2 Raspberry Pi's both not showing in networks (Samba)

As per title I'm flummoxed after finding that Windows 7 (in this case) which used to pick up the Pi's no longer does. I have RPI2 and RPI3.

Re: Can't get pi3 bluetooth working

Did you find the solution yet? I'm experiencing he same problem I did get it working by starting again with a fresh Jessie install (before I had an image of my Pi2's setup and went from there). I didn't install any of the other stuff - blueman etc or anything else and ran a few tests and managed to...

Re: Can't get pi3 bluetooth working

ok - can you tell me when pairing with bluetoothctl how do I accept the request. I couldn't see how to do that as nothing seemed to come up. I had to go to the gui to see the pairing request prompt and confirm / accept the request. info <btaddr> gives me: Name: Galaxy Note4 Alias: Galaxy Note4 Class...

Re: Can't get pi3 bluetooth working

I think I still have problems as I followed your very helpful guide: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=963751#p963751 The guide suggests that blueman is already setup to send files to the phone when paired but this has always failed. I tried it the other way around and ... a quick a...

Re: Rtorrent - won't write to NAS

Ok I think I sussed it finally. It was a permissions issue. I got a clue when I dropped down the upload torrents from file and saw that the Downloads folder wasn't shown when it was mounted. The problem seems to be that using sudo mount.cifs was the problem. I keep my credential file in /ect/nas-cre...

Re: Rtorrent - won't write to NAS

Digging around in the code to see what causes a 'Queued' status I found this:

Code: Select all

elif (state & dStatus['hashing']):
    status = "Queued"
I can't say I'm particularly enlightened. :?
