@tass you are too kind!

i am really getting in to this stuff now though, a week ago (no joke) i couldn't pronounce linux and now i've managed to accomplish all this. all because of a nice slice of pi!!

<r>yer i fudged my way through the guide you wrote.<br/> <br/> i'm all sorted now, the main question i didn't get answered but luckily someone at work managed to answer for me was how to find the ip address of the pi itself.<br/> <br/> i'll explain how i did it for any noobs like me out there (pleas...

<t>right i've got my pi connected and i logged in using the putty thing.<br/> <br/> i have logged in to it and have donloaded some stuff to the pi using the apt-get process.<br/> <br/> but startx won't run! what am i doing wrong now.<br/> <br/> do i have to load something else on to my flaptop for t...

<t>hello all,<br/> <br/> this is not my first post but very rudely did not introduce myself, hello world!<br/> <br/> i am looking at using the pi, possibly in conjuction with an arduino to record data from strain gauges and items such as this. then with time develop a gui to show these stresses simi...

<t>grumpy old git, cheers, it looks like then (as expected) i am attacking this from completely the wrong angle.<br/> <br/> if i explain what i am trying to do you might be able to tell me to stop being an idiot and thats not possible...<br/> <br/> i was talking to a guy at work who is a bit of a wh...

the sound doesn't work on my pi either so if anyone has anything helpful to say would be good to hear from you.

<t>ok, i did notice when i tried to build a simple "hello world" code in geany on the pi that it failed because "xterm" or "termx" wasn't loaded, thats why i did the virtual box thing on my laptop.<br/> <br/> is this something that i've done wrong or do you need to download it using the apt-get proc...

aah i see, thank you very much.

so i guess i just have to do exactly the same process through the raspberry pi using an ethernet/wireless connection.

thank you!

<t>sorry if this has been covered somewhere else...i tried searching without much luck.<br/> <br/> i have installed the virtual box and set up a virtual machine on my laptop as directed in the raspberry pi tutorials on youtube that liam has made.<br/> <br/> how do i write this to ym SD card so i can...
