Eye of Gnome supports the functionality you're looking for. Once it's loaded, and you've opened one of the images in the directory, you can simply hit F5 and it will launch into a slideshow mode with arrow keys available should you wish to use them. The package name under Debian is "eog", so instal...

Do the following other options detailed here work for you?

Moving to the Media Centres and Gaming forum, your question should get more attention here.

stevepdp

You will need to get in contact with the seller you purchased the Pi and accessories from.

There are already plenty of topics out there discussing why Flash and Skype on the Raspberry Pi is unlikely, see this post for example. Support for Flash and Skype on the Raspberry Pi is in high demand, but due to their proprietary nature we are entirely dependent on their creators Adobe and Microso...

Once signed in, hit your username or click here to visit the User Control Panel.

From there, click Board Preferences tab and on the Edit Global Settings tab you'll see a drop-down option called "My board style". Simply swap raspbite for prosilver and hit submit.

The nature of the wiki is that anybody can make changes to it.

Create an account at elinux, and make the changes to this page.

Be sure to preview the changes first before making them live, just in case something breaks

stevepdp

There's actually a package of demo code containing a terminal based Snake game which you download here . It might look a little overwhelming at first, but try and make some small changes to it. A lot of professional programming is like this, where you work on making small changes to large projects.

I would definitely recommend checking out The Mag-Pi magazine. It features listings every month covering languages such as Scratch, Python and more recently C. If you like the listings style of learning, then I would also recommend the books in the Learn Code The Hard Way series and if you're intere...

This Xbox 360 USB controller thread may be of interest to you.

There's also quite a bit of buzz around the Snes emulator project which uses a Snes pad modified to run via the GPIO pins.

Moved to the Arch forum, your post should get more attention there

For a long time, RS honoured the first come first serve and 1 order per person rules for ordering a Pi. I believe they still do as much as they're able to. Perhaps there was a problem with your registration of interest or something else? We're aware that some users using gmail around that time (myse...

Thank you obarthelemy for the help :) . However, i do not understand what you mean by "2- http://elinux.org/RPi_Debian_Auto_Login, but put in your line instead of startx" so do i have to keep typing the "sudo line" everytime instead of startx once i follow the tutorial you have given? He means edit...

There are at least three RS reps generously offering their time answering queries in this thread.

Please read through what's there, and ask there. Hopefully Mike or somebody will be able to look into your case.

This has been discussed before here.

The chaps from the Linux Action Show have posted their first look at the Raspberry Pi (starts at 41:00)

Overall a very positive opinion of the Pi, and plenty of interesting project ideas.

The 360 pad works very well with Linux generally. I've been using one recently for example to play Super Meat Boy under Ubuntu :-) With regards to getting the 360 pad to work with the Pi though, I understand that it requires 5v 450mA which is too much for the Pi's USB ports. Without some heavy modif...

stevepdp

You can find a pretty large list of confirmed working power supplies here, many of which fall into the 5v 1000mA range

stevepdp

This is what Hexxeh's rpi-update provides. Installation instructions can be found here.

Pleased to hear you're up and running with Wheezy

stevepdp

The SSH issue is a known bug, and I imagine it will be fixed in time for the final release. There’s at least one errata: I managed to break the the ssh enable/disable option in raspi-config (use ctrl-c if you select it to get back). sshd is enabled by default, and you can disable it with `sudo updat...

I find it hard to not just suspend but totally warp my disbelief such that a character who I've seen die in battle and get resurrected over and over again should somehow have me crying my eyes out when they get stabbed in a cut-scene. Aeris' death scene is highly regarded as an industry changing mo...

stevepdp

Please search in the future, as this has been covered many times in the past.

But to answer your question. Yes, you can use the Kindle's 5v 0.85mA charger to power the Pi. I do so myself on occasion

that is all

I know how that feels

The "squeeze" in our Debian reference image doesn't mean Debian squeezed or limited Debian, squeeze is simply a Debian development codename referring to this guy:

See this post at the Debian wiki for more details.

stevepdp

Also, to answer your original question, you can fetch the rpi-update tool from Hexxeh. Run it, and it will pull down the rest of the data.

I still however recommend taking the beta image for a spin when you have the time

Good luck
