Isn't there some way to enable a GUI window for managing networking in Jessie? Something like the "Network Connections" panel in Linux Mint. I need some GUI help in setting up a VPN client connection to a corporate LAN, but have not had any success yet.... Command line is all fine provided one gets ...

Thanks for your explanation!
It works for me too.

Now I will put this into my documentation file for future reference.

GREAT job xantor! I have been looking for this solution for about a week now since I first tried Jessie. A couple of questions regarding this: 1) The file to create Is it named: /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service Name includes @ and a period? 2) The vnc display number I have noticed that one ca...

PPTP VPN Client setup in Jessie? Asked before but never got a working system. Has anyone here managed to get a connection from Jessie to a corporate network using a PPTP VPN client? Tutorials on the net for Debian are no good because they refer to GUI tools that are simply non-existing in Raspbian ...

Please if there is someone who has gotten this to work on Jessie then I would be very grateful for a share in how it was done. I really need my new Pi2 to be able to connect a VPN channel to the company so that sources I work on can be version controlled in their server... I just need to figure out ...

SAMBA in Jessie? I am trying to set up samba in Jessie but I cannot make it work according to the webpages I have found to help me set it up. Please give advice on how it works under systemd on Jessie (installation, configuration, start, stop). I need the share to handle development source files. E...

Still having major problems with the Jessie start Menu... I had installed Lazarus the wrong way (as root) so I needed to rectify that. The advice from the Lazarus list was to: - Disable the erroneously installed version by renaming its directory in /usr/local/share - Check out a new source copy to t...

OK thanks,
let's see what happens the next time I install new GUI programs (after rebooting first)...

Just to complete the story... I traced the schematics now and it is pretty simple: The input control runs through a 1K resistor to the LED of an 817C opto-coupler. The output of the coupler directly drives the relay coil (there is a protection diode also). The relay coil is 70 ohms and supposed to b...

Bosse_B

OK, good to know!
I will move to another output, I tried GPIO14 (pin 8) which is the next one on the even numbered row but it was also high.
GPIO18 on pin 12 seems to work as expected though.
Is there a summary somewhere where one can see what the boot state of the pins are?

Bosse_B

Right now I am using GPIO3 on pin 5 to drive the test relay. I have checked a number of other outputs when I debugged the I/O driver, but I never rebooted before with teh relay board connected. Unfortunately I don't have any schematics for the board. Quite possibly it has a buffer transistor before ...

Bosse_B

I have been looking for an interface into my programming language for manipulating the GPIO pins and I have found a good solution. So I connected a relay board to the GPIO connector and all seemed to work well. However today I rebooted my Pi2 and it turned on the relays! So it seems like the Pi come...

/home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-Pi/autostart EMJB I detected a slight typo in your file name. It should be: /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart (Lowercase pi) Question: If I want to automatically start a vnc server and I have a shellscript /home/pi/vnc.sh that can do this, how can I includ...

Does one have to reboot the Pi in order for these changes to propagate? Simple enough to test so I did that. Turns out that also after a reboot Cervisia is still not displayed on the Menu even though it is shown as checked in the Menu Editor.... I had to open Main Menu Editor and then uncheck the C...

Bosse_B

https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspbian-jessie-is-here/ The other new setting dialog is the Main Menu Editor. Thanks, that was it, I think. However, when I open it Cervisia appears in the list of programming tools in the Menu Editor and yet it is not visible on the actual menu. Does one have to r...

I bought a 4-relay board designed for Arduino. Does not matter because it operates on 5VDC and GPIO control bits via an opto coupler in each channel.
Works just fine.

I have started a separate thread about the strange way the start Menu in Jessie behaves. Please check what is going on there. Newly installed GUI programs do not appear on the Menu until another GUI program is installed, which in its turn does not show up... Seems like there is an OBOB bug somewhere...

Bosse_B

Is this REALLY an unknown? Meanwhile I have installed another GUI program called Cervisia and it too does not find its way onto the start Menu. But amazingly roundabout when I installed Castalia Lazarus appeared in the Menu/Programming list!!! Seems like Jessie is one program behind in its display ...

I have found a web resource here: Using PPTP VPN on Raspberry Pi I have followed its description but I cannot connect anyway, the remote server rejects my connection.... When I use Win7 VPN using PPTP I am successfully logged on every time. So what is the difference between the Windows and Raspbian ...

Bosse_B

fyi Debian based Distros, like Mint, shown in the Youtube Video, use "network-manager & network-manager-gnome (maybe also network-manager-pptp-gnome)" to manage networks Raspbian LXDE-pi Desktop use by default "dhcpcd and dhcpcd-ui packages" Yes I know. In Linux Mint it was really simple as shown i...

Bosse_B

I think that you misunderstood me.... I need the Pi2 to connect as a client to a PPTP VPN server running on a company I work for so I can manage the embedded software development I am doing on the Pi2 itself. The source code needs to be managed through the Version Control system at this company (CVS...

How does one set up a PPTP VPN client in Raspbian Jessie? I know how to set up a PPT server in Wheezy but now I need to connect the Pi2B to our company VPN to reach the CVS server for source code management. In other Linux distros (on the PC platform) there was a network manager GUI where configura...

Bosse_B

That is not what I wanted... It is not the WiFi itself that should be disabled but a specific network. Say you are in a place with 4 different WiFi networks. You want to connect to a specific one so you select it and enter the passphrase. Now you find that this is not the one you intended so you wan...

Are you sure about the name of the conf file? I have neither a wep_supplicant dir nor an /etc/wep_supplicant/wepsupplicant.conf file... Did you create it all by yourself? I have the same info but inside the wpa_supplicant.conf file: network={ ssid="bossehemma" key_mgmt=NONE auth_alg=SHARED wep_key0=...

Bosse_B

The command to restart networking seems to have done what it should. The WiFi, which was disconnected before I issued that command connected again to the WPA network. :) I have still not been able to reach the WEP network even though I have tried both variations for the auth_alg setting (OPEN and SH...
