Hello All,
I guess many of you will have seen my name around GNU Linux and Ham Radio VI
lists. Well I monitored what you guys were saying about the Pi and thought I
wouldn't bother as I'd had enough of people calling me a geek etc. Plus I
simply just have too much stuff.
Well I saw Mike's notice that speakup was running on a Pi, so I was tempted.
But still resisted until my personal assistant informed me of a raspberry jam
here in Preston. So I booked his support for that meeting. That was Monday. On
Tuesday, I got in a taxi to our CPC outlet and got a Pi.
I had found the accessible Arch image and grabbed it. I couldn't wait to have
the time to play with it.
I firstly, run it with a HDMI cable attached. Not because I have enough sight
but I'd be able to see if it was doing something and I hoped the sound would
come through the TV's speakers. But this didn't work. I eventually found a pair
of headphones and plugged them in and pressed return. I was well impressed, I
heard that old familiar espeak voice.
I'm not familiar with Arch but I've already installed programs via pacman. I
intend upon going to the next jam and leaving it hooked up to my jam-box
playing some music.
Mike, regarding your comment on the site: Using ssh is the same as Linux for
the Mac. I have run ssh from my Mac to run pacman etc. However, VoiceOver is
nowhere as good as speakup. I used the ifconfig command on the Pi to establish
it's IP. Then went to the Mac opened a terminal and entered:
ssh user@192.168.1.9
I was then prompted for the password. I have installed xcode and macports but I
do believe that ssh is a standard part of OS X.
I have had problems subscribing to this list with my personal domain email
configuration, so out of frustration used my hotmail address.
73 to Hams and Regards to the rest. I look forward to contributing and learning
from you all.
