Re: Install New Programs: Which Installer?

I want to be sure it won't turn off or something
You don't need any power management tool for that (at least not on Raspbian). It will not shut itself down, and since the power consumption is almost negligible I wouldn't bother installing any power management tool.

Re: Install New Programs: Which Installer?

Assuming you're using a Raspbian distro you can use 'apt-get install' to install programs. You can also use 'apt-cache search' to see if programs are available for the Pi. For example: sudo apt-get update apt-cache search pysol shows you that Pysolfc is available in the Raspbian repo (if I interpret...

Re: missing raspi-config

That's odd. Are you sure you're using one of the Raspbian distros?

I think you should be able to install it with

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install raspi-config

Re: 64-bit toolchain

Just out of interest, how much performance gain do you get running a 64bit compiler vs the 32 bit one? As a percentage improvement in time to compile.

I had a quick look at the script and I'm wondering if you still need the GUI after the first run (that's when you authorise the script to use dropbox).

Re: Cannot Execute wget

A *.deb is a debian package. It is not an executable. To install, first install gdebi to avoid dependency issues that can occur with a local *.deb install with apt-get. You don't need the gui stuff, so 'gdebi-core' should be enough. sudo apt-get install gdebi-core sudo gdebi advancemame-raspberrypi...

I would say that it's even easier to make your own backup image, which saves you the time of re-configuring your installation.

There was a problem with the first PDF that was available and the MagPi people uploaded a new one.
If the size is more than 30MB you have the faulty one (which btw displays fine on my Fire HD).
