Just bought a Raspberry pi

[EskiBrew]

I typed this:

>apt-get install git

will give it a try without the arrow in a bit and then with sudo if without the arrow still fails :) - not used to all this typing lark any more....

definitely no arrow :nono:
That is used there to indicate the command prompt :thumb:

Thought it would be interesting to take a look - it's ahem - interesting...

The bales were talking a continued time to amount so I had to accomplish a lot of my accession on the adversary instead.

From page 65 :lol:

OK, turns out helps if you log in as root....

Having issues getting dillo or midori connecting to the internet though

It's not generally wise to log in as root :nah:

That is the point of the "sudo" part that I posted above - you log in a user=pi then when you need to do something that requires root access, you simply prefix the command with sudo and it will be executed as if root had executed it.

K, didnt know that. Thanks.

Got another issue now :-(

My pi is telling me it has an ip address and after logging in i can ping my router but when i go into tthe gui i cant ping my router in the console. Any idea what i am doing wrong?

Going in to the GUI

Can you try sudo in front of your ping command and see what happens.
Also do
sudo ifconfig
and post response :thumb:

 

[BrotherMalice]

Will try that when I get home :)

I dont have a RPi but have set up XBMC onto my Linux pc and can recomend it also added Navi-x which is easy and quick!

 

[BrotherMalice]

I think part of my problem may be power related, I will try powering it from my powered USB hub instead of my phone charger to see if that helps. XBMC is a nice bit of software, I installed it on my PC while I was off ill earlier in the week so I could watch some vids but therre was no sound coming through on .mkv files (but that is for another thread...)

right, ifconfig (run after logging in as pi and not root)

Same results with sudo ifconfig

 

[EskiBrew]

Looks fine - have you tired the ping again?

 

[BrotherMalice]

yup, still the same in the gui & no net access?

 

[anthonyUK]

try
sudo ifdown eth0
sudo ifup eth0

This is similar to ipconfig /release and /renew on windows.
