espeak didn't work for me until I added myself to the audio group.
My audio application involves a Bash script controlling a Zoom model 3095 USB modem. It announces who is calling on my land line.

Re: gpg key during update...
This post needs an answer. The files in /usr/share/keyrings/ are prefaced with 'ubuntu' vs 'raspbian' which is why they aren't found. Should these files be renamed with the 'raspbian' prefix?

Re: WiFi works from Pi, but can't access Pi from network
I've done the rpi-update thing rpi-update does not update all the packages only the firmware. The file is a shell script which you can view with less `which rpi-update` (Those marks are back-ticks, not single quotes) try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get...

Re: sudo halt or sudo shutdown
Actually quite a few. Since one of the goals of the Raspberry Pi Foundation is to get them into classrooms, I could see a case where an entire school could be logged into one Pi.penguintutor wrote:how many people manage a system where multiple users are connected via a terminal / command shell session these days?

With over a million Pis in the wild it's time to stop all discussion about making any hardware changes. Learn the Coca Cola recipe lesson!

Re: A faster CPU
I run most of my Pis headless. A wi-fi dongle is cheap and the micro ones like the Realtek 8188CUS are tiny. SSH and VNC give you all the connectivity you need with only the power cord connected to the Pi. If you need hdmi video then use x2x from any other computer (even another Pi). There are plent...

Re: Disabling the Blank screen
You can stop screen blanking by entering the three commands. You may have to apt-get install x11-xserver-utils to get xset xset s off # don't activate screensaver xset -dpms # disable DPMS (Energy Star) features. xset s noblank # don't blank the video device in a terminal started in the X-Windows se...

Re: What's the plural of Raspberry Pi.
Actually, we don't always form plurals by adding an s.
1 mouse, 2 mice
1 moose, 2 moose
1 spy, 2 spies
so we can make up any rule we want.
I suggest:
1 raspberry pi, 2 raspberry pys
1 mouse, 2 mice
1 moose, 2 moose
1 spy, 2 spies
so we can make up any rule we want.
I suggest:
1 raspberry pi, 2 raspberry pys

Re: What's the plural of Raspberry Pi.
Diameter of a circle is 2 Pi R so obviously the Plural of Pi is Pi. So say I and so said Archimedes.
