Brady posted:Just installed Raspbian via NOOBS and for some reason the GUI takes up more room than the visible screen, ie: my icons and "taskbar" are mostly out of view. I was able to check the display settings and it's showing 1080x1920 with no other options other than "Auto", which sets it to 1080x1920 anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have your width and height resolution backwards? Meaning, shouldn't it be set to 1920x1080? If so, it would likely cause the problem you are seeing. eightysixed fucked around with this message at 13:53 on Sep 12, 2013 |

If so, please link it. Not because I have the knowledge to actually probably help, but because I'm curious, and the idea sounded neat. If you didn't, you should.

Someone should confirm/deny this though, because I'm not entirely sure. But being as its a different architecture, one would think it wouldnt just be 'plug and play.' v  v

bvoid posted:Has 1080p (or even 720p) video performance, as well as SNES emulator performance, improved significantly on the RPi since about mid-2013? FWIW, I've never had a single problem with any 1080p video, with Full DTS Audio, nonetheless, on my B+ through OpenELEC with Kodi.

I'm surprised it's even playable  Spend the $35 and upgrade, and never worry about it again. edit: Even get a regular 512 B, as opposed to a B+ or Pi2 B, and you wont even have to get a new SD card.

Yes. Shrink the partition down to whatever you want, and then dd (or whatever you're going to use) and immediately be back up and running. You can then expand the file size accordingly. Unless you just shrink the 32GB down to 8, and then image from there.

Paul MaudDib posted:Real SSDs own balls and when was the last time an 850 Evo crapped itself on you? Never, that's when. Nope, they're not old enough yet and/or you've not pushed enough IO on it. Give it time. Every drive will eventually fail. If it hasn't happened yet, it will. I promise. If you think the 850 Evo (read: any) drive is "never going to crap itself" I have some really bad news for you.

Can't tell if that's directed at me or not. But any drive is going to fail. When it fails, it's obviously no longer useful. I have some old WD Greens running that are way past their EOL timetable. I'm running ticking time bombs. Just because they haven't yet, doesn't mean they're not going to. Same applies to SSD, SD, your regular flash drives, etc. Same with anything/everything else electronic. My point was just because "ABC THING" hasn't failed yet does not mean that it's not going to, or incapable of doing as such.

I'm sure this is a ridiculously stupid question, but Google is of no help because all I can find out is how to turn my rPi into an OpenVPN server. The problem is - I just want to connect to an existing OpenVPN server and have all traffic routed through that. It can't be that hard - But I'm finding nothing.

n.. posted:Probably because your terminology is mixed up. If you're connecting to a server, then you want to set up an openvpn client, not another server. I want to connect to an existing OpenVPN server, so yes, splitting hairs I am a client of that server. But I'd prefer to do this all CLI and not have to install a GUI - I thought there might be some /etc/network/interfaces hackery that I could play around with instead of installing a whole DE just to get the real Client. I just don't know how

I haven't tried that because I'm being overly cautious and didn't want to screw it up until I had it for at least a week. Plug hub into wall. Plug devices into hub. Plug hub into rPi.

fishmech posted:And no, it can't really push a 1080p screen all day long acceptably in a lot of use cases, the GPU just isn't powerful enough because it's a design originally intended for 640x480 smartphone screens of 10 years ago, slightly upclocked in the 3 model. Tell this to my Pi 1 Model B+ unit that pushes 1080p with AC3/DTS audio hours per day with literally zero hiccups. Although maybe it's because it's streamed from somewhere else, so this may be a moot point and I'm an idiot. I honestly have no idea. You're probably right, playing it locally would likely crumble it. Or not, I honestly do not know.
