    Lets start making the helper gadgets

    A sleep timer would be nice. I often use my Pandora as mp3 player when going to bed and so I want it to poweroff after an hour or so. Someone posted a .PND (it is not ithe one from the Repo) which opens a dialog where you can set the desired time in minutes. It then minimizes to the task bar and...

    Just a quick heads up

    What always baffles me is when I visit historical sites in Scandinavia: imagine you stand on some small hillside, and as far as the eye can see there are trees and fields. And then there is this sign explaining that in the Bronce Age this used to be a shore-line, and the climate was like in the...

    So it's "them their wifes" (followed by "Yeehaw!") ?

    Do You Use A Gnu/linux Distro On Your Main Computer?

    I usually have dualboot Fedora and Windows. I still prefer Windows for gaming, but Fedora for everything else. Upgrading Fedora has not been a problem in recent years. I went from 28 to 32 without any major issues. I also prefer the "break everything at once" strategy, because then I can start...

    It reminds me of the Pandora!

    Regarding the perfect keyboard (and to continue the tradition to derail every news-thread whenever possible and as much as possible): I was crazy enough to buy a HHKB Professional Hybrid and I did not regret it. I think the differences are subtle at first, but if you do a lot of coding and/or...

    It reminds me of the Pandora!

    This surprises me a bit, since in automotive there are very strict requirements on power consumption and so on. I would have expected that an idle mode is a must. (On the other hand there is also the concept of a small chip handling the low level stuff like power, which will just shut down the...

    It's software this time!

    Black is beautiful, especially when it comes with a SATA adapter after 486 others made up their mind.

    We need more drama. So here's another video.

    Well, my Pandora is set up to just disable the screen on lid close. There is a switch-button at the front, which brings it into suspend. To power off I have to use the menu. Does the Pyra have a similar switch at the front?

    We need more drama. So here's another video.

    I always thought that the aluminium plate would sit behind the outside plastic plate ... basically in the order RGB-LEDs, translucent-plastic-part, aluminium inlet and that all is pressing from the inside against the case. And the case has a smaller, rounded whole through which you can see the...

    Contributing to PyraOS

    Hm, I kind of expected to be able to just mount or flash the microSD card when running from eMMC and vice versa. Like you do with a BeagleBone Black. How would you flash the eMMC if you cannot access it from anywhere?

    Newly formatted ext4 is read only

    I run SuperZaxxon. Yes, the group "users" probably doesn't make any sense, I just picked it up from one of the posts above, it should be username:username. When I said chown didn't change anything I meant to say that it made no difference. There was no error, ownership did change. Maybe I'll...

    Newly formatted ext4 is read only

    Mounting manually without options sais it can't recognize the filesystem, then tries ext4 and it actually mounts it as rw. I even managed to wirte a file ... Now I'm 100% confused. Then why is it mounted as read only when mounting automatically? Even on different systems? Probably I'll just...

    Newly formatted ext4 is read only

    well, chown myuser:users doesn't change anything, it is still mounted as read only. (No: chmod +w doesn't work either). tells me: mount: /media/EXT4 not mounted already, or bad option dmesg sais: EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): Unrecognized mount option "umask=000" or missing value I booted Linux on my...

    Newly formatted ext4 is read only

    I don't think ownership is a problem, all mount-points are owned by root:root. It just mounts it as read only. My 64GB SD-card has the same setup, a fat32 and a ext4 partition, I tried to do the same with the 128GB card to replace the 64GB for more space. Checking dmesg (which I should have...

    Newly formatted ext4 is read only

    Hi, I'm a bit lost on this one: I got a new 128GB SD card and want to create 2 partitions: half ext4, half fat32 (or anything else Windows likes). Formatting seems to work fine, everything is ok with the fat32 partition, but the ext4 partition is read only! fsck claims that everything is fine...
