Anyone have any thoughts on installing this to the SSD? I had Xubuntu on it and it did run OK, but I just really like the simplicity and cleanliness of Pixel.
Is it available? Congratulations, this is a typically outstanding project and contribution to the community from the Raspberry Pi team. Fujitsu Lifebook S Boot from USB stick, runs, and everything appears to work, including wired and wireless networking. I tried to run it on my Dell Latitude E and it works great and amazingly fast, even flash-content works!
Now if I just could somehow enable pipelight some sites are still using that cursed silverlight then all my pay-to-view stuff would change to this OS! Tried to google, but no luck. As a totally blind computer user, I wonder what your commitment to accessibility is?
Seems a lot of confusion about what this is and is not. People appear to see this a new Linux when it is just a new Desktop. Linux is released under the GPL which makes it free software free as in freedom , open source is a different licensing model.
The usual basic High Contrast and text size options, sometimes a theme editor to tailor to specific children and adult and sight problems. The usual mouse and keyboard settings too.
A screen reader and magnifier. Someone on the forum or schools team may know of some drop in enhancements. As I run the Torbay Tech jam, if anyone would like help with this at the Jam then we can or should be able to help with install etc.
Even if we, use other tools to partition disks e. I have put a link to the current website below, we are working on a new site at the moment so will hopefully switch over shortly. I use Live Linux for troubleshooting and fixing computers, and this is great tool. I can customize the USB stick so that in my shop I have the settings I prefer, but on untrusted networks I can choose the non-persistent option.
I have had the panel go missing on first USB boot on several machines, so there might be something there. Any suggestions to help find the issue? As far as I am aware, the persistence partition needs to be in ext4 — everything I have read on the subject suggests that to be the case. Failed to load ldlinux. Happy Christmas :- Kevin. Installed on an old eeePC — it makes it usable….. The displayed time top right corner seems to be set to the UK. I would like to join the crowd looking for an installable to the HD version.
I am working on a program to provide computers for classrooms in under served areas in the US as well as in West Africa. PeppermintOS is my current favorite, but Pixel could stretch how old a piece of hardware we could use by three or so more years. I will be checking back. Right now, my copy is downloading. Considering the PIXEL desktop will become considerably more popular, translating the user interface and even certain Raspbian applications will help many people. Is this possible right now or considered for the future?
Some kind individuals have already submitted translations for some of the Pi-specific apps for which we are always grateful , and they are included in the x86 image as well as the Pi image. If anyone does want to contribute translations, please go to our GitHub repo github. Even easier, if you could put those files in a service like Transifex, Launchpad, or even use the open source Pootle [1] to host the translations? That would make it really easy for non technical people to contribute translations.
Thanks for pointing it out! Also have some issues to boot from the USB. Anyone having the same problems? The usb stick was not made as bootable, is the necessary? As Eben pointed out in the post, we are aware of the image not appearing as bootable on some Macs — unfortunately it sounds as if yours is one of them. Any help available? I have downloaded the. One issue I did notice was that the but wifi adapter was not recognized so I had to use eth0 which did work fine.
HP printer driver hplip Could do with a battery icon. Also, for some reason the graphics menu option is not shown even when selected from menu preferences.
As part of the HP printer install, the scanner program Xsane is installed and found in the graphics menu folder. In the preferences menu option, Xsane is shown in the graphics menu folder, however, the graphics menu folder is not shown in the normal menu list.
Machine is an old Dell laptop. And it has USB2. You need the bit version, not the bit version. On their donwnload page select Etcher Works great on my old Toshiba. Better than Linux Mint for me, I look forward to the Install button. I cannot get the touchpad to accept taps or double taps, any support or ideas for this problem would be greatly appreciated from anyone. Works great on my HP Mini Please do an installer. Just brought this back to a usable PC.
In VMware Fusion on a Mac, just install VMware tools and the screen will auto-resize when you drag the window corners or when you just maximize it.
Very nice job Raspberry folks, this lightweight OS really flies! Sorry to say this, but I tested it on two older Mac Books a pro and a non-pro as well as an HP laptop without success. I was soooo hoping this would be a neat Holiday present. Good luck and Fair Winds. When powering up while pressing the Option key the usb drive with the flashed ISO is not recognized.
At least all those things work once I reset them every time, but who wants to start over every time you boot? I had to use Rufus instead. A general reminder: the rules here are very simple. Also remember a lot of companies selling after 3 or 4 years old PCs for a low price to employees for my knowledge — so this is the base for running Linux and now with a well purposed version for education. No need for any other OS anymore for those how wanna want …. First of all, thanks for all your efforts guys.
It works ALMOST fine for me, except that the system bar does not appear, so its kinda difficult to use for me in that condition… Any idea how I could fix this? I suspect what you are referring to is a completely different bug in the original release of PIXEL for Pi, which also caused the menu bar to crash; this was an issue with the icon rendering and nothing to do with the issue for PIXEL-x86, which is caused by incompatible audio devices.
Download it and wrote to an USB. It started, a beautiful desktop. Just a Wastebasket. Impossible to find anything else. However there is no raspi-config :. Really like it. Had it running on a Compac Presario Please can we have an installable version? Tried with a iMac running El Capitan As I said all I get is the wastebasket. Disappointing but glad it works for most people. Could be quite discouraging for many people who will only give it one chance and then have their worst fears confirmed.
Struggling with my Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro Windows A brief flash of something mid scceen and then blank. PS : Might be wort including a link in the main downloads page to the PC distro — I spent a wasted hour or two trying to install the Raspbian image for the Pi on my PC!
Just need to work out how to change resolution now — everything is way to small for my poor old eyes! Note: running a 5 year-old recycled Hello terminal from Orange. Made a usb for my easynote laptop. Runs really well. But 2 points. I never got the persistent option on boot, just a 5 sec countdaown to auto boot, but it went fine.
Is there a standard one. Awesome os by the way. Persistence is the default when booting from USB. Press the Esc key during countdown to change options. You can then issue the following:.
Sadly I tried to burn this on a USB then tried booting it up.. Nope it detects the flash drive and I chose that. Yeah I know I am not really sure what happened. My windows got corrupted stuck in Starting Windows.
I am in the process of testing something which might fix this…. Connected to internet easily, both wired and wireless. YouTube worked well, audio was really loud. How do I make the iso bootable on a DVD or usb stick bootable for a mac? When iI tried to use etcher to make the dvd, etcher would not allow me to use my optical drive because it thought it had 0 gbs of space. It works on my MacBook pro but not on my iMac? I downloaded the iso file and imaged it to a USB using Etcher. Press to continue.
Peter Anvin et all The selected boot device failed. Press any key to continue. Anyone find a fix? Having an issue with the download. I truly wish that there was an install option instead of all the command line hocus pocus. I am a newbie therefore could be doing something wrong. Mine is on an old Lenovo S10e which worked really, really well otherwise. I occasionally need to connect them to my network to transfer some files.
I am going to try to dual boot them with this OS for file transfer purposes. I love Debian. If install fails check the Vbox log files for the reason it will sow on the screen. Now if I could only control the brightness of my laptop screen. Awesome work, guys! FWIW, several people asked if it would run on Atom systems, and yes it will. On my old MSI netbook with an Atom it runs quite well, with performance comparable to the Puppy Linux it has been running for years.
Now, Puppy is a mature distro aimed at low-end machines, for this new release to approach its useability is just phenomenal. Keep up the good fight! This is so awesome! The same with new distributions of Linux. But Pixel works great! My P4 is now like a Chromebook! I can view YouTube smoothly—way to breath life into an old machine!
I hope you keep tinkering with it—I would like to be able to actually install this on my old machines rather than just run it from a USB stick. Hi, i can run retropie? It works even faster than my normal Ubuntu My favorite sailing simulator, with flash working in one go, my favorite music streaming site with flash is also working with very good sound quality. This is a wonderful idea.
But most of the distributions are aimed at a different kind of small hardware, and different application spaces MythTV, various kinds of servers, web browsers and kiosks.
Having an already popular distribution that is focused on writing code is great, and I already see a bunch of stuff that I like…. Second, it ran fine under VirtualBox on my Mac. I could live with that, I think.
Though at some point, deciding how much you want to support x86 hardware vs RPi hardware will probably become an issue…. Will you be doing a version for iPads and other tablets? Interesting idea — waiting for improvements. I give to the R-Pi in my mind the merit of spreading the goodwill of tech to people. The next thing is that in a persistent option I would like to install some extra software but I was not able to get in SU mode to install the synaptic manager.
The main drawback from Debian 8 32 bit is the very slow Firefox browser but at least it is there otherwise it is equivalent. On the PC I will stick with the Debian 8 for the moment. Not at the moment. Did install firefox because of sse2 problem with chrome. It will make the software developed for Raspberry Pi more versatile and enable more existing technology usable for educational purposes. Since Minecraft and Wolfram are unavailable on this version, maybe it might be a good idea to add Minetest and Cantor or something similar to this version.
Windows XP bogged this thing down so much so it was almost unusable. Brian, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. The problem is the oddball BIOS.
Put your bootable thumbdrive in, then boot to the BIOS setup. Worked for me. Attempting to bodge my way through some kind of install and see if I can get it to fly on my old Motion M Knowing that Debian itself is a possibility on this device including sound and using the Wacom pen features makes this OS VERY appealing to breathe new life into a machine that I feel has some years of service left.
Worked OK under XP, but it felt clunky. Coupled with a 2gb ram upgrade and SSD this looks like fun! I keep getting failed to load ldlinux. I have tried it on various machines same problem tried dvd and flash. It runs very nicely. WiFi connected right up. Just what I like in a desktop OS. You can change the keyboard mapping it defaults to a UK setting — go to preferences in the GUI to swap it over.
I burned the ISO onto a USB drive and attempting to boot the thumb drive on an insignia nsms tablet, Currently running Windows 10 and I am able to see the thumb drive in windows but when I try to boot from the thumb drive its just goes back to windows.
Windows 10 devices tend to have a locked down boot process. Look for boot settings to disable UEFI. You might also need to find a setting called Secure Boot and disable that. I have the same model finest laptop ever, indeed! Please make an installable version based on the current Debian 32 bit release. Then everyone should be able to get it to run on almost anything. I have wasted too many hours trying to get this to permanently install on a variety of PCs, always having to compromise something.
Even the VirtualBox idea gives less than a perfect and slow solution. I love the fact that you guys have curated the Raspberry Pi solution. Now lets make your remarkable software curation efforts more universally available. Thanks for everything you do toward making your way of thinking as ubiquitous as possible. Installed pixel on usb drive using YUMI.
Dug out the old Dell Vostro and it runs really well. Was previously baffled by the range of different distros but to have this familiar one is just great. Is it possible to shrink the image so that it fits on CD? Everything works: video playback on youtube, sound. It also boots on an old Dell Lattitude D Intel HD but only in low resolution mode on an attached x monitor.
Would be nice to have screen resolution or graphics modes in settings. Anyone know how to change or force screen resolution in Pixel? Everything is running fine. Running well on a Dell Inspiron ! I was sure it was useless and about to go into the E-cycling bin.
You could install this on laptop or old computer the same as you would a pi. Just dd the image to the hard drive and reboot? The problem is that the widget and titlebar theme are completely flat, matte, and without outlines, while the shapes in the icons have very heavy outlines and a glassy gloss accent on the folders. Works great!!! My pixel disc will not show the desktop I just get a blank screen I have tried the free disc from your mag and tried my own iso burned disc also tried without persistence but no screen shows The last text the screen shows is in the top left saying some think like linux 8 then the dvd drive keeps going for a little while then quite and no show, My computer is a Acer Aspire z Can you help?
I am now using my Pixel laptop. Way to go, this plus my pi and a 32 inch monitor and wifi now all set up and complete. I copied them verbatim but booting failed. Is there an updated set of grub2 loopback parms I can use to boot the iso?
Booting take me to the Pixel screen and after a minute if I press the Enter key I get a terminal screen showing typical Linux commands followed by: BusyBox v1. File manager, network manager being the main ones.
Windows only sees the 1st partition on removable drives. And the right one. Yes, you can — you should be able to mount the other drives on the host PC under Linux. What tool did you use to create the USB stick?
I posted higher up that I had this issue, but once I finally managed to re-download the image it worked perfectly. Anyone experiencing that issue probably just has a corrupt image like I did. Problems in chrome accessing etcher. USB created via Yumi and seems to load well -very pleased. Any thoughts on a postcard or otherwise very welcome! Like the idea of pixel and hope I can get this darned machine working with your good works.
Boot it on my 4 year old Lenovo and its only using 90MB or memory.. Will this enable the use of larger programs in the future, such as Adobe products for photo and video editing? The bug is that, at some point between version 0. Apologies for not doing it myself! Via S3 Pro Unichrome video, and fails to bring up the video in an ugly way. It will either crash with garbage on the screen, or crash to a blank black screen. I can sympathise that you are having issues, but they are Debian issues rather than PIXEL issues, so you will need to pull the relevant fixes yourself, at least for the time being.
I will gladly contribute a patch, if given some assistance. Running on a Compaq Evo NC! HDD install please!!! Great product. Am I missing the blindingly obvious? Open a terminal window and type update-rc. Is there an easy next step? Thanks Tim, That works a treat.
So my next task is to think about what I might usefully do with all this magic! Thanks, now my HP Mini is up and running! Please help me with this simple question. And after a reboot it gives a warning that I should change my password and seems to block the network configuration. As yet there is no Raspberry Pi Configuration. How can I change the password? It ran perfectly on my Mac after I applied the fix for the disappearing menu bar. However, the resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina is crazy high making everything so small that it is barely usable!
I tried using LXRandr to change the resolution, however, I would always end up with a black screen if I change the resolution. I have exactly the same issue running it on my MBP Retina.
Tried it out on Samsung N netbook. Very smooth and feels faster than Ubuntu Do hope the project is taken forward. This is probably a stupid question, but I am very new to the Pi community and very interested in getting more involved. I was thinking of tinkering with Pixel. My question- should I delete files from the current hardrive assuming that they are all backed up properly and uninstall MacOS?
Would this provide a cleaner, faster experience? The image we have released is a live image — it boots and runs from USB or DVD and leaves any existing installations on the machine untouched. Well Pff. Boots to the Bootmenu and then just gets stuck in the automatic boot 5 second loop..
Like the previous commenter, I get an error message for this. Does anyone know a fix? This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available for another source. There are other ways, but this one is faster. It is the only way to execute the Guest Additions installation script.
A simple sudo did not work. I have then be able to resize the Raspberry VM and, which was vital for me, validate the French Macintosh keyboard.
Home Tutorials. Now we have the settings of our virtual machine in place. You should see a screen like this: Browse to the folder where you saved the image file of Raspberry Pi Desktop, select the file, and click Start. On the next screen, select your preferred keyboard layout and continue by pressing Enter. You might want to grab a cup of coffee or tea while the system is installing.
When the installation wizard has installed everything, you should see a screen like this: Look familiar? From the menu that opens, select Shared Folders. Click the button with the green plus sign that adds a new shared folder. Sorry — relative beginner here. Luiz Renato Lopes October 22, at pm Reply. Pete Arnett October 25, at am Reply. Once the dd command has finished to copy the image, you can eject the microSD card with the RetroPie and plug it into your Raspberry Pi 4.
This free operating. On this tutorial I show you how to run Mac OS 9 on your Raspberry PI, I have also included a compiled version of pearpc if you feel adventurous enought to ru. Follow our add-ons installation tutorials: Installing add-ons on Kodi RetroPie, starting from the version 4. I have the Raspberry Pi up and running on a PC desktop. I believe this was the easiest install of a Linux desktop I have done. Often I have used Linux on older machines and chosen a light desktop like LXDE which was not the default for the distribution.
This typically resulted in hours tweaking and not getting everything working just as it should. It seems with this version of Debian Stretch the RPi Foundation has done the tweaking and gotten it all right. The ISO image was loaded onto the flash drive using rufus To ensure the persistence option will work it is important to choose the dd entire disk image option rather than the ISO file by file option.
This connection will also provide power. One will get a " " as a prompt. There will be a limited temporary file system on a RAM drive. Once the boot is complete one can reinsert the microSD and mount it it won't mount automatically. In my case I used a microSD already set up with Noobs on it.
That is why it had been formatted with the ext4 file system.
