I thought of that, but this is no option as I have to know whether the attached device is running or not.
I'll get used to this Linux quirk.

The prompt has returned ... It is at the start of the second line in those pictures. The problem is that the application has written some text to stdout that has been printed and has moved the cursor away from the prompt text. Has nothing to do with the application ; when I remove the trailing & it...

Maybe this makes it clearer.

Hanging cursor :


And as it should be, but only if I hit the return button :

I rephrased it to make it clearer.

When I end a command with a '&' its execution continues in the background after I logout. There's a little annoyance I would like to get rid of with this. Whenever I execute such a command, whether it from the prompt or from within a shell script, the cursor hangs alone instead of returning to the '...

Solved the problems with all the information you gave! Thanks guys.

I created my first Bash shell scripts on the Raspberry Pi and added a ' .bash_profile ' file to my home directory ' /home/cloudswitch ' containing : export PATH=$PATH:/home/cloudswitch/sh Saved it, rebooted, and looked at ' echo $PATH ' to see if the path where I put the shell scripts had been added...

What does lsmod show when the offending device is plugged in? Lists module 8192cu . Several other posters reported this too. Is probably some compatible Linux driver module. The B-Link adapter definitely contains the RTL8188CU(S) chipset, although they don't mention this on their website nor on the...

The OP you need to change the Wireless Router Wireless Mode to get full speed Your setup uses a wireless router, AP, and the wireless B-Link adapter on channel 6 @ 135 Mbps, so the channel and connection speed can be changed in this mode. I have no wireless router nor wireless AP and use/need the a...

That USB dongle is covered in excruciating detail in http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=29752 That post is only about issues with the RTL8188EU which I do not have and doesn't work OOTB - mine is the RTL8188CUS (see my 'lsusb') which works but with a restriction purposely built-...

1) +2) Obviously they default to channel 1. Changing the channel on the RPi-B is simply done in /etc/network/interfaces : wireless-channel 1 ...but if I do that - and change the channel in the connecting wireless bridge as well (where I can change the channel in Ad-Hoc mode, this device has been fai...

Recently bought a couple of Chinese B-Link BL-LW05-AR5 150 Mbps Nano wireless N USB adapters . Several forum posters claimed they worked out-of-the-box on a Raspberry Pi in Raspbian Linux , and their large external antenna was also a deciding factor for me. They do work OOTB on a RPi-B - if one uses...

Hello, I had the same problem, after searching google, a windows registry change seems to be the solution. I can't remember what I changed, but google has the answer. Regards Has nothing to do with Windows, but everything with XRDP which is a Linux program. I gave up, removed the immature unproven ...

Hi all, I'm trying to use a headless RPi - i.e. connected only to a network cable and using a desktop PC. SSH using PuTTY works fine, my non-US keyboard works as expected (probably because PuTTY runs on Windows). However, when I try to use XRDP using Remote Desktop Connection from Windows, it revert...
