Raspberry π

Ordered ! It will have more ram than my main portable !

his videos on SBCs are so well done, really carefully made - highly recommended

When I start raspberry pi desktop I can see the USB drive I have plugged in on the desktop, without doing anything. Does this mean it now automounts drives and I don't have to mess about with cifs / fstab etc if I want to share it?

Anyone have a foolproof guide to setting up Samba shares for windows machines. I think windows is recognising the share as it comes up with Samba in the default name, but I don't think I've got the permissions right.

Linux CLI?

Linux CLI?

Is that a suggestion or a question?

What's accessing what (Windows accessing Pi or Pi accessing Windows)?

After a lot of swearing I've got the latter going smoothly.

Windows will be accessing the share of folders on a USB stick plugged in to the pi. I can see the folder on the PC, just not open it (due to incorrect permissions I think)

Check the version of SMB. Windows now won't support SMB1 by default.

Ah, I can't be much help then.

As you say, I imagine it's down to permissions of one sort or another. Going the other way I had to make it really explicit what users the shares were under. Also found that the version of Samba on Raspberry Pi was different to the one I was using on Linux which threw up errors.

Ah yeah, I did read something like that, although I thought it was the other around.... Anyway I'll check

Got it working! Not sure what I did differently, but this worked, for reference

Having trouble installing Sonarr, anyone managed it on Respberry Pi Desktop (Buster) recently. Specifically, when I get to this bit:

sudo apt-get install nzbdrone sqlite3-dev -y

Anyone managed this recently?

what problems are you running into?

I installed it about a month ago. Let me check back.

Do you get "Unable to locate package sqlite3-dev"?

I'm not sure what I did but the next command I ran was

sudo apt install nzbdrone

and after that it looks like it ran OK after some shit on ownership of the folders

sudo chown -R pi /opt/NzbDrone
sudo chown -R $USER /opt/NzbDrone

I already had Radarr installed so it is possible that some dependencies were already installed.

EDIT: Looking at this guide it skips the step that isn't working so I suspect that's why I then tried the alternative command https://philldavis.co.uk/project/raspberry-pi-install-sonarr/

Aptitude is better & easier than apt-get for understanding & fixing missing dependencies

Do you get "Unable to locate package sqlite3-dev"?

Yeah that's it, then when I run install nzbdrone I get

 Reading package lists... Done

Ah, looks like that probably wasn't an issue for me as I installed them when setting up Radarr. The first 3 steps here may be what you need

I think you'd want libsqlite3-dev not sqlite3-dev in Debian.

I discovered Dietpi last night, I think it's more my level of expertise and should cover everything I need to do.

Haven't heard of that before, looks useful.

I tried something similar with software called Atomic Toolkit but various stuff didn't install properly so I ended up doing it all manually anyway.

I've got a Raspberry Pi (running radarr, sonarr and a variety of other things) that I've recently plugged back in and it doesn't seem to be running properly (I can't connect to it on the network). Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot it remotely or am I going to have to find a micro hdmi cable or whatever it is?

Login to your router to see if it's been assigned a different ip address?
Look for the disk-access led flashing occasionally too - should suggest it's doing something.

Cheers. No disk access light initially so I unplugged/plugged everything and now it seems to be launching in part but most of the software isn't loading and I can't ssh in to it (I get to a password prompt but then it kicks me out even though I'm virtually positive I've got the correct username/password.)
