Yes, or evacuate the workshop of all other living beings and wear breathing apparatus.

I'll let you off, just this ounce.

And a miniscule reminder to W. H. Heydt, 700MHz, not 700Mhz.

One possible workaround is to always create a backup image to the next size card down, assuming that its capacity is great enough to hold the entire occupied file space of the original. For example, my main Raspbian Jessie install is on a 32GB card, but actually occupies under 8GB of that, so it's p...

Nobody, as the use or distribution of most ROMs is illegal in most countries. Google is your friend.

The Pi 3's GPU has higher clock frequencies 300 MHz and 400 MHz of different parts that in previous versions ran at 250 MHz... Would this make it possible to reach higher framerates than the former raspberries? Maybe, but there's nothing stopping a person trying the same or even higher clock freque...

I know that one of you guys disabled PVT automatically via rpi-update recently if the RAM clock was => 500MHz to help with RAM overclocking. I guess this still applies to the BCM2387 as someone has reported using the special schmoo sauce to get the RAM on his Pi3B up to 600MHz already. I don't know ...

For future reference, you can click on 'Code' when composing a post and put the contents of logs between them. It's more likely that someone will read this rather than open an anonymous zip file. Have you tried again? The servers have probably been extremely busy since the Pi3B launched only a few d...

Can you solder, or are you looking for more of a 'plug-and-play' solution?

GTR2Fan

Have you expanded the filesystem? It's the first thing you should do after installing standalone Raspbian. If you don't then you can quickly run out of available space leaving insufficient room for the desktop to launch. It's the first option in raspi-config.

The introduction says that it needs at least 2.5A@5V However, I get only a 1.5A cellphone charger… will it works fine? Doubtful on two counts... 1/ 1.5A is obviously a long way short of 2.5A. 2/ A charger isn't necessarily designed to be a power supply. Another question is that if I got a 2.5A@5V a...

I can report back that the issues you've fixed are, erm, fixed. This just leaves the 'dying' issue to be fixed then I'll be using this full time. Thank you.

Shipping is also fairly expensive here. This is about as big as you can go without overhanging other components. I guess the shipping price to Norway will show for you when you look at the link... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121655033206?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&var=420653393693&ssPageName=STRK%3...

Roughly where in the world are you? Even if you do need a heatsink, a suitable one can be had for well under $2US.

What I can't do is run something like the WD My Passport terabyte level drives, without a powered hub or backpowering thru a passive hub. Why not? Do they push your Pi2B over the limit with... max_usb_current=1 ...in your config.txt file? I believe the same should still work for a Pi3B, although a ...

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

... is all you should ever normally need.

GTR2Fan

Please don't encourage others to try using rpi-update unless it's known to offer a specific fix for a specific problem. Its use is discouraged as it's not part of a standard update and all it brings to an otherwise fully updated install is experimental patches that may break other things.

Or use Raspbian's native browser Epiphany for Youtube, and Chromium 48 for everything else.

GTR2Fan

The use of rpi-update has always been discouraged unless you want to try new experimental features with the accompanying risks that entails. It's not a part of the standard update process and never has been.

...how much would a Raspberry Pi 3 with 4 GB of RAM cost? If that's just not possible without crazy reworking of the board because it won't fit on the SOC, how about 2GB? I'd totally be willing to pay above the $35 price point for either of those higher RAM models. 1GB is the limit with the current...

Have you informed the supplier that it doesn't fit properly? Telling us here is obviously helpful, but telling the supplier could lead to a fix that benefits all future purchasers.
