Not sure which file did the trick, and it might be that I downloaded the latest kernel.img and not the old one (shouldn't have made a difference I don't think, but ok...). I replaced arm192_start.elf, arm224_start.elf, start.elf, kernel.img, and kernel_cutdown.img with the latest versions. works

Hey! I've been using Debian Squeeze for several months and I just got this issue for the first time. I think it was a firmware update.

So I replaced the kernel.img with the one from an older backup I had which works. But I still have the same rainbow screen.

What else could be wrong?

I like that the conversation steered in this direction

Hey. what are the chances the foundation could get on this? If they don't want to sell stickers, could we make our own and distribute them? Not that we want to steal the logo or steal your intellectual property (I think that concept is BS but I generally try to respect it), but if you aren't going ...

Hi! I really like this idea. Love it!

Ok so I have to admit when I saw the pibow, I was somewhat wary of whether I'd made the right decision on my case.. but it (finally) arrived today and the modmypi case is fantastic! I've experienced no discernable movement inside the case-- which is great. It does wiggle some when I add and remove c...

ok so looks like I'm bringing out my inner noob I downloaded the libretro scripts and commeneted out the ones I didn't want... but basically the gist of what I want here is a way to try snes games. I haven't had any success with building those libraries but it appears as though some of you are succe...

Many people have said Minecraft isn't written well, and that may be true, but there's a lot going on in the game which helps explain why it has trouble running on lower-level machines. Yes, the graphics are simple, but it's rendering innumerable blocks at a time, having to constantly update itself a...

So I just tested this on Raspbian, works great! I mean I died, the game kind of sucks right now.. yes I know it's in alpha... but it looked and worked great. So I mean, yeah, the internet connection thing is weird. No, my connection isn't slow, no, it's not cutting out. Something doesn't work either...

Have you tried your supply that you say won't work? My hub totally shouldn't be doing its job according to the numbers but it's doing finee.

what can I change to put a black background behind videos? it appears to call omxplayer w/o the proper script

BenWiley4000

I'm glad to know I was not the only person with this issue. Hopefully there will be a fix soon!

p.s. I know the debate has been quelled, but why would debian be providing a kernel that doesn't support torrenting? this is the kind of thing people notice really quickly..

Don't know if it's "supposed" to be laggy in the cinematics but on my overclocked pi everything is perfect! Come gameplay, there is definite lag, i.e. stops every couple of seconds. Please see if that can be fixed! Thanks!

On topic, I agree. Seriously, the 25 dollar thing isn't true at all. It's 45 dollars. maybe closer to 30 with the cheaper model, which doesn't exist yet.

If you prefer books that's fine, I just don't have any good suggestions. If you're still in the early intro phase I highly recommend spending an afternoon on learnpython.org. Excellent learning tool.

ok, so

a) what makes it faulty
b) who are you emailing

So after realizing that Beneath a Steel Sky (apt: beneath-a-steel-sky) and Flight of the Amazon Queen (apt: flight-of-the-amazon-queen) are available in the debian repos and that they play perfectly on the pi under ScummVM (apt: scummvm), I wondered if other games that aren't available in the debian...

The problem is that my file definitely exists-- do I need to put the name in quotes? Is there some input format I'm unfamiliar with? I'm not really sure what's going on. I just tested again. If I make the working directory the pyomxplayer directory and try using a file in another directory (which ap...

I tested it out-- when I tell it the name of the file I want, it pretends I didn't give it a file and it keeps asking again. It understands "bye" though, so that's good I guess. Also, since I haven't tested it with an actual file, I can't confirm this, but since it asks "HDMI or local" output at the...

Here's my testing experience (I run overclocked with 850 arm, 350 core, 500 sdram, so I can't guarantee ALL of my games listed as working will run.. but most will): WORKS: ace-of-penguins atris blobwars (possibly some lag) freedink frozen-bubble (lag without overclock) gtetrinet gtkboard lbreakout2 ...

I'm using finch. It wins

BenWiley4000

Well I ended up having to work from a backup I made Sunday, which has turned out ok, since I've reached the same point I was at before the disaster, basically. I've reverted back to 850 arm, 350 core, 500 sdram. It's working fine, no problems, and I've noticed some definite improvements in performan...
