- A quick guide to installing Raspbian (Debian Wheezy) onto a brand new 64Gb micro SD card and getting it up and running on the Raspberry PI B+ in about a half hour
Links for those that need it (To the latest versions) www.raspberryp...
This is the same as provided with the board itself and is the official source of the main OS's for the board
I love my Raspberrys. I have all models (three Pi 4s with different RAM sizes). They are great little computers and they are also robust and durable.
Great video, very helpful and easy to follow, this version of Debian, can it run plex, and will this work fine on the Raspberry Pi 2 ?
The 'apt-get update' command will simply update the package list cache for the remote software mirrors. You need to run "apt-get upgrade" after updating the package cache lists with 'apt-get update' in order to download the available software updates.
I found out logitech has made a softqare called Logitech Unifying Tool. With it, if you have more than 1 logitech device, you can connect both to only *1* usb. This helped with the power consumption of my Rasperry and also freed up more usbs for future use!
Really nice video thank you in advance for posting it. Just bought pi3 b+ and going to rewatch you video for my setup.
I have one now too and will set to creating a new video just for it
I have a couple of questions for you regarding the desktop:
First of all, are all of the icons on the desktop just shortcuts? If so, can you delete them all for an icon free desktop?
Second, can you add custom menus to the taskbar in the same way as you can in Windows? The way I used to have my PC set up was not having any desktop icons visable and having the shortcuts to all the programs I used most frequently, and also my documents, on the taskbar in an expandable menu where you'd just press the arrows to open it much like the Start menu.
I'm going to buy my first Pi in January, so it would be nice to find out these thing before I get it, just so I know that I can go back to my own personal appearance. I was never one of these people who had half the desktop covered in icons, those people are just plain nuts. ;) I've always prefered a clean and tidy desktop where I can see my wallpaper without icons in the way.
Every icon on the desktop is a shortcut and can be deleted. It has all of the functionality of any other computer that has a low resource usage linux install, you can create any shortcuts you'd like anywhere you'd like. You can add application launchers and such to the task bar as well, it has a lot of options to make it your own. if you have never touched a pi before, I highly suggest using the current raspbian distro! Have fun and enjoy, that is the most important part this venture (as well as the intent behind the makers of the pi itself!) you will learn a great deal about power usage and resource management or expand upon what you already know.
+Derek Stuhler Hi Derek, A quick question here , What do you mean by application launchers? Do you know any that works well on the Raspberry Pi?
The av output has been combined with the volume output and you have to use a 1 to 3 av cable spliter to use it
Hi I have a ras pi b+ 1.2, I never did much with it, I want to just run retropie, is it still powerful enough, or should I just get a newer model. I'd hate to waste this model. I have a little wifi dongle and bluetooth dongle, I don't have a usb keyboard though.
Thanks mate! It was really helpful, raspberry pi b+ configure and now time to try it!
what make of the WiFi Micro Adapter do you have? You didn't need to install any drivers for it, right?
I bought a generic Wifi adapter (no name brand) and it's working fine. I didn't have to install any drivers on Raspbian. It's recognized immediately.
Thanks for the quick response. I was looking on Amazon, and some of the Wifi USB adapters require you to run an installation CD. I actually wanted to get one with an antenna, as my router is on the ground floor and where I'll be working on the RP2 is on the floor above. How is the range on the one you have?
this is one I have canada.newark.com/adafruit-industries/814/miniature-wifi-module-raspberry/dp/53W6285
and this one www.newark.com/element14/wifi-dongle/usb-dongle-wlan-150mbps/dp/79X2198?MER=PPSO_N_C_EverywhereElse_None
both work without installing additional drivers
Ageel Shatry I have not tested the full range but there are several rooms between me and the WIFI router, I would have thought one floor above or below should be OK (Unless you have concrete floors or something, then there could be limits :( )
Peter Oakes Thanks for the info and the great video. Will be ordering 2 Raspberry Pi 2's. It will be my first time tinkering with it. Hope it will be a fun experience. Looks like I will need to learn Linux, or at least some basic Linux commands. I'm in for a whole lot of googling. :)
so I want to thank you, your video is the only one that when I followed the steps it worked. you are fantastic. can you make a video that shows how to get different game emulators on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+?
Just got my RP2 today. Followed your instructions. Thanks again for your upload. Quick question. I cannot get audio working. I'm hooked up via HDMI. I went into advanced and selected force HDMI. I even tried the 3.5 audio jack with headphones. I installed iceweasel(firefox for rp). I can watch video, but no audio. Any suggestions?
You have to set it. Go to prefrences and press audio device settings. From there you can set it.
What model of WiFi adapter is it? (what model of chip is build in). Can you give more informations about them or output of LSUSB?
Here you go

Apt-get update doesn't update any software/libraries! It just updates LIST of available softwares.
Them you have to type apt-get upgrade. ;)
@@raulgomez969 this is how it feels to be responded to five years later
So, you use Internet Explorer, didn't know about df -hT or the sudo apt-get update, said Logitech like 7 times and made a 1/2 hour video?
Pretty much.
Peter, I was using a 4 GB SanDisk SD Card on my new Raspberry pi B+.
I downloaded the 2012-12-16 version of raspbian and I wrote the image with the win32DiskImager on it but, It did not come up to function.
The green LED is bright and steady, showing maybe, that it didn't recognize my SD card or it was some malfunctioning issue.
Do you think this is because I have to download the latest version of Raspbian?
+Afonso Augusto Rios Is this a real San Disk or possibly an "EBay Special"... also if it is not class 10 you may get issues. Did you verify on the supported SD cards list to see if it is listed >
www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/sd-cards.md
elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards
Hope this helps
+Peter Oakes (TheBreadboardca) I got to make my Raspberry work. The reason I guess was because I used an old raspbian on my pi. When I downloaded the raspbian from June 2012 it worked. thanks anyway!
Composite output is still there. It is in the 3.5mm jack.
Yes, absolutely correct, you have not lost any IO that matters, it is just on different connectors.
Thank you for the very detailed explanation!
Hi Peter, I have a problem. All of my usb port are not getting power. I don't know why. Can you help me in this.
The power is connected to all 4 through the board wiring, On examination of my boards I can see no additional fuses aside from the 2A one on the main USB input side. Are you overloading the ports with something, try disconnecting everything aside from the display and see if power is there, The PI foundation has not yet released full schematics so I am unable to confirm the actual connection mechanism for the USB power. If you can not see an obvious problem I would suggest contacting your supplier for a replacement board, regards Peter
I have tried everything. Are there anything to do with OS. One of my friends told me if the supply is not enough OS will automatically disconnect the supply to the USB ports. But according to my knowledge USB ports are directly connected to the supply right?
There is a common issue with watching UA-cam videos on the PI default browsers, I have not looked into this but I have confirmed the issue exists, I would imaging that with Chrome and IE, the required drivers / add ins are included
for instance, right now im using chrome and it has an embedded HTML5 player, Epiphany may not have this ability, could try loading the Chrome Browser on it ?
You can load the Chrome browser in Raspbian? Sweet!
Hi Peter, glad to hear that it is a "common issue". I thought I was going crazy!!!
Yes, I did install Chromium (the Chrome browser for Raspbian) from command line:
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
To my disappointment, it also CANNOT play UA-cam videos.
So, are you saying that there is no way to play UA-cam videos on the Pi using the default browser? Is there any other way of watching UA-cam videos on the Pi that you can recommend?
BTW, are common browsers that run on Windows such as Firefox, IE, (full version of) Google Chrome, Opera and Apple Safari also available on the Pi running Raspbian OS? Or, are we stuck with Epiphany and Chromium (a really lite version of Chrome)?
I have not investigated this so far as I have so many other ways of watching youtube between my surface, PC, Phone etc that it did not warrant the effort
now the Raspxmbc (KODO) is able to play UA-cam right out of the box in a PI so I know it is possible, just not what needs to be added
Found this, it might help
stevenhickson.blogspot.ca/2013/06/playing-youtube-videos-in-browser-on.html
I have not tried it but based on the feedback it seems to work
Helped a lot--great job on this.
Hi Peter, I just bought a Raspberry Pi Model B+ 512 MB with a wireless WiFi adapter. I've downloaded the NOOBS v1.3.12 (Release Date 2015-02-02 from www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/) and installed Raspbian OS.
Everything seems to be running fine. I've kept all the settings as default right now (and will tweak them later).
The Raspbian OS comes with the Epiphany browser. I'm able to surf websites without any problem using the wireless WiFi adapter.
But for some reason, when I launch UA-cam on Epiphany browser, none of the videos (including yours) would play. The UA-cam webpage will simply sit there idling and does NOTHING when I click the Play Button.
Please let me know if you've experienced this and if there is a solution. (Am I missing some drivers?!?)
will you explain how to use an external HD...
hi, what wifi usb are you using please ?
any link to ebay or something like that ?
I am using one of these
canada.newark.com/adafruit-industries/814/miniature-wifi-module-raspberry/dp/53W6285
which can be got from AdaFruit directly of course
and
canada.newark.com/element14/wifi-dongle/usb-dongle-wlan-150mbps/dp/79X2198?MER=PPSO_N_C_EverywhereElse_None
both work with no additional loading of drivers, just need to configure the SID etc and there up and running
Sorry for the delay getting back to you
thanks peter for the response :)
i got myself a D-link,
works perfectly ;)
Hey there. anyone know how to access emulation station(retropie) from the raspbian desktop (GUI)
what could be reasonably expected from the 4 on-board usb ports?
Well on examination of the schematic, there is a 2A fuse from the MicroUSB
Allowing a 500mA for the PI itself, this leaves about 1.5A to share between the 4 USB ports, which would be about 380mA per port but that runs you at the fuse limit so you risk it blowing so I would err on the safe side and keep the USB consumption total to below 300mA per port or 1.2 A total. better to use a Powered USB hub if you have a few devices.
OK, so i did everything you did in the video but mine only comes up to the color screen. What does that mean, need some help!
Can you explain in a bit more detail regarding the color screen, what is actually showing, is it an HDMI screen your using ?,
There is a great forum I participate in that will be an excellent place for help, there is a large group of experts there that should be able to help with specific issues you may have as they may have seen this themselves. I am unable to re-produce your issue so this would be a better place to present you question.

Okay wait how does my SD card NOT have an OS? I did everything it said I put the OS on the SD card and everything. I have a 5 volt PSU and a keyboard+mouse. Why is it still black plz help
If your following the new NOOBs process then after formatting the card with the SD Foundation formatter (It uses Fat 32 I believe ) then simply copying the "Unzipped" files from the NOOBs download on to the root folder of the SD card it should boot once plugged into the PI
Peter Oakes Okay I'll try it today.
I cannot get any video on my monitor after i plug the power, unzipped the os to the kingston class 10 16gb sd and nothing happens, both green and red light are on. Help please!
was this on windows that you made the bootable SD card, and if so did you unzip straight to the card ?, if so this is not the correct procedure, at the beginning of the video you will see I unzip to a folder then use "Win32DiskImager.exe" to write the image to the SD Card available from here: sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
let me know if this helps
Peter, please help, I have raspberry pi b+ with X BMC running, to download MPEG-2 codec I need to serial number for raspberry pie, Ubuntu not recognizing my SD card even though I have downloaded guest addition on Ubuntu.
That was very helpful, thank you.
Okay, I wrote the image file to the micro SD, put it in the raspberry pi and hooked it up to the TV. Nothing's happening. Can someone please help me?
+l Chris l you are saying TV, is this HDMI attached ?, did you follow my newest tutorials on my channel, if not I suggest you watch and follow those to be sure there is no supprises. Are you using a PI B+ or a PI2 ?
hi thank you for the wonderful video, I needed help may be you can direct me!! I have raspberry pi b+ with openelec, how do i find the serial number of raspberry pi. Thanks
I think you just run this at a command line on the PI
cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep Serial
or
cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep Serial|cut -d' ' -f2
for just the serial number
hope this helps
Peter
Peter Oakes thanks for your reply, I have the commands but how do I get the command prompt, do plug my pi to my windows 7 pc using Ubuntu ??
amit b How are you using it today, do you have a keyboard, HDMI Screen and mouse connected ?
If so then open a LXTerminal window (There should be an icon that mentions a terminal on the PI screen, once open, type int he commands i provided
If you don't have this and have not yet configured your PI, you will need to do this first
Peter
So, I do have use keyboard and mouse, hdmi to tv. Openelec software. When I turn the pi on, it runs xbmc, since I don't have MPEG2 codec I can't view my videos, and I need serial no to get mpeg2 codec.
If I take the ad card and plug it in to my computer using Ubuntu non of my external media is recognized but in windows it does. I also downloaded guest edition still no luck.
Thanks
umm my raspberry pi wants a username and password and i dident put one in the settings, what do i do!?!?! did i lock myself out for ever?!?!
+Epic Win Face Pie There is a default user Name and Password
Name = pi
Pwd = raspberry
that should get you in
It will never lock you out forever, maybe just 15 minutes but with ADMIN accounts it typically will not lock you out for long if at all
Dude thank you! i just got a rasparry pi for christmas and im only 13 and really wanna learn to program thanks :P
+Epic Win Face Pie welcome to the fun, I have quite a few vieos and will be doing more this week on the new OS releases, LCD displays etc
+Peter Oakes (TheBreadboard) ok I will be sure to tune in!
good video - certainly helped me a lot ;)
Hello ,
You know about pppoeconf ?
Only whats here wiki.debian.org/PPPoE
:)
could i power my RPB+ with a 5v 1A supply?
+theeverydaysuperman Yes you could if it has a good quality USB lead and you have limited add on's to the PI or use a USB Hub that is separately powered for the add on's, like Keyboard, Mouse, WIFI Dongle, External HDD etc. What I am saying is that 1A should be enough to power the PI alone with a little wiggle room but that's about it if you want be sure to retain stability.
Thank you for your previous reply.However when I try to enable boot from desktop I get a list that gives me four ways to boot up. I chose B4 Desktop Autolog in Desktop GUI, automatically logged in as 'pi' user. Then when I press enter, it asks me to allow sudo apt-get install lightdm to allow configuration to desktop. Then when I press enter again I get a error message saying there was an error running option 3 boot options. Can you help me figure this out?
How do i get root acces
+the gaming guy tom I had the same issue. After some research, it turns out that you have to ssh to the device as "pi" and then "sudo passwd root" to change the password. It worked for me; now able to ssh as root.
Hi my raspberry won't connect to the internet whith an ethernet cable. Please help
Do you have a DHCP server on your network, this would be typically the router in your home, with a default install as shown in my video, I was able to connect with the internet with no further steps, just connected the cable and away it went. Once you plug in the Ethernet cable, one or both of the lights on the edge of the connector should light up and one would start flickering, if this is not happening then check you cable at both ends and check the router port is turned on, on some routers it is possible to disable un used ports. I hope this helps, let me know what the lights are doing and if you get it working
On the Element 14 community forum I work with, there is a great thread talking about Ethernet issues that may well help you figure out your issues, you will find it here www.element14.com/community/message/127712/l/how-do-i-connect-my-rpi-using-ethernet-cable#127712
this is also a great place to go for general issues you may have in the future for interfacing and software
I CANT FIND THE WIFI CONFIGURE
I ill assume your using the latest Raspbian (Pixel)
if you have a GUI then on the top right you should see a network symbol, clicking this will bring up a network configure dialogue
you can also edit the config file here
'/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf', just google 'wpa_supplicant, Raspbian' for plenty of examples.
8:57 3 Model B?! Thats the first gen!
Yo are correct, it is a model B but not a Raspberry PI 2 Model B or B+. if you like a model 1 B :)
has anyone tried running ubuntu 14.04 LTS ?
I have, but I am having problem UBUNTU recognizing my SD cards, even though I have downloaded guest addition, it is still not recognizing my SD card
been 5 years since the last comment
lol, not any more,
really 30 minutes!
Anybody still on here for help with raspberry..plz
whats the problem ?
all this for what in my opinion is dont bother . just build a desktop pc so simple
If you want a desktop, I totally agree, this is not supposed to be a desktop replacement but an educational platform that is inexpensive to get into, and from that perspective it does a great job
I think its still expensive slap on the wrist though. With all the work it takes going into making one of your own & buying the stuff. Buying everything is easy. Putting it together & possibly screwing up everything or not being able to find games, set up configuration & the wifi 7 country code, Is completely not worth it. Its all one big slap to your pocket. Most people I know only want to game with it & it isn't so easy to set up. Where is the video that makes everything clear for everyone to understand without having to go through a bunch of videos & random forums?
Why the fuck would you not put the download links in the description
+ben davey there in now :)
+ben davey because it's not that hard to type Raspberry PI in google and press download in the first page you open
