This topic is about RS. Please don't make us jealous with your Farnell orders!

@ceptimus1, I'm the exact same situation. Ordered mine on the 14th at 10:50 GMT, got the PayPal receipt and nothing else. The order details said: "Despatch within 1 day". Also tried to get some status information for my order: Thank you for your enquiry. We are currently responding to all enquiries ...

For the round cable issue... you could try cutting the insulation between the wires and bring them together.

You might want to buy some spare cables just in case your blade slips

Here is the method applied to IDE (P-ATA) cables:

install postfix and configure it as standalone or as a relay to send emails.

TeamViewer for Linux is actually for Windows, running under Wine.
Don't bother installing on the R-Pi, it won't work.

Thanks Naren, the keyboard is working perfectly

Hexxeh has ported Chromium OS to Raspberry Pi

Had the same problems with the micro-USB connector for power and I can't blame the connectors because everything is brand new.
Mini-USB is much more common and also has better mechanical design.
Adding another connector for power and mounting holes are a must for the next version in my opinion.

Know what data I need to capture, the problem is how to do it. Tried with kdump and kexec, but can't load the kernel. I've never used these tools before and it is almost midnight. Living this for the weekend, there are some things to study. Another solution could be a serial console, but I don't hav...

@secretagent, I would gladly post it if I knew how to save everything to a file

Skype for Linux is not compiled for the ARM CPU in the Raspberry Pi so it won't run.
Also, the Raspberry Pi doesn't have audio input.

It actually is a DTI/8GB http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-DataTraveler-USB-Flash-Drive/dp/B0012X5766 And if I can format it on the Raspberry Pi I guess it gets the electricity needed to work. [edit] Just measured voltage between the two test points on the board and it is 4.80V with the USB drive conne...

Bought a USB keyboard just for the R-Pi.
My other keyboards are using the PS/2 interface. I love mechanical keyboards, using a Dell AT101W on my main computer.

I don't want to buy more keyboards, I already have 2 spares + this USB one.

Hope this bug will get fixed soon.

Best regards,
Alex

I also get a kernel panic when connecting a USB keyboard.
I have measured voltage between the two test points (TP1 and TP2) while the keyboard is connected and it is within the accepted range.
What could be the problem?

I've had the same problem a while ago using the first Debian image for Raspberry Pi.

Couldn't figure it out.

Bug confirmed.

alexandru.cucu

Something similar happened to me too.

Do you have a delivery date for your order? I am asking because I am from Romania too and heard many people saying that they know the shipping date. On my account there is no such thing.

alexandru.cucu

<t>Nobody said the Raspberry Pi Foundation will actually start selling the boards at 06:00 GMT on the 29th of February. The only thing we know is that they will announce something important. This could be that they start selling the board or something else like: "We have made 1 million bo...

Just stick with Debian, you won't notice too many differences.

The SD card image is already available so go for it

The only reason to use Ubuntu would be use the cloud computing capabilities it comes with or to get support from Canonical.

I've written the script a couple of months ago. I didn't make it public because I never wanted to encourage others.

I use a 5 minutes timer, but others could easily set it to a few seconds making things worse.
I posted mostly to tell that a 5 seconds delay could cause problems.

I have a script that monitors changes to the shop and opens the page in my browser if anything is detected

I''ve set it to run every 5 minutes, I don't want to DDoS the server
