Thanks very much for that.

madtom1999

I updated my post as you answered it!
Thanks

madtom1999

Thanks for those. Is the pi0 the zero or an earlier pi?
Can we get something from the board itself to tell us what it is to match to the switches?

madtom1999

Is there anywhere there is a list of (raspbian) compiler switches suitable for maximum performance or possible optimisations for each version of the pi? These would be really helpful for a lot of us for getting other packages working.

Now the Pi3 etc can boot from mass storage devices I would imagine swap will be fun. I have a USB drive on order and will stick a 4G swap on it. I dont anticipate using the swap much but I do do some large jobs from time to time that fail on the Pi.

Ah worked it out. In a terminal: sudo adduser temp fill in details as reqd You then need to log in as temp and go into LXDE destop so it creates the default panels file you may need to sudo raspi-config so you can login as temp then login to your normal user and copy the new one over sudo cp /home/t...

And ifr you havent got a working machine to copy from?

Using a Pi3 to play with music synthesis with jackd. The sound quality from qsynth/fluidsynth is appalling for some reason. I can get good sound quality from timidity and using a2jmidid to create the jack connections but a2jmidid complains it cant do realtime on the timidity and while the setup most...

I use a zero from a hub/power supply and plug in a Guitar Link USB sound card (16 bit in/out) cost about £5 from ebay.
Good enough for MP3 playing and even recording!

Not really a recent issue but in #1 there is a link to http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/educat ... on-lessons which no longer works.

covers this.

Is this likely to affect the organisations plans?

Trying to run AMS with an up to date Raspbian on a zero - it wont run without jack which is a bit silly! How do I report a bug?

madtom1999

OK - the basic raspbian comes with Jack and Jack2 installed. QjackCtl is, by default, configured to launch jackd (not jack2) which it does successfully and is easy to manage from the QjackCtl gui interface. The raspbian version of a2jmidid is compiled to run on jack2 and if this is launched by hand ...

madtom1999

Seems a2jmidid on the Pi only works with Jack2

madtom1999

I have used Qjackctl and several programs (Calf plugin pack, Aeolus, Zynaddsubfc and Yoshimi )to create music quite happily using JACK Keyboard etc -all playing happily through a cheap 16bit USB guitar adaptor to produce the sound. The Pi2 has the potential to be a great music device - However I can...

madtom1999

I cannot get a2jmidid to work at all. It runs in the console but connecting to it in qjackctrl crashes jack.

madtom1999

Run qjackctl, tested with Calf etc - so thats OK
run tuxguitar - set it to use any configuration of jack. No connection for tuxguitar appears in the connections window.

madtom1999

I have run Tuxguitar successfully using Timidity but I cant get it running with jackd.
Has anyone had any success here?

madtom1999

I've got the new touchscreen and I wanted to do some programming so in /boot/config.txt set display_default_lcd=0 but it still uses the touchscreen.

madtom1999

Got the new touchscreen and have mounted it in the box it came in with a USB power charger and wireless keyboard/touchpad so I can go mobile.
In the raspbian gui however it is not possible to configure networking as the buttons are off the bottom of the screen!!
Any ideas?

madtom1999

Third time lucky.
Seems to be OK now

madtom1999

Got a new touchscreen today. Installed it as per the instruction video (twice).
Pi boots but the screen remains resolutely blank. I can power the Pi through the adaptor card.
Any clues on how to debug this?

madtom1999

Doh!
The problem was I'd dd'ed to sdb1 (that being what mount mentioned) rather than to sdb as I should have.
staring me in the face all along but couldn't see it!
