I haven't messed with this sort of stuff before so I fear my terminology may be wrong. All I need is music that I can have on a video that won't get it pulled or flag on video sharing sites such as youtube.

I have my cifs mount setup in fstab to mount after networking comes up using _netdev. It worked for a long time but after some update it appears to have stopped working. If I run sudo mount -a then my cifs drive mounts correctly. It appears this is a well known issue for older versions of cifs-utils...

The video shows how to setup your keyboard correctly provided you are using a UK keyboard. Are you using a UK keyboard?

I'm having a bit of fun and wanted to make a montage of different projects that have been done with the pi, however I have little to no creativity when it comes to music selection. Can anyone thing of some fun songs that would work in the background for such a thing? Alternatively, does anyone know ...

Come on Jamesh, get behind this idea! No need to leave model A buyers in the lurch just because something something... What I don't count as a mod? To be fair Jamesh has not posted here for a while since he last suggested that the answer was buy a model "B" Actually his last post was It don't think...

Well it looks like our aims are pretty much the same. It just looked to me that to use your idea required some connectivity with the Pi although I could be wrong. Trying to figure out what Python does is a bit of a mystery to me. My primary programming language is Zilog Z80 assembler. ah, the progr...

If editing files in Windows, with normal Windows editors, won't there be possible problems with line endings when trying to run them on the Pi? May be a good idea to suggest a suitable editor that can produce files with Linux compatible line endings. I use an editor - notepad++, http://notepad-plus...

Great stuff :) Just trying to get my head into gear over how it works Could you post a simple example of how to setup so you can just change the wpa supplicant stuff to change wifi SSID/password settings please? Simon I've added the file "example" to the github which contains detailed instructions ...

Over the past week I've been messing around with this issue, I decided that I wanted it to be a larger solution than just for wifi issues. The end result was this program https://github.com/abishur/rpi-conf it's not part of the image, but it is ready for serious testing and attempts to break it. It ...

Looking at the last post in that thread I notice you do a cron job to ping your router too, was that the only way you could find to keep the connection stable? I resolved this in two ways. First, running a cron with a ping every 30 seconds, and if necessary an ifdown/ifup, completely alleviated bot...

@abishur It is ok If i used wep instead of wpa ? I still used wep. But i can't get internet working. :x :x :x Supra I've honestly never used wep on my pi, I view it like trying to protect a burglar from getting into a house by closing a screen door, it might stop anyone too lazy to open it, but it ...

Well, I re-re-re-re-re-re installed the card using the torrent link and tried your suggested modifications to my file. It seems to be working now. One interesting side effect of all this is after doing the rpi-update and what not, I'm noticing about half a second ping times. I had encountered this i...

Yeah, I'm using the Model A Presumably you've checked the adapter is plugged in OK. Could perhaps be a dodgy connection. Yep, Connection is good The only other thing I can think of is if the SD card is a bit dodgy, or perhaps didn't get written correctly. But that would probably be rather more catas...

I was trying out the new raspbian image today and have been having problems with wireless. I'm using a realtek wifi adapter. I have the ssid and psk in my /etc/network/interfaces and don't use wpa_supplicant. I copied my interfaces file directly from the old image, except with the new image on boot ...

I had some issue with it too which ultimately ended up revolving around it's power saving features. This thread

has the information I found on it.

The Sainsmart Solid State Relay boards can be controlled from the pi very nicely. They're more expensive but they work by using an opto-isolator. You trigger the opto-isolator with the low voltage/current of the Pi's GPIO and then it uses 5V from either the pi or an external source to trigger the SSR.

I can't believe I'm necroing this thread, but I was wondering if you ever did anything with this. I also had a moment today where I thought, why not just put the interfaces file on the fat32 partition and do a symbolic link to it in /etc/network. This would allow you to modify your network setup fro...

Star Control 2 lagging even with 1000 Mhz overclocking unfortunately. P.S. Tested with original DosBox. SC2 is hands down my favorite game of *all* time. You can run the Ur-Quan Master's version very nicely on the pi. I did a post here http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5310 desc...

It also helps to remember that there are multiple GPU interfaces for the pi that are well documented and fully accessible on the ARM side of life such that that young college kid in your scenario wouldn't be limited from learning anything they wanted to about GPU stuff and would be able to do so in ...

abishur

Lack of technical documentation? You have the Arm side datasheet - not the best in the world, but for educational purposes this lack is again, irrelevant Well that depends on what you want to teach the majority. Eben Upton stated that the Pi was born because of the lack of basic programming skills ...

As I recall when I did it, Dosbox, regardless of if you're using the Pi or a traditional computer, cannot handle Win95. Really? I have iDOS on my iPhone, which is based on DOSbox 0.74, which runs Windows 95. I'm just repeating what I learned while setting up windows 3.1 Specifically from here http:...
