AudioLinux - un nuovo Sistema Operativo per HQPlayer, ma non solo

[hifi25nl]

Hi Piero,

Raspberry Pi 3 only came with 1GB of RAM, do you think it's feasible for you to reduce the size of AudioLinux image significantly for running headless ramboot mode?

Thank you.

I have made a Pi3 B+ image 64 bit with lxqt desktop, but also for an headless image command line only it would be impossible using audiolinux/archlinux arm, since

"When ramroot is enabled, during the initial phase of boot the amount of detected RAM on the computer along with the size the root filesystem to be copied is shown on the screen. If there is at least 500MB more RAM than the size of the filesystem, the user will be prompted to load the root filesystem to RAM. (Confirmation prompt defaults to yes with a 15 second timeout.)

The size of the zram partition created is determined by taking the size of the root filesystem plus half of the extra available RAM (to a maximum of 6GB)."

Hey Guys,
Could someone please advise how I could get wifi started on my comp. I'm running AL/Ramboot on my MacBook Pro & I wish to try out Roon as a dual PC setup and to control it via a remote (iPhone/iPad). Otherwise I have no need for wifi, Ethernet works flawlessly when I plugin the Ethernet cable.

Please see pics, is there some filing in the blanks I need to do...

Thanks

The wiki on archlinux is a little complex. Take a look on Fedora wiki:

Salve a tutti
Sono nuovo nel forum, ed avrei un paio di domande riguardo audio linux.
Ho un mac mini che uso come sorgente con euphony come softw. di sistema. Un ssd da 3 Tb interno serve da biblioteca e da sistema.
Roon é il softw. Per la biblioteca e hqplayer é il renderer. Dato che l´ attivitá die Roon necessita un po di risorse, mi son preso un secondo mac mini da usare come renderer cosí da separare le funzioni di otganizzazione e manutenzione delle biblioteche e quella die renderer. Vorrei installare hqplayer nel scondo mac mini ( mid 2011, i7)in un sistema minimo come audio linux, il tutto headless. Non voglio tenere osx come secondo sistema, quindi voglio sovrascrivere il HD. Non ho esperienza con linux, ma vorrei provare, avete dei link specifici per mac? Consigli o sconsigli? Grazie

Sono riuscito ad installare e far partire audiolinux, headless. Sono solo i primi minuti di musica, ma l‘impressione é buona!
Installato in un mac mini i7 (2011) e funziona da solo renderer con roon bridge pilotato da roon core in un altro mac mini.
Quello che ancora non riesco é collegare il roon core con hqplayerd in audiolinux, e come cambiare le impostazioni di hqplayer
Consigli?
