I wrote a little gui for setting the sound to auto/analog/HDMI. Should make it super easy. The radio buttons reflect the current state. My sound (analog) was working ootb, still, anything played through aplay is no good. NOTE: this will not display if the sound module is not loaded! (will show an error in terminal)

Thanks micko! By the way, my Python / Pygame pet does work. I just hadn't been thorough enough about dependencies. It requires: libpng, libjpeg (dev versions) and the dev versions of the sdl elements (sdl itself, mixer, sound, image, ttf). Python Arm pet I may re-compile in the new Alpha, just for kicks! mark _________________ My System:Arch-Arm on RPi! "RacyPy" puplet on Toshiba Tecra 8200. PIII, 256 MB RAM.

Hi, I got a new problem with alpha3, not being able to use german keyboard layout. In Quicksetup I select
No matter I restart X or reboot, typing in a terminal allways shows no change. I guess that it's us keyboard layout. Restarting Quicksetup again shows de-latin1. I can change it to de, but running again, it shows again de-latin1 (and in terminal still us layout) Firewall setup: I get the message:
Sound is per default analog. No prolem to hear mp3 with PlayMusic. Sound is good but with "scratches" about every 30sec., more or less. Maybe of interest, after a song is finished, PlayMusic allways try to play the next file. If this is a avi or mp4 movie, MPlayer opens and plays it (more or less). No problem to change sound to HDMI (even during playing a song  ), no scratches. So for normal usage, HDMI seems to be the best for me.
Will test gmome mplayer, gxine, omxplayer, pi_subsound_set, sws and more, soon. @rrolsbe IIRC Puppy detects all swap partitions and mounts it, but i don't know the order it uses these partitions. With alpa2 I just deleted the swap partition of the sd card and Sap6 automatically used the swap partition of the usb hd. You can also unmount a swap partition via command line, but I haven't tested in Sap6 and don't remember the command . More later, Rolf _________________ Ich verwende "frugal", und das ist gut so. 
Raspberry Pi without Puppy? No, thanks. |

You find a variable in /etc/rc.d/BOOTCONSTRAINED that you can comment-out. Though, that will also cause the swap partition on the SD card to load. So, I recommend run: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0p3 to wipe the swap partition on the SD card. _________________ http://bkhome.org/blog2/ |

Please read the Release Notes. There is a script that runs at bootup, /etc/init.d/11alsa_raspi that sets sound to the analog output. Change the properties of that to non-executable then it won't run at bootup. Or, edit it to set sound o/p to HDMI. _________________ http://bkhome.org/blog2/ |

Thanks Barry - I was focussing on getting Python / Pygame installed, but I will use your instructions to get the sound to go via HDMI. Great work by the way! I am a very happy Puppy! 
I've posted on the RPi forum about the success with my wireless dongle. I know the editors of the MagPi magazine pretty well (I did an article on Scratch for them last time). They seem pretty focussed on Debian at the moment. But I am going to try to persuade them to do something on Puppy soon. mark _________________ My System:Arch-Arm on RPi!

Ignore the idiot crustacean (that would be me) Too many arms and not enough neurons. The Mixmos s running just not doing anything useful so far . . . About to try Micko's sound GUI pet - pretty cool to have pets (Barry produced some but did not test them) Sorry 
Puppy second boot is pretty speedy (by the time I have found the remote and turned on HDMI TV I am in Puppy - no pseudo sudo passwords required)

Barry What about /etc/init.d/11alsa_raspi reading a config file? Say.. /etc/rapsi_alsa.conf? Default could be "0" or "1" or "2" or whatever the consensus is and my little gui could be used to change that. just a thought. @Lobster, when you fire up that gui, the default should be the "Analog" option radio button. If analog (headphones or external speakers) work for you leave it else try out the other 2. HDMI doesn't work for me, but I think it's the el cheapo gear I have. I might plug in my raspi to the 40" Samsung, (when wifey is at work on Sunday )

Mick the the GUI locked up my Pi now all my icons are gone. (fixable) 
The HDMI worked (well sound of raspy static - not actual sound) for me but not analog or auto - the pet is in setup gonna reboot and try to run from command line for better feedback. found your pet code in /usr/sbin/pi_sound_set.sh in case anyone else wants a look

Now that you guys have this long experience of using RPi. Was it true that you needed to buy new kind of Sd cards that the old ones where the wrong type and that the new ones are special kinds of SD that maybe is not sold everywhere and have to be bought online from some other country? What is referred to SD anyway How big are there? Those I have already in my many Smartphones are like the nail of a thumb or so. Say 14mmx10mm and can be put into an adapter that is maybe 23mmx30mm One SD I have is named Zap microSD 512MB could that then be not compatible being too old and slow? _________________ I'm a noob so I use Google Search of Puppy Forum |

"micro" is no good, need the standard SD size. Sure, there is an adapter but that I see as another bottle neck. We try to avoid those .
Are you getting a raspberry pi nooby? If not you can test with qemu. There is a nice "howto" by our friend jamesbond .(See the "How To" section)
Edit; there you go! Link in below post. _________________ keep the faith .. Edited_time_total |

The Rpi Foundation recommend Class 4 and above (10 is the highest) If no class number it will probably not work. Barry recommends Class 6 as a minimum and I would agree. Even the same brand of Class 4 can be temperamental. The Rpi Foundation or someone who gets through a lot recommends Transcend brand SD cards. As far as I am concerned all SD cards are overpriced and not as reliable as solid state devices should be. However I do not hear complaints from phone and camera users? Are we stressing them more? Barry is trying to minimise their read writes. _________________ Puppy WIKI |

The other thing is that the different releases (due to firmware I guess??) work with different ranges of cards. Puppy and Arch work on cards that the Debian Squeeze release will not tolerate. I believe the way to go is to move the filesystem to a usb flash drive (or equivalent) and alter the commandline text file accordingly. This is how I do it with my Arch set up (using a USB3 Kingston Elite stick). So far I am running Puppy off a card, but I might splash out on another high-speed usb flash stick thingy. _________________ My System:Arch-Arm on RPi! "RacyPy" puplet on Toshiba Tecra 8200.

@ Lobster - if you are in the mood for some pets, this does work, but getting the "deb" - endencies in place might take a while!
mark And here's a little test program, if you want to see if it works.
