I have a touchscreen setup in my car with a PI (Raspbmc). I found out how to set the monitor portion to hotplug but not the touch part. I don't leave the screen connected when I leave the car and sometimes I don't even connect it at all, I just use Airplay and don't need the monitor. So if the PI is...

That's what I needed to know...thanks!

swindmiller

Thanks. I am more concerned that the file was corrupted by the update. I don't know if any other files were corrupted as well.
Do you know if I would have to rerun rpi-update if I re-images the card?

swindmiller

I ran an rip-update and everything ran without errors but now my config.txt file looks corrupt. I have a backup image and if I image the SD card from the backup do I have to rerun rip-update? From what I thought...rpi-update is for firmware.

Thanks,
Scott

I am fairly new so started out by using the image from here http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=50543 as an Airplay server for my car. This has worked flawlessly!! I like it because my WiFi adapter works as an AP and just works for me. I want to now add a monitor in my truck and w...

Just audio as far as I know.

I copied my large image to the hard drive and just put the path to it after the script. So in your case
sudo perl resizeimage.pl /WhereverYouPutIt/large image.img and the smaller image will be in the same folder.
I ran sudo resizeimage.pl /home/swindmiller/PIimage.img

Hope that helps.

Newbie here

What if you did what was given to me here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 08#p441508. Install lighttpd (small webserver) and on the last line just use amixer command instead of my shutdown command.

This worked great!!! Brought my 32gb image down to 1.7gb

I booted it up and everything seems to work fine so far, and I did expand the filesystem after the first boot.

Thanks so much!!!

swindmiller

Thanks. I am going to try the script you already posted but if you have something better and want to share it I would be grateful

swindmiller

DeanC, I would be very interested in what you have if you are willing to share :) I am just starting with the PI and have been backing up and re-imaging using Win32DiskImager and am using a 32gb card which ofcourse gives me a very big backup. I believe I am only using like 3gb so would love to just ...

swindmiller

Thanks for all of the links...cool stuff!

swindmiller

I have lighttpd installed on my pi and was wondering how hard it would be to monitor different aspects of the PI like free space left on the SD card as an example.

Thanks,
Scott

swindmiller

make sure it is accessible from your iphone only :) How would I do that :) Secure wpa2 wifi network, for example. Not sure what your setup is like now; you can ssh from iphone to rpi, because you've setup the rpi+wifi stick as an access point? Yeah the wifi is setup as an access point and I need a ...

How would I do that

What I'd do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lighttpd php5-cgi sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi fastcgi-php sudo service lighttpd force-reload sudo visudo # Add the following line below "pi ALL etc." and exit the visudo editor: www-data ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown sudo nano /var/www/in...

I am very new to all of this so be easy on me :D I have my PI setup as an airplay server for my car and it works great. Right now I am ssh'ing into the Pi to run a sudo init 0 to shut it down before I turn my car off. What I would like is a simple way for me to click a button from my iphone (I guess...

swindmiller

I have to so say this is AWESOME!!! I just received my usb wifi card and this image worked with no additional setup. I bought this card: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003MTTJOY/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and bought a USB sound card as well after reading some of the problems people ...

swindmiller

Really sorry!!! Totally missed that was already said in the post.

swindmiller

Thanks for posing this, I found what I am going to do with my PI!!

Do we know if this image will work on the B version of the PI yet?

Thanks,
Scott
