When setting up a Raspberry Pi with SqueezePlug, my favorite distribution for setting up a music server I always get the error message “avahi-daemon disabled because there is a unicast .local domain” because I have a lot of Apple equipment configured with Bonjour. To fix it, all you need to do is to edit /etc/default/avahi-daemon and change the line:
AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=1
to
AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=0
then restart the Avahi-daemon with
sudo service avahi-daemon restart
Problem solved.
How to use interrupts with Python on the Raspberry Pi and RPi.GPIO » RasPi.TV:
We’ve finally got interrupt capability on the Raspberry Pi for GPIO programming in Python using RPi.GPIO.
Interesting! Saving this link for later experimenting. Need buttons for my Carputer Raspberry Pi.

Secure browsing on iOS (iPhone/iPad) using OpenVPN and the Raspberry Pi « Remi Bergsma’s blog:
When I’m not at home I use my iPhone or iPad and connect to the internet using either 3G or public wifi. I want to configure my mobile device to setup an encrypted VPN tunnel and route all traffic through it, so I have a safe browsing experience. Fortunately, there now is an OpenVPN app available on iOS that allows you to do that! Please install this app using the App Store, and continue reading to set it all up.
Looks like another great use for a Raspberry Pi! I’ll try it out when I get hold of my third one.
I love my music playback setup that consists of a couple of Squeezebox V3 players in different rooms so I can listen to music in lossless format wherever I am in the apartment. With the iPeng HD app on my iPad, I have a nice interface for controlling the players with album art and other nice features. But the best part is that I can playback high resolution audio directly on my iPad using the Camera Kit USB adapter and an HRT HeadStreamer DAC portable USB headphone amplifier. But I wanted a small, cheap and eco-friendly server for hosting my music files and wondered if I could use the Raspberry Pi. And here’s my findings.
When setting up my new web server I had a problem when installing vsftpd on Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS. After doing the sudo apt-get install vsftpd and enabling login for local users, I got a “Server 530 login incorrect error” when trying to connect with a local user. The settings for disabling anonymous login and allowing local users where set in /etc/vsftpd.conf.
[cc lang=”bash”]anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES[/cc]
But the ftp server still refused to let me login with any of the users on the system. I tried remove and reinstall, but the problem persisted. Finally I found a thread where others had the same problem. And here’s how to fix the problem.
[cc lang=”bash”]
sudo apt-get remove vsftpd
sudo rm /etc/pam.d/vsftpd
sudo apt-get install vsftpd
[/cc]
This fixed the problem for me. The only reason for me to have an ftp server on my machine is to do automatic updates of WordPress. The machine is behind a firewall so port 21 is not open to the world. For file upload I use sftp.
