What am I missing here? I've got Debian 8.0, and I'm trying to install stuff with .deb, thus far it's Mega and Dropbox. I keep getting "package architecture (i386) does not match system (armhf)". Google isn't really helping. I'm running:
code:
sudo dpkg -i filename.deb"

The package is compiled for a different processor than the one on the Pi. DropBox didn't even bother with an x86_64 package until recently.

You may give this a go.

Thanks for the replies. New question, I have a crontab running a Python script which takes photos and then uploads them to Dropbox. This works just fine. However, the script has a bunch of print functions that work when I run the script regularly, but no CLI is popping up when I run the script on boot. I'm not sure what to Google for.

Add this to the end of the cron entry:

code:

> /path/to/file 2>&1

On the Pi, is there a way to control whether a USB port is powered or not? I'd like to use one to turn on/off a device that is just powered by USB. Maybe an Arduino would be better, but I think it'll be easier to do the zwave stuff from a Pi.

I've used this for one client.
