I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with the [Active Cooler](https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/active-cooler/), and I was wondering if using Thermal Paste would make the temperatures decrease. submitted by /u/_dark__mode_ [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Never mind, I'm dumb. It's -Y not -y I tried SSH with -y variable to access my Pi remotely, but I can't open apps with GUI, they give errors indicating that there's no DISPLAY environment variable specified, which should happen when my local Linux has no DISPLAY, but it does. This method works on my PC with Debian, but not on my Pi4 with Raspberry Pi OS. My setup is an Android phone running Termux (Terminal Emulator) with its display Exported to Termux:x11. Both the phone and Pi4 are connected to the same network. On my phone echo $DISPLAY returns with :1 while when I ssh -y to my Pi4 I get n ..read more

Hi, I am using Pi 4 as a download box, so I am running aria2 on it No matter what links I throw to it, it will be finally capped at 10-12MB/s I tested my USB disk, it is like 100MB/S, and I use speedtest-cli for network, which I get 400mbps(or 50MB/S) Now I am confused, what is capping my download speed for aria2? I feel internal storage speed for pi 4 is like 15MB/s, but not sure if aira2 is writing into internal storage before it really writes my USB disk submitted by /u/PiaoF [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm using my Raspberry Pi 5 (8 GB) with an Acer ET322QK 32" monitor. Its default resolution is 3840x2160, but I set it to 1280x720 to make everything enormous so I can see it without my contact lenses in. However, if I leave the Pi alone for about 5 minutes or so, the resolution resets back to 3820x2160, and the display settings window pops up—sometimes multiple copies of it if I am away from my Pi for a while. Does anybody have any idea WTF is going on here and how to fix it? I've Googled and Googled but found nothing that's worked. Also, it may be worth noting that I am using a Lite install ..read more

Hey everyone, ​ I'm currently working on a cocktail mixer for my school project. I've made good progress setting up the LCD display with the joystick, but I've run into an issue. When I press the button to select a drink, instead of displaying 'Cocktail Selected' on the LCD screen, it's showing random symbols. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Code: import LCD1602 from signal import signal, SIGTERM, SIGHUP from smbus import SMBus from time import sleep import RPi.GPIO as GPIO # Initialize LCD screen LCD1602.init(0x27, 1) # Initialize joystick bus = SMBus(1) ads7830_commands ..read more

Hello everyone, I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM which initially worked well even without any additional cooling. However, after a recent update, I've been experiencing severe issues with Twitch.tv playback. I even installed a cooler, but it didn't help. The videos are very choppy and pause every two seconds. Has anyone experienced similar issues or can anyone provide tips on how to fix this? Thanks in advance for your help! At this point i am really contemplating to throw into the bin. submitted by /u/Max1emus [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello everyone, I'm a beginner to all things raspberry pi. I am working on getting the camera (I'm using a V2 NoIR) working with my pi5 for a project I have planned. I have the official power supply also. I bought the mini cable adapter and I got everything plugged in correctly (picture to verify in case I'm missing something). The next step is to enable the camera in the "Interfaces" tab of the config settings, but there is no camera option! When I run vcgencmd get_camera I get the error message command not registered. Attached are the details of my OS. I just tried connecting a differen ..read more

Howdy, I had to reinstall my operating system recently and for some reason it wont let me do something I used to like anymore. I'd go into raspi-config and it'd let me set it so that my power LED would blink during disk activity. I cant do this anymore with Bookworm, and the 6.6.26-vB+ kernel. I'm running 32-bit on a raspberry pi 400. I've tried researching it and editing some stuff but I just cant get it back to how it was. Thanks. Also, unrelated but while I'm here, any idea how I can make firefox less laggy lol? submitted by /u/Far_Diver_1957 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
