    How to use Wi-Fi On Your Raspberry Pi
    supreethThursday, 27 March 2014 0 comments

    I think you must have configured your cute or cool little Raspberry Pi as we have discussed in the way you want so i have also!!, its fine and well and running slickly, once i wondered and also worried about changing the big preference of connection its Ethernet tether with a Wi-Fi unit( I had to choose wireless because my rpi is so fussy and wired). Wait, We are not going to make it back up to all the peripherals and quickly add in Wi-Fi support from the command line.
    Why Wifi for it?
    If you’re a DIY geek (or trying becoming one), you obviously would have known how annoying it can be to realize that your RPi project now needs yet another little tweak that likely necessitates pluging in a monitor and keyboard/mouse to the box.
    The best way to avoid setting up things  tois connect your pc and control your rPi from it otherwise known as remote access(you can do it by downloadin team viewer from here and install in both servers). Once you have that setup,  you wiil obviously need to know how to control things out remotely that would formerly be automated by a interface (like turning on the Wi-Fi). we’re going to take you through the way to remotely connect to your Pi and activate a Wi-Fi dongle
    What Do we need
    ·         Raspbian installed Raspberry Pi unit with ever thing ready
    ·         1internet connection to Pi unit (needed for activating the Wi-Fi functionality remotely)
    ·         Wi-Fi Dongle (as in india i have used tata photon+ obviously best in my country)
    If this dongle is not available in your country we strongly recommend googling twice  for the model you have it in mind to purchase to see if it is well supported.
    In addition to the above items, you need to take a moment to check the config of the Wi-Fi unit you have to connect your Raspberry Pi unit to: you’ll need to take a peek of the password, SSID and encryption method etc
    Enabling the Wi-Fi Dongle through  the Terminal
    Every things cool now lets start, boot your Raspberry Pi unit (without the Wi-Fi dongle pinned in). Now, o network device should be aboard Ethernet NIC
    Connect to your R Pi via SSH connection  to get access  to a remote terminal prompt. (didn’t configure your device for remote access before?, do it now)
    Back at the prompt, enter the following command line:
    sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
    At the nano text editor, you’ll see something like this:
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    iface eth0 inet dhcp

    That’s the same old basic configuration that maintains your RPi’s Ethernet connection (you can see the eth0 part). We need to add a very tiny bit to enable the Wi-Fi dongle.  move down below the existing code by Using the arrow keys and add the following lines:
    allow-hotplug wlan0
    iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
    iface default inet dhcp
    Once you annotate the file,  save the file(shortcut ctrl +x) and exit the nano editor. At the command line again, enter the following command:
    sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
    contrast the contents of the file, to the following code. If the file is empty, you can use this code to manipulate it. Make a note of the commented lines (shown by the # ) to reference which variable you should use based on your current Wi-Fi node configuration.
    ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
    update_config=1
    network={
    ssid="SSID"
    psk="PASSWORD"
    # Protocol type can be: RSN (for WP2) and WPA (for WPA1)
    proto=WPA
    # Key management type can be: WPA-PSK or WPA-EAP (Pre-Shared or Enterprise)
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    # Pairwise can be CCMP or TKIP (for WPA2 or WPA1)
    pairwise=TKIP
    #Authorization option should be OPEN for both WPA1/WPA2 (in less commonly used are SHARED and LEAP)
    auth_alg=OPEN
    }
     Then you’re done editing the file, press save and exit the document. Now is right the time to unplug the Ethernet cable and plug in the Wi-Fi dongle .
    At the command line, enter the following command which will reboot the PI:
    sudo reboot
    When the device reboots completely, it should automatically connect to the Wi-Fi part. for some basis if it fails to emerge on the network, you can simple replug the Ethernet cable back into  it and check the two files and the variables you altered.
    check the position of the Wifi if its working by command line ifconfig (this helps us to to see if wlan0 has got an IP address) and command iwconfig to check which network the wireless adapter is currently using.



    Hell yeah finished now surf up the net on your raspberry pi with lesser wires and more enriched experience, if you still got a problem with it comment below, you can also request below for a tutorial on this by commenting below, happy DIYing, wish u a good luck

    How to check the font online used in an image
    supreethSunday, 16 February 2014 0 comments


    we all have that one habit of curiosity to look into trolls, images and logos. Have you ever  wondered  about the font used in it? Then its the right tutorial. Recently i saw a logo of my friend’s blog legendary geeks you may have heard it while browsing pages it was a quite exquisite logo i wondered , it was a professional thing, rather than asking him about this i started to research on this days together and finally made this tutorial
    SO let us begin with choosing the width image or logo
    First of all download the image. for nerds- by left click select-“ save the image as” option and save the image

    How To Recognize font in image- 

    Note up

    Note the following tips while choosing the image or adjusting it


    • ·        Try to get horizontal images not diagonal or something weird
    • ·          Letters must probably around 100 pixels tall in your image
    • ·         Make sure letters aren't touching each other.
    • ·         Make the maximum 10 letters minimum 4
    • ·         ideal max. size of the containing NO descends
    • ·         120 pixels x 1666 pixels
    • ·         Ideal max. size of file containing
    • ·         160 pixels x 1250 pixels
    • ·         Also make sure it is greyscale or background is white

    Sneak up the snap

    So let us start note the rule and get a image as i brought



    Legeeks logo and converted it to a white background you can do this  by going to Microsoft paint and select all and invert color by left click i have also removed the stick thing which was obviously not a part of the logo



    We have got everything ready and now we need help of some internet
    Internet is a vast network here i got hold of  a company named my fonts where i used to sell and buy fonts

    This is where I got the solution
    Recently my fonts launched a page called whatthefont
    WTF its a common term now!! But it means different here what the font provides a easy solution to all the images to find out the fonts used in it but how here’s the solution i am going to show you step by step tutorial to find out perfect font using it by your image

    Steps to the success

    #step-1 upload  the picture to the app

    Log on to
    choose the image as shown  in below screenshot:
    choose a png or tiff both are better for the app and click on continue it redirects your tp the next page



    #step-2: character selection 

    it would be a easy task if you know English!! Because sometimes the app might mislead the letter l to i  or o to a only in specific fonts so this would be an important task to do in the steps

    In the screen shot the app got it completely wrong as it is tough font i corrected it from 9 to s h to k etc and click on continue when you finish writing it choose the right letters because its the important thing for a font if you don’t know which letter ask the image holder



    #step3- choose the right one

    You will be redirected to the page where you are going to select the right font from the list there would also be keywords which are related to your logo as mine showed futuristic techno or any thing like that we know what is what and which suits the best and which would match exactly like the thing i got the font as bauer after getting the right font make a click on the font and you will be redirected to the page



    #step4-get it at the right price


    You will be directed to a buy page where you get all in one in info and details and price tag at the top so have you decided to buy it? Well mine it was 70$ so i decided to get it for free!?? Shocked or not i will get it at free by googling it and doing, i will show  how i got it
       Sub tut step –a
    i have googled my font bauer and
    These were all the sites where you have to buy things out but no money then scroll down i have a surprise





    I got it in below some results the ffonts.net the coolest all in one site to get fonts for free of cost in this site i got my rar font package downloaded at my pc now to install it

    Click and open the extracted file it’ll open a new window displaying a “ when fox jumped over.... thing” as shown in screenshot click on install button and confirm it and poof done

    You can thank us or ask questions by commenting below!!


     Conclusion

     Hell yes We have the internet and power to control the world, with this app we can know the secrets of logos and conquer the graphic world

    3 Reasons:Why To Or Why Not To Buy Google Nexus Devices
    supreethTuesday, 11 February 2014 0 comments



    Usually you might say Samsung galaxies are the highest-selling Android phone, but much of the talk peek is around the Nexus 5. Nexus devices are genuine because they don’t have some of Android’s biggest bugs.
    These problems include a lack of official updates, manufacturer-created custom interfaces that slows down things and from the experience, and bloatware preinstalled by manufacturers and carriers.
     Everything was fine so What’s a Nexus Device?
    Google started the Nexus program with the Nexus One, which was a dope and wasn’t successful as they’d hoped. They also released the Nexus S, which was not extremely popular. The team started picking up the heat with the Galaxy Nexus phone, the  most popular Nexus 7 tablet, and the Nexus 4 droid, which was sold out for months after being introduced and we are waiting for nexus 5

    Nexus devices are custom designed by Google inc and relased for sale directly at Google’s Play Store, although they’re manufactured by other companies or manufacturers ( like LG for the Nexus 4, ASUS for the Nexus 7, and Samsung would make the Nexus 10.) Nexus devices are Google’s official indication and developer platform. Google’s Droid geeks(engineers) develop the images for Nexus devices and are responsible for releasing updates.
    With other Android devices, the geeks work on their own software. For example, Samsung is responsible for shifting updates to the Samsung Galaxies like notes. and 3 and they’re not near or fast as Google inc is. They also don’t support devices for as long as these can.
    Nexus devices can allow easy bootloading+ unlocking, which makes it possible to install custom ROMs and root the device very easilyJ. They are planned for developers, after all.

    Timely Android Updates...... updates on new things
    When a new version of Android comes out say 4.4, it’s tested on these Nexus devices and then Google immediately updates them with the new version of Android. If you have a Nexus 4, you can easily troll knowing you’ll get first access to new versions of Android!. You won’t have to wait 6 months for your device’s manufacturer and carrier to let it out, nor will you have to install a community-supported ROM that may not work properly with all your hardware.
    When Android 5.0 is released(obviously key lime pie), Nexus devices will receive it immediately. It won’t ever appear on most of the devices people currently own(nerdy galaxies!), and it probably won’t even appear on many new phones and tablets until 6 months or more
    With another Android device, your device may be outdated from the moment it leaves the store and never receive an update. The goodies are- Google now offers access to development releases of Android to manufacturers so they can lend out updates quicker, but this doesn’t seem to have helped. Smart phones and tablets are still launching with Android 4.2 or .3 today, even though Android 4.4 has been out for more than three months.
    The Android Update team, announced in 2012 to ensure all Android devices would receive updates for 18 months, was never mentioned again after its announcement, even though many Android manufacturers signed it on. Google and Android manufacturers made a promise, and promptly forgot all about it!.
    #1 Android purified and geniune, No Skins or Bloatware
    Nexus devices also offer a “purified Android” or “white  and transparent Android” experience. They run Android as Google’s developers intended it, not as software engineers at Samsung, lG or other manufacturers intended it. Many people run Cyanogenmod(bloatware) on devices from other manufacturers simply to get a more vanilla Android-like experience on their hardware.
    This means that you won’t find any preinstalled NASCAR apps or other junk apps carriers and manufacturers are currently adding to their phones. These apps are installed in the internal and take up most of the storage space, even after you disable it
     These custom skins often hide Android’s cool n best features, like Google Now and the multitasking menu.
    Some people may prefer these skins, so this is a matter of taste and tide
    #2 Price$$$$
    Price has also become a common factor while choosing it. In south America, smartphones are commonly sold on-contract and are very expensive if purchased off-contract.
    Unlike most phones, Nexus phones are sold off-contract for very cheap prices. The Nexus 4 starts at $299 off-contract, and it’s made up at a fairly high-end hardware. If you want to avoid getting locked into a contract – for example, to use a prepaid carrier or just to shop to choose around for the best service – these phones are a great conga deal.
    It’s a such a insane thing to buy off ,are so few other reasonable options for buying a high-quality phone off-contract.
    #3 Android Manufacturers are done with it
    The reason Nexus devices are so dope is because Android manufacturers are done with this. They offer devices running freaky outdated versions of Android, regularly drop support from recent devices, and are very slow to roll out updates. Their phones are sometimes packed with bloatware and custom skins that can’t be disabled.  They don’t offer reasonable off-contract prices for people who don’t want to be locked into a contract with their carrier.
    Nexus devices are the perfect. The Nexus 4 has a quite low battery life, the  storage, or the best camera and doesn’t have LTE, which may be important factor to a geek like me and you. It has a glass back, which doesn’t inspire the most of us. But it does have the best Android software experience which is the only thing at heat.

    Android should be a energetic platform with a variety of hardware choices. But, for many Android geeks who have been crumbled in the past by bloatware, bad custom skins, and lack of support, Nexus devices is the only  final option.
    Conclusion from the admin
    i have a nexus with me and i enjoy the experience a clean and sweet software to be straight buy it for god sake its damn awesome from the tip to the updates

    Solved: Windows 8 & 8.1 “We Weren’t Able to Connect to the Store” Error
    supreethMonday, 3 February 2014 0 comments

    We all know that windows 8 was a bad one but i am sure 8.1 was a grand success. When i tried to log on to my 8.1 pc To some  weird reason, several apps on my pc blank up that it  would not connect to the Internet and it cannot connect to the Windows Store. I was definitely connected to the Internet because I could check my mails  using Chrome, so it was irony why it couldn’t connect to the windows Store or why certain apps could not work. I hate this “We Weren’t Able to Connect to the Store” Error when it covers my screen
    recently, I googled it and heard them talking regarding this, however all the same old ways for fixing this drawback haven't worked: checking the date/time on your laptop, using the netsh and wsreset commands, employing a native account rather than a webaccount and making an attempt to refresh your computer. I had actually tried most of those options because it happened to be once before i also tried running wsreset, which seemed to have worked for a minute, after it blank up the same old message:
    However, none of the options found on google worked. After so many freaky expirements I finally figured out that it had something simple to do with the Live account(outlook), what we are going to do is account must to be verified and then everything will start working like before. In my live id, the account was verified, but I had two-step verification enabled(soooo boring) where I had to type my authenticator code in.


    Now let us start

    Method 1 – Authorise

    Start the task by going to Settings on your windows8 or 8.1 pc by moving your cursor to the right side of the screen. Then tap on Change PC Settings at the bottom of very screen.


    Now tap on Accounts in the left side menu.
    Here is where you’ll see the critical info what is causing trouble onthe Windows Store. If it’s a mail verification problem, you’ll see “You need to verify your account.” under your email address. Otherwise it’ll blink up Disconnect. If you have two-step verification enabled on your mail, the pop up says “You need to update some info for your Microsoft account” with a link called Update info.


    Click on that Update info link and it’ll bring you to a screen where you have to enter the code generated from your authenticator app.

    Method 2 – Check Date & Time

    if the first step didn't really work out then this step is to do is make sure the date and time on your Windows 8 PC is set correctly. You will not be able to hook up with the store if your system time isn't correctyou'll fix the time by opening the Charms bar (Windows Key + C) then typewriting in Date and Time.
    Now you'll be able to click modification date and time to line the system to the proper time. Also, ensure you’re set to the proper geographical zone additionally.

    Or you can click on internet Time, click on amendment settings so click on Update now. this may automatically synchronise your pc with time.windows.com.


    then try to open the Windows Store  and see if it is able to connect. it might!

    Method 3– Log Off/Use Local Account

    The next thing you'll be able to strive is work off your account and so log back in, particularly if you're employing a Microsoft account. Also, move to https://login.live.com/ and make certain you'll be able to login along with your Microsoft credentials. If you're bolted out for any reason like your account being hacked, etc, then you will ought to restore access to your Microsoft account and so login again in Windows 8.



    The other thing you'll attempt is to change from a Microsoft account to an area account then attempt to open the Windows Store. you'll do this by progressing to the Charms bar, clicking on Settings, then clicking on modification pc Settings then clicking on Users.

    Method 4– Proxy Server


    The other go you wish to try is that if your system is going through some proxy server. If it is, you'll be able to try and disable the proxy server and see if that lets you connect to the shop. you'll be able to do this by clicking on the gear icon at the highest right, then clicking on web options.
    Then tap on the Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings button.

    Go ahead and uncheck the Use a proxy server for your LAN box.

    Go ahead and uncheck the Use a proxy server for your LAN box.
    Now try to connect to the Windows Store . If not, keep reading.

    Method 5 – Refresh Your PC

    The last item you can do is refresh your computer. this can be not ideal as it will reset all of your apps from the Windows Store and take away any third-party programs you put in from a CD/DVD or the web. However, if nothing else is working, then this might be your only option.

    You can move to computer and click on on General. Scroll down and you’ll see Refresh your computer without loosing your files.happy browsing goodluck

    Hopefully one among these methods mounted the cannot connect with Windows Store downside on your Windows eight machine. If not, post a comment here and I’ll try and help. Enjoy!
