There are a few different Linux tools that can map network usage, but as you have discovered most are based upon monitor a specific interface rather than down to the application level. I haven't tried all these with the Raspberry Pi, but have installed them on a regular Linux computer. Two useful to...

I have created a robot vehicle based on the Magician Robot Chassis I am writing up the details at the moment. It's going to be a detailed guide so may take a while before the write-up is complete, but for now you can see an overview including parts-list at: http://www.penguintutor.com/electronics/ru...

Just 8 Rasberry Pis at the moment as I gave one of mine away as a present (already setup with Raspbmc). Most of them have a specific use Proxy XBMC x2 Kids programming platform x2 (though only one child is really old enough to be using it at the moment - hoping to start with the younger one soon) Ro...

Ftp is on port 21 which is the default port. You should just need to put in the IP address of the Raspberry Pi into filezilla and it should connect. If it has anything else in the port field change it to 21. You probably want to choose PASV mode as well. There are some FAQs on the Raspbmc website he...

It sounds like a problem with your network connection. If it fails to download through a browser then its even more likely to fail with apt as it stops on a failure rather than retrying. It sounds like you may need to use a different network or download the files outside of apt and install using apt...

It seams odd that it received two packets, but then the rest are errors. There are a lot of dropped packets, but they could be IPV6 or some other protocol - so you can probably ignore that part, but the errors are a concern. Have you checked that you don't have a duplicate IP address on the same net...

The SD card association disk formatter is usually required to reformat an SD card when it has been split into multiple partitions (after installing an image directly, or in the case of NOOBs after you have selected an operating system to install from the boot screen). It is not normally required for...

I agree with DeeJay that an Ethernet connection normally works fine without any configuration required. I've only once had the Ethernet connection not work which was due to a power problem - something I spent ages working on before swapping power supply and it started working. In addition to the com...

I don't believe you can do that using apt-get, but you can if you download an install manually - eg. using dpkg to install. For example you may prefer to install the executable into /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin To install a package at a different directory then you need to provide the option o...

Sounds like it may be due to the network dropping the connection at some point. The chromium package is a large file so it could be that it is failing on downloading that whereas it is working better on smaller files. You can try to connect to the sources manually through a browser. To view the loca...

How did you reformat the SD Card?

The recommended way to reformat the card (if using Windows / OS X) is the SD card association reformatting tool.

Can you connect to the Internet at all using the Pi? The wireless configuration tool is fairly basic, whilst it's probably easiest to configure wireless using that you may want to use ifconfig to check whether it's been allocated a valid IP address and to see if there is data being transmitted / rec...

The NOIR camera is not a true Infrared camera it's just a standard camera without the infrared filter (sees some of the infrared end of the spectrum just outside of the normal visible range). If you just want to detect when someone enters a room then a standard PIR sensor could be used eg. http://ww...

Have you tried a different SD card? You can sometimes (very rarely in my experience) end up with corrupted data when a Pi is powered down without a clean shutdown, although it sounds like you still had a clean shutdown even though XBMC wasn't responding. Reimaging the SD card should however been eno...

First thing I would try is a different power supply. I know you said it was working before, but many problems are related to insufficient power and the supply may have only just been sufficient when you tried it before. Ideally you need a power supply that can provide 1A, although 700mA should be su...

As regards Raspbmc - Connecting via FTP, simply to send Music from my Main PC to my Pi-HD. Yes - I use this method to transfer files - Hotplugging (for the HD) Yes - there is a "safe remove" option in the filemanager to ensure that the drive is removed safely. - Sleepmode (optional) No - not support...

It's still not clear what you are asking .... "Problem with the power" I understand, but you say "no amperage" - whereas your earlier question made it sound like you had too much voltage drop and so didn't have sufficient voltage on the Raspberry Pi. Not sure what you mean by "Polyfuse run out", it'...

If an XBMC distribution has all the features you want then it's probably easier to use that rather than try and get xbmc running on Raspbian. Both Raspbmc and Openelec are good.

You don't explain why you need such a small kernel. It can sometimes help on the forum if you state the reason you want it, so the answer can relate to what you are trying to achieve. Here's a response on using the least amount of space on the SD card - perhaps you have some other thing you are tryi...

- When I use Raspbmc on my Pi, will I be able to connect my Pi to my network via WLAN, like I would be able with a normal Linux System? The intention behind this idea is, that I want to drag and drop music from my main PC onto the external Harddrive which is plugged into my Pi. Yes, as long as you ...

This is similar in concept to a project I'm working on, but your idea is a bit more ambitious than mine (at least in terms of the number of lights). My project is using a combination of Arduino and Raspberry Pi - which allows it to run a simple Arduino only mode as well as full computer control runn...

If the USB drive is always connected then I'd go with the fstab route. This is what I use on my media centre. The downside of that is that if it is not available then the computer will hang when trying to mount it, but if all your data is on the USB then it's probably not usable without the usb driv...

How does my RPi, running on a 5v input, power another 5v piece of hardware such as the Uno while still running itself? The supply in to the Pi is connected to the supply for the USB sockets. There is a poly fuse which should have minimal voltage drop as long as working within the designed limits. I...
