I finally got my christmas rasberry pi up and running. I had to redo the power grid to my room to properly support all the things I have plugged in upstairs. I live in a 100 year old farm house so now my room has as many outlets as the entire upstairs. Plus I had a few other issues that slowed me down in getting it done until now.<\/p>\n
Here’s a couple of notes I took while working on this project.<\/p>\n
Have to have an HDMI monitor with noobs. Also keyboard and mouse.<\/p>\n
If you’re using NOOBS Lite, you’ll need to have a wired connection. For reasons (100 year old farm house), I needed to share the wireless across the wired connection of my laptop. I run KDE fedora linux and this guide talks setting up sharing wireless to a wired connection via KNetwork: https:\/\/bbs.archlinux.org\/viewtopic.php?id=126285<\/a>.<\/p>\n Use gparted to format SDCard. FAT32 is alright. Unzip with I chose arch linux because its small (so less download time on my very slow internet connection and i presume updated more then pidora (which is based on fedoraredhat and a distro I am more familiar with.)<\/p>\n after it says 100% you need to let it sit awhile or you will bork the install<\/p>\n Reboot into your fresh pi install. Run At this point you can either do the following configuration while connected on the tv or over ssh.<\/p>\n You can check your router for the IP address, or you can nmap scan. Either way, ssh to it and use root\/root for login and password.<\/p>\n Enabling onboot wireless: Something like this is what you need after editing \/etc\/netctl\/wlan0<\/em>.<\/p>\n change the hostname by editing Change the root password. You’re internet facing now.<\/p>\n Time to reboot and enjoy your pi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I finally got my christmas rasberry pi up and running.
