ADDING THE NETWORK DETAILS TO THE RASPBERRY PI and WiFi from eBay!

sudo wget https://github.com/porjo/mt7601/raw/master/src/mcu/bin/MT7601.bin -O /lib/firmware/mt7601u.bin

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Go to the bottom of the file and add the following:

RaspberryPi perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

Sometime I got so mad when I saw this error. So here is the solution:

• Stop forwarding locale from the client. Do not forward the locale environment variable from your local machine to the server. You can comment out the SendEnv LANG LC_* line in the local /etc/ssh/ssh_config file.
• Stop accepting locale on the server. Do not accept the locale environment variable from your local machine to the server. You can comment out the AcceptEnv LANG LC_* line in the remote /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

RaspberryPi image write from linux

It's cool if we can see the progress when we are trying to write Raspbian image to a sd card. Following command will show how to do that:

dd if=2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy.img | pv | dd of=/dev/sdb

/dev/sdb is your sdCard and be careful when are you choosing this option.

VirtualBox setup

VirtualBox

This chapter should only be done when installing a local server with VirtualBox

• Get latest VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
• Also get the extension pack for the current VirtualBox version and install
• Also get the VBoxGuestAdditions ISO for the current VirtualBox version. It should be available at http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/
• Create a new machine, 8Gb HDD 4Gb Memory, Linux/Ubuntu 64, dynamically allocated hard disk.
• Select the new machine, Settings->Network->Network Settings, set adapter 1 to Bridged Adapter, Allow All

Ubuntu Server

• Get the latest 64-bit Ubuntu Server from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server (Current version is 14.04LTS).
• Mount ISO image
• If in VirtualBox, just mount ISO and start the virtual machine
• If standalone server, burn ISO to CD or to USB stick, set the BIOS to boot from that media and boot
• Set it up as a LAMP server
• Set up MySQL to use the root password from config/database in the source code.
• If a standalone server, copy the source to the server /var/www

Configuring VirtualBox Guest additions

• 
  Settings->Storage. Select the CD ROM and remove the current disk from the virtual drive.
• Settings->Storage. Select the CD ROM and "insert" the VBoxGuestAdditions ISO image.
• In the linux box:

 sudo apt-get install dkms
 sudo mount -r /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
 sudo bash /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Add to /etc/rc.d before the exit 0 line:

 sudo mount -t vboxsf boenderegistret /var/www


Reboot so it gets properly mounted
