Having followed your "keyboard link", it looks as if it's one with a "US English" layout. By default, raspbian wheezy expects a "UK English" layout. There are other keys with symbols in different places too. Just "sudo raspi-config" and go through the keyboard set-up option menus, re-boot (sudo shut...

Ive fixed sudoers now i get a different error sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers.d/sudoers near line 25 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin Joey, AFAIK the ONLY file in the /etc/sudoers.d/ directory should be the README file as listed below, unless...

Hi Joey, /etc/sudoers MUST be edited with visudo - see raspbian example below: # # This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root. # # Please consider adding local content in /etc/sudoers.d/ instead of # directly modifying this file. # # See the man page for details on how to write a sud...

im 15 and very new to pi i didnt know some of the things you just said but i know what you mean... roughly. so i turn on my pi, run the expand_rootfs, then login as pi and go from there? No problem, I'm an "old ..." to my youngest daughter who's your age, but there's a lot of Linux/Pi stuff I don't...

Hi pluggy, I have 3 Pi 'B's running headless full time with these, no problems. The one 'A' I have doesn't like the RTL8188CUS at all. It bombs out at random intervals all the time, its entirely stable with a USB/Ethernet adaptor I plug into it. I just put to down to the Pi's ongoing USB issues. Its...

okay, i tried the cd /; sudo du -k | sort -n -r | head and got 1322692 of my 2GB memory card used and i didnt boot up with a pre installed image or choose 'expand_rootfs' or any of that i checked to make 100% certian i had network connection and i havent downloaded anything so i dont see how my spa...

Hi thot, I've had similar things happen occasionally with a couple of WiFi dongles using the same chip-set when using either of them with my model A pi (I also have some B's.). However, I've associated these events with my getnet router which has a tendency to "forget" WiFi connections (usually the ...

Hi Conaz9847, I'm applying some "lateral thinking" here, and beginning to wonder if your "strange apt-get errors" are a symptom of something else ie. could your SD card be tight on space (and hence apt-get hasn't enough room to work properly)? To test this hypothesis ... Q1: Are you using an SD card...

PuTTY is good for ssh terminal login with X11 forwarding.
For VNC etc. see the wiki guides at http://elinux.org/RPi_Guides for "starters".

I would humbly like to ask another question: Can I just let be plugged and on all the time? Because there is not power-button and I do not even know how to "close" it without unplugging. If you're using the GUI desktop logout ("red button" icon, bottom right). Once back at the "command prompt" (bla...

How are you copying files between the machines? Or are you really streaming media files? My preferred method to transfer files between a Windows box and a Pi is basic (secure) ftp using a cross-platform client such as FileZilla (there are others). Can the Pi still ping the Windows box - if by "not s...

David, A quick update (and thanks for the PM) - I've been able to reproduce the problem. It looks as if the "fix" to the Raspbian desktop to enable "hotplug" detection and auto-mounting of USB sticks only works for user Pi. It does not seem to matter what groups a new user has been added to (NB: How...

Unfortunately, knowing, as yet, nothing of Linux, the contents of your web page are at present a mystery to me! My puzzle is: what is the difference between the pre-created user "pi" and a new user with apparently the same properties as "pi" but with differing reaction to a USB storage device. Also...

I'm not quite sure "what's going wrong" but, whilst it's probably "overkill" for your needs, the approach I describe at http://www.cpmspectrepi.webspace.virginmedia.com/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/MultipleUsbSticks.html in my webpages might, hopefully, be of some help. Usually USB "thumb drives" jus...

... i made both partitions primary now, but it seems that when i edit fstab the drive is not mounted. if i dont add the harddrive to fstab it will mount, but not at my specified folder /mnt/downloads ... Hmm... The normal mount point for an external drive is "/media/drive_partition_name" where "dri...

I have wired the ds1621 with raspberry pi. ... i don't know why the address was randomly changed(in the range of 0x48 to 0x4f). ... Random address changes on an i2c device usually occur if one or more of its A0 - A2 address pins have not been connected to 0v or Vcc (ie. logic low or high). In this ...

Some PS/2 to USB adapters require a powered hub to work (they may draw upto 500mA). What does "lsusb" and "usb-devices" report for yours? The few examples I've tried can be seen at http://www.cpmspectrepi.webspace.virginmedia.com/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/PS2toUSBadapters.html . For more info. on ...

Hi Trev, ... If i use fdisk -l ill get this: root@raspbmc:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 7948 MB, 7948206080 bytes 4 heads, 32 sectors/track, 121280 cylinders, total 15523840 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optim...

Just in case it is a case of SD card socket failure, you can find example pictures at http://www.cpmspectrepi.webspace.virginmedia.com/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/SDcardSocketFailure.html of my second Pi which suffered in that way. I could still get it to boot if I "squeezed" the SD card into place ...

Re: my earlier comment w.r.t. Win32DiskImage and "inbuilt" SD card slots - this thread http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=15186 seems to "tie in" with my concerns. sdjf, I like the idea of using a Pi to "do the job", the only "cautionary note" is that, according to "usb-devices" ...

... Basically I have an image file that I'm using Win32DiskImage to put onto a set of 8GB Ultra SansDisk cards Some of my RPi will not boot off them - sit their and do nothing but they work in others that I have. Other types of cards work in the RPi that the 8GB ones won't work in. ... Hi Simon, Th...

NervExl, On re-reading your original post I think I've now spotted what was "not quite right": ... The drive is formatted in 2 partitions with ext4. ive got sdb5 and sdb6, sdb6 mount every time the pi starts up, even though i havent put it in to /etc/fstab. ... If the drive just contained two ext4 (...

Hmm... in the last two weeks or so there have been a number of posts about "unbootable Pi's" listing similar symptoms esp. "green LED (act) flashing for about/less than a second". Said normally flashes for some time as the Pi boots up from the first partition on the SD card. (For more info. on LED s...

Trev, when I mention "losing contact" I do not mean the Internet. ... MacValley Neither did I, specifically, it's just that, for many folks their LAN is provided by their router, which may be wired only, WiFi only or, like mine, both wired and WiFi. Since you have confirmed that your LAN is wired t...

See http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals for a few . Personally I suggest the Hama "Kidney" shaped hub I've investigated. The Targus hub and the Gemini switching hub should be OK too - the latter enables you to switch between two computers - I use it to share an external mouse and keyboard betw...
