Raspberry Pi login

[tieftonsack]

Hi everyone!

I would like to get access to my usb drive on the raspberry pi 3 to have the possibility to open and import files direktly to the qlc+.
I have allready found the sudo command in the manual to make this working but the raspi is asking for a login to do this.
The mentioned user (ssh pi@ IP Adress of the raspi) in combination with the passwort (raspberry), which I found in the manual wont work.

Is anybody havin a solution for this?

Thank you all a lot.

Greetings
Andi

First you need to access via SSH as user 'pi' and then you can perform commands with sudo.
The 'pi' user is a so called 'sudoer' so you don't necessarily need to login as 'root' user.

Dear Massimo,

thx for your answer.

The login on my macbook pro by worked so far (I think. Sorry, I´m an absolut noob on the raspberry). But when I try to get access to my usb drive I always get "unable to locate package usbmount":

here is a copy of my terminal informations:
--------
raspberrypi login: pi

The reason why I try to get access to my usb drive is because I have done a QLC+ Show on my macbook and tried to transfair it to the raspberry via lan. The informations for the fixtures (scenes, chasers etc.) arrived on the raspberry perfectly but the audiofile (wav.) was not trasmitted. So I thougt the solution could be to to get direkt access to an usb drive on the raspberry and import the audiofiles from there.

Do you have any idea what I´m doing wrong. Meanwhile it took me hours of reserch on the internet.

Thank you and greetings from Vienna

You need to move the audio file into the /root/.qlcplus directory.
Easiest way to do this is via SCP. On OSX you can use the program "Transmit" - look in the app store. It's not free but it's a great tool.
Connect into your raspberry pi, and copy the wav file (eg audio.wav) into your /home/pi directory.
Then ssh into your pi - eg ssh pi@192.168.0.5 and then copy the file into the correct directory:
sudo mv audio.wav /root/.qlcplus/

Once this is done you may need to check the path to the file is correct.
If you know how to use nano, you can do it like this:

Back it up first: sudo cp /root/.qlcplus/autostart.qxw /root/.qlcplus/autostart.qxw.bak
sudo nano /root/.qlcplus/autostart.qxw

look for your wav file by pressing control+w and typing wav
It should show you something like this:
<Source>audo.wav</Source>

Make sure it's only got only the file name, and no other path left over from your mac.

Save it (control + o) and exit (control + x) and restart your raspberry pi
sudo shutdown -r now

Of course if your audio file and project file are in the same directory on your mac in the first place, then you won't need to change paths.

hope this helps.
