..... trying to install Squeezelite on your Linux OS fills me with dread. Or can someone point me in the direction of some meaningful instructions. You must be easily frightened. :lol: You type 'setup' then follow the menus (cursor keys, Tab key, Enter key) and answer a few 'yes/no' questions. Simp...

Mr Webster normally gives good advice but on this occasion I have serious doubts. I think http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 22#p219222 will be more useful to the OP.

As for LM78s05 never used one however I can tell you that LM7805 needs at least an input of 6.6v before it can provide a regulated 5v output.. The LM78s05 is a "low dropout" regulator and can work with a much lower input to output difference. However, 5.1 volts out from 5.6 in is a bit "iffy" espec...

(I have tried that but the current Squeezeplug card, 8GB, says that it has only 76MB free and won't allow me to Format it back to 8GB) Some methods of writing the image (eg the command line 'sudo dd bs=1M if=/path/os.img of=/dev/sdx; sudo sync' type in Linux) do not require the card to be reformatt...

The most elegant solution would be to modify the Dell supply to give 5 volts. But that would require getting access to the internals, 'reverse engineering' the design and understanding it enough to know how to modify it. Could be as simple as changing one resistor. But maybe not the most practical s...

My new RS supplied 512MB RPi is also cutting out consistently at between 5 and 15 mins after switch on. I used a temperature probe to measure (several times) the Samsung RAM chip and this shows a surface temperature of 34.5 - 34.7C at cut-out. The room air temperature was 22.1C. I then applied a ha...

To pass the cables, I planned my work at home in all rooms the cables in ceiling: I hope you used quality cables and kept them well away from mains wiring. Analogue baseband audio over unbalanced cables of that kind of length can be subject to hum/noise/interference pickup and earth loops. :( I'm n...

If using Ubuntu (or Linux in general) the command line method of writing an image (sudo dd bs=1M if=anyold.img of=/dev/sdx;sudo sync) will work without needing reformatting, or changing partition sizes or deleting partitions.

That is standard behaviour in Linux. Just type the password followed by the "Enter" or "Carriage Return" key. Note that the default password is usually "raspberry" for user "pi" in the RPi Debians.

You should be able to rewrite an image to a card without needing to format it. However if the card has a valid Debian image and the card is not defective/damaged you should be able to see to see at least one partition from a Windows PC. Ubuntu should see two partitions. And I expect a Mac should als...

I found that this beats any wallwart, stable, adjustable, plenty of power and cheap. If only we could get the postage down. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190685166112?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Ya that does look good. But anyone who breaks out in a cold sweat at the thought of w...

My guess, and it's just that, is that the power supply doesn't have enough juice to power the lan port on the pi, so it fails in a strange way, and kills your Internet connection. If there is a NATing router between the RPi and the ISP, I cannot imagine the WAN connection being killed by strange be...

The system don't give me a name for the sd (sdx). In which case the SD Card Association's formatter (https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/) may not work either. :( If you have a suitable digital camera, try formatting the card in that. If still no luck, I fear another SD card may be your on...

I had an identical looking hub bought through ebay UK which arrived before my RPi. I returned it before I got my RPi. The main reason was that the accompanying PSU was absolute rubbish. It couldn't maintain 5 volts at anything over a few hundred milliamps. Looking inside I was horrified at the elect...

Much more info needed. What installer, what is it running on and what is it trying to install would be a good start.

The posts in http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 28&t=20657 may indicate that some RPis are passing the factory test but would fail a soak test. However, without those boards being professionally examined it is not possible to come to a definite conclusion.

I used ImageWriter (IW) on ubuntu to write RISC OS on sd card (SunDisk Ultra) and all righit, the system worked well on Pi. Tried RISC, I wanted to put raspbian on the same sd, I did the same procedure, but IW give me an error, after this the sd card have the dimension of about 60mb. I tried every ...

I had the opportunity to connect the raspberry to a monitor through hdmi, keeping the rest of the configuration. It worked! noise/snow disappared. So obviously is related to the composite video cable. You may just have a duff/damaged composite video cable. Can you try another one? For testing it do...

If you unplug everything from the USB sockets, does it still do reboot loops? In theory you don't need to format a card before writing a new image to it. However some image writing programs appear to 'ignore' that theory. :) If yours does, try the official SD card formatter from https://www.sdcard.o...

Thanks for all the suggestions. It is sounding like the polyfuse is probably bad and heating it in an oven isn't going to help that. I'll give my adafruit power supply a shot once I receive it and if it doesn't help then I'll just return it. Your original post mentions that your RPi will work again...

When writing the SD using the Linux 'dd' command it is highly advisable to also use the 'sync' command after it, before removing the SD card.

drgeoff

@falk0069. I surmise that you are trying to measure the resistance of F3 while the RPi is powered up. You cannot use a multimeter to do that - any readings you take are completely meaningless. My guess is that there is a batch problem with the soldering and (one or more) of the connections of the So...

Have you tried using ssh from another computer to access the headless RPi? (PuTTY is a good ssh client if you are running MS Windows - http://www.putty.org/)
