Thanks for your work so far, I am trying out Moebius as a base for a torrent server, so far I am impressed with Moebius.

I am looking forward to the torrent installation. I have so far tried Transmission, which is ok for downloading but will not seed back. And Deluge crashes my Pi.

Thank you, I was already in the desktop, then when I typed "startx" Blocky started.

When I try to install Blocky I get this message: pi@raspberrypi ~/blocky $ ./blocky Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/pi/blocky/lwjgl/native/linux/liblwjgl.so: /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-armhf/jre/bin/../lib/arm/libjawt.so: symbol awt_Unlock, version SUNWprivate_1.1 n...

Point taken on WiFi. If this was my set up, I would be looking for a solution that would not involve my phone. Let's say the OP is driving along the road in his truck listening to some music on his Pi when his phone rings, he is going to want to pause the music before answering the phone, hands free...

Any OS will do, but I would just use raspbmc +wifi + iphone/android app + not write a line of code. If you really want buttons you could use usb or gpio but you will need to learn to program first. I don't think the WiFi is an option as the set up is in a truck!!. Perhaps a remote control may be an...

Possible workaround:- Use a very thin PCB with the correct track pitch. The connector is usually about 1mm inside and should happily accept a small board, as long as you don't force it. If too thick carefully sand down until it fits. This idea was contributed by Phil P. Hope this helps, -A I really...

andyhorn

Thanks for the offer, I may just take you up on that. The main problem I have is the G5 TDMS cable has a different package to mount it to the Logic board, it has all it's wires soldered to a connector, the G4 mod in the link I posted earlier use's a small connector for each wire, sounds like it is a...

Is Koenkk Bill Gates in disguise?

andyhorn

I have tried all three, but I will not be using XBian in the future due the issues that Sam is claiming, if these allegations are true and XBian have "borrowed" Sam's installer then they should do the honourable thing and publicly announce this, along with an apology to Sam. For the moment I have se...

[quoteJust purchased a LCD logic converter from Ebay and a 5 wire touch sensitive screen to go with. This allows you to connect virtually any old laptop monitor/screen to your RPi via DVI or VGA. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271030306557? ... 906wt_1140 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271016141526? ... 161wt...

This may be of interest to you http://blog.shewu.me/2010/11/hacking-apple-studio-display.html I found this when searching for a solution to using my old iMac G5 screen as a display for my Pi. I have just thought of a name for Raspberry Pi/iMac project PiMac!!, probably get in to hot water off Apple ...

pi-droid is available

Andy

I have just checked RS for availability and they are claiming 19 weeks for dispatch, which seems quite a along time, near enough 5 months.

Andy

andyhorn

Ahh, but if you order another Pi (you can't have too much Pi

) and 2 cases then all you will pay is £4.95 shipping for the lot, then you can have your Pi and eat it

I do agree that RS's shipping is a little steep for 1 case.

Thanks Will, I had no idea that Opera was closed source, please excuse my ignorance.

Slightly off topic but I feel it is relevant. Has anyone had a go at porting Opera mini for the Pi?, it runs on most cell/mobile phones that no doubt have ARM architecture. This is all beyond my capabilities, I am a bit of a noob on the porting or programming front, just a simple Pi user. Andy. BTW ...

andyhorn

This is great, the only issue I have had so far is that it hangs slightly when selecting items from the menu's, it also play's some of my AVI's, not sure if it play's them all, not had time to test them all.

andyhorn

Yay I have just ordered my Pi from RS, happy days

andyhorn

Yes I know Windows will not run on the Pi, but this may well run on the Pi with some work as I believe that there is an ARM port of ReactOS.

BTW not sure if this is the right place to post this.

Signed and linked to the e-petition on FaceBook and G+.

@Liz

Any idea how much the cases are likely cost?, ball park figure.

Cheers

I believe that the team over at XBMC are trying to port XBMC so it will run on the Raspi.

If they achieve the port then you should be able use an iOS or Android device as a remote control.

Hello all.

I'm Andy form the North East of England.

Been following this project for a few weeks now, I am trying to get my local school to have a look at the Rasp PI.

I can't wait to get my hands on one, I love tinkering around with Linux.

Cheers
