Upgrade

$ sudo raspi-config
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

$ sudo apt-get install htop python-pip idle idle3

Mount USB Stick

$ sudo mkdir /home/pi/stolenmoments
$ sudo blkid
/dev/sda1: LABEL="USB-STICK" UUID="3DE8-04D4" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="4ca531d6-01"
$ sudo nano /etc/fstab

edit:

#USB Stick on /dev/sda1
UUID=3DE8-04D4     /home/pi/stolenmoments    vfat    utf8,umask=022,uid=pi,gid=pi  0       0

or:

#USB Stick on /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1       /home/pi/stolenmoments    vfat    utf8,umask=022,uid=pi,gid=pi  0       0

$ sudo mount -a


IP and Network configuration

Enable the SSH Server

In Raspian Jessie it should be activated allready. If not enable the SSH server by opening the raspi-config:

$ sudo raspi-config

In 8. Advanced Options you can activate SSH.

Static IP Address

Look up your gateway:

$ netstat -r -n

Find you IP address:

$ ip addr

Give the Raspberry Pi a static IP address. Open the interfaces file:

$ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Add these lines after “face eth0 inet dhcp”:

Or:

  # Ethernet
  auto eth0
  allow-hotplug eth0
  iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.0.121
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.0.1
    dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
    

Save and quit, ctl+o, Return, ctl+x.

Disable the DHCP-Client:

 $ sudo service dhcpcd stop
 $ sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd       

Restart ethernet:

 $ sudo ifdown eth0
 $ sudo ifup eth0

Or/and reboot:

 $ sudo reboot

Login over SSH

One can login from your computer with:

$ ssh pi@192.168.0.099

or with XWindows support:

$ ssh -XY pi@192.168.0.099

PW: raspberry

Miscellaneous

If the host key verification failed, one can remove the old key with:

$ ssh-keygen -R 192.168.0.099

And with

~.

one can terminate a broken ssh session.
