There is supposed to be a cron process running all the time; it is the one that forks off children at the scheduled times. Those log messages are not errors as such. The first says that a scheduled job was run. The second says that no email was sent because there is no installed Mail Transport Agent...

I don't drive more than one row at a time as how would I know when the column is detected which row it is especially if 2 buttons from the same column are pressed? Indeed. But when the keypad rows are shared with your LCD data lines, then you may briefly be driving them simultaneously in opposite d...

jojopi

Make sure you have current limiting resistors of at least 1K on the connections to the keypad. That is good practice anyway, but it becomes essential if you need to drive two or more rows or columns simultaneously.

Are you sure you have a space between vncserver and :1? What happens if you omit the :1 completely? The error message shows that "vncserver :1" is being treated as one word instead of two. It seems that the wiki page may have a non-breaking space. When I paste that into a shell or editor it gets con...

But now when I try sudo shutdown now it gives me a message sulogin: root account is locked, starting shell Did you configure vnc to start at boot, or edit /etc/inittab for any other reason? I think that message is the one you would get if you had accidentally deleted or changed the "l6" line, which...

Are you sure you have a space between vncserver and :1? What happens if you omit the :1 completely? (The script should pick a display number and tell you what it is.)

Unless you explicitly disable ssh, it should be started again on subsequent boots.

Did you run the expand_rootfs function in raspi-config? If so, it is normal for the next boot to take several minutes resizing the filesystem, which may not be obvious without a display attached.

Use of uninitialized value $_[0] in join or string at /usr/share/perl/5.10/File/Spec/Unix.pm line 41. Use of uninitialized value $path in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/perl/5.10/File/Spec/Unix.pm line 121. These errors go away if you "sudo swapon /dev/mmcblk0p3" before the cpan.

Yes! Add the following to the end of the first line of /boot/cmdline.txt:

Code: Select all

find /etc -mtime 1 -type f will show all the files in /etc which have changed in the last 2 days. Actually, that is the files modified between 24 and 48 hours ago. Since 48 hours ago would be "-mtime -2". (Or if you really wanted to exclude the future, "-mtime -2 -mtime +-1".) I recommend keeping a...

There are other ways of starting X so it won't stop a knowledgeable user. joan@sun:~$ sudo chmod og-x /usr/bin/startx Indeed, this is trivially defeated: "cp /usr/bin/startx . && chmod +x ./startx && ./startx". In general it makes no sense to remove permission on commands, or even to uninstall them...

Example: rpi_pisces_r3.zip is 447.7MB yet expands to 4Gb when dd'ed out to a card, without a reboot. I'd assume that an xz version would be a fair deal smaller - see Puppi for an example of what can be achieved. How does "df /" in your image compare to images that compress better? Most likely you a...

I understand that the RPi doesn't like transflash cards inside sd adapters, but would it be fundamentally possibly to just rewire the slot to a transflash slot? I think that is a myth. All my microSD cards/adapters work on recent firmware. Anyway, if a given card was not compatible in a standard ad...

I notice that you're passing a "long long" constant as the first argument of sendTelegram(), even though sendTelegram declares it "unsigned long data": That is totally fine. There is a valid prototype in scope, so the compiler casts. And the constant LL fits fine in an unsigned long. I believe the ...

A 'standard' 4Gb image should be able to be compressed down to the same size, given the compression of the unused space, as per other 'official' images. How much difference are you seeing? If I understand you correctly then I agree that filling the unused space with zeros should be almost as good f...

change the permissions recursively sudo chmod -R 666 mountpoint that should take care of permission denied errors. 'man chmod' for a crash course on unix permissions. Actually, that ensures that noone but root will have even read access to the filesystem. Directories need to have execute (search) p...

Why is it so important that the date is set before setting a password, it doesn't really matter if the date is set to 1970 or even the year 0 for that matter, you can always set it later, it shouldn't prevent a normal login. It is a bug. shadow-utils stores the time of the last password change as t...

I was able to install and boot up Raspberry pi but when I got to the blue GUI log in screen it would not accept my password (I tried it multiple times with different permutations). It accepts the username so how to do I change the password when I don't yet have access to the command line. Is there ...

Unbeleivable People download half a Gb for what, do a lot of work to get it to work and end up stuck in the login screen. Such a thing should never be overlooked and that's the problem with Linux, too much crap for beginners. These builds are superseded every evening. They are clearly not intended ...

If all is done and before it starts into the UI it will gain ask you for your password and the set a new password for that user, why this is is beyond my understanding since you just set a new password a few minutes ago, really stupid if you ask Me and the first time I did it I got really confused....

The host keys in /etc exist completely independently from the user keys in ~/. The host keys are used by the sshd server to authenticate the host when remote users make an inbound connection. The user keys are used by the ssh client to authenticate the user to remote servers when connecting outbound...

Wouldn't it be better for something in the boot process to set the clock to the most recent shutdown time, rather than (I assume) wait for NTP to get the actual current time? At least it would probably have the year correct. And the system logs would be less confusing. The wheezy spindle beta image...

The shell sets up redirections before starting the command, so sudo does not help here. You want:

Code: Select all

xzcat f17arm-latest-arm-rpi-xfce-mmcblk0.img.xz |sudo dd bs=1M of=/dev/sdb

Any evidence of corruption on EXT4 partition? As I read it, mogul's corruption is entirely on the ext4 partition. This is what you would expect, since it is much larger and the only filesystem being written in the tests described. To test for bad ram, I would recommend booting wheezy with a 224/32 ...
