Re: Progress? (Long)

 

Hi John,

I am using the Debian wheezy image and found the screen to small



This shows settings for the configuration file
I plugged my card into windows machine and edited with programmer's file editor which recognise linux end of line unlike notepad.

Select a lower resolution for larger text and try different settings to get a full screen.

If you want more on this I'll post my file so you can see the changes I made. I assume these settings are valid for various versions of the operating system not just debian.

Just a few lines to tell you what I'm up to.

Back at home I tried using it with the HDMI input on our oldish LCD TV. It isn't?Full HD?and the text at start-up is incredibly small and hard to read. When the desktop appears the icons are small, too. Connecting the same TV via the phono socket the text and icons are a reasonable size, but the bottom of the?picture is lost ("off the screen"). This makes playing some of the Python games impossible.?I was able to browse the web, though. I've also downloaded Geany, Python and Xterm following the instructions on a YouTube tutorial.

Wireless Adapter not regnonized

Donald
 

According to: ...the wireless USB Adapter D-Link DWA-131 is compatiblem with the Rasp PI. Here is what the above website says about it:

DWA-131 USB ID 07d1:3303,Realtek RTL8192SU, 802.11n Wireless N Nano. Works out of the box on Raspbian "wheezy". Verified with direct USB : no powered USB hub needed. Also verified when Nano used in powered USB hub. Someone had trouble configuring SSID/Passphrase in etc/network/interfaces file. But no problem & very easy to configure using wicd : wicd is a gui interface on LXDE for network configuration. Install it using command-line : apt-get install wicd. Once configured ith wicd to auto-run on boot, no need to turn back to LXDE. Recommended.

I install wicd but no sure what to do next. How do I configure it with wicd?

I did an rpi-update followed by apt-get update.? When I plug in the Microsoft RF keyboard all I get is a constant stream of resets on high speed USB port.? Whatever has been touched, it changed the symptoms.

The current release 2012-08-16-wheezy-raspbian is a good basis but the latest firmware update is essetial. If you have not run "rpi-update" you will need to. This utility updates the firmware and related files. If you do not have the utility installed you can get instructions from The latest firmware seems to cure almost all my USB problems. I can now get all my sound devices, powered hubs and keyboards working without errors (except when RF gets into the USB cables). You still need to do the apt-get udate and apt-get upgrade afterwards to make sure your software is up to date.

Hello I have just downloaded the wheezy-raspbian.zip using my Window 7 machine. I unzipped it and copied it to my SD 4 GB card using Win32DiskImager. I was surprise to see the Raspberry Pi load up! My first try! My monitor had a DVI connector, so I had to purchase a DVI to HMDI adapter. I also have connected to my large flat Samsung TV. This is were I would like to keep it. I now want to purchase a WIFI dongle and a wireless keyboard and mouse. I would like advise as to which make and model of dongle, keyboard and mouse that will work with the Raspberry.

Thanks for the advice.? It works FB on Ubuntu on a portable.? I’ll check the firmware again but I believe it is current.? I don’t like to sound negative but I have not had good luck downloading rpi-update from the webpage.? I found it in other releases so it isn’t a problem.? I tried the 08-16 wheezy and it does not reset the USB port but my RF keyboard still is unusable due to repeat keying.

It was no great surprise that it doesn't play well. This isn't about that
particular problem but it sets the context for the following. I keep

Jerry,

I went ahead right after I sent the email and started the database in the database area of the Raspberry_Pi_4-Ham_RADIO Group:


Any member of the group can edit or add new records to the database.? I encourage all members to add Ham Radio application as they try them, whether they are successful or not.

All,

I'm new to the group, but I would like to suggest beginning a database of ham radio applications for the Raspberry_Pi_4-Ham_RADIO Group. The database could contain information on various applications that have successfully or unsuccessfully been ported to or installed on the Raspberry Pi platform.

Application - Name of the application
Type - A descriptor of the application (Satellite, RTTY, JT65, etc.)
Website - URL of the application
OS - Flavor of OS & Version (Debian Wheezy, Android 4.0, Arch 13-06-2012)
RPi - Version of board (B-256, B-512, C-1G, etc)
Successful - Yes, No (Successfulness of installation)
Members - Members having installed application
Additional Instructions - URL for RPi installation instructions
General Information - General information

Would the group members find this information useful?
