Weird... Ill give that a try.Good to know Im not entirly alone and perhaps this accounts for some of my past problems. Hopefully so cus I really need these raspberries to work out, else Ill have to switch over to something like the Intel Compute Stick for my needs.
I have a fresh install of Raspbian (7.8) on a Pi2. My issue is when I go to the desktop GUI, the taskbar on the top of the screen keeps flickering in and out. The trash bin is moving up and down so it appears as though the taskbar is popping in and out itself. I left it there thinking maybe it was j...
Im not sure how best to explain this, so stick with me. I have a Raspberry 2 running Raspbian, updated with the new GUI and whatnot. All seems good with it initially, I can do whatever it is I need to do, but after a time, usually a day or two, the system becomes unresponsive. I can't SSH to it for ...
Actually, I am told that some (high-end, read: expensive) laptops these days do have HDMI *input* - and can thus be used as a monitor for the Pi. Maybe the OP has one of these…? But, to get back to topic, there have been about 7,873,128 threads on these forums about how to setup and run a Pi entire...
Keep it simple. I was wondering if a raspberry could run DBase. At my work, we still use DBase, and Im having some unrelated issues with getting Windows XP to not crash with some USB hubs, and if I could somehow get a Raspberry to be able to run DBase, it would save me from a HUGE headache. I know D...
So im looking for information on the Pi's ability to output 4K. However, I'm not looking to do video playback or anything like that. They are purely displaying web pages that refresh every 5 minutes. I am looking into 4K in an attempt to get more information on screen. I'm using RPi Model B (Not B+)...
I am trying to up the security on my raspberries, and one thing that I came across were the allow and deny hosts files. Ive played with them a little bit, but for the life of me, I cant seem to get exactly what I want. Basically I want to limit any and all connections to the raspberry, except for 2 ...
Get a VGA to DVI adapter and connect your monitor to your PC with a VGA cable. Also note that you can't connect both the raspberry and your PC to the same monitor and switch back and forth, otherwise KBM switches would not be necessary. So you can just plug in the Pi when you need. Or using some rem...
I use a powered USB3 hub to power 2 Pis, since USB3 standard called for 1000mA output. The Pis are hooked to TVs, complete with the fixings of network cables and a USB keyboard/mouse. They have worked flawlessly for over 2 months so far.
Some things you could do. Disable root login through SSH Make your password long and complex so a brute force would be pointless. There's probably not a lot someone could do if they managed to hack in to your Pi, unless you have it connected to something like a nas or have it linked to another compu...
Adding >/dev/null 2>&1 after $idest should suppress your error messages. Just out of curiosity why are you copying files one by one would it hurt to use wild cards i.e. cp /var/www/* $idest or use cp -a -r for recursive file / folder copying with preserved attributes?? Richard S. Because my mind is...
Ive made a simple script to back up specific files for my projects, but in one of my iterations of the script where I use an array, I get an annoying error message. The error I get is as follows: cp: omitting directory `/var/www/' Please note that my script may not be the best way to do this. Please...
There are wireless mouse/keyboard combos for cheap, and only need 1 USB port. A WiFi dongle also uses only 1 port. Assuming you have a Mobel B, you would be just fine there, assuming your power supply can provide enough to run them. A 5V 1A power source is usually enough.
