bought a Canakit Pi4 and the network performance is kinda iffy. Struggles with pulling packages via apt, I can't even get chromium to load the speedtest.net page. Trying a new OS image. I wasn't really thrilled with Raspian so I'm trying for realsies Ubuntu 64bit. E: I think the kit supplied SD card is poo poo. Randomly locked up a bunch too coconono fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Nov 21, 2023 |

Yeah SD card was the primary culprit. I’m now trying to figure out why I loaded the Lakka distro and not getting hdmi output. Except I gave up for the night because I spent too many hours reading the same half dozen retroarch arm64 posts and being very confused.

MJP posted:Any recs/warnings/cautions about using a Pi for LibreElec/Kodi? I installed it on an HP thin client that likes to freeze sometimes if I fast forward or just plain hang if the TV is off sometimes. I'm messing around on an RPi4B with Lakka OS right now. It required fiddling. The default OS was pretty fleshed out make sure your TV isn't some weirdo bullshit that fell off a truck. Pretty much all my output struggles revolved around the TV not being able to understand all the ephemera the Pi was kicking out. If its not plug and play, make sure you got good cables. I just bought the cheapest thing on Best Boy's floor and it worked. Bluetooth wasn't out of the box either. I bought an 8bitdo controller thinking that was the easiest way. I suggest something with a pairing dongle. But that could be an OS limitation. I have a logitech keyboard mouse dealie that uses a pairing dongle and its worked great. Lakka itself is "rawdog retroarch", it comes preinstalled with OS cores, you have to supply BIOS and roms. Its got SSH access and an unsecured access to the filesystem via SMB, which made finding it on the network and throwing files into it a snap. When the Pi5 hardware finally becomes available, I should be able to emulate some PS2 and Gamecube stuff.

yeah I was able to get video output on my old dynex HDMI tv via Lakka by messing with the cmdline.txt file(since it doesn't start a full GUI backend this file gets invoked instead of config.txt) but couldn't get sound. In frustration I walked the whole pi unit to another TV and suddenly sound and video worked just fine. I might go investigate the local makerspace to make up a slightly larger case with a power button. I'm still trying to work around how to sleep/wake the pi. I'm thinking it might have to be something like a arduino or a Pi Zero that runs the power button and listens for bluetooth or LAN traffic. I'm still hoping to make this into a gameboxes for a boutique sale but right now the bluetooth stuff is so wonky idk I could make something that goes out of the box for nontech folks. Def going to release an image preloaded with ROMs and BIOS along with a note.txt full of tips'n'tricks

When pirates seized the container ship, they pushed the Pi cargo into the ocean, upset it was not pie. Red beard got silicon chips now.

yeah, cameras of similar size are also turbo expensive. So like if you wanted to DIY your own Apple Vision dealie, its still pretty pricey but we def live in an era when billionaires could DIY their own aerospace surveillance programs, as a hobby. coconono fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Apr 4, 2024 |

Agree. I had a mission critical part fail and the local store didn’t have it but the one near my home office did.
