What type of uSDHC card writer are you using on your PC? (ie. built-in or external USB - some built-in ones** are not fully SDHC compatible and that may not "show up" until the file size is >4Gb, IIRC). Trev. **SDHC requiring a uSDHC to SDHC adapter I bought it from Maplins and it just says "Integr...

So, you also unmount before the dd? And when you say the boot fails after this process, you mean that after reading the card with dd, and not after reading and making an image and restoring that same image? In other words, when you do in fact restore that image, the image works, but the act of crea...

No, I'm trying to make an image file of the SD card.

I didn't make it clear, but when I issue the command "dd bs=4M if=/dev/sdc of=raspbian.img", it's from the destination directory on the PC.

i.e. "user@system/dir:~$ dd bs=4M if=/dev/sdc of=raspbian.img"

I realise that this is a common issue, but my problem seems to be a bit different. I've never had any card corruption while booting, using or shutting down my Pi. The corruption has only happened when I've been backing-up the card . To back up, I plug the card into an adaptor (brand name "Integral")...

Thanks. I just tried Bluefish but it seems to be a text editor with a "preview in browser" option. That's not really the same thing.

Are there any visual (i.e. what we used to call WYSIWYG) editors available now that Iceape has retired?

I recently managed to blow up my Pi (my fault) and I'm rebuilding. Previously, I was using a great visual HTML editor called Iceape, but apt-get can't seem to find it now. Is it still available? If not, is there another visual editor available? For the sake of clarity and brevity, please note that t...

That sorted it. Thanks.

Has anyone managed to get UK spell checking and auto-spell checking working in LibreOffice on Raspbian?

The online solutions seem seem to relate to other OS (most are for Ubuntu) or they refer to menu items that don't seem to exist.

So I went to Maplins and asked for a wireless adaptor that works with a Raspberry Pi. Apparently, the one I got can be made to work after a lot of fiddling. That's not what I want. This page (http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters) lists a number of adapters that are described as "preinstalled", b...
