![]() I believe the root account is disabled under debian. log in with your user account (normally user: pi, password: raspberry) Other people have fixed this by moving or deleting. I am far from an expert an am not sure how to replicate this myself, but other users on other systems I found google-ing had similar errors after updating/installing software. Perhaps the quickest way to solve it if the problem persists, is to re-flash the SD-card, if the problem returns there is something fishy going on indeed. ![]() Obviously this should not happen, and it is very strange it has. I assume that you will need step for step instructions for whatever is needed for you to do, that is, after the experts have figured out what might have happened. I assume that Steady_Bears comments were for other readers that were thinking about this problem, not specifically for you. I read that the chromium browser also works, not sure if that one does flash, but I heard its a better browser than the one included now. Though I have to say even on a fast computer it was a bit of a struggle, perhaps they have something to learn, its very early days yet, and this is all experimental. PDF version of the magazine you can download, and that one you should be able to open. Yes, that is because the current browser doesn't support flash, but there is also a. Got the internet working (I couldn't read the MagPi on the RPi). ![]() Or even better an experienced Linux guru with a PI may ask if he can lend the card from this user to look at what has happened, and if its reproducable. Perhaps an experienced user should try to re-create this problem, to see what caused it, and what can be done in three easy to follow steps to solve it, or better yet, solve the bug that allows this to happen. What has he to rename and to what, where is the file to rename, and how does he "get" there (you know using CD etc).Īt this point, not knowing what caused this, I would have to say, there is no immediate solution for him, other than just reflashing his card and trying again, for lack of an easier solution, or has someone a really bright idea? Perhaps with very precise step for step instructions. Yes, you can try to guide him through debugging the problem, but not with the casual "to rename a file use mv old.name new.name". So place yourself in his shoes, what could he have done that resulted in this problem, and what can he do to solve it without -any- knowledge about the subject. I propose you should assume its out of the question that a complete new Linux user with no previous knowledge other than that "startx" starts the gui, goes on to start the gui with "xinit /usr/bin/lxsession", nor is it reasonable to assume he knows how to rename a file, do a "cat", or "ls", or god forbid read and interpret a logfile.Ĭome on guys this is an absolute beginner and you are asking things from him as if he is a somewhat experienced Linux user. What could he possibly have done to get his. Will start the more familiar GUI, and assuming like he said that it worked for one day, and that the next day it didn't work anymore. Ironic!Īssuming this is a brand new R-PI (and Linux) user who, as he tells us, knows nothing about linux than that typing *Firefox is claiming I've spelt patronising (and for the record spelt) wrong. 'ls' (el-es, not eye-es) to mooch about the file system, and hit TAB (or double tab if nothing seems to happen at first) for command-name / filename auto-completion. Some software, including window managers, sit and do nothing):Īlso, X (I'd also assume LXDE - never played with that either) has a very good log file under /var/logĬat, or less, or more should give various ways of reading the file. Making sure there is sufficient space left on the device is important (it's tripped me at times when not paying attention. Don't even know what the default login is at boot (I'd assume root, but I think someone somewhere suggested otherwise): 'whoami' answers this for a point of curiosity. There is also a rename command, but if I remember rightly, it's a little more advanced on a Debian box.
