128 MB GPU memory is enough. BTW, I was just considering to ask you about your memory split

Good to know. I'll try that on the other SD card. Thanks.

OK.... SORRY.... Problem solved. I don't know what caused the change, however I had a bit of deja vu, and had the feeling that this happened to me once before, so I looked back through some messages on another forum, and found where someone told me the cure. It turns out that the problem was the mem...

Sounds really strange (I do similar things all the time, e. g. stream HD TV from my sat server to the RPi) and have no problems at all. Are you using wired ethernet or WiFi? I have a giga-bit LAN. Both the computer and the RPi are plugged into the same switch. However the streaming went through the...

I'm running a RPi with a version of raspbian that I installed about 8 months ago. I've used it mainly to play HD video that I stream from another computer, and it has worked great. I use omxplayer to play the streams. Most recently, about 2 weeks ago, I used it successfully to play MPEG4 video. Then...

This may or may not be of help to this thread, but it relates to similar problems with SD cards. A few weeks ago, shortly after getting my RPi as a gift, I got a PNY 8GB class 10 SD card. I tried to write an ARCH LINUX image to it using that Win32DiskImager program, but it wouldn't work. It kept rep...

What you wanted was this pacman -Sy xf86-video-fbdev xorg-xinit vlc To run xinit /usr/bin/vlc (I think) Don't waste your time, it wont play Install xbmc-rbp-git To run LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/vc/lib/ xbmc Whe have a little problem with another program, normally just xbmc would start it, you can contro...

alarrmpi aka Arch has mplayer available, search the repository for ARMv6 packages: http://archlinuxarm.org/packages http://archlinuxpi.blogspot.co.uk Thanks. I did grab mplayer yesterday shortly after I posted. I tried it on 2 files, one a 12.5 Mbps MPEG4 file, and the other an ~16 Mbps MPEG2 file....

Thanks. I did the pacman thing on the driver alone. I then ran xinit, and it brought up an xterm window, which allowed me to run vlc. However you were right, that it wouldn't play a file. It brought up the first frame or so of the file, then it froze. At least when it froze this time, it let me brea...

What you wanted was this pacman -Sy xf86-video-fbdev xorg-xinit vlc To run xinit /usr/bin/vlc (I think) Don't waste your time, it wont play Thanks for the response. So do I understand that the xf86-video-fbdev is the video driver used by xorg? I wonder why that wouldn't have been one of the xorg de...

Perhaps should have put this in beginners section, but it's Arch Linux related. I'm a new RPi user. I installed Arch Linux a couple weeks ago, then re-installed it after I messed it up. Got it all updated now. I have mainly been using it via an ssh terminal remote from a laptop, but also had the vid...

Just an update. Today, after last post above, I used flashnul to fill my SD card with zeros Used flashnul to send the most recent image to the SD card I then booted on the card, and used fdisk to expand the use the whole 8GB card Instead of doing the pacman-key --init, at this point I decided to try...

Thanks.

Another question. I had been following an installation guide I found at: http://elinux.org/ArchLinux_Install_Guide Which said after editing the pacman.conf to do: # pacman-key --init #ls -R / && ls -R / && ls -R / multiple times in a second console Then, after a key is generated: # pacman -Syu Howev...

wejones

Thanks. Yeah, I decided yesterday to start over, and downloaded the more recent file. I made a copy of what I have on the SD card now, so I can compare things later out of curiosity. But re the proper way to get this Arch Linux going, it's still strange to me that it should have taken 15 hours for t...

SigLevel = Never was already uncommented, although I had also tried SigLevel = Optional TrustAll, which appeared prior. Perhaps I shouldn't have done that.

Obviously, I have just enough linux knowledge to mess things up.

wejones

I think I really messed things up now. I got impatient, and decided to try that pacman -Syu command anyway. It went through a bunch of steps and updated a LOT of files, but then got down and wanted to update pacman itself, at which point it failed. It was trying to add the v6h version, possibly beca...

wejones

Thanks for responding so quickly. You cannot assume that your version of arch is armv6h, you need to check. If your mirror lists are taking you to mirrors with arm rather than armv6h packages, your system is badly out of date. When did you get and dd your image? Can you post the file name of the ima...

wejones

I don't think it has to do with the mirror being updated, at least not now. I'm convinced now that I don't have the pacman.conf and/or mirrorlist file set up right, however I'm confused re how I should have those files set up. I wonder if someone using Arch Linux OS could give an example of how they...

wejones

Thank you for the reply, re file not found. Since the errors I was seeing yesterday mentioned the transaction being slow, it never occurred to me that the file wouldn't be there, but I think that's the case. Today, changed to a different mirror, and it was pretty much the same. Then, I looked closer...

wejones

Update. Previous post was based on what I did yesterday. Today, I decided to repeat attempt to get some files via pacman, after a reboot. Today, I still get error 404, however I no longer get the message telling me that the transfers are too slow. So maybe today speed is not an issue, but I don't kn...

New to using the Raspberry. Just installed the Arch-Linux on an 8 GB sd card. Put the card into what I think is a model B-version 1 Raspberry that I received as a gift. Set up the network, and sshd to connect from other computers, and expanded the size of the SD card (although I did not add a swap p...
