..and removes the usb stick too soon.

There's just no helping some Windoze lusers

@asb.
I did wonder but didn't want to nag.

Hope that you're feeling better and up to the challenge.

This latest release is super, compared to the non-QT one that I had previously tried and the clone OS is an exceptionally great feature. [My normal manual additions to config.txt made screens easier to see.] However, the popup dialog OS chooser doesn't work with SDTV - the bottom button(s) is not vi...

10.0.2.2 is the default gateway used in Qemu.
As your vm starts up, look out for the DHCP messages, or
"sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" will display the DHCP assignments: I got a DHCPOFFER from 10.0.2.2, which gave me the clue to try that for the nameserver.

ejsolutions

With the previous release, I had manually added the non-foundation raspbian image, no problems. I intend to setup the new version with almost exclusively my own choice of distros, with no use of a USB stick required. This was all explained on the website and I had raspbian as a compressed image too ...

ejsolutions

This is a great addition to the Pi armoury. Thanks!

ejsolutions

Well, I'm sorted out, using "user mode" networking.
Set /etc/resolv.conf nameserver to 10.0.2.2 instead of 10.0.2.3
Change /etc/apt/sources.list to the mirrordirector.raspbian.org site and everything gets updated fine - or so it appears.

I meant TAP, of course.

ejsolutions

Took me a while to figure it out and I only use the basic networking (no TUN), due to wireless connectivity. Here's the command line, that I save in a shell script, called rpi.sh qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -cpu arm1136 -m 192 -kernel raspbian/vmlinuz-2.6.32-qemu-armv6 -initrd raspbian/initrd.img...

Well, I have it up and running but get an initial dialogue box showing an error with dbus authentication - agent already running. It's late here, so that'll wait for another day. At least I now know how to install, if not configure.

ejsolutions

Meantime, I've added deb http://archive.raspbian.org/mate wheezy main , ready to break one of my running systems.

ejsolutions

My image build scripts, spindle are designed to make it easy to generate multiple outputs with different customisation but the same base config. I'd be happy to take a look at spitting out a MATE image this weekend, which you could evaluate as a more maintainable way of producing these images. Soun...

ejsolutions

I'm beginning a non-Pi project that will start consuming my extra time. I think the MATE packages are in pretty good shape and they should work find if installed on the Foundation Raspbian image. Are there other things should should be done? I'm talking about the packages rather than the Pisces+MAT...

ejsolutions

Presumably Pisces images are effectively obsolete now that the official Raspbian image is available - might be an idea to reflect this on the Raspbian site. @Mike: It's likely that you're involved in many other things but is MATE finding any time in your busy life? Perhaps an update, if only to refl...

As will the Pi in its' current incarnation, given the fiasco of faulty/ill-conceived USB and PSU pickiness.
[I had made an enquiry/suggestion some time back, as to whether wicd/network-manager should be included by default.]

ejsolutions

sudo apt-get install wicd
[Not hidden - it's mentioned elsewhere on the forum, though information is getting increasingly disjointed.

]
Note: network-manager is also an option, though LAN is relatively easy to configure in CLI and wicd seems more efficient at wireless, in my experience.

ejsolutions

On the subject of sshd, I reckon it should start later in the sequence, to allow wireless networks some further time to negotiate a connection. Given that it's a 'supplementary' service, there's no reason for it not to start as late as possible and might also allow ntp to "do its' stuff". Just musin...

Having trouble downloading from the direct link - it cancelled mid-way through. Trying the torrent (7 peers at the moment.)

Hi,
I've replicated it here:

Hope that helps.

ejsolutions

Okay so I've searched through these forums trying to find my problems but the simple fact is I don't know my problems are. I have an old TV in my attic which accepts, what I'm pretty sure is RCA, so I connected it to my RPi. What I got the first time was a slight buzz so I swapped the two cables. T...

Likewise. Thanks.

ejsolutions

Initial impressions. Looking pretty polished so far. :) I like the startup going to raspi-config, though wonder if a short explanation to use tab, arrows, enter might be useful. Some great options are included in there. I notice the use of a swapfile. ;) I notice the inclusion of both Midori and Dil...

ejsolutions

Thanks. Downloading now and will try later..
