Re: Multi booting

Thank you both for your replies.
Hmmm...I would from now on look at berryboot with some skepticism.
Sharing kernel between distros may be a good way for some of us out there but not for me I'm afraid.
I'll concentrate on NOOBS and PINN and read/tinker with their remote boot up features.
TIA
Cheers

Re: Multi booting

NoobS / PINN are OS installer / choosers ie each OS is indipendent BerryBoot is multi-boot ie all OSes share the same Kernel Are you sure about that? Berryboot has a lot of different linux distros... I can easily see a Ubuntu sharing the same Kernel with a Debian but I sure can't see how the heck a...

Re: connecting speaker

In the end you can spend a lot of time sourcing and a lot of money buying 4k but in the end the only difference you will have is the cardboard box it arrived in has the words 4K written on it Sure, it's all in perspective. I don't want to buy a 10€ converter and then if my TV set suddenly dies and ...

Re: connecting speaker

Raspberry Pi's only support up to HDMi 1080p natively, hence why suggested something like the convertor box above, as it splits the Audio and Video signal ;) No problem. I acknowledge that the current Pi 3 only does 1080p. But in the near future we may get a new Pi capable of 2K or even 4K. And the...

Re: connecting speaker

In theory the audio derived from HDMI is better quality than the analog audio from the RPi TRRS connector. Whenever you see the red and white RCA type audio jacks that is almost always 'line' level intended to be connected to an audio amp of some sort. So, summarizing it for a big ignorant like me,...

Re: connecting speaker

........So if we just want to connect a pair of speakers we can simply buy a splitter such as the one you mentioned and then we just drive the HDMI cable from the RPi to the splitter (HDMI IN) and then we can: - adjust the slider button on the splitter to the 2CH position and connect both RCA conne...

Re: connecting speaker

HDMi Audio is good, you can purchase a splitter box like: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1080P-HDMI-to-HDMI-SPDIF-RCA-L-R-Audio-Splitter-Extractor-Converter-Box-5V-/311726352165 So if we just want to connect a pair of speakers we can simply buy a splitter such as the one you mentioned and then we just d...

Multi booting

Hello there. I have a project for a small and affordable PCB that can reliably run Linux and has RJ-45 network connectivity (wifi won't be an option here). Also it will have to be able to boot from one of 3 Linux installs. That means having, say, 3 installations of Debian Jessie with no X on the sam...

Re: Raspberry Ubuntu Core - no ssh keys found

Ubuntu core sure could use more support here in the raspberry pi forum. The guys down at Canonical decided to do it different from everyone else. So the system is only administered from the remote console. That means that you need to create an SSH key on the client . Your server (the Pi) will get it...
