~~~~~I take the view that the IC that looks after the two USB ports and the Ethernet is temperamental in several ways. Certainly voltage but also there is a difference at Bash (Ping works OK) to when LX is working. So maybe the LX interface is upset for some reason when Bash is not ? A puzzled Tim.

I live near Swansea and already film wildlife but not with an R Pi.

Very interested in your project. You are welcome to PM to me.

using Raspbian I had no sound on my HDMI output ! For some days I tried every thing ! tearing my hair out in increasing clumps ! *LOL* This finally worked:- sudo amixer cset numid=3 2 an error message has a moan but ignoring that, I now have sound ! Following from an earlier post about powering down...

It worked on the Toshiba after a couple of reboots ! and unchanged !

Massively too large ! *LOL*

So some tweaks to do !

As far as HDMI goes I'm a complete newbie, so I'm likely to get lost in the jargon easily ! I have two LCD HDMI TVs, one a 19" Toshiba and a 32" Akura. I'm using Raspbian on a 16GB Class 10 SD card. The Akura does the video but ignores the sound. The Toshiba says "HDMI not available" but after twea...

Many thanks both !

I'll try the Bash approach first !

Tim

Update:- it worked !

timmoore46

I log in to Raspbian and 'startx'

wake up leafpad and load /boot/config.txt

change it and.....

it won't save cos I've not got the permissions.

How to I get to be the SU / admin/ Sudo here?

feeling credibly dumb here !

An embarrassed,

My attitude (I work in primary schools so I want it to be cheap as chips :) ) is that 1. Gertboard is great - does everything - costs $5 :) 2. Same as above but slightly more expensive :) 3. Same as above but too expensive - then we'll just go down the XXXduino route and produce cheap clones. :) I ...

11052012 and 2114623 with Farnell do not offer anything to buy.

Is there a working link so I can buy one anywhere ?

Many many thanks for the info.

Will try this out today !

I've got two Belkin F5U234 Hubs (after finding my powered 7 port hub nuked the ethernet port for reasons way beyond my comprehension. It works great . I can hang my usb keyboard, mouse and hard disk on it, also powes the R Pi. Brill ! the SD card with a load of music shows up fine ! Being ambitious,...

I though fast and big is good, so I got a 16GB Class 10 SD card. On using the Raspbian image for the first time, it asked me did I want to resize the root to use all the card. So I selected that and rebooted. So now I'm very curious as to what size the Raspbian image normally comes out at ? Also wha...

So taking a feed out of the TV Scart connector would be good, if its got one !

Many thanks again for the help !

I am using Raspbian on an HDMI TV

i would like to play Music through the 3,5mm Audio socket and a HiFi system as the TV is a small portable with terrible speakers/

is there any way to get both ports working at the same time ?

Dhardingham's Tip about the Belkin 4 port Hub F5U234 worked a treat and for the first time I had a free port to hang some MP3 music onto my R Pi !

Mega Brilliant !

Many thanks especially for Dhardinham .

There are a lot of mysteries as to why 7 port usb hubs, on some Raspberry's stop the ethernet port working under the LX GUI (not from Bash / CLI using Ping). I've used a very well regulated 5V supply. Also fed the Power to the R Pi from the port and still the hub does not work. So a Belkin (?) hub i...
