All, I feel some misinformation is starting to emerge re dd, img files and xz compression that needs clarification, especially since many individuals on this list are "feeling" their way and don't nee

dd is a decades old 'Nix command line program for copying data bit for bit - dd stands for disk duplicate - and it is pure command line. I wouldn't recommend it to a Linux newbie, too much chance of c

The obvious answer is CHOICE. Less obvious to newcomers to the 'Nix world is that tar has been around a long time (since 1979) and has a proven record of reliability, performance and scriptability to

On point 1, kernel AX25 has various display options for mheard that can be found here https://www.unix.com/man-page/debian/1/mheard/ I don't know if other variants of AX25 offer the same options becau

The tool dos2unix is handy for massaging a Windows generated text file into Unix (Linux) format, it strips the CR that can cause a script to fail. sudo apt-get install dos2unix Ray vk2tv

That's not quite correct. For receive, the difference between the 1200 and 9600 ports on the rear socket is that the former has de-emphasised audio while the latter has "flat" audio from the discrimin

It's not bashing, it's the honest truth. Those cheap radios are crap for most things but worse for digtal, and I own one that has been shelf decoration for three years. You get what you pay for. With

I've used the Behringer UCA202 on Linux, including the RPi, and it works fine as plug and play. The UCA202 has RCA stereo line in and line out as well as SPDIF (Toslink) out. It's a 48kHs device. The

I do, completely <grin> Ray vk2tv

Ever since I first started using the Pi SBC in 2013 I've created a new user account and given it sudo capability. I also create a password for root, and then remove user Pi because there are hundreds

Does the RPi still use Polyfuses? My first two model B have them (bypassed by me) but my later model B doesn't. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places but I can't find evidence of the polyfuse still be

$0.02 worth of comment. I'd suggest that the output should be adjustable to near 5.2V (the USB spec allows for 5.25V) to compensate for USB power cable loss. My RPi4 is powered from a 12V battery sour

That's partially correct but if a X-client is running on the local machine and an X-server (just the server and not the rest of a "normal" X installation) is running on the remote machine, even on a h

Who died and left you in charge? Most people are sensible enough to realise that sometimes a simplistic question doesn't get the best answers and, as many people here know, a lot of RPi problems can't

+1 on the power supply socket and its related problems. I still haven't overlooked employing a dangling lead with a coaxial line socket for each of my RPi's. Then I ca be absolutely certain the power

Capture the output from git clone and post it here. It "should" provide some clues to where/why it's failing for you. Ray vk2tv
