@Jivings: Nothing wrong with self-nomination, but the combination reminds me of some spammers in the early days of SO who would ask a question and immediately answer their own question with a recommendation for their company's product.
@finnw That post is to show SE who is interested, and a rough idea of how the community trusts you to be a mod. SE does not choose based on the top three voted people, etc. They may not even choose someone from the list.
I see there are no 3rd-party nominations. I'm not sure why not (if I wanted to be a pro-tem mod I would rather have someone else nominate me than nominate myself)
Is there a step by step for using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with RasPi? Or SSH?
I've seen the forum posts regarding using BT, and they are not complete enough for someone like me, who is very new to Linux. They seem to assume some (apparently basic) knowledge I don't have (or I'm missing so...
> An input device is any device that provides input to a computer (mice and keyboards are the most common). However the Raspberry's GPIO pins, I²C and SPI bus allow for many more types of input devices, including buttons, touchscreens, cameras, magnetic infrared and RFID sensors, etc.
While tagging questions, it appears that there are both singular and plural tags for plenty of terms as stated in this question. Assuming that there is no semantic difference between the singular and plural state of the tag, which one should we prefer? The one which was used more or the one which...
I would like to hookup a GPS receiver to my Pi so that I can:
Get my geographical position
Synchronise clock when not connected to network
What are my options? Will any hardware supported by gpsd work with the Pi?
My Raspberry Pi is running the default Debian image and has SSH enabled. I log into my Pi as follows:
ssh pi@<IP-address-of-my-Pi>
I have to enter my password every time. Can I somehow make my Pi accept log ins from my local machine? I am running Fedora Linux.
it could be but it falls in that category of would someone new to a pi ask this if yes then I feel it is ok or needs to be migrated rather than just killed.
I generated a key and copied it to my target:
ssh-keygen
ssh-copy-id username@hostname
I left the the location of the key as default and did not set any passphrase.
For a small while after that, I was able to ssh username@hostname without being prompted for a password, and then it stopped wor...
@SteveRobillard: As I said, I'm happy to follow a chain of up to 3 links, as long as the links are still live and lead to the answer (which is usually true of SE sites)
I issued ssh username@db2workgoup -n "echocat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub>> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" and then checked that the key was stored in authorized_keys file. But ssh is still asking for the password. I used the same for other servers within our company without any troubles.
Someone can help...
Currently, we don't have a centralized set of rules or general rule that we can refer to if a question is off-topic or not. While we do have the proposed FAQ, not a lot of people link to it or use it when discussing why a question is on- or off-topic. Which is why I'm proposing that we have a sit...
I doubt that being as specific to the Raspberry Pi as you, @dunsmoreb suggest would be a good idea. After all many questions that come up when working with a Pi are at their core Linux/Unix/Debian or programming specific and should therefore be answered at different stackexchanges. But on the other hand: Why not tell all those stories from a Pi perspective, as long as someone is willing to do so? In my case the question might have been 1% Pi and 99 % SSH, but that 1% might still help someone.
