TEST EQUIPMENT

Raspberry Pi 2 Model B 1GB
Panda BT 4.0 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd USB Bluetooth Dongle
Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un USB 802.11n Wireless Adapter

RESULT

Only thing that bombed is speech. PulseAudio does something to
ALSA that screws up gespeaker even when you explicitly select
ALSA output. If you need speech use 9-11 image and "apt install
gespeaker".. works fine without PulseAudio. I need the Bluetooth
module more than speech so guess this is it. The image below is
the final Debian 8 ARMHF release. Please see readme.txt file in
your ~/Documents folder for more info.

How's the saying go? "A backup you haven't restored is no backup at all." I lost all my work on the touch-screen driver edition. Apparently gzip does mess up sometimes and I didn't check before uploading it. :(

It hasn't been a good week, thus far...

Final testing in progress...

So, people often ask me why I do it. Is it for the tons of money? Is it for fame with l33t Linux h@X0rs?

No, it's because I tried to install CUPS (printing) yesterday and hosed up my own Pi. Instead of starting from scratch I used the 9-11 image from first blog post and rebuilt everything.

It's definitely time for another "clean" backup... wish I had already made it. :(

Wondering what non-free drivers and software I installed on your Pi? Don't believe crazy theories on the Interwebzes, consult an expert like Richard Stallman:

sudo apt install vrms

then:

vrms

Robo Stallman actually missed the encrypted DVD decoder from http://www.deb-multimedia.org/ and I'm pretty sure MP3 is still proprietary, but safe to say I'm at least 99% free software. ;)

Speaking of deb-multimedia's repository, they have ARMHF packages for several audio players including Audacious which can be skinned like the popular Windows program Winamp. I even ran across a couple I had never heard of before like the lean-and-mean DeaDBeeF and what's likely going to be the default in the next version of Privacy Enhanced Linux, Foobnix. It's a bit of a resource hog but it also integrates extremely well into the XFCE desktop. By default it displays cover art from the tray icon and pops up playback controls with a right click. Instructions on their site didn't work for me though, I had to
wget https://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/deb-multimedia-keyring/deb-multimedia-keyring_2016.3.7_all.deb
and
sudo dpkg -i deb-multimedia-keyring_2016.3.7_all.deb
before editing /etc/apt/sources.list to add
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org stable main non-free
you can then update apt and install foobnix. It does Internet radio better than Quod Libet too, so really don't see the need for both. I'm still testing it though so we'll see.
