Can't SSH in to my Raspberry...

I couldn't find anywhere to plug in power or the SD card. Could that be it?

Re: Video card.....

No, there is no VGA out. You can use either a ~£2 passive HDMI to DVI-D cable for DVI-D monitors, or an active cable for HDMI to VGA.

You cannot use a passive DVI to VGA converter as there is no analog signal in the HDMI out.

There are several threads on this - have a search.

Re: Wi-Fi and keyboard problem

You're quite lucky that your WiFi dongle works when plugged directly into the pi in any configuration. Most people can't get that working as dongles tend to draw more than the 100mA allowed. There are real problems with the USB part of the Pi. The driver has been identified as accounting for about 2...

Re: Status of SD card compatibility - What should I buy?

Now resolved in the latest builds. See link above for details. I'm currently listening to music from a 16GB Sandisk class 10 microsd card in its adapter using the latest build OpenELEC on my pi. £10.10 - but it took a couple of weeks to come from Malaysia/South Korea.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2...

Re: Running with Power port unplugged

If you have a good powered hub then you do not need a separate power adapter as you can power the Pi via the hub itself (at the cost of losing a port on the Hub to powering the Pi). As I understand it you can only do this if you have a poor quality powered hub that breaks the rules and exceeds the ...

Re: How are IT Techs going to be able to cope?

If you are going to use raspi's to write cards, then they must be connected to external USB card writers I tried this at work today in my lunchtime. Writing from the 2012_06_10_spindle_wheezy_public_alpha.img image on the SD card to a card writer on USB hub took a very long time - and I had to do i...

No you're not reading it wrong. This is the device I noted as being a "pile of poo". I have exactly this problem with it using its power supply on a PC. I ended up pulling out the +5V pin on the USB-A end of the cable to ensure that the 5V didn't fry anything it was plugged into. I also changed for ...
