Hello. If you’re looking for a guide on Hamachi, you already know what it is. Before installing it, update the system sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade install “ lsb-core”: sudo apt-get install lsb-core In the meantime, download the client from the official website, ARM HF version naturally .deb. Once all this is done, from the terminal go to the folder where you downloaded the package and install it: ...
Hello. As you’ve surely noticed, when connecting the Raspberry to a FullHD monitor, the resolution isn’t 1920x1080, and it’s not possible to select it. To force this resolution, go to: sudo nano /boot/config.txt look for all disable_overscan=0 and change the value to 1 (from 0 to 1). Finally, at the end of the file, comment out the following lines (comment with #): overscan_left=24 overscan_right=24 overscan_top=16 overscan_bottom=16 Restart the Raspberry. ...

Hello. After installing Raspbian (on the Raspberry website there are all the necessary guides), the first things to do are: enable ssh: sudo raspi-config navigate to the “SSH” option under “Advanced options” and enable it (it’s not necessary but it might be useful for remote access). Change the default username and password (respectively “pi” and “raspberry”): enable the root user with: sudo passwd root log out from the pi user, log in as root and give these commands (new_user = your new username): ...

Need to navigate a remote folder via shell? Well, as you’ve noticed, it’s not possible to do this without mounting the folder somewhere. To do this, you need smbfs (which, from what I’ve found online, is a file system or, better, a “mountable” SMB). To install it, open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install smbfs After that, you’ll need to create a folder where you’ll mount the remote folder; this can be in any location you prefer (I put it on the “Desktop”) and you can create it however you want (via GUI or with a simple “mkdir”). ...
Network Manager is an excellent wireless/wired/VPN/Dial-up network manager, but it doesn’t always work well. A worthy replacement is Wicd. To install it, you can follow the instructions on the Ubuntu Wiki, but on Lucid Lynx, when it tries to uninstall the Network Manager packages (“network-manager” and “network-manager-gnome”), it fails. You might say “Who cares? I’ll leave them there and start Wicd!”. Why? In my case, they conflicted with each other and Wicd couldn’t connect. ...
