Getting Started


Picture
Great Linux Reference page
Logging in:
Default username  pi
Default password  raspberry

To start the GUI:
startx

Changing the Default Password:
sudo passwd

Change the Date and Time of the Raspberry Pi:
Type sudo date, followed by the date and time to be set.  For example, 4th November 2013, 2pm, type sudo date 110414002013, note the month and date are reversed and in American format.

Hot key to bring up command line
Alt and F2 together

Make a new folder: 
mkdir  followed by the name of the folder, mkdir work_stuff makes a folder called work_stuff.  This by default is made in the  /home/pi area

Finding out your IP address:
hostname -I

Taking a Screen Shot:
Requires a small utility call scrot, 
sudo apt-get install scrot 

To take a screen shot:  
sudo scrot

To take shot with a 5 second time delay 
sudo scrot –d5

Gives a count down           

sudo scrot –d5 -c 
 

Shut down the RaspPi:
sudo halt

Reboot /Restart the RasPi:
sudo reboot         

Check what pages are installed:
dpkg -l
