Used the BBCs at school as a kid in the 80s before an Acorn Archimedes arrived in 1990. Remarkably there was still a BBC in use in a classroom at the school where I started teaching in 2001!
At home we had any Acorn Electron. Did this make me more or less middle class than BBC users?

Re: SqueezePlay for OpenFrame
Hmm, I'm running the updated version here, but still experiencing the 'back to full brightness' bug. Might have to try it on a different unit. (Bizarrely, a few days before I did this, the previous version completely 'fixed' itself (100% issue disappeared and backlight turned off completely when scr...

Re: SqueezePlay for OpenFrame
Hi everyone. Still Joggling and grateful that so are others. Couple of questions re. Squeezeplay which I installed on a fresh Bionic USB stick running on a classic Joggler last night: Am I being really dim re. sound setup (very likely at the moment) as I cannot get headphones to work without the spe...

Re: Alter install script PnP III v3.60 to exclude games?
Re. The menu order, it's the menuData.cookie file references in the first post of this thread which sets the order, so back it up somewhere (e.g using WinSCP) and then restore it if needed.

Re: Alter install script PnP III v3.60 to exclude games?
You can edit the XML file which shows the applications, either removing or commenting out the apps you don't want. There are two. I'm not near my archive at the moment so I couldn't tell you exactly, but I thinks there's an applications.XML and another one somewhere - tango/GUI ? I used to know this...

Re: PnP III v3.50: Enhance the standard OS - DOWNLOAD HERE!
Thanks for everyone's contributions enabling people to keep using PnP III. I may even summon up the enthusiasm to incorporate the update fix into PnP III (thanks to jkn et al for sorting this for folks). It may have been covered earlier, but I have monitored the one PnP III Joggler I still run (in a...

No idea what caused this to happen! I haven't built in a 2-year self-destruct or anything! I didn't reflash - just used WinSCP to reinstate the following lines in openpeak/gui/applications.xml <app id="launcher" static="1" ext="1" standalone="1" loc="/med...

Re: PnP III v3.50: Enhance the standard OS - DOWNLOAD HERE!
The version number is correct I think - it's Roobarb's tweaked version. This happened the other day on the 1 out of 6 Jogglers I still have running PnP (daughter likes weather forecasts) Webserver was still working but some icons (the ones you listed) went AWOL, including Radio which is nothing to d...

Re: Pi-hole working nicely on a XUbuntu Joggler
Setting up Pi-Hole on a Joggler https://pi-hole.net/ Very quick guide for how I did it: 1. Installed Buzz's latest XUbuntu (ext version) from http://jwills.co.uk/projects/joggler-xubuntu/download/ . 2. Installed it on a trusted SanDisk Cruzer Fit Mini 4Gb USB stick via Windows 7 64 Bit using Win32D...

Re: Pi-hole working nicely on a XUbuntu Joggler
Didn't realise there was an Alexa GUI! I currently have the PiHole Joggler running with screen going off shortly after boot. It is sat on the 'network shelf' behind the TV which now comprises the BT Home Hub 5 router, ReadyNAS NAS, Zyxel NAS and now the XUbuntu Joggler. I did get cross with it (PiHo...

Taken from the PnP III thread: Hello fellow Joggler users! Long time no see. I... i also use as a PiHole DNS ad-blocker, what a great thing it is too, network wide advert blocking...

Re: PnP III v3.50: Enhance the standard OS - DOWNLOAD HERE!
I'll try and put it somewhere to download late tonight or in the morning and will post back when done. Personally I now prefer to use Roobarb's Squeezeplay OS for an alarm/internet radio.
