On first boot raspi-config is started and lets you choose to automatically expand the partition to the full disk size. It's then resized on next boot (and may take some time).

I'm not using Raspbmc but as I understand it's a Debian system 'under the hood', so you should be able to install fail2ban. Fail2ban does exactly what you want. It scans several logfiles on the system periodically and recognizes failed login attempts, parses the ip address and blocks it for a certai...

We got some German docu here, too: http://raspberrycenter.de/handbuch/debian-6-squeeze-grundinstallation And I'm aware of the Wheezy stuff, but it's still beta, you cannot find it here on the official download site and there's quite a number of reports about problems with the config tool. We know it...

Just al little hint for all you diligent distro builders: It would be really cool if you could unify username and password in Pi land (something like pi / pi, easy to type, easy to remember even if not secure), so people (a lots make their first steps in Pi and Linux land) don't get confused with al...

It's a well-known bug this alpha has since day one.

The L2 isn't split. Don't think of the BCM as a ARM core with GPU. It's the other way around. The L2 belongs to the GPU and may be made available to the ARM core as well, but the path is rather long and if you do graphics intense stuff you'll shoot yourself in the foot.

I think the ROM FS is long gone. If you click over the 'Apps' icon you will see the 'Resources:apps' folder and clicking with adjust over the close icon will show the 'Resources:' filing system. When building a ROM, extra files can be included in here quite simply. Is there some kind of Howto somew...

Works for me. Keep up the good work!

Thank also for the image! Felt really great to have it running. The speed is really impressing given the fact it is not using acceleration and compared to LXDE. Of course it is buggy. The cursor leaves traces, programs crash and I have to try a couple of times in a row until it will boot. But it's a...

Any benchmark is good as long as you know what exactly you are measuring. As people already said, glxgears is software-ony and the X driver isn't optimized, either. So this benchmarks is some kind of a simple real world benchmark for completely unaccelerated 3D. Low-level benchmarks may reveal the p...

It doesn't make sense to attach a heatsink to something that doesn't get too warm. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Who says nothing will be opened up once there is no secret worth keeping anymore and no contracts handcuffing Broadcom? Just be honest and say that you were not the first to know the answer to life, the universe and anything.. I'm more concerned on what I can do right now with the Pi and not what I ...

It all comes down to priorities and before making something nice, better make it work.

BTW, a command line is also not a thing of beauty.

AlArenal

The real problem is when the hardware goes into EOL and all support from broadcom will vanish and users are stuck with binaries that will break with other open source software (i.e kernel and X) that continues to advance. So it all comes down to the real problem being a problem of many ifs that lie...

May I ask why you bought one in the first place? Do you tend to buy stuff you have no idea what to use it for?

AlArenal

Ah, good idea, thx! I didn't realize I can change the theme.

@JamesH

I'm not an expert in this, but isn't what you tell about BC's perspective on why to keep things secret like if you said anyone could make their own similarly energy efficient ARM core clone just by looking at the architecture reference manual?
Is reverse engineering really that "easy"?

Hi there! While I really like the new forums I notice the absence of a breadcrumb. When you are browsing a thread there is no way to get back to the topic list other than the browser's back button. A good navigation should never rely on such browser functions. And if I browsed all the way through th...

I think the better way would be if distribution maintainers / developers programmed a setup tool that launches on first startup (in text mode) to allow people to do some basic settings like keyboard layout, language, startup mode, screen resolution, network settings, etc.

AlArenal

I agree with the implication that this is less than ideal for education. It's especially bad in that any problems that are found in code that touches the closed hardware cannot be fixed by the open community, nor can improvements be made except under NDAs with a single company. That's bad on multip...

The programmer arrives home from the supermarket with six packs of milk and says:

C++ is not very similar to Objective-C. ObjC ist simple, lean and elegant. C++ is a beast

Besides both sitting on top of Ansi-C their designs don't look too similar. It's like comparing Java to Smalltalk, though Gosling borrowed some ideas from Smalltalk when he created Java.

I also want to log the data on a round-robin basis so that it never gets full i.e. oldest data is overwritten when a preset size is reached. Does SQLite or the Python bindings have any built in mechanism for this? Just delete the oldest row in your table when you consider it is "full" and you are a...

Now see todays GUI's, like the i-pad and the new win8 who was "crazy" ?. I consider Windows 8 "crazy" as it tries to force people to work on their pc like it's a tablet which is just not. Regarding assembler, I never did too much with it. Did some x86 ages ago but every time I read articles about o...

Runs locally on the RPi as part of the application, not on a server Depends a bit on what exactly you mean by that. The aforementioned MySQL is an external software, a server, that of course can run on the Pi beside your app. What people sometimes get wrong is the word "server" which just stands fo...
