[1:06] <mattwj2002> is there anything similar to this?
[1:10] <ritual> anyone know of a service that will monitor my pi and alert me when/if it becomes unreachable?
[1:11] <NedScott> like just if it's offline?
[1:17] <ritual> I'm basically trying to monitor how frequently they occur. It's happening far too often to be acceptable.
[1:17] <ritual> nah, it doesn't unfortunately.
[1:19] <ritual> no wait, every hour. nevermind.
[1:22] <ritual> too bad. this is perfect.
[1:23] <ritual> oh you know what though? the pro version logs everything. which is good enough.
[1:23] <ritual> thanks mattwj2002 !!
[1:24] <ritual> yeah. I don't even need realtime alerts, I just need a record.
[1:24] <ritual> yeah I'm gonna need the paid version for the logging. but $6 isn't much compared to my alternatives.
[1:27] <ritual> mattwj2002: I don't need the 3g, the Pro version will log power up/down.
[1:28] <mattwj2002> where in the world are you?
[1:29] <ritual> there's a lot of construction in my area which I think is causing it, I just want to know how often it happens when we're not home.
[1:29] <ritual> so I can go to Hydro with the data and say hey look.
[1:39] <Reg_> i bought a Raspberry Pi 2 and trying to start using my laptop screen. As per few blogs and youtube videos, i came to know that the cmdline.txt file needs to be modified. however, i dont see that file.
[1:44] <NedScott> what are you trying to do?
[2:31] <Reg_> the SD card is supposed to have Noob. perhaps its corrupt?
[2:32] <Reg_> oh ok. so as per http://www.circuitbasics.com/raspberry-pi-basics-setup-without-monitor-keyboard-headless-mode/ do i need to download Raspian, format etc?
[2:34] <ritual> if not, imaging Raspbian onto the SD would work. Should be able to run setup via ssh.
[3:10] <ritual> so you want to put an OS on the SD card then?
[3:28] <Bogus8> I'm having problems with a C-Media USB audo "card"... the recordings with it are VERY low in volume. I've used alsamixer to make adjustments but I'm not getting anywhere. Any ideas?
[3:29] <Bogus8> It's a c119 card if that matters.
[4:17] <rektide> all the instructions i read compile the kernel from raspberry pi's linux tree. is there any reason i can't use upstream?
[4:19] <niston> Bogus8 trying to record from a microphone?
[4:21] <Bogus8> It has a picture of a microphone on the pink 1/8th inch jack... I know that doesn't mean much but it'expexpecting a mic.
[4:25] <Bogus8> niston: how might I go about activating this boost I wonder.
[4:25] <niston> is there no boost switch thing in alsamixer?
[4:29] <Bogus8> Maybe some sort of also config or update (pi is fully up to date as far as I know).
[5:23] <stevethesmith> hi ive forgotten my rpi password, and am trying to follow the steps here -> https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=20397 but once ive gotten to shell prompt, i have no write permissions. any ideas why?
[5:43] <cybr1d> no matter how many times i see someone being told to fsck, it always seems dirty.
[10:10] <blank4> can it freeze if you accidentally touches the pins or someting?
[10:11] <shiftplusone> If you shock it with static, all kinds of things can happen.
[10:12] <shiftplusone> I move my pi around all the time, but I don't go touching the pins, since the area I'm in builds up static a fair bit.
[10:17] <ThinkingofPython> I reckon it wouldn't do any real damage though right?
[10:20] <kubast2> Hey does dnsmasq can set trust-anchor= option in config file of dnsmasq[https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dnsmasq] ? I've tried in a seperate file[http://fossies.org/linux/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.conf.example 25 line conf-file=/etc/dnsmasq.trust-anchors.conf example of that file: https://github.com/ArchiDroid/dnsmasq/blob/master/trust-anchors.conf]. I want to turn on dnssec validation on my dns cache.
[10:35] <ThinkingofPython> Anything new with you?
[10:35] <shiftplusone> Nope... I just sleep and work... nothing new ever happens.
[10:36] <shiftplusone> nos09: modprobe configs ?
[10:37] <shiftplusone> make bcm2709_defconfig ?
[10:37] <nos09> what is that ?
[10:38] <shiftplusone> You're compiling your own kernel, right?
[10:38] <nos09> shiftplusone, thanks man.
[10:42] <ThinkingofPython> hmm shiftplusone but you enjoy your job, right?
[12:00] <AM> Anyone know the where the rasbian vulnerabilities mailing list is? I need to check if the SSH bug is patched yet.
[12:01] <shiftplusone> AM: what you do is check the debian security tracker, then check the version of the package you're running.
[12:01] <shiftplusone> Then you (probably) realise that it has been patched ages ago.
[12:57] <ldc> is there a text-only version of raspbian compatible with the B+?
[12:59] <shiftplusone> or minibian.... or a variety of other options.
[13:58] <mentazoom> t3chguy: Still here?
[14:01] <t3chguy> I'll take a look in a few minutes, alright?
[14:04] <shiftplusone> mentazoom: it doesn't make sense to use class 10 cards in a pi (it's not a camera). In fact, there are known issues with some of them.
[14:05] <mentazoom> shiftplusone: Which class should I use?
[14:05] <shiftplusone> 4 or 6 work fine, but it seems like you're overthinking it a little.
[14:07] <brasizza> my rpi has 8 pins in front of the video rca , what is that ?
[14:07] <shiftplusone> well, keep in mind that sd cards only store a statistical approximation of your data, so be prepared to lose it.
[14:08] <shiftplusone> that's why I think high performance and high capacity cards don't make sense... they're not reliable enough to justify the cost, imho.
[14:08] <mentazoom> Should I use USB flash drive?
[14:10] <shiftplusone> ozzzy_: you sure?
[14:11] <mentazoom> shiftplusone: Can I use this guide for USB flash drive if I want to use external HDD?
[14:11] <brasizza> what is it for ? i have 5 rpi with holes and one with the pins i think can be some old rev of b ?
[14:12] <shiftplusone> mentazoom: I don't know, I'm not going to watch a video.
[14:14] <shiftplusone> I think I've seen them in that case, but I'm not sure.
[14:20] <mentazoom> So how realible is SD compared to other drives?
[14:20] <ldc> does anyone know of a wireless chipset that works out of the box with a rpi?
[14:21] <shiftplusone> ldc: you could reinstall raspberrypi-bootloader package, which should downgrade it.
[14:26] <ldc> Reinstallation of raspberrypi-bootloader is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
[15:57] <Berg> you pi would float above the desk?
[15:58] <ldc> are new pi2 enclosures compatible with b+ ?
[16:06] <dagle> Hi, I have a problem with my old raspberry pi and that it doesn't detect the SD card if I don't push it downwards. People suggested that I should glue stuff to the SD-card to make it larger so that it works and it does for a while. Anybody else with this problem?
[16:06] <dagle> Also, a better solution would be helpful.
[17:13] <shiftplusone> gregor3005: does owncloud run any better on the pi 2?
[17:42] <gregor3005> the next step i plan for the rpi is a imap server (dovecot) to users can share internally mailfolders so i have quit the outlook365 account for my customer ;-) what will be better for the storage, usb harddisk or mounting a nfs share from a nas or it is irrelevant?
[18:14] <shiftplusone> Well, it's more of a bloated frontend for said service than the service itself.
[18:44] <Davespice> dagle: you still here?
[18:53] <dagle> Davespice: I'm here. Well, number 1 make life harder. The thing is that nothing looks damaged. The SD card is bent a little but nothing beyond normal.
[18:55] <dagle> I'm going to see what the store have as a return policy for it... I mean, I would say the design is broken. And yeah, they sold a kit with it and it started to behave badly after 2 weeks.
[18:56] <Bilby> Model A/B with a funky SD card slot?
[18:57] <t3chguy> oooh Davespice is actually from the Raspberry Foundation?
[18:57] <dagle> Well, until now I have been able to use it by gluing things to the SD card that pushes it down. Now that wont even work.
[18:59] <dagle> Bilby: It wasn't bought and returned.
[19:01] <dagle> Davespice: The question is how long that would last.
[19:04] <dagle> I just wonder how that would cost.
[19:23] <devslash> I have the Raspberry PI Model B with 1GB ram. what is the maximum storage size that it can accept ?
[19:28] <devslash> is anyone here ?
[19:31] <devslash> I have a 32GB card now..
[19:31] <devslash> so I'd like to up the capacity if I can..
[19:32] <TheLostAdmin> Personally, I prefer a smaller sd card with the boot and maybe root partitions (how I currently have it set-up) and using a USB stick for data. A different USB stick for swap (if I ever need swap). It cuts down on those catastrophic failures when flash is no longer writable.
[19:33] <TheLostAdmin> My 2B has a 16GB card and that is way overkill in my setup.
[19:35] <Encrypt> Do you know if another RPi is planned?
[19:35] <Encrypt> Because every time they say "it is the last one"
[19:37] <TheLostAdmin> I have not heard anything about a next Pi. the 2B is pretty solid design. The only reason I see to change it is when it's time for hardware changes.
[19:40] <TheLostAdmin> Encrypt: I've had mine for a few months now. It is worlds faster than the model 1.
[19:42] <devslash> does the PI 2 support Ubuntu ?
[19:43] <TheLostAdmin> I gave up running my own mail server ages ago. The services available are far too cost effective compared to admin time keeping things patched.
[19:45] <TheLostAdmin> t3chguy: what devslash pointed out. Plus, I would still need hardware. On the residential side, it's more expensive for me to get a static IP address from my ISP than it is to get a couple of mailboxes from my domain registrar and not have to deal with maintaining spam filters myself.
[19:46] <CoJaBo> Has anyone ever tried to make/connect a FLiR camera to a Pi?
[19:47] <CoJaBo> t3chguy: ..why would you use a free domain with "much traffic" lol?
[19:47] <t3chguy> Encrypt: how many daily views?
[19:49] <CoJaBo> There's a product for iphones (everythign ready to go, hardware and software) that has 8× the resolution and is HALF the cost of the bare sensor... wtf?
[19:53] <Bilby> Isn't the application fee $100,000 or something?
[19:53] <CoJaBo> Most major companies now have their own TLD; but why?
[19:54] <Bilby> If I make a million dollars as a company and my salary is $1000000.01, boom, lost money this year didn't we?
[20:01] <CoJaBo> mattrichardson: It costs twice as much, with an eighth the resolution, as the "ready-to-go" phone module; the value just isn't there..
[20:03] <CoJaBo> Is there anything else that's decent?
[20:05] <mattrichardson> Not that I know of. Does FLIR make the cell phone version you're talking about?
[20:10] <CoJaBo> mattrichardson: Made by "Seek"
[20:11] <mattrichardson> CoJaBo, Apocx Ah! OK.
[20:11] <mattrichardson> What are you looking to do with thermal imaging on RPi? I've been curious about it.
[20:12] <bhez> I got to play with a flir 640x480 camera not too long ago, really nice.
[20:13] <Apocx> "Detects intruders from nearly 1,800ft away"
[20:13] <mattrichardson> Got it. Good to know.
[20:31] <SyncYourDogmas> Apocx: machine learning sounds like a proper solution, or if thats overkill a movement threshhold?
[20:42] <SyncYourDogmas> Is this in python?
[20:56] <Apocx> the pi camera module?
[20:59] <SyncYourDogmas> A game camera?
[21:09] <TheLostAdmin> I've had one of those for years, Apocx. It's a button on the radio with the word "Scan" printed on it. Skips through all in-range stations until I tell it to stop.
[21:30] <Kamilion> what's gpio 44?
[21:30] <Apocx> you try unplugging it for a minute or two and plugging it back in?
[21:59] <k_j> what's the default pi password on raspbian?
[22:14] <Encrypt> Please press, for me.
[22:16] <ldc> "Took some time to get successful 0.1mm layer prints via gluestick and then... all for nothing. The power supply of this printer set the attic room on fire and burned/melted most of the hardware, tools, documents and utilities. NEVER trust any machine!! Result: Catastrophic failure"
[22:17] <ldc> are Model B+ at 19 eur a good price?
[22:20] <Apocx> o.O What is that from ldc?
[23:11] <ldc> are temps such a critical thing on rpi?
[23:11] <iron_manaf> I feel like they aren't unless you're doing some pretty high overclocking?
[23:36] <k_j> what is the foundation working on now? will be there any surprises after september?
[23:42] <ldc> sandisk ultra decent enough for rPI?
[23:48] <t3chguy> especially on Ubuntu Mate, quite a graphically heavy Desktop Environment thats way too little, right?
