You'll run into the least trouble if you use a form of FAT (be it FAT16, FAT32, or exFAT) or ext2/ext4. You can mount in theory HFS/HFS+ (standard Mac format) or NTFS (Windows) but I'm not sure if the modules are activated in the kernel.

Well one way to do it is have the Pi externally accessible. (i.e. it's a server- have it plugged into Ethernet and have its router forward port 22 for SFTP/SSH to it -- with the SSH server on and the external port open, you can log in with access to either command line or transfer files-I suppose yo...

If you want to build the screen into something you could try this (12V powered): http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-TFT-INNOLUX-AT070TN92-50-Pin-LCD-Screen-Panel-DVI-Controller-TCON-Board-LVDS-/271027605993?_trksid=p4340.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D1227371861974...

Do you have a DE installed?

in /boot/config.txt

1. Plug in the flash drive
2. Wait 10 seconds
3. Run the command

Code: Select all

dmesg | tail

4. Post output to this thread

That | is a vertical line btw

Assuming you set your adapter up correctly, try using the Wicd-Gtk tool to set up your network through a gui. Simply type the command "sudo apt-get install wicd-gtk" And after a reboot, when typing startx to get into the gui, you should see a little wicd network icon in the bottom right hand corner...

As far as HDMI goes I'm a complete newbie, so I'm likely to get lost in the jargon easily ! I have two LCD HDMI TVs, one a 19" Toshiba and a 32" Akura. I'm using Raspbian on a 16GB Class 10 SD card. The Akura does the video but ignores the sound. The Toshiba says "HDMI not available" but after twea...

I got a couple of questions about this Pi. First being, when is GPU-level rendering expected for X11? and also, what GPU does the Pi have? My model is the one with the Samsung chip. 1. Accelerated X11: Not for a while, only a handful of people have the know-how, and they're busy tackling other Foun...

I believe you would have to convert them to H.264 or Xvid first.

You could also alternatively put the script in the folder /etc/init.d , although this may not work as not all other services will have started yet. You could also turn on auto login and put the command in /etc/profile . (/etc/profile instructions here http://elinux.org/RPi_Debian_Auto_Login, change ...

Thanks!

Most portable DVD players output jack can also be used as an Input jack.

Why doesn't your reset button shut the Raspberry Pi down properly? The reset button I made it a simple momentary disconnect that I put in-line with the PSU. When I hit it, it disrupts the power and resets the device. Nothing fancy there :-) I think Alex is saying "couldn't that corrupt your files?"...

Try Ctrl-Alt-F1 then Control-C. That should kill (actually just stop) the X server (if you ran startx from tty1). If you don't actually need X stopped, but just need a pure terminal instead of a GUI-based one, then you can just go to a new virtual console (tty1 and tty2 already occupied if X is run...

where did you get it from? (site / link) It shouldn't do this (doesn't do this). One of the good things about win32diskimager is that it is a standalone .exe with no install and no other third party rubbish - I suspect you've clicked on something else by accident. Very annoyingly, whoever maintains...

1. Sometimes upon inserting in slot, the tab can pushed to the read only position. Trust me, it happens.
Post the output of

Code: Select all

dmesg | tail

after inserting card. It's probably not this, but check.
2. You need to be root or use sudo

Thanks!

As we all know, the forums here are full of smart people.

So...
Why does Roku HD have the same specs as Roku LT but cost $10 more? http://www.roku.com/roku-products#3
I'm sure it's bleedingly obvious, but I can't figure it out.

JeremyF

You posted this in the Wanted section (that is, not the Suggestions section) so I suppose you want this board designed? Or is this just a misplaced topic...?

(Modified the instructions from here)

But instead of putting "startx" in /etc/profile , just put the command for starting no-ip.

You don't need to buy a pre-made wireless bridge; a DD-WRT compatible router will do the exactly the same thing when properly configured. now that's a goddamn precious piece of info, thank you very much, i'll get to research it immediately! is it very hard to configure a dd-wrt router? is it easily...

The closest thing is this addon for XBMC: http://code.google.com/p/bluecop-xbmc-r ... eo.nba.zip
