OK, so I have managed to install the latest version of Raspbian-Jessie to a SD card. I put it in my Pi and have done "Sudo apt-get update", "Sudo apt-get upgrade" and "rpi-update". The next thing I want to do is introduce an external USB HDD. The device currently has no partitions set and, therefore...
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the new tab button so that it opens my default browser or even just a blank page please? I'm getting sick of having to clear my history all the time to get rid of the tabs.
That fstab file currently looks like this to me: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults 0 2 /dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 # a swapfile is not a swap partition, so no using swapon|off from here on, use $ /dev/sda1 none swap sw 0 0
Use gparted +1 Although I have been a *nix sysadmin for years, I still like to see what I'm doing when it comes to laying out disks. You really don't want to change the ownership of / from root to another user (especially when you have 500+ users on it, but that is another story...) Yes, I am happy...
Hmm, it seems that the partition now belongs to Pi but the files and folders within it still belong to root. Is the Raspberry Pi/Raspbian supposed to be a pain in the arse to use or is it just me? lol
you probably have not done what you think you have done, Thank you for the vote of confidence. I followed the instructions here: http://www.genis-x.com/raspberry-pi-running-from-usb-hard-drive I had to use nano instead of vi because vi seemed to think the file was read-only and nano seemed a lot ea...
I have just set up my 500Gb USB HD to run my OS (Raspbian) from the Hard Drive. I think I've been successful in doing this. I removed all partitions and then created a 2Gb swapfile partition, an 18Gb partition for the OS and then a third partition using the remaining space which I want to use to sto...
You refer to "duplicate posts" three times in your post. Who made any duplicate posts? The topics were different in both cases, as were the original posts. I clearly explained why I took the decision to end the first post and start another. The original thread was difficult to read for anybody with ...
I ignore the bit about the watch port and I never bothered setting up a static I.P. and everything seems to work now. Thank you to default_user8 for your help if you have managed to find this thread.
The OCD moderator can feel free to delete both threads now.
For some reason my thread seems to have gone missing. I was talking to default_user8 about setting up a bit-torrent client. I have got as far as: 5. Find watch-dir and change it into /home/pi/torrentwatch or whatever the name of the folder you have prepared before. I can find no mention of "watch-di...
That tutorial seems to require a PC, which I don't have. Like I say, this is also detracting from my original post so I think I'm going to abandon this thread and make another.
This isn't really addressing my issue of how to set my Pi up to download torrents but it sounds like a good idea regardless. My Pi seems to run extremely slowly and I had been wondering if it was because the pre-installed NOOBS card is only class 4. Like I say, I am new to Pi's/Linux/Raspbian etc th...
Your first post proposed moving some root files to a USB pen drive. Now you are saying I can run my Pi and entire OS from my external HD? Is that correct?
Thank you for your reply but I managed to re-install my OS using the recovery function. What I am looking for is a clear, step-by-step tutorial that explains how to use my standalone Raspberry Pi B+ to download torrent files.
Back again ;) Well I was up and running. The program suddenly told me that my SD card was full, then that it was corrupt and then my Pi crashed and wouldn't start up again. I reinstalled Raspbian using the recovery process and decided to try a program called aria2. I followed all the instructions an...
