Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@ExplainingComputers says : Greetings! If you are surprised that this video released 14 hours early, then so am I! It seems I set the release date correctly, but not the time, so the video released at 12:00am GMT (00:00), not 2:00pm. My bad. But at least I got the date right (UK time), so my record of releasing a video every Sunday since December 2015 remains unbroken . . . which is something I will return to in next week's episode.>> <<@tutacat says : If the USB device you're booting from doesn't spin up or show up quickly, you can also enable a 5-second USB boot timeout. If your USB boot device doesn't show up quickly, and you don't want a different drive or SDcard to boot during that delay; you can use a FAT32 sdcard partition and set program_usb_delay=1 (i.e. in bootfs on a Pi SDcard) in config.txt>> <<@grahamshedd9225 says : Very exciting!>> <<@WildRadio.73 says : 🥰👍>> <<@elevate32767 says : I used your tutorial to set up a dual-boot sdcard for my Pi 400! (Recalbox and Raspbian, Recalbox as sticky after 20 seconds)>> <<@elevate32767 says : Chuck Norris bows down to this bowlcut guy>> <<@crisgrant3745 says : Thanks - sucess - however, I also installed your KDE Plasma Custom version available in PINN today. It wont let me past the login screen _ password? I would have thought the online / available version would let me do a freshh login like all the other OSs....apparetly I'm missing something somewhere.... C>> <<@waddahmustafa2954 says : 09:40 RIP Crucial 😭>> <<@tonper says : Thank you very much for this video, you have the gift of explaining technical matters extremely well.👍>> <<@Snakeblood313 says : Massive SD Cards are crazy>> <<@KevinSingh-u2z says : Hey please help me. My pi 5 4gb isnt connecting to ethernet and the cable works fine and it wont access network installer>> <<@martinielsen says : Great but is this possible with a Bluetooth keyboard? I don't have a wired keyboard.>> <<@KevinSingh-u2z says : @legacycomputers , Do you know if RetroPie is there or can i add it?>> <<@Xeliman-24 says : Pinn is totally garbage full of bugs, berryboot was the best too bad it's abandoned>> <<@djr_nold says : thank you, it worked well!>> <<@guysongsing says : how to boot my raspberry pi cm5 from 256gb ssd and use my 2tb sd as default file system?>> <<@MartinDurik says : Hello, may I ask question? I have pi 500+ and I bought 1TB drive for it, I want to have raspbian and the 256gb batocera image with amiga games in IMG format. How can I use that image to use it in multiboot so I can choose between raspbian and batocera when booting with Pinn?>> <<@stefankonig2426 says : Thanks a lot!>> <<@rocon86 says : Any ideas how to fix the no sound through HDMI on Emteria? There's a slash through the volume control icon.>> <<@bobbob-wv7ho says : Ahh very nice thank you! I don't need to flip out cards anymore! Either rasp os or usb boot batocera for gaming. Cheers 😊>> <<@jefpeters67 says : Hello Chris, i Like your content very much,I have a question that you might know: is it possible to install Raspberry Pi OS and Fyde OS on one NVMe using PIN? I know Fyde O is not in the Pinn menu, but is it possible as a img i can manual put in?>> <<@ForsetiAE says : You sound like a teacher but I like watching your videos. Closest thing we had was a science class with some computer stuff nothing as cool as what you're doing.>> <<@marknorville2692 says : I am not going to watch the video, however Pinn I have just used in August 2025. I installed three operating systems on there, or might have been four. However, one does not work for some reason. So this is not a perfect solution. I am using a 4 TB NVME drive, so I am not sure if that has something to do with it.>> <<@YTFP_Chris says : you can also network boot off an nfs share, although more advanced.>> <<@Coyotehello says : A small note option 5 is not boot loader option anymore, for some reason it only allows official release of beta release ???>> <<@johnmiddleton8087 says : Thanks for your tutorial, I have the same M.2 as yourself. When pinn loads up and the os is auto selected it takes 45-50 seconds , is this roughly correct or should it be faster .>> <<@AbandonedOutlaws says : I was thinking about trying to build a handheld console for my son, one for playing Roblox and the other for playing retro games, then perhaps another for a standard PC>> <<@elektron2kim666 says : I'm considering an SSD for my Pironman 4 setup and this video popped up. These system tricks/updates are quite useful.>> <<@williamBryan-k2e says : glad you did this one. I rebound my Rasp Pi 4. ( Don't ask ). anyway, when playing with rasp pi now, I found out that if I loaded ubuntu, I did not have the rasp config programs. so to update firmware, I had to re-load rasp pi os.s Now tying up 2 micro-sd cards.s It would be so smuch nicert to have both OS's on an sd car ( or more ) and boot what os I liked the best, then bood Rasp Pi OS on firmware or other updates. or to run other tools needed. I have tried to press the space bar for boot choices and it did not work. I had done a firmware update before the test -so I thouhgt that I was setup , but now I know - go for 'latest' not 'default' for firmware update. so I will try that. but I really one to multiboot. for the reasons that I have said. thank hyou again>> <<@blastedoakpyrography6168 says : I want to have ubuntu and risc os on the same sd card, I'm a total novice and I'm unsure which is the best way to go around this, can you help?>> <<@gera80s says : Thank for your halp. Excelent video!>> <<@JLowe-uu8lr says : !=8)>> <<@claudem.p.7969 says : is it possible to add WINDOWS 11 ?>> <<@erintyres3609 says : I have always thought that grub is the very worst part of Linux. I am happy to see that Pi users still don't need to use it.>> <<@tonyweavers_M0SHG says : Another great video. Thank you.>> <<@magcubichy300 says : does it work on orange pi 5?>> <<@JohnClemence says : Just a quick observation (but took me longer than it should have to solve). I have Ubuntu on the SD card and Raspian on a M.2 drive. But for the life of me I couldn't get my 8GB Pi5 to respond to the space bar on boot up. Then I realised that, because I am sharing the keyboard, mouse and sound between four computers the Pi5 wasn't able to register the presence of the keyboard in time. Solution - plug a spare keyboard into a spare USB socket and 'hey presto' the OS choice screen appeared as shown in your wonderful video.>> <<@EverythingStudios2026 says : Only video that actually helped. Thank you so much!>> <<@Jmayone says : 11:31 No storage devices found. There is a boolean for "Exclude System Drives" but message persists regardless of state. Interestingly, I am using RPi 5 in same case with a WD 1TB drive.>> <<@chemistryguy says : Informative video, thank you. Not to be a bother, but would you have any insight into that following? I recently used PINN to partition Raspberry OS and Batocera onto a 500gb NVME. The version of Batocera available to install was V39, and when I tried updating to V41 I got an error message stating there wasn't enough room on the boot drive. Are you aware of a way to resize the boot drive to allow for updates? If PINN eventually updates to a more current version would a reinstall overwrite the rom and scraped data?>> <<@locuda2010 says : Do you use "ventoy" to do "pinn" type functions as well. Entry level newbie. I assume there R many options. But I see you like " proper" computing user interfaces. Thank U for vid>> <<@Matt_Eagle_777 says : It is not to be underestimated how important this video is for raspberry pis and their users. This is because it explains how to easily 1) boot from something else than an SD card, i.e., an SSD card can be used. This way, a raspberry pi can allegedly become A LOT faster and A LOT more reliable than with an SD card. That means, you have a pi that is a lot faster without much hassle. 2) It explains how to use multiboot. That means that it is easy to try out different operating systems, which for many people equals to what a computer is like, and which for many linux users is essential to have fun with their computers, since they like to "distro hop". So: Thank you very much. Your work is very important.>> <<@datadigestionchannel says : Can you multi boot on the clockwork uconsole ?>> <<@ninline2000 says : I have been shutting down from the terminal for so long that I'd forgotten there is a menu option.>> <<@ID-107 says : AFAIK PINN means PINN Is Not NOOBS>> <<@xXjoehotXx says : not intersting for that new rasps - whats bout the older ones where its not that eas ??? boot concept on 1st or 2nd rsp is interstin ... a boot menu and or boot from usb instaed of usd ...>> <<@furuisamumoto says : Hi, I'm running Raspberry Pi 400, still in bullseye though. I already change the bootloader release into latest, but only get 11 May 2023 update. And of course, nothing happened when I press spacebar at boot. What's wrong?>> <<@StephanBeal says : Chris, i have _one tiny nitpick_ which i can no longer stop myself from mentioning: typing "clear" in the terminal _is not necessary_ to clear it. Just tap ctrl-L. Presumably you know this but you type "clear" to be explicit for the viewers, but... as a long-time sufferer of severe RSI, it _literally_ pains me to watch you type 6 keys (including ENTER) where 2 will do. _Please_ consider switching from "clear" to ctrl-L. 🤓>> <<@thepld says : “Proper computing” you’ll eat up any slop as long as it looks sufficiently old>> <<@Biadosaru says : Quali-tea content 13:45>>
