One of my Pi 1 B, running Stretch, does not get a good IP address in order to connect to internet. It gets 169.254.126.50 That IP address indicates that the machine has been unable to contact a DHCP server, so has made up an IP address for itself. Try connecting the problem Pi to the same port on t...

Once again - a big congrats on the new homepage. I know there have been grumbles from a few people on here, but I am personally very impressed by the new design. I have an idea for a slight tweak to the way blog posts are presented. The blog posts appear in coloured boxes offset at a jaunty angle. T...

Oh, we have commented already: viewtopic.php?f=63&t=218497

Mostly negatively.

Yeah I saw that. What I meant to say was - I am surprised nobody has else has reacted positively to the change!

andrum99

Just a quick message to say well done on the new homepage - it's a big improvement on the old one! It's really eye-catching, easy to read and has all of the essential information "above the fold" as they say. I'm surprised to see nobody else seems to have commented thus far, at least that I can see,...

I managed to fix this myself using the instructions at https://www.abelectronics.co.uk/kb/arti ... an-stretch. I added some lines to log the progress of the /lib/udev/hwclock-set script and verified that it was functioning as expected.

I've just noticed a problem with my RTC-equiped Pi running Raspbian Stretch. The problem is that the RTC does not appear to be being used. The RTC is a ds1307 based device, so I have loaded the required device tree fragment by including the following in /boot/config.txt: dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1307 The...

Seems to be back to normal now - not sure what happened. It may or may not be down to the new kernel that was issued today, which I have installed.

I use one of my Raspberry Pi's as a NAS, storing backup copies of some files on two USB hard discs. Today I tried syncing one of the directories that I back up to the Pi, and noticed the speed of transfer across the network has dropped. I used to get around 100Mbps, but now the speed has dropped to ...

I'm trying to set up an old raspberry pi as a samba fileserver in a small (homeoffice + family) net. Following some instructions i found so far i could install samba and setup the configuration correctly. BUT: i encounter problems when i try to restart samba. sudo systemctl enable samba results in ...

I am having a problem with the version of Kodi supplied from the "official" Raspbian repository. It refuses to connect via samba to another Pi configured with min protocol=SMB3. I have tested LibreELEC on the same Pi and it connects fine. How can I get the Raspbian-bundled Kodi to do the same?

andrum99

I think for the Pi platform the current system is the best option. Noobs want access to the latest features, while folk who have tweaked settings can go into the config files and pull out anything they want to retain. The warning that appears on the desktop after config files are moved aside must be...

Hi folks. I'm looking to swap my Raspberry Pi 3B+ back onto the wired interface for its network connection - I have been using the wifi connection while there were still question marks about the wired interface. I believe from reading forums posts etc that the ethernet adapter is now working much b...

andrum99

You definitely don't have to use a modem, but it does make things easier. You need a modem with "voice" capability. This allows you to capture sound from the phone line, and play sound out to the phone line. The advantage of using a modem is that modems are designed to be able to monitor the line fo...

And so finally to my questions: 1. Why is the UUID only 8 chars for this (exfat) partition? Is it due to the MBR scheme that was used, or is it something else? Where is this documented? 2. Why does the UUID change when I format the partition? 3. Given that the UUID is subject to change, why would o...

Hi Is there any software except Labview to programm the raspberry pi3 B with graphical function block since I have tried many times with labview but NOT wotk Please help I don't know how Labview works, but "graphical function block" sounds like it might be how Scratch works. I programmed handheld s...

andrum99

please send me the link for the raspbian which could be compatible to my RPI3B I've looked at the instruction you have been following, and it seems that the instructions are basically to install Raspbian, then install Labview using the installer. Have you spoken to National Instruments about why th...

To get the fix, use rpi-update to get the very latest firmware or you could also get it directly from https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/0f5f899ccec1c2ef8bba02aa49700b4ec19b4199/boot/bootcode.bin True, although in the past there have been subtle issues with using firmware that is newer th...

The bootcode.bin only booting on the Pi 3B+ is fixed as of this commit:

https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware ... 4ec19b4199

To get the fix, use rpi-update to get the very latest firmware, then copy the new bootcode.bin to your boot SD card.

andrum99

According to https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/bootflow.md , the Pi should check each USB mass storage device for bootcode.bin, then boot from the first one on which it finds this file. It is possible that with 2 USB devices connected, the second drive is takin...

It may be true that I've misunderstood it, but I recall reading that for the new 3B+ model, it is designed to be able to boot via USB - implying there was not a need to set the OTP if you had the 3B+. (still need to for 3B). You are partially correct. There is different bit in the OTP that must be ...

andrum99

I'm curious about this too, since it was pointed out to me in another thread, how does the Pi know to delay the timeout for 5 seconds, if the file that tells it to do so (config.txt) is on the USB device that is still spinning up? You have misunderstood how that works. The program_usb_timeout=1 set...

andrum99

I have read how to enable booting from a USB drive here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/bootflow.md . It mentions that if a USB device fails to respond quickly enough once the Pi activates its USB ports, the setting "program_usb_timeout=1" can be used in con...

andrum99

To clarify - all models of Raspberry Pi are either on or off - there is no way of powering them down to a "sleep" mode. In fact, when you "power off" the Pi from within the operating system, what it actually does is reboot with a special reason code that tells the firmware to stop and do nothing (an...
