If you're trying to ssh in as root, later versions of raspbian need tweaking to allow this.

edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file

theres a line that reads :

Code: Select all

PermitRootLogin without-password

change it to :

Code: Select all

PermitRootLogin yes

You'll need to do it locally or in another machine.

You will have a lot more success with bare DS18B20's like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-PCS-DALLAS-DS18B20-TO-92-Digital-Temperature-Sensor-TESTED-UK-Arduino-/181739136511?hash=item2a507f25ff:g:ZSsAAOSwYmZXFIW5 than the encapsulated type like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DS18B20-18B20-1-WIRE-Di...

Connect the Pi to the router instead of the other computer and it will probably just work.

Look on the bright side, out in the real world, Firefox have disabled Flash by default. It will stay that way until Adobe have patched the exploits currently being used with it or they kill it off altogether. It gives the security of no flash but allows it to be enabled for sites you reckon aren't g...

Bash script to strip a lot of the dross (x stuff included) out of standard Raspbian. Its what I use on all my servers. #!/bin/bash # Stephen's Raspberry Pi Mimimalist install from standard Raspdian Image apt-get update apt-get purge xserver* -y apt-get purge ^x11 -y apt-get purge ^libx -y apt-get pu...

Two comments: I don't understand why anybody continues to use or recommend any of the FooBaz Electronics, Ltd. "HDMI to VGA converters" when Gert's "666" version exists. As far as I can tell, Gert's board is cheaper, better (more effective) and much more reliable (i.e., actually...

It begs the the question, what happens if you use a mainstream operating system (Raspbian) rather than obscure stuff from the far flung corners of the internet ?

echo $datte $temmp $light $temphum|ssh root@192.168.1.254 "cat >> /root/raspauptemps" A line from one of the shell scripts running on one of my Pis Appends the values stored in $datte $temmp etc in a file (/root/raspauptemps) on a remote pi (192.168.1.254) no extra software required over ...

HDMI is pretty much DVI with sound anyway. There's no problem from what I can see.

It isn't much simpler, it only changes 1 small aspect of the whole process. You still need to set up lighttpd to serve multiple, sites and you still need the tokens and hostnames from duckdns setting up. It just takes dougies extra service out of it and you get the Pi to do the updating of the multi...

Have you tried Class 4? , Class 10 is generally regarded as a waste of time when you're running an OS from it in any case. I'd be tearing my hair out if mine corrupted 3 times a year.

pluggy

If you're connecting a Pi to a Ubuntu server, why not just connect it to the same network and use SSH ?

pluggy

I'm confused as to what benefit dns-o-matic gives you if you have multiple domains pointing to the same IP. In my world it would be 1 bash script with 1 line per domain in it and it updates them all with one pass of the script.... It probably a lot quicker to do than signing up to another service (a...

I suffered having to maintain a load of old Surface tablets, I got fed up of trying to explain why they wouldn't run **insert name of windows application here** to non technical users. It took M$ a while but even they eventually caught on and buried it.

What class cards as a matter of interest ? I use 8GB Sandisk class 4 and the only time I got one corrupted was with a power brownout. They even used to suffer regular 'unscheduled' shutdowns (my old toaster used to trip the RCD on a regular basis, my new toaster doesn't).

pluggy

Forget it, you'll never get anything Flash to work properly on a Pi. Gnash is rubbish.

pluggy

I'd suspect the majority of Sandisk Ultra 128GB cards are fake....

The biggest uSD Sandisk cards my supplier stocks are 64 GB and they make gold look cheap.

Small class 4 cards aren't worth the bother of faking.

Things that measure temperature can't use much current, all the electrical power is converted to heat which is a tad conter-productive in a thermometer. It may peak at 2.5 mA,but it will probably use a lot less than that most of the time. A gpio pin will happliy feed that amount of current, but most...

Its becoming an ever increasing problem that there are incompatibilities with some chipsets and drivers with some wifi access points. This is not just a Pi problem, it effects all sort of different stuff. I've had several Windows 8.1 laptops that steadfastly refuse to connect to a customers Wifi, bu...

The Pi would have been a success without the hypothetical price figure. I wonder how many disgruntled Pi 2 owners there are that have discovered that **gasp** it doesn't actually run Windows 10......

pluggy

OK, I'll stick at 'I don't like it'. It wasn't a very good idea to publish a somewhat hypothetical price exclusive of local taxes, exchange rates and delivery. 'Cheap' would have cut it. Its right up there with 'The Pi2 will run Windows 10' in the 'things to say that will forever come back to haunt ...

pluggy

I wouldn't have thought ipconfig on the laptop would tell you the IP address of anything other than the laptop. Is this the bl**dy stupid 'connect the Pi as an appendage to the laptop' thing ? Whoever dreamed that kludge up wants hanging by the thumbs. Connect the Pi to the router and make it a real...

pluggy

Still no reason for the end price to be in dollars. Are the workers at the Sony factory paid in dollars too ? Has Welsh devolution degenerated to that ?

pluggy

No, one failure in 3 years with 8 Pis. Its over 3 years since I only had one of 'em. The one hooked up to the internet is one of 3 I have running continuallly.
