Re: Issues with crontab and Raspivid

0) use nice
1) Use the root crontab and remove sudo.
2) make the script non-blocking ( nohup & , screen, tmux)
3) don't assume PATH or anything else in the environment is set.
4) wrap it in a service (/etc/inint.d/)
5) add some logging (date>>, 1>>, 2>>, echo return=$?>>, printenv>>)

Re: Quick Question: Powering devices

could be made to work, you need to look up and add up the W to see if the psu will cope. If not just wire in an extra psu.

Re: RaspberryPi - OpenVPN + apache2

1 nmap to see if the port is really open,
2 try a diffrent port. (some cheap routers won't forward 80)
3 check Apache is not ignoring that domain due to virtual sites.

Re: OpenVPN trouble

Well if it's not booting do a fresh install and try again (hopefully you scripted your changes) but disable vpn with update-rc.d before rebooting (not that there is a need to reboot)

Re: Access on Raspbmc from Mac

log into the pi with ssh (in Terminal.app) and type mount to see if it's mounted read only.
Also check that the smb share is writable.

There is really no need to do anything other than installing raspbmc. Works out of the box.

Re: I have a dream

Format as lvm+ext4 (LUKS is optional)


Use rsync -a to copy only the new files and file parts from the clients to the server. Then use rdiff-backup to add a snapshot.

Or just use crashplan.

Re: lame encoder for pidora 2014

Did you try

Code: Select all

yum search lame
?


And if for some unlikely reason it's not in the repo you can use 'alien' to install the debian package which I know exists.
