I decided to re-image my older Pi since the newer one works and now the older board from 2015 talks just as well. I also made another discovery. It appears that the raspberry pi boards from this year or at least some of them now have a built-in WiFi interface. I assigned static IP addresses for both the wired and wireless interfaces on both Pi's and kept losing the newer board which seemed to keep changing IP addresses almost randomly. Since the older pi needed a WiFi usb adapter, I had ordered one for the new Pi. They are ten or fifteen Dollars if I remember right so I never gave it much thought and put it in before ever powering it up. It worked and i assumed it was the new adapter I had plugged in until today when I unplugged it and the wired ethernet cable to deliberately make it find nothing to get a network on. I listened to the bootup and it still said it had the wireless address. I figured it was maybe remembering the last good lease it got so I sort of laughed at it and tried to ssh into another system and it did. ifconfig -a reports wln0 so I think the new adapter is either doing nothing or occasionally becoming wln0. Well, I guess I have a spare adapter now. Also, the old Macintosh keyboard works much better since I ran rasp-config and told it to use a US-style keyboard. For any of you wanting to make the raspberry pi talk, here are all the commands. I put a # infront of each line so uncomment them all and then "source" the file from the pi user account or any other account that has sudo capabilities. #sudo apt-get install git #git clone https://github.com/cromarty/ttsprojects.git #cd ttsprojects/raspberry-pi/libilctts/src #sudo make #sudo make install #cd ../../piespeakup #sudo ./build.sh Martin _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
