Linux raspberry pi

during my efforts to get this working as an nas/media center it has updated the browser to an experimental browser called DILLO this will not work with java so i need to get rid of it ie remove it or at least stop sabnzbd trying to use it Dillo has set it self upas the default browser I need to stop it being the default

You will have to select the other browser you want to use as the default one then sab will use that

I haven't been able to do that in linux debian

If you don't need Dillo for anything just apt-get purge it, then if necessary, apt-get install your preferred browser...

thanks i had tried sudo apt-get remove but it just said package not found

Try and 'dpkg --get-selections | grep dillo' to check which version is installed or 'dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt' to get a text file with all installed packages in so you can search through.

what distro are you running? wheezy? isnt there a package manager?

yes I am running raspbian wheezy I dont know about package managers will have to try and find out

Package manager is only useful if there is a GUI isn't it?

Or is there a GUI on the pi,haven't seen one in action

Unless you've installed something extra then you're likely running a lightweight X interface such as LXDE and apt-get/dpkg are the package managers.

If you want something a little friendlier try installing synaptic...

sudo apt-get install synaptic

Run with...

gksudo synaptic

I think i have now got it sorted again what happened was my superhub threw a wobbly and changed the ip address of the RPi so sab sb stopped responding to the browser ipaddress. I reflashed the sd card but the image I was using was in fact a backup of the os before the superhub episode so when i was trying to re-install I could not understand why I kept getting the directory is not empty I have reflashed the original firmware updated it and re-installed sab sb plus xbmc
the problem i am having now is the sabtosickbeard.py script folder is in /usr/local/sickbeard/autoprocessTV but sab wont let me save that folder in that format it says could not create
If I type ./usr/local/sickbeard /autoproccessTV it saves but nothing happens after the file has downloaded sab ignores the script I have tried /var/sickbeard/autoprocessTV where sab and SB seam to be installed it saves the folder but ignores the script

hi is the raspberry pi powerful enough for linux mint ?

In a word, yes, but stick with a light desktop...

I would stick with the official raspbian os it is well serviced with updates

Anyone done any interesting projects such as home automation or vpn server? Thinking of getting one and wondered what people are using it for.

Nope..I jsut use plain boring RaspXBMC for streaming media from my NAS box.. I was considering using the PI as an OSCAM server at one point, but not worth my while..as I had a couple of old DM500C clones lying around..no point buting a Raspberry + USB card reader + Power supply..when I can re-use existing gear for the same purpose.

Thanks for info. Can you download RaspXBMC as a complete image or do you need to install it manually? Also do you know if you can have multiple images on same card and boot into each one or would you need separate SD card for each image?

I have sab and sickbeard plus xbmc and use it as a Nas drive if you search raspberrypi you will find the official site where people list projects for them

Raspxbmc is an easy install you download the installer on your PC and it will automate the install for you to an SD card then just stick the SD card in the PI and it switch on and it will auto install.
