Re: [Hampshire] Raspberry Pi Questions
You might like to try the Pi Hut http://thepihut.com/ It appears to be a small startup but they have a wide range of accessories and do bundles. The only potential problem is that they are not VAT registered so you cant claim VAT if you are registered yourself. Roger On 04/02/13 20:13, Dr A. J.

I currently have an Ethernet switch under the TV, spare power and a CRT (composite TV input) though I do plan to replace it with a flat TV of some sorts eventually (HDMI input). It seems to make sense that a RPi Model B makes sense, it would be small, silent and fun - it appeals to my inner geek. I've a few questions: 1) Where is the best place to get one? Maplin or Farnell or RS? 2) What else does it need?

Thanks for the web site Roger. It looks a useful place to buy bits.

Re: [Hampshire] Raspberry Pi Questions
The useful thing is that it all works with the Pi. When I got mine from Farnell about 6 months ago the keyboard and the SD card that I had on the shelf didn't work and whilst looking for approved hardware found the Pi Hut. It is probably less of an issue now. Roger On 06/02/13 12:48, Clive Woodfine wrote: Thanks for the web site Roger. It looks a useful place to buy bits.

[Hampshire] ufw
Hi all In short - do I need to reboot to force ufw to apply any changes I've just made? I'm playing around with ufw on my Ubuntu box which is now my media server. I'm trying to get it to connect with my Netgear NeoTV underneath my tv but seemingly only disabling ufw entirely works. The Neo either refuses to see the box (and can't connect directly i.e. can't connect to anything it doesn't see) or sees the machine but then asks for a username and password (which aren't required to connect to the same samba share from Window$ boxes). What I need to know is does sudo ufw enable do everything I need after I've changed rules. It seems I need to reboot the Ubuntu machine and or the NeoTV each time. I'll worry about the Neo thing last but if should (for example) be restarting samba, restarting networking or restarting something else, it would be great to know - I've not seen anything to this extent on the web.

I.e. it is instantaneous and does not require either a reboot NOR re-activating using ufw enable or ufw disable; ufw enable. In short, if you're not manually editing the iptables but leaving everything to ufw, then you should not need to flush the rules via a reboot or iptables -F. I hope that helps :-) As to why the neotv isn't seeing the samba server - this may just be that you've omitted to allow one of the multitudinous (*insert rant here*) ports required for windows networks to operate. -- Daniel Llewellyn -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
Re: [Hampshire] Registering on the WordPress website
OK, I've opened up user registration on the WordPress site http://hantslug.org.uk Now all you have to do is click on the 'Register' link in the right-hand Admin section. Registration is protected by a 'captcha' thingy to (hopefully) keep out the bots. Then you'll have to check your email to get the initial password. You can also register via your Google, Yahoo, or WordPress.com id. (And hopefully Twitter later if I can get that bit to work.) Have fun! cheers Chris -- Chris Dennis cgden...@btinternet.com Fordingbridge, Hampshire, UK -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
