Registered 10 years agoWow, really? I must have been one of the last to get a 'quick' delivery!
Mine arrived about 2 weeks after confirming my order.
Work colleague has just confirmed that his order put in today is also saying approx 12 weeks for delivery too. Blimey.

Registered 7 years agoMine arrived a few days ago, I ordered it about a month before. I've been making a wooden case, it's not amazing but it should do the job and feels a little more in-keeping with the spirit of the thing.Please don't use the delete button, think of the children.

Registered 10 years agoCiggy Packets are spot on as are the boxes of 'baccy like Amber Leaf etc.
Altoids tins are just too small much to my disappointment
Whatever fits, go for it! I've seen some crazy cases out there.This signature intentionally left blank.

Registered 11 years agoThe plastic boxes you sometimes get business cards in are the correct size. You just need to trim some of the height off the box lid and base and cut your cable holes. -

Registered 7 years agoThe instructions were written in Linux geek.
I have no problem using the command line, but there seems an odd thing with Linux help pages where they can't just tell you how to do x, they have to cover every tangentially related area until you end up totally pissed off with them.
I'll have another go at the weekend, I'll set the laptop up next to it which should make things easier. -

Registered 8 years agoWhat flavour linux runs on the Pi? I though it was ubuntu, that normally has quite intuitive GUI front-ends for changing settings etc.
Get the netwrork configuring tool thingy and find the network adapter, change it's settings and find the bit that covers IPv4 or TCP/IP. Set the IP address of your PI to be something compatible your network (probably something like 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.0.2 should work, depending on your network) and set things like DNS server and gateway to be the IP address of your router (192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1,again depending on what your network is set to do).
That might work.Thanks for expressing interest in my signature!

Registered 7 years agoIts an optimised version of Debian. Although it has a GUI, its a bit light on Control Panel type windows.
Thanks. Will have another pop at configuring it at the weekend.
Its strange really, my router is a Linksys WRT54, its been rock solid and never had a problem with anything I've thrown at it except for the Pi.

Registered 8 years agoLinksys have IP ranges in 192.168.1.x
Arseholes, I hope it isn't your router. I have a linksys one that is similarly great at coping with all kinds of nonsense. Hope I don't get problems when the Pi I have on order arrives. Have had Linux of various flavours working quite happily with it over the years (including debian) so it really is odd it should be causing problems.
Maybe this is the excuse I need to buy a draytek router.....Thanks for expressing interest in my signature!

Registered 7 years ago@Ginger Cheers, so far I've spent a lot more time on the case than the Pi...
I'm thinking of putting Raspian on mine instead of Debian. Also someone's got Chromium running on Raspian which I wouldn't mind trying out.

Registered 8 years agoSo today, I sat down with my Pi. It now does this:
Acts as a printer server using CUPS so I can print from my laptop without arsing about turning the desktop on.
Hosts all my mp3s for my Sonos devices.
Hosts a backup of all my files automatically via goodsync and SSH on a networked drive. Also keeps my documents sync'd between my PCs.
Not bad for 30 quid. Still no case tho....Thanks for expressing interest in my signature!

I know they are constantly trying to improve it but I wish they would be less hasty. We've been stuck in a few annoying upgrade loops.Playing all the right notes— but not necessarily in the right order.

It's time she started getting used to sleeping on her own occasionally, but her room is at the opposite end of the house to where we tend to hang out and the audio monitors don't seem to carry the distance. I figure this way I can check over wifi on my phone via Skype.

Registered 8 years agoMine is now in a drawer doing nothing. Turns out CUPS (or specifically the proprietary plugins for HP printers for CUPS) is borked under Debian Wheezy, so I've gone back to using the stable release for a printer driver. Squeeze is unsupported on the Pi, so I've got an old netbook doing to job. As it's doing that, there's no reason it can't do the other jobs I was using the Pi for. Hey-ho.
Guess I could try archlinux, but cba with learning another distro, and it sounds like *such* hard work.Thanks for expressing interest in my signature!

For those of you using your Pi to run XBMC, how exactly do you control/navigate? Does XBMC Commander for the iPhone/iPad support connections to the Pi version?
