Cannot connect to Raspberry Pi 3 through Ethernet cable [closed]

Standard new Raspberry Pi 3 Starter Kit with Keyboard, Mouse, Micro SD Card.

No screen available that is why first connection is planned through Ethernet cable.

Tried to connect on Ubuntu (two different laptops) and Windows 10.

MicroSD card preparation:

Earlier trials: Raspbian installed by Win32 DiskImager then tried on Windows and Linux.

Later trials (actually just ONE trial on Ubuntu):

Tried to install Noobs on SD Card on Linux by: Downloading Noobs package, unpacking with basic Ubuntu extraction tool and copying all the files on Micro SD card (formatted by GParted to fat32) Result: permission denied

Trials to run Raspberry:

To connect to Raspberry on Windows I have tried Putty (port 22, all passwords as in tutorials).

To connect on Ubuntu

ssh pi@<host_ip>

Results were similar.

• Ubuntu -> permission denied
• Windows -> something similar

Ping trial:

• Windows : Ok
• Ubuntu 1: Ok
• Ubuntu 2: Around 20% lost

How could I check whether the file system is installed in a properly?

By default, on newer Rasp OS's, SSH is disabled by default (security measure)

1. Burn the image

dd bs=4M if=2017-01-11-raspbian-jessie.img of=/dev/mmc

Where, /dev/mmc is the name of your SD card. You can get that info from:

sudo fdisk -l

2. Enable SSH

To enable SSH, and set it up heedlessly, create an empty file named ssh in your boot partition of SD card.

3. Check DHCP

Make sure that DHCP is enabled on the router, and connect via Ethernet.

4. Find the IP of raspi

Either connect to the router and check, or run fping or nmap and scan your network.

Should work with no problems.
