Very timely article in MagPi68!
Unfortunately WILL NOT WORK on Pi3B+, and there is no warning.
Which makes the MagPi article even more out-of-touch.fruitoftheloom wrote: ↑Fri Mar 30, 2018 6:05 am

I'd guess the article was written in the middle of February before the 3B+ was generally available and the person writing it couldn't possibly know it wouldn't work on a 3B+.Milliways wrote: ↑Fri Mar 30, 2018 6:19 amWhich makes the MagPi article even more out-of-touch.fruitoftheloom wrote: ↑Fri Mar 30, 2018 6:05 amThis has been extensively discussed:

I might agree if the author hadn't stated "especially with the new faster Raspberry Pi 3B+".DougieLawson wrote: ↑Fri Mar 30, 2018 7:37 amI'd guess the article was written in the middle of February before the 3B+ was generally available and the person writing it couldn't possibly know it wouldn't work on a 3B+.Milliways wrote: ↑Fri Mar 30, 2018 6:19 amWhich makes the MagPi article even more out-of-touch.fruitoftheloom wrote: ↑Fri Mar 30, 2018 6:05 amThis has been extensively discussed:

That's journalism for you - always "out of touch".
yeah, the journo probably knew the 3B+ existed, but forgot that it would take a couple of weeks to get it updated for the newer PI (as always happens).I might agree if the author hadn't stated "especially with the new faster Raspberry Pi 3B+".
It hasn't been updated in over a year! The downloadable image is 2 system updates behind latest Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTSmahjongg wrote: ↑Fri Mar 30, 2018 9:14 amWait a couple of weeks until the Mate Ubuntu maintainers have written the code to fix it.
