Richard,
there were a lot of essential Raspbian-updates for both Raspi B+ and Raspi 2.
I noticed for a while that Raspi B+ lost it's wrong colour display (BGR) for LC,
and denoted it in post "Infos about current LC version for Raspberry Pi".
Now I tested, crazy enough, with a Raspi 2 again what's needed (couldn't do that for Raspi B, all are in use).
Good news for all (Raspi 2, not tested for Raspi B+) and LC 7.0.4:
You don't need the 'framebuffer-line' any more (and it doesn't harm if it is there).
For LC 6.5.1 you, also on Raspi 2 stiil this line in /boot/config.txt (see the FAQs for the how-to):
Code: Select all
framebuffer_depth=32 # for Raspi 2 and LC 6.5.1, also for Raspi B+ always
framebuffer_ignore_alpha=1 # for Raspi B+ always
Now update your Raspi 2 (running Raspbian):
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
download LC-RPI 6.5.1 (at bottom of the download page) and 7.0.4, restart and you are done.
(the usual thing to do: make the installer executable and, this is my advice, install "For you only").
Make your Raspi standalones (7.0.4 only) faster on Mac/Linux/Win, but test before that in the IDE, that
the speed of your scripts is fast enough for Raspi. This is sometimes a real challenge if you are coming from a > 3 GHz machine ...
Now please read again my first post "Hope springs eternal".
If the community can help for getting "updates", giving Fraser Gordon enough time to do this with love, we can luckily go on.

Edit 2: Corrected the info for LC 6.5.1 on Raspi 2.
Edit 1: Corrected 7.0.5 to 7.0.4, sorry.
