DietPi

I don't have a desktop on either of my DietPi installations, so I can't help with that. But if you have a Windows machine you would basically Download the Rpi image Burn it using Etcher or Rufus to a suitable SD card Insert the SD card into your Rpi Hook up a keyboard and screen Power up the Pi Prof...

There's no misunderstanding I'm just plain incompetent.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look.

Edit: It's done, thanks. I never even knew that existed. You can tell I'm a Windows user given I don't RTFM. My bad, sorry!

Hi Sorry for the thread necro. This is what I get: dietpi@Pi3-Server:~$ sudo service squeezelite stop dietpi@Pi3-Server:~$ sudo service squeezelite start dietpi@Pi3-Server:~$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/squeezelite.service dietpi@Pi3-Server:~$ sudo service squeezelite stop dietpi@Pi3-Server:~$ Exe...

So I am trying to replace my Tinker + Armbian with RPi4 + DietPi for a fileserver + transmission + very long Chromium downloads over RDP. The system is totally headless, there's no screen or keyboard and I was using a mix of console and desktop (remotely) to accomplish everything. The RPi4's generou...

Thanks for the replies, I rewrote Volumio to the SDCard and it boots fine so the card is okay. I am going to assume it is another foible and try and get Linaro *ugh* to do what I need. Diet Pi is lighter and might suit me more, but I had quite a few issues last time around too, and Armbian simply wo...

As the topic says, there is no disk activity when inserting Diet Pi SD card into Tinkerboard (non-S model). No logo on screen, like the board is dead. Things tried: Download image again Extract .img file again Fresh write on different SD card Fresh write using Win32DiskImager and Rufus instead of Et...

The Rock64 seems like a decent upgrade and not too pricey. The USB 3.0 and Gigabit ethernet point to being a capable fileserver, and the price is similar to the Pi. I've been thinking about giving it a whirl myself, problem is that in my country things get quite pricey when importing. The board is a...

I didn't really have to choose, I use both! :) I have an Asus Tinker running Armbian Stretch as a home server with Samba, LMS and Torrents, and a Rpi Zero running DietPi for a Squeezelite endpoint (the eventual plan is to migrate it into a clock radio of some kind). The last time I downloaded DietPi...

Hi k-plan, Thanks again for your reply. I am planning on getting a fresh start anyway, this was only a test run. I plan on hooking up a 4TB portable harddrive and let it do most of the heavy lifting, only turning on the Windows server for sync and the occasional archive. However I am unable to see a...

Thanks for the reply, K-plan, much appreciated. At the outset let me state that when it comes to Linux I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm helplessly poking around the menus and Google, trying to get things to work. I am now okay with Samba and Transmission, both are accessible over the windows netwo...
