When the RPi is powered via the micro USB power plug the current first passes through a 'poly' fuse. The poly fuse is a self resetting type. When the fuse is tripped it will self heal if left alone and powered down for a few hours. The fuse designated F3 on the board can only handle about 750mA of c...

I have a generic USB hub and want to power it, how do I power it? Can I input electricity from a phone charger into one of the USBs? If so how? Thanks! I would not attempt to 'backfeed' power into one of the USB ports on your HUB. It may backfeed all the way to the RPi and interfere with the power ...

...... The problem is that people are used to having a power button. So having a button that they can identify as the shutdown button would stop a lot of the problems that people are having. Yes but nobody uses the power button to shut down. Modern PC's will shut down even the power supply after do...

Re run the config utility and go to the internationalization menu and do the keyboard setup. If your exact keyboard is not listed then choose one of the generic keyboards. After that you will be asked to set the country and some other options.

sudo raspi-config

Over the past 30 years or so I have messed with computers from C64 to mainframes and every one of them risked data loss if not powered down correctly. A power down switch is not going to do anything for you in the case of a power outage. I also think many corruptions are due to 'brownouts' from bad ...

I don't know if you can get the NOOBS setup headless. To me headless means network connection (WIFI or wired) with nothing else connected. NOOBS requires interaction, asks you which OS you want to install etc. You may want to try the raw image Raspbian instead. The images are DHCP enabled. The Pidor...

Put in a USB stick and copy files to it. You should have been doing this or some form of backup already.

It works the same way with me using RDP and Rdesktop on my computer. Only the logout is available. Though the log out seems to work for me.

Probably can be done by moderator but others were told to just abandon the unwanted and create a new account.

The reason I building a power switch in the first place is because I need the Pi to be able to shutdown remotely and cut it's own power. Also I cannot toggle the Pin, either from the terminal or Python. It stays at 0 volts. Connecting a keyboard makes no difference. I have tried a loopback test whi...

i got the wifi settled for my liking (i guess), as far as logging off.... when I'm in my remote session and i click logoff, the screen goes white (like it is loggin off) and then just comes back up. It wont let me log off. AND there is no shutdown/reboot option. Chicken for mac uses VNC and I have ...

There are many cases like yours:
Likely your power supply can not provide enough power AND/OR the USB devises together draw too much power.
The fuse on the RPi limits the amount of current to 750mA even if you have a sufficient power supply.
Try your USB devices on a powered USB hub.

This is normal. Whenever you log in with SSH or RDP you are starting a completely different session on the RPi independent of the main session screen on the RPi. It's also important that you properly log off from your remote sessions so you don't end up with multiple sessions running on the RPi. I d...

In order to use the rpi-update command you have to first download and install it and I think some other stuff. https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update I just use the standard commands. These will update the firmware to a new enough version which will work with both old and new RPi's with the different ...

The top USB port in my newly bought Pi (model B) is not working. I've plugged in a keyboard and xbox controller into the bottom port and they work fine, however when I plug them in to the top port, the lights on them light up for a second and they aren't detected. Is ther any further trouble shooti...

You must use sudo to edit a config file or any file owned by root:
sudo nano config.txt

I never used Xming. I use RDP in the RPi and it works fine.

what is a noobs installation? I booted into Ubuntu, searched for it, but it could not find it. Will try again. The file should be in the /boot folder. Note that since this is a separate partition boot will not be together with the other folders and files. It will be by itself like a separate disk d...

If you have noobs installation then you can no longer see the cmdline.txt etc from a Windows computer. If you have access to a Linux desktop with a card reader then you can use that to find and edit the cmdline.txt It's located in the boot directory. I haven't tried this recovery process myself, but...

Also many programs cannot be used on a composite screen because the programs have been written with a fixed resolution which is larger than the composite display. For example......

There is no 'factory' SD card. Any 'bundled' cards were made by a 3rd party such as the distributor and may not have the latest updates.
In order to get the latest you need to download from the RPi site and install yourself.

How did you make a backup? Your backup image should be the size of your SD card. If your card is 8GB then the backup will be 8GB. If not you did not backup what you needed. You can only see the boot and installation files from your computer. The rest of the RPi image is on a different Linux type par...

Any electronic component on the RPi board can be damaged by static not just the camera module. The same precautions should be used with both the RPi and the camera module. Especially don't carry them in your bare hands while walking across carpet. Put them in a anti static bag when transporting. (Ne...
