Both 'Solutions' in this thread do not work. The first solution 'create a text file link on the desktop' won't execute anything it will just open the text file with an editor. The second solution recommends editing a file in ~/Desktop that doesn;t exist. We require a right-click context menu that sa...

I would like to use pigpio.

However when trying to run any example or code snippet (using idle) I get

Can't connect to pigpio on localhost(8888)
and various other messages that make no sense to me.
etc

Are there instructions for setting up and using pigpio on the raspberry pi ?

Hi, I was born after 1970, so I often use a mouse to click on the Blue Cog icon. How do we configure SPE to execute as super user when we click on the Blue Cog icon ? Also, how do we make every command and every application automatically run with super user privileges. i.e disable this continuous an...

Is there an example of using C/C++ to talk to a socket.io server anywhere here ?.. I see various arguments and gobbledygook about java and node.js etc. I'm happy to use java if I was writing a web page. Unfortunately I need to use a proper language (C) to do everything else in my application; file i...

We need to click on things and download them Things like text documents, and python script examples. We need to be super user by default. Copy over things, move things, wreck things , whatever. If it breaks I will put a new SD card in. (Low cost SD card; invented a while back shortly after the mouse...

I conclude that your experience is worth more or less than this value, as the problem is not trivial for me to solve.

You appear to have set the permissions of /home/pi to 0777. This breaks ssh keys. There is no possible benefit, either. There are no other users in the image who you might want to write to ~pi. Mostly, this demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of the Unix permissions model. World write ...

Wohaa ! It seems that the Back-to-the-future car has appeared from 1984 and a linux admin stepped out with a text book of cc command line parameters, printed on a bunch of that dot-matrix paper with the tear-off holes on the sides. Thanks for the % cc -> etc whatever . for all the C developers, post...

Hi, You, like me, want to write a program in C on the raspberry pi. You want to download an image to an SD card, boot it up and start developing. Unfortunately you can't do that at the moment..writing a simple C application (like you can do on every computer since 1982, as well as on most embedded m...

running startx under sudo is not recommended. I believe if you were to do it it would be sudo -H startx would need to look it up under the man sudo unless things have changed. What are you needing to do as root in X. I want to run everything as Super user, I want X to be root, and to have complete ...
