Nice :-)

Hello!

Do not get access to raspbian lite via ssh. (release 13.03.2018).
Do I have to use an older raspbian version? The older version to use stated in the build support isn't available anymore.

Greetingz, Robert

Thanks for the update. It worked.

I have two questions (edit: one is already answered by myself ) :
- How do I access the nice modal with the volume selector on mobile? I thought remembering Tim post a nice image of this, but I can't seem to find the link ** I found the speaker icon and the three dots underneath, sorry).
- Any particular change for every script to be root AND also have +x permissions on the /var/www/ folder? I think it is a bit overkill to have both executable permissions and be root just for js scripts that are run on client.

Thanks again,
Rafa.

Noticed that the update was available late last night, ssh'd in, started update with sudo /var/www/command/updater.sh r40a. Left it running, went to bed.
This morning, all done, rebooted, no adjustments and it's working absolutely fine. Now to explore the new features.

Many Thanks Tim.

Tim, update went like a charm (25 minutes on RPi3 via LAN). The only issue I had with 4.0 - time slider on mobile - is still unrepaired. It doesn't respond in portrait view at all and in landscape it does but I have to circling outside this "time circle".
But thank you.

Hi again!

Have forgotten to insert ssh file to boot directory:-)

4.1 is running. Made a fresh install via os builder. Took a while.

What I've recognized so far:

Root file system has already been extended- and I don't know how to change that back- when creating an image with all personal configs- what I always do-
it takes very long in reading and writing with full size of the sd card.

-colour change doesn't work with the samsung browser since 4.0

-with chrome it works but one has to delete course.

Greetingz, Robert
