redid commands and ALL IS NORMAL acts like yours.

Whew, glad I wasn't making a complete dog's breakfast out of those commands

Preetam is close to getting Maru OS to work on LG G4 cellphone.

Any way I fixed mouse .

There was a problem because udev do not run in chroot , and udev provide the input devices to xorg .
But we can go back to traditional way so I fixed .

I had to add to /etc/X11/xorg.conf :

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Configured"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection


and I removed /usr/share/X11/10-evdev.conf

Mouse works perfect now . Also i increased Video ram to 64 mb and I see videos in youtube works better.

They succeeded!
Much faster than Nexus5 phone because of more powerful processor.

Pi3 running a bit hot Posted on 6 Dec 2016, 18:42 by admin
T2 has been running for a couple of days, with pauses. Stopped earlier, running again this afternoon, has been going for about 4 hours.

T2 is set to run with 3 cores. I reported some temperatures earlier:
http://barryk.org/news/?viewDetailed=00468

Outside temperature is 23 degrees C. 6pm, so later afternoon. Don't know what it is inside, probably about that.

The CPU governor is set to "performance", and this is the temp:

# /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=73.1'C

Worries me, that, a bit too high for my liking.

Note to Barry: If you have a small room fan you could blow air through the fins and this will definitely aid in keeping the chip cooler.

Probably OTT. If he (& the rest of the pack) follow my earlier advice all should be well, at least until RPi 4 appears.

Guys, I have read with interest the posts on remote control of a Pi, from, say, a x86 laptop or desktop PC.

I will be traveling a bit next year, I was wondering how to keep developing on the Pi. I will take my baby laptop, and when I fly it will only be carry-on luggage, so very restricted what else I can take.

I was wondering about the possibility, and simplest way to do it, to setup my Pi3 to be totally controlled from my laptop, so that I can run the Pi just as though I was using it directly.

My baby laptop doesn't have an ethernet socket, and only two USB sockets (one USB3, one USB2). I will take a USB hard drive with me, so that will occupy one socket. The other USB socket normally has the mouse, however I could free that up by using a bluetooth mouse.

So, I can communicate with the Pi3 by a USB cable or wifi -- but I take it that the latter is a problem without a wifi router?

I suppose bluetooth communication is also a possibility.

It would be nice if the Pi could be powered from the USB socket! Unfortunately, not enough current. So I will have to carry a power adaptor ...the items are adding up! Won't have any room left in the carry-on bag for clothes!

Anyway, do you reckon I could set up something useful, or should I just shelve the Pi development until I get back from whatever journey I'm on.

Eleven easy steps

1. Install ssh server on your pi3. Dropbear will do.
2. Test connecting to pi3 via ssh, from your itty bitty laptop.
3. Repeat until 2 is successful, adjusting config files as needed.
4. Shutdown pi3, disconnect HDMI, and boot it. Attempt to connect to pi3 from laptop, using ssh.
5. If fails, edit cconfig.txt so pi3 can boot without monitor. Repeat until 5 works.
6.Get one of this: http://www.tp-link.com.au/products/deta ... R702N.html or http://www.tp-link.com.au/products/deta ... R802N.html
7. Configure that as router (no connection to internet needed, although it is a bonus if you have it)
8. Connect your pi3 Wi-Fi to that nano router, making sure you get IP address. Configure a fixed IP if needed.
9. Connect itty bitty laptop to the sane nano router.
10.by now you should be able to ssh from laptop to pi3. If you use "ssh -y", you would even be able to run graphical programs on your pi3, with the window showing in your laptop.
11. Put nano router, pi3, and itty bitty laptop to bag, easy to go.

Good luck.

PS: the nano router can be powered from your laptop USB port. But if that's not possible it also comes with its own adaptor. If you have a lot of stuff that require USB power, I suggest you get a bulk USB charger that can charge multiple devices at the same time, to save space. You can get them at officeworks or elsewhere.

Disregard typo. Typing on a phone, I'm travelling myself.

Revert to RPi B+? Runs cool, lower power. You've already provided a Puppy for it. 64bit isn't worth the effort.

Ok, these are self service Pi software gift requests that point in another direction but also I think will solve idea above.

Pi3 as hotspot project. there are a few out there its a common Idea.
So replace the other I think is a mobile Hotspot device personal wifi router with pi in dual roles.
take/buy an mobile battery pack with dual ports labelled as a tablet charger, my Pi3 will last around 7 hours on fully charged and years old device ( got mine with Mele1000 project which was new would last near 12hours playing videos from harddrive poking out the top. )
That will drop all the extra wall warts save one for it and provide a 'portable' UPS for Pi3 that you REALLY NEED NOW ANYWAY for multi-day compiler efforts.
If you fix blutooth with JB's help you can share files from FatDog64 on laptop or your own builds and maybe save the need for a portable harddrive. And/Or if it doesn't the RaspPi has more USB ports you can also share backwards RiP3 as mobile wifi router, and host for your portable fileserver, keep that running with your portable cell charger stuffed in a 'shopping' bag and your laptop will need no wires/devices hanging off.

Hi Barry,
I am following your work on RPi, but I dont have any RPi, so I cant test quirky. Maybe later you could create a quirky for x64 and x86, based on those changes, please ? Maye a barebone version too , so people can install what they like ? So I will be able to test your new quirky on my x64 PC.
Thanks in advance, Cheers

64bit isn't worth the effort.

Hi, after some weeks in the bigger universe of 64bits me trying
en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi3/ as mentioned previously is this forum
and http://www.kraxel.org/blog/2016/04/fedo ... i-updates/
on my pi3, I'm back using Quirky. Why?
No sound module I found... Of course that I need:
Woofwoof chew Bacca.

Update https://news.opensuse.org/2016/12/05/op ... rry-image/ confirms "not-yet-supported upstream features like HDMI-audio and hardware-accelerated-video decoding are not available yet in the image"

[greengeek]

So, I can communicate with the Pi3 by a USB cable or wifi -- but I take it that the latter is a problem without a wifi router?

rcrsn51 came up with a wlanmaker (or routermaker?) which allowed some wifi cards to be used as a router. If the wifi card in your laptop was compatible with this functionality that would allow you to use your laptop as a "pseudo router" and DHCP server and allocate an IP address to the RPi wifi card and start communicating with it (via ssh?) - without any external wifi router.

EDIT : wlanmaker link here

At least this would obviate the need for a cable.

EDIT 2 : routermaker link here

jamesbond,
Thanks for those instructions!

I found a local store that stocks the TL-WR802N, for $29.
I am heading off first thing in the morning to buy it.

Edit:
A couple of reviews of the WR802N

Yes, x86 has been on the back burner. I have actually built a new x86_64 Quirky, with all the latest changes, but not released.

Now there is something new, "easyinit", announced on my blog. I have not yet created easyinit for the x86_64 build. That will happen sometime.

Then there is "Easy Linux", a name that I announced on my blog awhile back. It was going to be a musl-based, compiled from source distro, but I dropped it.

Now, it is looking like it will be T2-based, compiled from source. I have already done a test compile of T2 on the Pi3. Incredibly slow, took many days, but got there.

So, in the pipeline, an Easy Linux for the Pi3. This will be basically the same packages as in Quirky April, which was also compiled with T2 (with some updates).
There may also be a Easy Linux build for x86.

Why should I even bother with compiling a complete distro from source, when we have ready-made Debian, Ubuntu DEBs, etc? Mostly because I still reckon it is great to create something very small and highly optimised, yes and very fast.

Hey guys,
Right now, I am running Windows 10 on my baby laptop, and posting from SeaMonkey on my Pi3. Headless Pi3!

I was going to go out today and buy that wireless nano router, however it has been raining all morning.

But it occurred to me that I am missing the obvious. While traveling, I will have my smartphone with me. With "wifi hot spot" enabled, that should do the trick. Yeah, it does.

I installed dropbear on my Pi3, and that sure was simple, it "just works".

Ran Simple Network Setup and connected to the hot spot.

Started my laptop, running Win 10, installed mobiXterm.

mobiXterm has a network scan feature, it found the IP address that had been assigned to my Pi.

Connected to that, started a terminal session, logged in as "root", password "woofwoof", and had a commandline session established.

Typed in "seamonkey" and another window came up running seamonkey. Which is what I am typing into now.

The awkward part of this is when I am traveling and testing new builds of Quirky. Will have to get Quirky to auto-connect to the phone hot spot.
I suppose, that is where the nano router has an advantage, as the Pi sees a working ethernet at bootup and automatically uses it. So if the router is setup to autoconnect to my hot spot, then nothing needs to be done at the Pi-end.

...that reasoning is correct, yes?

One thing I don't currently have with this mobiXterm, is the full screen of the Pi, that is, JWM and the ROX desktop. Typing "xwin" did not do it, but then, the desktop is already running on the Pi.

Edit:
The correct spelling is "mobaXterm". Home here:

[TeX Dog]

there is a Pi Project just for that.... First headless boot it acts as a accesspoint you use that to load in from smartphone or laptop, you pass it your hotspot or wifi information from that it get your network id, it reboots into wifi client mode to shared wifi hotspot, and hooks to that for remote desktop.
I remember reading that, but never saw a purpose. The are VNC apps for smartphones, you can give that WIN10 to charity or use it for sharkfiishing bate.

Anyone but me shocked he used Win!0? it like a traider or something.
