Quirky Xerus 8.1.4 for Raspberry Pi2 and 3
D.S. : When I was at school the only digital anything was Morse code! More recently, when I want DAC I buy a little box or chip labelled DAC and look up the wiring diagramme on the InterWeb. Besides which, any electronics I've learnt has been self-taught on-the-hoof, i.e. with big holes.
Arizona is full of old folks like me, isn't it? And crooks trying to to fleece them?! Nice climate - done the Grand Canyon. But, why not just amend your profile? If you're sensitive about your exactly location you could just say N. America, although West Coast, East ditto, or, in your case, Mountain time. It helps threads like this one in particular to know when the discussion will continue.
Apart from that, you'll be wanting BarryK and R.ladder DAC.

Is there a way to launch mp when typing in consoledon570 wrote:
5) no nano app
all Quirkies, and pups probably, have 'mp'.
Code: Select all
nano file.txt

compiling nano with
keeps the size to 25k but all the good features are lost..configure --prefix=/usr --enable-tiny

Another suggestion ...
If you are looking to keep the distro small--->
Instead of including Open office, you should offer a portable version to download from ibiblio .
I assume portable versions of apps use static libraries which makes them bigger but more flexible.
However they can be installed in /opt and then launched with the start menu.
This is how I use Blender in linux. I download the zip file and decompress into /opt

I found a possible error in Quirky Xerus
Procedure:
When right clicking on a music file there is 'Open With' menu item (see below)
When I chose pmusic it assumed the mp3 file was an internet radio station rather than
a music file. Also read my pmusic suggestion for more info

Good news... I was able to burn an Audio CD with my LG GP30 DVD burner.
Procedure:
Launch ...
Multimedia > PeasyDisc optical disk Tools
Drag a folder of wav audio files to open window.
Temp folder is inside /mnt/home/
The burn took only a couple of minutes ... GOOD!
__________________________________________
pburn program --> I had problems with burning an Audio CD. Maybe because
I was using a network share folder to hold my temp files.
I should try /mnt/home/ in future.
I was able to create an ISO file with pburn though.

And I am surprised that you did no know of RDAC's, as these have been comon with digital electronics since the 1960's, and the early smaller Mini Computers (smaller, as in it only takes one truck to move it to set up at a new location).
Though I understand the self taught part. I can not say that as I have atended to many uni courses, though I had already self taught myself most of the stuff they repeated at uni.

Hmmm, that seems like a pmusic bug. You will need to report that to zigbert.don570 wrote:I found a possible error in Quirky Xerus

Ha ha, I am all ready to go with Quirky 8.1 final, but cannot upload it to ibiblio.
I have posted to the forum at ibiblio.org:
https://answers.ibiblio.org/questions/1 ... erver.html
Years ago, I had a direct email to someone at ibiblio.org, but he left. Now, we all have to go through this forum.

ally reminded me about archive.org, so I have created an account and uploaded Quirky 8.1:
https://archive.org/download/quirky-lin ... -xerus-8.1
Here is the announcement:
https://ia801503.us.archive.org/14/item ... 8.1%2b.htm
Let me know if it downloads OK, before I announce elsewhere (like the Raspberry Pi forum).
Note, the devx pet is not uploaded. There are a few pets that I can't upload to ibiblio.org until uploading is fixed.
Don't use the older 8.0.98 devx, it has a serious bug.
Well, you can, and fix the bug manually after installing. /sbin/getty after installing the devx, is a zero-byte file, need to change it back to a symlink to /bin/busybox.
This is the "front page":

Tried to d/l from nluug site this morning but file wasn't loaded yet
download of the devx went wrong for me--nearly seven hundred megs from what was supposed to have been a 30k file (didn't mirror that one).
