I'm always impressed at how passionate people can get about a text editor!

@ tawalker - I think the main problem is that Oolite uses OpenGL which isn't supported on the RasPi.

There is, however a lot of interest amongst the Oolite people for a RasPi port, I believe.

If you're editing Linux files via Windows, I'd recommend using Notepad++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ It's very user friendly and respects the format of Linux text files better than Notepad. It's also very handy for writing Python (and other) code as it understands the structure and will colourise ...

@rurwin - I'm not really sure what you mean by running an X Server on the PC.

Google will be my friend on this one...

BTW - Have you seen today's Google Doodle? Simply brilliant.

just want to say thanks for your post, worked perfect for me :) You're welcome. It feels like getting 'approved' USB hubs is a bit of a problem for some people. I've heard a few horror stories regarding some of the Belkin hubs. The LP4HUB10 was nice and easy to obtain, not too expensive and does wh...

I had a quick google, and it seems that http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ might be what you're looking for :?: That explains the behaviour of the 'regular' VNC nicely, thanks. ie VNC creates a 'virtual' instance of the GUI that is separate from what is seen locally. I've only used VNC on Windows mac...

I can VNC into my Raspberry Pi from my laptop. However the screen connected to the Raspberry Pi is not the same as on my laptop.My laptop is not controlling the screen connected to the Raspberry Pi but another instance of a desktop. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I could be wrong, but I think tha...

Still haven't been able to fully test my setup, but have discovered that the Logik LP4HUB10 is passing power back up the USB to the Pi which may be causing instability. I've posted instructions here http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=8926 on how easily stop this happening. Thanks...

I've posted some photos of my modified Logik LP4HUB10 here:

No longer tries to back-power the Pi causing instability!

Thanks for the suggestions on how to do this.

I was struggling to get my Logik LP4HUB10 powered USB hub (PC World £12.99) to work properly when I noticed that it appeared to be back-powering the RasPi through the USB socket. When I disconnected the Pi's main PSU (connected via the micro USB port) I noticed that the Pi stayed on, drawing power f...

I've got a Logik LP4HUB10 powered hub that's doing strange power things too. Has anybody managed to kill the power backflow on one of these? I'd be a lot more comfortable knowing the hub isn't slowly frying my Pi. I'm powering the Pi itself via the PSU recommended by RS when ordered. I hear a lot of...

Thanks, as soon as I get the wireless working I'll try it out

Newt_Othis

This is a fairly nooby question. If I SSH into the RasPi (connected to the TV) from my laptop, can I launch a process so that it's visible on the TV ? For example, can I launch the excellent omxplayer to play a video on the TV, by issuing a command from the laptop via SSH? BTW - I've been using Ubun...

Newt_Othis

Does it boot fine only with HUB connected (no wireless)? If it boots ok, try connecting the wireless (hot-plug) to the HUB and check dmesg for errors. I had a similar problem: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=8670&p=103231#p103231 Thanks - I'll try it later... I'm sure I'm not...

I need to run my RasPi in an area with no wired ethernet, so I checked out the list of 'working' hardware as listed here http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals and bought: Logik LP4HUB10 4-Port Powered USB Hub (Lots of people seem to recommend this) and a TP-Link TL-WN722N wireless adapter (Nice ...

Nice!

Ahh - Text adventures - Those were the days....

You are in a dimly lit room. There is food on the floor. You are hungry.
### pick up food

### get food

### eat food

GAME OVER

Can I just recommend that new RasPi owners get themselves a *powered* USB hub. Whilst convenient, the two onboard USB sockets will suck the life out of your fruity friend if you start using anything more than a keyboard and mouse. The excellent elinux.org has some great tips for compatible hubs (and...

@plankity - My RasPi arrived yesterday. I patiently waited for my toddler to go to bed and then got started on the Bravia in the living room. Luckily I had seen some of the HDMI config tweaks a few days ago, so wasn't too upset to see the edges of the screen disappear. Got booted off the telly by th...
