Ok. Now I feel better, but still stupid.

Thank you all for clarification.

I see the Beta is OS dektop, I assume there will be a Lite in due time.

I wonder.. the 64bit OS beta is available for download.

But now I feel stupid, and probably am too, what is the arm_64bit setting for previous raspbian then?
I thought that already was loading a 64bit OS? (by the way, I am only running raspbian lite)

Ready to learn here... as I feel very noob now.

USB sd-card readers will generally give worse performance than booting from the card directly but it's a useful quick test

So then, if I re-burn the SD card image to a USB3 thumbdrive after having done the short list, this should work too right?

Since today seems to be a very bad day... yesterday it seemed a dozen drops an hour.. now it seems to be a continuous series of up/down. The PI4s seem totally unavailable. As a test I reverted one PI4 from 64bit to 32bit. This one PI4 reverted to 32bit seems to be able to keep up the ethernet connec...

Thanks for your reply. this is the output on Pi4 # uname -a Linux host.name.com 4.19.97-v8+ #1294 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 30 13:27:08 GMT 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux # /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd version Feb 12 2020 12:36:21 Copyright (c) 2012 Broadcom version c3c8dbdf147686fb0c3f32aece709d0653368810 (clean) (relea...

I read https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/posting.php?mode=reply&f=28&t=271305 and it may be similar it may be not. Therefore a new topic. In short: the Ethernet Connection to my raspberry PI4's is stopping every now and then. In a long explanation I will explain the setup. I have 3 RPI4s running. A...

I am trying to do the same thing.

I am pretty new in working with the pins and how to configure.... sorry if my explanation doesn't meet the actual standards and terminology. I have a Pi4 4GB I very much am impressed with... I added a start - stop button on pin 5 and 6... added dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown to /boot/config.txt reboot and ...

Frankly, assuming that your phones can act as mass storage devices over USB (and every android phone I've used could) you'd find it simpler just to plug the phone into the head unit via a normal micro-USB cable. as I wrote earlier.. someone at Google/Android decided to remove the mass storage featu...

As I understand, as the mobile phone does not support Mass Storage Device 1. connect with bluetooth using File Transfer Profile Bluetooth Profile (goop, obex) 2. I should only mount it as read only. 3. The partition should be fat32 at best but can it actually be powered from the usb to go port? Or d...

A short introduction. Some older car audio systems allow USB connection to play music from mobile devices. The protocol used in older systems is Mass Storage Device. Since Android 4, Android phones no longer support that without rooting and modding. (Thank you Google :( ). Now they implemented Media...

That's IT! setting forwarders.
I actually thought it would pick up the DNS from the network settings (as there is DNS set there)
Apparantly not.

Thanks!

It is "named" (bind9) that fails "quietly".

So because the target domains do not have an IPv6 address (yet) it fails? Is that correct?
It now says "error" it should be "info" then right?

Anyone knows a way to disable this message in the log file (or at least change it to "INFO")?

None of the proposed solutions in that link worked.

My rPI3 is behind my own router in an IPv4 network only. Raspbian (Debian Linux 8.0) is installed and as well as Webmin 1.820 and Virtualmin 5.04 That works all fine. I have a monitor tool that probes external sites for their availability and up time. Again, so far so good. Though in my syslog I see...
