. Paired fine and worked for a while so returned to the command line after exiting the GUI. Worked for a while but the keyboard went into power save mode and lost connect...
Hi, Only tried to access the motion stream from a remote connection. Simon Same issue for me so used VNC on my laptop instead and it works fine. Simon Hi Simon, can you kindly elaborate how you did? Are you saying motion works for you locally but not remotely so you used remote desktop instead? Howe...
Hi, Want to check the status of the GPIO pins and was planning to use the 'Export' and 'Unexport' files in /sys/class/gpio but nano doesn't have permission. Event tried with sudo nano and still no joy. Anyone know how I can read these files or another way to confirm the status of the GPIO pins? Chee...
Had similar yesterday - it didn't work from my windows laptop using Chrome or IE, Android tablet using Chrome but it did sort of work from my iPhone. All were on the same wireless network. Did have to keep refreshing iPhone to show the new image though. Didn't change to port 80 as looked like a brow...
Thanks Dan, I used uvcdynctrl and it didn't mjpg format. From searching it looks like this camera doesn't support it. Is there another app that can do the same as mjpg streamer using the raw output and stream it? Or a way to add mjpg compression to the images from the camera and then use mjpg stream...
From what I recall, but could be because it was within the timeout limit. Sounds about right though. Simon Are you sure it only asks for the password once? The reason I ask is that I have used linux for years and what has always happened is that sudo asks for your password first time and then allows...
Added a new user and included adding them to the sudo group. When I am logged in as this user and run a sudo command it asks for the password first time and then runs the following sudo commands without a password. Never had this for the default 'Pi' user. Why has this now come up - do I need to add...
Done the backup but when I look at my SD card in Windows Explorer it only seems to show the system files using only around 15MB and cannot see the user folders and .py files I have created. Is this just Windows only showing 1 partition on the card? Will the backup image via Win32DiskImager have copi...
I use a BT Home Hub and there is a setting to assign the same IP each time to a specific device - if i do this will I still need to set a static IP address in the Pi?
Thanks - that explains it! Assume then at startx wouldn't work in VNC either? Simon startx only applies to the Pi via the TV / HDMI port, since you're using an X-Windows emulator from a remote machine you need lxsession or simply run your X11 app by name. The appended & symbol makes any command run ...
No expert but when I first powered up my Pi connect via HDMI I didn't get a picture but the LED's were blinking. Powered off and when I tried again it then worked. Mine was in a case so tried it out of the case as the lead may not have engaged properly, but now fine back in the case. I would make al...
