SSH is secure. If you want to do FTP type things over SSH you can use SFTP. (it's the same service)

A Windows SFTP client is WinSCP (http://winscp.net, settings: port 22, protocol SFTP)

You can say it however you want-- one of the beauties of Linux.
There's only one way to say Windows however, and only two ways to say Mac OS X.

Just one of the numerous benefits you get when you go against the man.

We're going to be releasing a camera board, which will deal with composite input. My hope is that we'll be ready to go before Christmas - but you know how these things work, so it's perfectly possible that we won't be ready before February-ish. We're doing our best, though! Composite input on the c...

I would definitely try grounding your Pi, since the Pi has no other ground besides an HDMI monitor, which you don't have.

According to FAQ, there is an offline version, the question is of course if it still uses Flash (why they abandoned Squeak, I have no idea--but they've been working on this for more than 2 and a half years, so it better be good)

Windows 8 RT nunca va a funcionar en Raspberry Pi.

Raspberry Pi usa ARM v6, y Windows 8 RT usa ARM v7.

I can say with great certainty that the maximum resolution of any of these screens is 640x480, for some it may be less.

No, that is a passive cable; it will not work.

JeremyF

Certainly the 512MB model!

Twice the memory, so it will be a bit peppier. Costs the same, ships in the same amount of time if you buy from the official suppliers.

Your mileage may vary, but if you find a version 3.0 SDXC card, it will work with SDHC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#SDXC

JeremyF

Firstoff, I think you mean giga bytes (GB are 1048576 KB, MB are 1024 KB). SD card sizes generally range from 256MB to 64GB (although they do manufacture 128GB and 256GB cards). If you wish to install the OS directly on the SD card, it must be generally 2GB or more (but 2GB fills up fast). If you wi...

tty is a separate instance and is a raw terminal, but generally Ctrl-Alt-T in Ubuntu opens a terminal emulator within the X server (the GUI, that is)

The Pi cannot run iTunes.

ivangrid wrote:Deard, does RPi support resolution of 2560x1440? Works?

We definitely support 1920x1440 (4:3), 2560x1600 (16:10), and 2048x1152 (16:9). Not sure about 2560x1440 though.

According to netstat, it looks like only the ports for SSH and X11 are open. How did you go about attempting to open the port for your webserver?

JeremyF

It's also worth a try to add
config_hdmi_boost=7 to config.txt (put SD card in Windows machine, make file called config.txt, contents of file should be config_hdmi_boost=7)

JeremyF

Wireless bridge is by far the best answer (find a secondhand router for free-$5, install DD-WRT, change a few settings, done)

JeremyF

You don't format it to anything; when you write the image it will make the partitions in the correct format.

If you're interested in knowing anyway, I believe the boot partition can be either FAT16 or FAT32 (not 100% sure though) and generally the Linux partition is in ext4.

Also, I forgot to add, if you are going to try doing "normal desktop use", then you should use Openbox, not LXDE. Openbox comes pre-installed as well, just start it with

Code: Select all

xinit /usr/bin/openbox-session

I actually use my Pi often to do mundane things like go on Facebook (mobile version) and email. It's fairly livable. Haven't tried word processing yet. It also makes a very fast thin client, surprisingly (connected to a really slow Windows XP box, both over 54mbps 802.11g) (but maybe that's just bec...

The most correct way I've found to start Openbox on RPi in my experience is

Code: Select all

xinit /usr/bin/openbox-session

I looked around for you, but I could only find 100mm mounts...are you sure your holes are 200mm apart?
