I got my RPi a few days ago and I feel rather useless. This is for the very simple reason that I have yet to even be able to ssh into my pi. In other words, I have not logged into it, and I have not accessed it. I am trying to remotely connect to my Pi through my wireless laptop with an RJ-45 Ethernet Cable. I'm currently running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and my pi is using Raspbian. The SD card I'm using is 8 GB. Whenever I attempt to ping it using nmap, it doesn't show up. (Also, I'm using a Model B Pi.) Any help would be appreciated., thanks. -Omega Emrys
PS: I know what the search bar is, don't tell me to use it please.
I finally found my pi's ip, except I'm not sure it's the right ip. Here is my ifconfig:

When I disconnect the Ethernet cable, the inet address at the very top disappears. However, when I try to nmap -sn the ip, it doesn't refer to the host as raspberry pi. Also, I do manage to ssh into it but when it ask me for the password and I enter "raspberry", it denies me permission, any help you could give me would be wonderful. Thank you very much, Omega.
(EDIT: It just changed the inet address to 10.42.0.1 after I unplugged and plugged the Ethernet a couple of times, which I'm guessing suggest that it is dhcp?)
(EDIT: I did as was suggested by Wilf, and this is what I got:
Nmap scan report for 10.42.0.1

How I did a headless setup on a Mac.
Downloaded etcher.
Downloaded zip file of raspbian (you are using Ubuntu, not sure if it will work this way)
Plugged in my SD card and burned the zip file to the SD card with etcher.
Add a empty file called ssh, make sure there is no extension such as .txt
Insert SD card into pi, connect Ethernet cable and micro USB cable.
power up the pi, and find your pis IP address on your router page.
Open terminal and type: ssh pi@YourIpaddress
Change YourIpaddress in the last step to your raspberry pis up address
Your done!
Hope this helps :)
Try this:
Do a fresh install with a latest image of Raspbian OS using Etcher.
Go to Raspberry Pi Configuration and enable SSH in Interfaces tab.
Reboot the Pi.
Connect the Pi and the computer/laptop to use in remote in the same network.
Check your ip via executing ifconfig in terminal.
If your using Ubuntu/Manjaro?Linux Mint, open terminal and execute ssh [email protected] where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip of the pi.
ssh [email protected](or whatever the ip is now...)
