Well I see that the pi comes for 35$, but I was reading somewhere you need a usb power supply and stuff, I have a mouse, keyboard and monitor I don't really have alot of money to burn on this, what one should I buy? I see the 35$ one comes with a keyboard and a mouse, is it worth it? Do I need anyt...

Now this is wierd. It won't boot with the HDMI disconnected, but it will boot with the HDMI to VGA dongle plugged into the HDMI port but not connected to anything!!! Any thoughts? bob I haven't used any HDMI to VGA dongles myself but, IIRC according to the wiki and other forum posts one "has to tak...

Hi all, I'm trying to access my pen-drive before entering lxde, the problem is pen-drive is being recognized but the files within the pen-drive is not accessible. I logged in as root, then the following command cd CC1D-CFAC #CC1D-CFAC is pendrive device id then, ls couldnt find any file. But once i...

Yes, I have now watched more carefully and the ACT green light blink a few time when I plug the power. After that it seems that this ACT is still on, only very faint (that's why I didn't saw it the first time). Is there any hope? Any measurement I can do? (I have a voltmeter). Thanks Take a look at...

Hello, My old set up was a Virgin cable modem and a Belkin router, worked fine. I've now been supplied with a "Super Hub" and I am having some problems. I've set it up as a router with no wireless, just cable to the Pi. I'm trying to do away with the Belkin router (one less thing to go wrong). From...

I have enabled ssh and can connect to my Raspberry Pi from my Linux desktop. However if I physically disconnect the keyboard, mouse and video but leave the network connect in, my Raspberry Pi won't boot. I have power as indicated by the red LED. I get a brief flicker on the green LED but then nothi...

... I am trying to connect pi model B using 2012-08-08-wheezy-raspbian to Viewsonic vg2021m monitor and all I see the logo on the screen..? Do I have to download any drivers for this monitor ..? ... 1) The latest version of Wheezy is 2013-02-09-wheezy-raspbian a zipped image of which can be downloa...

Hello all, I recently purchased a Model B Raspberry Pi and am having some troubles with the network. OS: Raspbian "wheezy" SD: 32gb micro with an adapter To begin, I should mention that my Pi's ethernet cable is connected to the ethernet port on the motherboard of my PC. ... Presumably you have a g...

Thank you very much, just a little question about the LED's, the ones I chose are 2.2-.2.25V but let's say I put 3V through the LED. How long would it take to break? Just precautions and how bright will it be when I put 1 or 1.5V through it? Is there a formula to calculate it? 2.2 - 2.25V is the LE...

It's possible your SD card has become corrupted, especially if you've just been "unplugging the Pi" without using "sudo shutdown -h now" (or equivalent) first maybe? You don't need an HDMI/DVI TV/monitor to get a display. If you have access to a TV with an A/V input you just need an RCA (phono) vide...

LED's appear to be fine - the Pi's probably not detecting your HDMI TV and reverting to low res A/V (yellow RCA socket) by default. Try putting your TV into HDMI mode before booting up the Pi. Other possible issues/solutions can be found on the wiki at http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting#No_HDMI_...

The green led blinks only once when I plug in the power and that's all. With other OS the green led is blinking constantly. I'm using an analogue output if that helps by any chance. Edit: there's no loader.bin file after each write. Is it invisible on windows or was it removed in newer builds? load...

... I have to start LXDE to get access (and then close it again or open a terminal). What should I do to access the USB flash drive from the get-go? You need to arrange things so that the drive can be "auto-mounted" at boot time. This involves editing the file /etc/fstab and creating a directory su...

The main problem now is that I can't boot wheezy at all... Arch Linux ARM and RISC OS work just fine. Edit: even Raspbian Server Edition boots nicely. What the hell am I doing wrong? I'm not sure that "Wheezy" isn't booting - my previous comments were based on the possibility of "Wheezy" booting, b...

... Edit: should my TV display something at all if no SD is booted? Edit2: I managed to boot up Arch Linux ARM. Why couldn't I boot up Raspbian “wheezy”? Neither Soft-float Debian, neither Hard-float works. Edit3: I could also boot RISC OS. What's up with wheezy? 1) Any TV display requires booting ...

I was "pipped at the post" by DeeJay for my main point :) but would also add: 1) Have you tried with the T.V. switched on and in HDMI mode before plugging in/booting the Pi? 2) Have you tried just using the (albeit low res.) A/V mode via an "RCA yellow plug" cable to the T.V. A/V input (as used by o...

... I'd like to know how it would harm the Pi. It would be nice to know which part of the Pi is going to blow up first if the voltage rises above 5.25V (especially because mine don't) and at what voltage this will happen. Hi Joan, Without looking at the Pi's schematics in detail (IIRC they may be f...

Two other useful commands are: apropos "foobar" which will list programs, libraries etc. with the string "foobar" in their name, short help or similar - can help you find a potentially useful app. you didn't know you had. :) (NB: don't type in the quotation marks - I'm using them here for "improved"...

... 2. If I use another psu, it looks like I need to be careful with not overloading the board as I can't see any circuit protection. Therefore, what is the maximum volts and ampage I can apply. I'm presuming 5v and 1000ma. Or can I go to 9v? ... For Model B1 (256Mb) & B2 (512Mb) boards recommended...

... I cannot display the correct screen on my screen: I got the setup blue screen on the monitor while VNC shows me the raspberry home page... What is going on? In addition, the blue screen is not displayed everytime. It is the best result I have: nothing or blue ... ... The "VNC screen" layout wil...

... Can someone give me an idea of what I can do to get the sound to work? I am testing with headphones ( like the book says I can) so it could possibly be a power issue, but this I am unsure of. ... Which book? AFIK the Pi's sound O/P is "high impedence" and therefore only compatible with an audio...

Hi M33P, Not sure whether the above (also) referred to my USB-LAN/model A issues too, but I've tried it anyway with mixed results: No change with the working dongle (a "Davicom DM9000E" based device). Worse for the oldest (circa 2010) JP108/Kontron DM9601 device - crashed/froze less than a minute a...

Hi bonio, A number of other posts/threads have reported similar issues with SD cards written via "windows32diskimager" (or equivalent). At the same time respondents have stated "I've had no problem with version ...." (or similar). I've flagged up SDHC compatibility issues with older netbooks, which ...
