Are there any cooling topics you don't immediately pitch up in and start dumping over in your typically snidely, arrogant and condescending fashion? I don't think I've seen any recently. How about giving it a rest for a bit?

Give me a specific icon you want to change, and I will walk you through it.

That isnt how you do it.MartinPi wrote:That was by right clicking on the application, viewing its properties, selecting the picture and going through the icon selecter window. It changes it in the preview but then doesn't do it system wide and when I review the properties it's back to normal.

Re: How to change icons?
How can I change all of the icons of Raspbian? Rather than changing them one at a time? Rename existing raspitr.png image, and then load a custom image and name it 'raspitr.png' ditto for 'raspberry-pi-logo.png' This is their location: /usr/share/raspberrypi-artwork/ to gain root access to file and...

Re: Can't get my new Raspberry Pi to boot
DO NOT do 'dist-upgrade You keep saying this, but I don't understand why. Have you had a bad experience of dist-upgrade on another system? On Raspbian it should be fine to run it instead of plain upgrade. It is nothing like the rpi-update (there is no "raspi-update" command). opps. i meant 'rpi". Y...

Re: Raspberry Pi 3: Extreme Passive Cooling
At the end of all of this, my Pi went from thermally throttling at 82c, to never going above 37c even at max load, without need of a fan! Well worth the effort. What does "max load" mean? Actually test it by really putting a full cpu load on the Pi (100% all cores), then report your temps ;) SO YOU...

Make sure it is set for unlimited, other than that two things determine the speed: edit/preferences/bandwidth/ (upload & download " -1 " = unlimited ) 1. How many seeders and their broadband upload speeds. If the torrent has only a handful (or none) then it will take forever. Find a torrent with lot...

First, you may get the capacity you need by 'cleaning' the sdcard, if not see below. To clean, open command prompt as admin (in search, type cmd ) type diskpart (then enter to execute each command), then type list disk , then select your disk...if it is disk 2, you type select disk 2 , then type cle...

It's ~1.4GB so will fit fully on your 2GB card.

No. HDMI or DVI. VGA requires a special component to work. Try your HDTV via HDMI instead.Tried plugging it into an old monitor with an analogue cable (I am correct in saying this can be done?)

That is what you get when you buy a slow as molasses Pi2. What were you expecting?
If you wanted something that would function as a decent desktop, you should have went with a Pi3 and overclocked it.
