@kevin
if usb connection drop it's normally a power supply issue, I had the same problem with my keyboard and network card with a cheap hub
there is a link on the pi website showing a pi being used to remote trigger a camera inside a birdbox and they were using power from the lan cable
it's something I plan to do in the future when I get round to it
in the mean time try and find a better power supply and if your using a hub try and do without - also many hubs back feed power back through to Pi hich makes them go wonky
good luck
ally :)

Hi everyone

October is here, the autumn leaves are falling and the nights are
drawing in. Hopefully that doesn't put you off wanting to come along
to the next monthly LUG meeting.

We shall meet on Wednesday 17th October 2012, at Lincoln Bowl,
Washingborough Road, Lincoln, LN4 1EF, starting at 7pm, and we'll be
in the party room (on the right-hand side once through the main
entrance); if you can't find us or arrive super early and no-one else
is there, please ask at reception and they will point you in the right
direction.

Last month, new group member Andrew Walmsley offered to give a
lightning talk on usability, so hopefully he can come along to the
meeting and we'll get to hear it this month :)

For those members who wish to give lightning talks, they will start at
8.30pm and should last no longer than 15 minutes in total, including
QA time for the audience.

Hopefully see some of you there

Cheers

Becky

Hi Everyone

Does anyone know how to log the output from apt-get.

With the following, the output is an empty file:

sudo apt-get update > error.txt

sudo apt-get update | tee error.txt

My raspberry pi will not apt-get update and I am trying to post the output.

Regards

Kevin

Hey Kevin :)

Have you taken a look inside '/var/log/apt'? It should contain the
logs. Try something like:

    cat /var/log/apt/term.log

or

    cat /var/log/apt/history.log

and add redirection as desired.

Yes I have

The output is not in these log files.

I am also stuck in the command line as the mouse does not work when I 
start x

So Raspberry Pi 2 User 0

but if this continues I will be holding a competition

Best way to scrap a pi?

a) a large hammer (tried and tested)
b) under the wheels of my car
c) from the top of a tall building
d) next doors dog
e) lawnmower
f) power tool (own choice)
g) strapped to a firework
h) bonfire

Regards

Kevin
