My PC is not on Win10 - it is on Win 7. I went to Turn on Windows Features and there was no setting for SMB in any way. I have used this computer to connect to RaspPi networks in the past with older Raspbian OS version. ( I know Win 7 is no longer supported - there is too much software we rely on th...

I was going to post this to beginner but thought I should post this here first. I am pretty much still a NOOB when it comes to Raspberry Pi. I just installed Buster. The Pi is connected to my local network switch with an Ethernet cable. Internet works. Samba has allowed me to show the PI as a comput...

Went to the reddit- found how to install pepper flash. Unfortunately for me this is beyond my current skill level. Hopefully with a future update or release the pepper flash add on will be pre-installed/enabled and the start up screen problem will be fixed (I did not even know that was a problem unt...

Thank you!!!

I have just installed the new Chrome OS for the Raspberry Pi on my Pi2 B. It works fine. The only thing that I have not been able to get to work is Flash on the Chrome browser. When checking for Flash it comes up that it is installed but disabled. Trying to follow what I can find about enabling it f...

Wonderful! Thank you so much!!! This is exactly what I wanted and it is perfect. No more eye strain!

Again, Thank you!

I saw that response and it is not what I am asking. I know - as said - that I can go through the config file for Raspbian - but I don't want to touch that. Other software running on Raspbian each have a way to increase the size of the text and/or interface to be able to see it with limited vision. T...

I am running Scratch on Raspbian Jessie. The screen resolution is fine for most things but the text on the Scratch menus is minuscule as is the text on the programming blocks. Scratch increased to full screen is no better - and Raspbian does not let one change monitor resolution on the fly - it requ...

I know how to change the monitor display resolution by editing the config file, but I am looking for a fast way to do this so that I can go easily and quickly back and forth between two resolutions. The setting that it runs on is fine for most things, but using Scratch, the program text is so small ...

I am glad that I stopped over here to see that I am not the only one that was having this problem. Using sudo raspi-config worked for me - reboot and all is well. I only wish that there was a setting for a Generic US Querty Keyboard. I have no idea which one to choose - picked US with alternative in...

The nice thing about the RaspPi is that you can have multiple OS's for the price of an SD card or running multiple through NOOBs on one card. For the RaspPi 2 I find that Ubuntu Mate 15.04 runs the fastest and it is designed to work with the Pi2's ARM7 best. If you have never used Linux before start...

The browsers in Raspbian are very slow. Try Ubuntu Mate 15.04 which takes advantage of the improvements in the Pi2 and has regular Firefox included. It runs much faster and Firefox runs much better than Iceweasal, Chrome, or the stock browser in Raspbian.

A Class 10 card reads and writes faster. It works just fine. I only use Class 10 cards.

What is the best browser for Raspbian? Ice Weasel is slow and takes a long time to load webpages. The stock browser that is included with Raspbian is faster but it loads some full websites as mobile sites. There must be a better browser. Any suggestions?

1775

I have been trying different OSs on my Raspberry Pi2 B. I have found that the Ubuntu Mate 15.04 OS seems to be running faster and software is more responsive than when I have Raspbian installed. I particularly notice a big difference between Firefox on Ubuntu and the Raspbian supplied browser or Ice...

Ubunto Mate 15.04 is the Ubuntu distribution with a GUI featured on this RaspPi.org website and those trying it are finding it preferable to Raspbian - at least those on the forum dedicated to this distro on its creator's site. BUT the problem is that it creates some problems for those with the Rasp...

Get Ubuntu Mate fully installed - which you already have done. Now follow the instructions on the link given in the response above to Resize File System using fdisk. Do it from the Ubuntu terminal and you will now have all of the available space on your 32 gb SD card. Look in the Caja file manager a...

Installing Ubuntu Mate seems to be getting popular with the ability of Raspberry Pi 2 able to run it. It would be great if this distro had its own forum here. While the Ubuntu Mate website has its own forum that can be helpful. Ubuntu Mate on a RaspPi 2B has a lot of its own quirks that need to be r...

This is great. Thank you! Is there some reference that shows these additions to rtb such as the -f, etc.? The screen is great - the font is small - is there also a command to force that to large from "standard"? I have the RTB manual but nothing like this in that. man <command> gets you help for an...

I guess you're running it in X windows, not from the console? The console automatically runs fullscreen... If under X windows, the window it opens isn't resizable on the fly (as you've found), but you can set it to fill the screen when you start it up (it uses 640 x 480 by default) so specify the w...

1775

Thank you. Going from large to small may be more important to start with - but it is good to know it is possible to do this in both directions. A tutorial would be nice. I am not confident enough with partition manipulation - and I guess this needs to be done on the actual card the image is on and n...

I followed those intructiona and similarly founr rtb wasn't installed, they key is you have to run the install again after sudo apt-get -f install : cd /tmp sudo dpkg -i rtb-2.20-1.deb Yes, thank you. I just discovered that myself when I looked for installed software and it was not listed. I have i...

Did you use this method for RTB Basic? https://projects.drogon.net/rtb/rtb-download-and-install/ Yes - I tried that - followed it exactly. First line went fine - cd /tmp , The second line (wget) results in a message that says I do not have permission to access and that I do not have permission to w...

Is there a way to take a image backup of one of the Rasp Pi OSs that is installed and working and install that on a micro SD card that is not the same size. For example - Raspbian installed on a 32gb card moved and installed to an 8gb card. Or Ubunto Mate installed on an 8 gb card and moved to a 32g...

1775

Just had a quick play around and I can't for the life of me figure out a way to do it through the GUI. I swear previous versions of RISC OS allowed this, although I've just booted up 4.02 and I still can't find a way to change the system font size. !MiscSetup by the late Paul Vigay should do the tr...
