Dec 17, 2018 - Sep 19, 2012 - Watch encrypted DVD on Raspberry Pi by streaming to omxplayer. Then install mplayer, which handles the decryption. Install Raspberry Pi. To install MediaPlayer. If you don't already have Java installed you will need to Install Java. Once you have Java installed you can start the installation. Install either MPD or MPlayer, if you already know which player you are going to use you don't need to install both, just the one you want to use.

It seems like I use my just often enough to forget everything about how I set it up the previous time. Unlike an Arduino, it’s possible all sorts of new configuration updating will need to take place if it’s sat for a few months. This post will serve mainly a notepad to myself on what I need to do to get it up and running again, and info on how to do fresh installs. I’m sure this all can vary widely from user to user and Pi to Pi.

Download picture style kevin wang and husband. Great Linux/Unix command-line cheat-sheet:,. First Time Setup Guides Just in case you do need to do everything from scratch: •: Super simple quickstart pdf, mainly just covers sd card formatting & NOOBS download.

•: “How to start using you Raspberry Pi” from the forums. •: Engadget overview The overall gist is: • Format SD • Download Linux distro and install on card • Most recently, I used (looks like Mac only): It does both the format and install. • Look for other solutions.

• Once the pi is up and running, via the settings menu: (run > raspi-config to get there from the commandline) • Expand the root partition: This is only needed for older distro installs. If you’re using NOOBS, it should be auto-expanded. • Set screen overscan (if wanted) • Configure keyboard • Change password (if wanted) • Set locale, timezone • Enable ssh & boot behavior • Optionally you can then try to make a new user, but I’ve not found a need yet. And when I do it, I tend to screw it all up permission-wise. • Install VNC (so you access the Pi’s gui remotely) Linux Distros I’m the last person you want to ask about which distro to use, but the two main one’s I have used are Raseberian, and Occidentalis. Rasberian is now installed as part of NOOBS, and it’s a much easier install than in the past.

•: From the page: “We recommend that first-time Pi users start by downloading and installing our New Out of Box Software (NOOBS) onto a 4GB (or larger) SD card. On first boot, this presents you with a choice of operating systems to install, including Raspbian, Pidora and two flavours of XBMC.

Once you have installed an operating system, you can return to the NOOBS interface by holding down shift during boot; this allows you to switch to a different operating system, or overwrite a corrupted card with a fresh install of the current one.” •: From the page: “Our distro is based on “Wheezy” but comes with hardware SPI, I2C, one wire, and WiFi support for our wifi adapters. It also has some things to make overall hacking easier such sshd on startup (with key generation on first boot) and Bonjour (so you can simply ssh raspberrypi.local from any computer on the local network)” Get into the Pi It’s been a while, how do I do that? I forgot where my surplus usb keyboard is & the wifey is using the spare hdmi cable (To do a first-time setup of SSH & VNC, see the post, ““) First, SSH: This will let external machines talk to the Pi. The primary way I interact with the Pi.

Connect the pi to the network (I use cat5). There’s a good chance the dynamic ip has changed. From another computer, access the router and click on the ‘DHCP Client List’ to find the new ip of the Pi. Or, if you have the Pi plugged into a monitor keyboard, you can enter the below command, and look for the “inet addr” $ sudo ifconfig Open a shell. Ssh into the Pi: $ ssh -l Enter password.

Hopefully it lets you in This can fail though on a new install. I get this on my mac: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!

@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY! Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)! If this happens, lower down in the error it will have this line: The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is And right below that, is an address. Copy that address, browse (on the mac) here: /Users//.ssh/known_hosts Edit that file (known_hosts), and find the section starting with the local ip of your pi. At the end of that section, add a ‘+’, then paste in the address copied above. When you try to re-ssh back in, it will ask you if you want to add this new host, and say “yes”. Enter the password, and you should be good!
