Installing / Using Raspberry Pi Raspbian
_________________________________________

Download image file from : https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

Format SD card with SDFormatter w/ Format Size Adjustment set to ON

Imaged SD card with Win32DiskImager

Username/Password for Raspbian

Checked the size of partitions with parted

Expanded Filesystem with raspi-config
> sudo raspi-config
option 1

Install gqrx Software Defined Radio Package
> sudo apt-get install gqrx-sdr

Running gqrx failed with “gqrx: cannot connect to X server”

Removed gqrx
> sudo apt-get purge –auto-remove gqrx-sdr

Check linux version
> cat /proc/version

Install software-properties-common to use “add-apt-repository”
> sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

It appears gqrx is processor intensive, therefore the Raspberry Pi B+ is not a good platform
for this application

To run a GUI on Rasbian

> sudo tasksel
select enviroment with spacebar {I chose LXDE}
press enter
ERROR
tasksel: apt-get failed (100)

I tried selecting “Debian desktop enviroment” and “LXDE”
same error

same error selecting “xfce”

Install LXDE with apt-get

> sudo apt-get install LXDE

reboot

a gui is not recommended as it’s very slow

to uninstall LXDE , sudo apt-get purge –auto-remove LXDE , doesn’t work
I could further remove all packages related to LXDE, however I’m not concerned with space at
this time

Setup Pi to boot into console on startup

run raspi-config
> sudo raspi-config
select boot options [3]
select B2 Console Autologin
