Re: Pi screen: almost had it buuuut i broke it
If you are trying to attach this directly to the Pi using that ribbon cable dont bother. I tried on what appears to be this exact model (this is a slave to the master DVD car player with a 3.5mm jack as input from master) without luck. I had someone that knew about this kind of stuff and said that y...

Re: Carputer
Pi + GPIO + transistor + running lights + external running light power = possible
Pi + MPD + MPC + LIRC + adafruit LCD + button shield + output to stereo = possible, maybe not so reliable in a car.

Re: [HELP!] Setting up a SFTP server accessible to the Inter
SFTP = SSH/SCP a different protocol from FTP FTPS = FTP with encryption SFTP cannot be used in regular browser URLs because it is SSH/SCP. You need a client like Filezilla or WinSCP FTP can be used from URLs in a regular browser, and I think FTPS can also. If you want to use SFTP from outside your L...

Re: Can Ping and SFTP, but cannot PuTTY
This may be a little basic, but
Enable the ssh server in this config tool for ur Pi.
Also, I don't add my username where you seem to in putty. It is not the problem though. I make the host/ip field on putty this:
Code: Select all
raspi-config

Re: Any way to go to terminal if auto-login is enabled?
ednl, you are right I just checked. Apologies on a hasty response. ctrl+alt+backspace does RESTART rather than shutdown X.
Killing the Xserver then, you want to use a terminal with the service xxxx stop command. Where xxxx is your display manager.

Re: Any way to go to terminal if auto-login is enabled?
if you setup ur Pi using "raspi-config" you can set a key combo to kill Xserver when you setup your keyboard in regional settings. ctrl+alt+backspace will be suggested on keyboard change to terminate the X server, but it is optional and defaults to no if I remember right. Second option, op...

I would love to know if you find a way, but I have personally looked into this and found no way to run Midori without X server. My answer is no, but you should get a second opinion.

Re: How to programmatically check if usb stick is mounted
Make a shell script with if statements that check whether a test file is present on the mounted drive.
if [ -e /mnt/usb1/mount.test ]
or something similar would be my preference other than the python script

Multiple Power sources? (redundant)
So I have recently seen a Pi that was "backpowered" by USB through its USB port without a micro-usb. I have also powered my Pi model A with a USB to TTL serial cable, while at the same time supplying power through the micro USB power port on the pi. This is all theoretical, I do not plan o...

All of this sounds like insufficient power. It can cause every problem you list. Get a dedicated PSU for the Pi that runs at 1500mA or higher to test that.

if that doesnt work, check your sony itself on input settings, see if you can change the sound source

hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16
