There are three ways to install software for your Pi (might be more but these are the common ones): 1) Download the distribution image and "write" it to an SD card - needs to be downloaded from the internet and written using a different PC 2) Download the NOOBS zip file (not NOOBS-Lite), unzip it an...

Check out Berryboot - that is a multi OS system that supports installing to USB storage

I also just did "Open" and it works, now it says "login as"
And I typed in raspberry,
Then it said "password" or whatever
I typed in "pi" and it said access denied

Login as pi
Password is raspberry

I don't have access to that book, so I am not sure what you have tried. It would help if you could tell us how you are trying to show the position. Alternatively, do it again using the following tutorial from the Foundation. Find the Pi tutorial at https://www.raspberrypi.org/learning/getting-starte...

Something else posted above... supported and not supported scenarios and configurations. This attitude belongs to big companies. They have PAID staff doing the supporting, and the more they can limit the support calls the less they spend on that supporting role. They also need to make money on their...

I Googled... http://www.avc-shop.de/Raspberry-Pi-2-Modell-B From their Shipping and Payment Information page (I used Google Translate to read the age): Our shop in our company building in Berlin-Adlershof is open to all customers.

That article you linked to says # replace log management with busybox, So if you don't want log management, don't install it. That article also states (at the top) A work-in-progress scratchpad to get... It doesn't explain what and why. I have not read it too closely so I don't know how reliable it ...

While not trying to be negative, some of the key features about how this forum works have been mentioned. * We are generally dealing with people who don't even know enough to explain what has happened. I don't think that trying to introduce any sort of formal application for help has any chance of b...

I'm wondering if there are any good, beginner networking projects

Yes. What do you call a beginner networking project?

Try Google

- If you get stuck, just post back here

go to raspberrypi.org or to the link for RspberyyPi resources in the pull down menu Silly question, perhaps, but are you using the correct links? Raspberry Pi main site: https://www.raspberrypi.org/ Raspberry Pi resources: https://www.raspberrypi.org/resources/ Which browser are you using? Are you ...

No - don't use Windows to mess with that file. Use the single user mode for Linux by adding "init=/bin/sh" to the text in cmdline.txt in the small boot partition. You can use any other computer, even a Windows one, as it is on a FAT partition, and is a simple text file. See here for a discussion (so...

I'll just keep posting - you can catch up when you are ready....

It is a shame that the Amazon page does not give instructions. Try Googling for 8 x 16 LED matrix - Adafruit do a similar one (8 x 8) and have tutorials available. You probably need a few other components too (see Adafruit)

You will need a USB microphone, as the Pi does not have audio input. There are lots of tutorials to use to help you in your project. Try this 'official' one here for the webcam: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/webcams/ The Jessie version of Raspbian is the latest 'official' software,...

Yes, thank you for that. It clears up a lot (including the thought that it is time for an eye-check

)

I have looked at both lists of issues for raspi-config, and there might be a few that I can address. I might struggle with the GUI as I don't know that sort of coding. More in a bit...

+1. Assuming it's stuff I might understand ;) In reality, it is better if you don't understand it. New Pi owners won't, and experts will read something like "sodo command" and know subconciously that it means "sudo command". It is important, as suggested above, that when you check a RPF guide, that...

I have done a brief investigation into the raspi-config "tool / utility / program". I am a bit confused :) The repository at https://github.com/asb/raspi-config seems to be out of date, and suggests "Now maintained at https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspi-config". There are still 25 open issues there....

When someone posts that they have followed some instructions and that it does not work, one of my first questions (not always asked though) is which instructions these are. Someone writing a program usually has some level of skill, and should have at least got it to work on their system. The usual p...

I have a recent install of Jessie (November 2015). I just installed snort without any issues. It installed 33 packages (11.4 MB). I got a curses-style box asking for an IP address range, but I just accepted the default. It completed the install with no further messages apart from the usual install /...

When you say "not starting" how far does it get?

If we know at which point it stops we can advise what to do to fix it.

Do I assume that you don't want to just start again with a new install (you would lose everything on that card, but might be able to recover files)?

Navyscourge

For others... this is with Kali

For bigc5012 - have you tried with a different OS, such as Raspbian?

Navyscourge

If your card does not work you can overwrite everything by reinstalling. If you buy a card, the default OS Raspbian needs at least a 8MB card

It doesn't help when someone revives an old topic with "I have the same problem". It is even more unhelpful to revive one to add something to an old post that has already been resolved, even though your solution is slightly different. Don't let this put you off though, there are plently of current p...

Is it weird that both openelec and retropie use the same IP? The ip address belongs to the Pi, not the operating system. If you shutdown the Pi the router 'remembers' the ip address that the Pi has (how long for is a setting on the router). Starting up the Pi with a different system on a different ...

If you started the script on the command line, the script should stop if you hold down the Ctrl key and press C. If you stat it again and add a space and '&' at the end, you script will run in the background. It does depend on what that script is doing for how useful that might be
