Is there a supplier in the US for the adapter listed or equivalent? Also did this need a external power source?

ViolentMonk

Would it be easy enough to disable the onboard WiFi and use a different adapter for a raspberry 3b? Was wanting to use a adapter with 5ghz. If someone knows a adapter that will work without a ton of configuration that would be a plus. Also would a adapter need external power? Thank you for the info!...

ViolentMonk

woo thanks! lots of info. looks like I'm just going to have two old rasps as copies of each-other. this question is just for reference but would putting a gbe adapter on an older rasp help or would that be just useless?

ViolentMonk

I was thinking about getting a raspberry 2 to replace my older one as a nas. Does more ram and a quad core help its ability to share files over smb? or I could just get a second old rasp1 and make another nas.

hmm

my analog audio has always been bad and I was wondering it would improve even a little if I used this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-PCM2704-USB-Sound-Card-DAC-Decoder-Board-/181167538172?pt=US_Home_Audio_Amplifiers_Preamps&hash=item2a2e6d3ffc I'm using openelec right now and if I put the sound to...

k I'll try that out next time I can find the time to play with it. thanks! sorry it took me a while to respond.

ViolentMonk

first thing I suggest try and reformat your drive as ext4 instead of icky ntfs. using ext4 as your smb share will speed it up and probably fix your problem. ntfs is a lame format that wasnt really supported. also it takes more cpu power to use ntfs on a raspberry because of this or something like th...

I have two externally powered harddrives connected to my rasp B and both of the drives are accessible through smb and mount fine during boot up. just one of the hdd just sleeps after a little while and wont wake up on its own. is there a command that I can use so I can wake it up or a setting I can ...

ViolentMonk

the raspberry runs headless with a split where most of the ram goes to the cpu. also the access point wont be used the same time as the smb share. when in use only a cell phone/tablet would use the access point and a single raspberry would be using the rasp smb share. oh and the smb rasp is only run...

ViolentMonk

anyone? does it have enough ram to act as a smb file host and a access point or do I need to get a second raspberry?

ViolentMonk

I'm using my rasp version b as a smb share but I got a RTL8188CUS chipset wifi dongle.. so I was wondering if it would really hurt to set it up as a access point as well?

ViolentMonk

welp I haven't figured out what causes this but I switched my pi back to openelec and it seems the sound for some reason works better on it. no weird high pitch electronic explosion sounds when starting a video and the volume level actually goes up when you bring the dba up in the audio settings so ...

how do I do that?

ViolentMonk

do you need to have a wifi adapter that has an external antenna? or would one of those mini wireless N with no antenna be okay?

ViolentMonk

um so its okay if I unplug the hdmi cable while the pi is running?

ViolentMonk

what is your /etc/exports supposed to look like? /etc/exports
/home 195.12.32.2(rw,no_root_squash) home(ro)
/usr 195.12.32.2/24(rw,insecure)
it keeps saying the files and directories don't exist. how am I actually suppose to set up the exports? also a lot of that page doesn't work.

ViolentMonk

hello I have my pi using smb to share files but can I just try installing nfs without having smb messed with or do I have to turn it off or remove it?

ViolentMonk

I am using an hdmi to dvi adapter with the analog sound cable 3.5mm to red and white rca. when I started the pi up without the hub it seemed to work normally for a little then it restarted on its own (only once so far though) also it still has the noise. is there a way to fix it? its not the 3.5mm t...

ViolentMonk

all I have plugged in is the powered usb hub with the power wire cut in the usb cable end, the usb thumbdrive plugged into that and the sd card needed to boot. the noise doesn't subside by touching anything and nothing is loosely connected or dusty also I changed the power supply to a different one ...

ViolentMonk

Right now I'm using Raspbmc on a model B. I have been putting this down to the bad analog sound but I'm not sure. I get this weird low pitch rumble noise (loud enough to give you a headache over time) in the background while playing back some videos also the noise stops after stopping the video but ...

ViolentMonk

when I try to ssh the key from one to the other is says there is no such file or directory.

EDIT: I put in sudo scp /home/pi/keypair3.pub pi@192.168.0.188:keys(.170 for the second)
it looks like I got one to cooperate and accept the keypair thing but the other says access is denied. :,(

read this thread http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=28176&p=250033&hilit=smb+file+permissions#p250033 it much helped me fix my smb permissions. also its not a good idea to run a smb share off a sd card it will wear it out a lot quicker. its better if you have a powere...

ViolentMonk

I create the authorized keys I just cant figure out how to "paste them" into each other's authorized keys file. :/ it keeps saying E492: Not an editor command: how do I actually add the keys?

ViolentMonk

I don't mean to be rude ghans but did you read the title of the thread or any of my other posts? I need one raspberry to be turned off from a second raspberry connected to a tv screen while the other is headless without sshing from a PC other than to install or set up software/settings.

ViolentMonk

it says you get into commandline by hitting exit on xbmc then hit ESC on your keyboard...anyone know if i have to use a keyboard? i have a rc6 remote can I use that? I really don't have an extra keyboard..also I know it doesnt "power it off". I switch off the power using a surge protector ...
