I think that your /etc/fstab entry may not be quite right: FWIW examples of (my approach) to auto-mounting (in my case USB flash drives) can be seen at http://www.cpmspectrepi.webspace.virginmedia.com/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/MultipleUsbSticks.html . It also contains links to other info. in the w...

The dual usb (Y) cord may have helped a little but, in my experience, and based upon measurements of the loading performance and inter-connectivity of the ports of a number of "powered hubs" (albeit "low-cost" ones) it's the hub's PSU that's the "critical" component. Many external disk drives need a...

FWIW in case it's your PuTTY setup there are a few examples within my webpages at http://www.cpmspectrepi.webspace.virginmedia.com/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/PuTTY4RaspPi.html . Assuming the Pi does have its ssh server running (it normally does on a "clean" raspbian image) it's possible that the wi...

How do you connect to the internet ie. are you using a wired or WiFi connection to a router, or by "internet connection sharing" or similar via another computer. Generally I've not had any problems with wired connections but occasionally a WiFi connection has been lost. However, in my case, it's pro...

Hi rspi, I've never used the "blkid" command to get a disk's UUID - my approach is outlined within my webpages at http://www.cpmspectrepi.webspace.virginmedia.com/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/MultipleUsbSticks.html . The only times I've known a UUID to change is when a (flash)disk is re-formatted and...

I've only "played around" with Samba a little, and that was some years ago when I set up sharing on a Fedora-based server. However, if there are (sub-)directories on the share it might be that "everyone" needs "execute" permission as well as "read" so that directory (levels) can be "changed" (IIRC, ...

IIRC the figure of 50mA is the absolute maximum current any ONE of the GPIO pins can source or sink. It is not recommended that you use 3.3V power pin (P1) to supply more than a few mA to a connected circuit since, again IIRC, 50mA is also the total current. Depending upon their colour and the forwa...

Hello, the cable modem has one Ethernet port and one USB port. Nobody asked for a MAC address of my laptop so it can not be registered there. It can be by chance in the “allowed” list but is hard to believe. In order to get PI connected also, I used a powered Ethernet hub which is working, all port...

Whilst I'm not familiar with that many different "cable modem" types, those that have been provided by my ISP usually have had only one ethernet port** and require an external router to provide a DHCP service for the (household's) Local Area Network (LAN) using one of the local IP address groups. If...

More detailed info. needed ... What is "an ethernet relay board with RJ45 port"? (I can think of at least two interpretations of that phrase - probably both "wrong" :) ) IE. Make, model no. ... Does the ethernet port on the Pi work O.K. when connected to a LAN port on your router (if you have one) o...

I've found the newer devices of those I've made notes about here (http://www.cpmspectrepi.webspace.virginmedia.com/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/WiFiBlueToothAdapters.html) O.K. - they're all "just a few pounds". However, WiFi dongles can be "power hungry" when trying to connect, requiring upto 500mA ...

I use a dlink DWL-122 G on the pi with 2013-02-09-wheezy-raspbian (no rpi-updates, no dist-upgrade only apt-get update/install) Bus 001 Device 005: ID 2001:3c00 D-Link Corp. AirPlus G DWL-G122 Wireless Adapter(rev.B1) [Ralink RT2571] Is the dongle plugged directly into the Pi or via a hub? If the l...

I just found this in my garage: it's a Netgear Wireless-N Dual Band. I tried to use this, but it was not picked up on the Pi. Is there something I need to do first? Is that a router or a dongle? Without the model type/number I can't tell. However a quick, generic search suggests it may be a fairly ...

... If I connect the raspberry pi to the computer with an ethernet cable from the wireless to the pi, would the computer's internet be able to download things for the Pi? If this doesn't work, how else can I download software to my Pi without directly accessing the internet via the Pi itself (aka b...

Nick (torquetube), Most of the cases I've come across (eg. via Amazon) tend to support "ribbon cable" style connection to GPIO prototyping boards. However I am using the "Slice of PI/O" derivative of "Slice of Pi" with a couple of cases (see pictures on my webpages: http://www.cpmspectrepi.webspace....

Also, I have to mount and set a mount directory every time I power up the Pi which is not convenient. I'm sure there must be a way around this, but I have not been able to find the answer on here so far. More info. on auto-mounting and editing /etc/fstab can be found in the wiki eg. http://elinux.o...

... I have a 20x4 i2c lcd screen that is powered through an Arduino and has the SDA and SCL pins connected to the Raspberry Pi. ... Do you have a ground connection between the Pi and the LCD screen/Arduino? (Silly question maybe, but sometimes we miss the obvious. Many years ago I had a screening/g...

This may be a "red-herring", but I wonder if it's related to the HDMI "hot plug detection" issue I've noted/logged in the wiki (http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting#No_HDMI_output_at_all). It so happens that the (other) common factor is that the two Pi's in question (one a B2, the other an A) have...

Update on the USB-LAN dongle issue. It looks now the problem is a "specific hardware" issue. Two of the dongles appear to cause lock-up, but the third (Pluscom brand) seems stable. (I'm using it and the Model A Pi to browse & post to the forum "at this moment in time" :) ). I'm awaiting a fourth, US...

Hmmm. Not quite the setup I was thinking of. The only thing that comes to mind is possible "lease time" issues - A DHCP server usually "leases" an IP address to the client for a fixed time, usually a few hours. This is because the local (sub-)network will only have a limited number of such available...

ranzig, You might find the (Tight)VNC guides on the wiki (http://elinux.org/RPi_Guides) of some help. I didn't have an HDMI/DVI monitor when I bought my first Pi and found them useful - I was able to get a "remote desktop" either via Windows XP or Ubuntu (my netbook is dual-boot). For Secure Shell l...

sixstringsg, Are you connecting wirelessly (WiFi) or wired? Are you using static IP addresses or DHCP. By default raspbian uses DHCP to get the IP address (don't know about XBMC). If DHCP is in use, I guess your "switch" is really a "router" and, if that's the case, it is/should be running the DHCP ...

tekblom, Like rurwin I suspect that the drive is drawing too much current on "spin-up". You state that it's USB 3.0, seagate model, this suggests that it's a "large" drive ie. 500Gb upwards - generally speaking higher capacity drives within a model range will draw higher spin-up currents because the...

Hi Trevor, I have carried out the above and it returns Ralink technology corporation RT 5370 wireless adapter mx pwr 450 ma Dongle is on the hub. I've just checked the wiki (http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#Working_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters) and it suggests that "RT5370 USB-ID 148f:5370 (requires...

fishxz: IIRC "raspi-config" first appeared in Wheezy Raspbian in the autumn of 2012**. It normally runs automatically when you first boot from a clean, fresh image on the SD card, providing options to change user pi's password, setup key board options, timezone, expand the filesystem to fill the SD ...
