To start, thank you for having audio. It looks like a lot of people like to make videos and just have an on screen follow along type of tutorial. Also, thanks for speaking slowly and clearly. I still need to finish the video and apply what is being shown but already stoked that i stumbled across your tutorial.
This saved me from loosing my sanity... I was about to give up on android all together, but this saved it by making it easier to install it... Thanks for the video!
Hi Chris I have been trying to install MotionEye OS from a downloaded image file but without success. I had given up on it and decided to do some experimenting with BerryBoot because I had seen this video some weeks ago. BerryBoot is fantastic and the installation is really easy as you have demonstrated but the best thing is it includes MotionEye OS as an operating system. So I gave it a go and it worked perfectly. Thank you very much for introducing me to BerryBoot. Best wishes Arthur
Thanks again for another inspirational video tutorial. Now if I can just get my Raspberry PI 3 to work on different operating systems I'll be a happy camper.
I thought so too, its a deep sea critter - A Blob Fish; It gets me noticed if I'm in a streaming chat room thats rather busy - people get drawn to my comment as the comments scroll up at light speed.
Thank you Sir... for inspiring me to blow the dust off my little Pi, and following this tutorial bringing it back to life !.. This is a great way to set up the Pi for it is much better to have multiple Os
thanks for this. I had a problem with noobs not booting raspbian with a dual boot and I just gave it up and did this and it just worked straight away. Thanks
Another excellent video. I like the idea of BerryBoot, it is a useful tool if you want to test multiple operating systems on one memory card and I like the feature of being able to backup/restore and load different OS off a USB device. However for me I would rather have one operating system per memory card as multi-booting can become messy over time and if the card goes bad you lose all of your operating systems in one fell swoop which makes backing them up all that more important. Thanks for another fantastic Raspberry Pi video, looking forward to your next video.
warning for new berryboot users don't do sudo dist-update/upgrade. berryboot uses its own kernels, this type of update, updates the kernels to one's not compatible with berryboot and bricks your micro SD forcing you to format and start from scratch. the fault raspibian shows on boot is because berryboot manages partition space between the various OS's installed, so raspibian cannot resize the partition. raspi-config can also be unreliable on USB storage (sometimes thinks it's not on a pi) I'll edit when I remember my fix. thanks for the great video. more people should use berryboot, despite its small faults it's a really good. p.s. please look at the new pixel version of raspibian. :)
Berryboot for RPi 4 doesn't seem to work. The sequence - format, copy extracted files to usb - does not boot like it does here. Is it because Berryboot is meant to boot via microSD?
I install Raspian on the SSD card using bootberry, but I notice it does not have a swap file. free -h shows zero swap size (used other tools to verify no swap file ). /etc/dphys-swapfile does not work on this configuration. I need to run opencv for my project so I need a swapfile. Can you help with the best approach to create swap file without dphys-swapfile on this configuration? Thank you
You're a great person, keep doing what you do, if you don't like what you do, then do something else. That might not have made much sense, but my point is, do whatever you want, I will probably support you.
Thanks. I try to keep as many viewers as possible happy, and normally this happens when I make videos on subjects I enjoy. Right now, I am trying to keep the channel going on a weekly basis as I focus on other stuff (like finishing a book). There then be more 'major' content -- including various build videos -- in November and December. There are lots of videos I want to make and that I think will be popular, but it all takes time! :)
Excellent video. Loving this channel just for so many reasons!!! You probably know, but you can give the RPi a little more juice for the USB that will power some (but not all) USB 2.5 drives (I guess depending on drive current draw needs). My 500GB OMV NAS in RPi is just powered from the PI USB power source and runs like a dream!
Hola, Muchas gracias por este aporte que da a nuestra raspberry pi mas dimensiones y mejores opciones de trabajo, haciendo que este instrumento de computacion sea más versatil, saludos desde Aguascalientes, Mexico
FYI I am unable to get Berryboot to work with wifi on the Raspberry Pi v3, Berryboot sees the wifi lets you select the wifi just gives an "Error connecting or obtaining ip address. check settings" , even if I give it a bad password I never get a bad password error this tells me Berryboot sees the connection but cant connect, also noticed after installing Ubuntu Mate you have to reboot mate before it will start seeing wifi but Berryboot never connects to wifi, wifi works perfect on all other operating systems I have installed on the v3 Pi Berryboot is the first not to work with wifi. Thanks for the Berryboot video am loving it.
Nice! Very cool...dual boot from a SD card, very nice...now I can install Raspbian and Armbian on the same device. Would like to see a rudimentary command shell and/or a check partition for errors because I sometimes have issues with Armbian locking up (might be my non-name brand SD card) disregard...it's already in there Learned something new each and every day...great video!
Truly innovative piece of s/ware this Berryboot, and thank you for bringing it to our attention. It certainly opens a whole load of new possibilities. Thanks
Have you ever tried installing BerryBoot onto a USB thumbdrive after setting the OTP memory to enable booting from the USB thumbdrive? I'm trying that now but it won't seem to start BerryBoot even though the OTP is set correctly (shows the 3020000a) Thanks for your tmie
ExplainingComputers Ahhh well I’ll check back and wish you luck! I gave up after trying it all day yesterday haha I thought it would be a great idea having BerryBoot start either Raspian, Ubuntu Mate or RetroPi depending on what you wanted to do. I was going to use a Lexar 128 Gig USB Thumb drive so it was more compact for travel. Cheers!
I am not sure if you have already answered but may i know how to enable ntfs media for berryboot to read .img more than 10GBs. I have inserted the USB of NTFA partition but it says no media found. it only supports exfat32 or fat32
Thanks.. I have Raspberry PI and is not loading from SSD Card...starting and then black screen. I want to rescue some files from SSD card so can not format. I set up BerryBoot on USB and want to start from a stick but does not work. I do not have the same screen as you have.
why isn't there an off and on switch on pis?????? when i shut down , i want it to stop using my electricity , so i have to unplug it all the time. seems like it would help to have an off switch. any thoughts?
Thanks! I tried this on a pi4 & SanDisk 128gb ultra card formatted to fat32 (on Linux) and copied the files onto it but it won't boot, not even the coloured square ... Any ideas please?
Hi, thank you very much for this video about letting BerryBoot and try it on Raspbery Pi 3 Model B + and it works. I tried downloading Ubuntu Mate, installed it. But a bit heavy video viewing and wlan will not work. I'm experimenting with others like Kalix Linux :-) but it si bad.
Hello, your video is very good, but i've an other problem, is it possible for you to add a tuto to explain how to convert an *.img file in squashfs format wich is recognized by berryboot to install a new OS from an USB drive ? I need that to install a personal raspbian OS. Thx for your nice job
digitalmediafan you can capy android images directly to sd card and boot up in rpi3.it will not work rpi1,rpi2.i tried android 6 and it works but there are some lags & system is slow.
I went through and did all this but wanted to back up all my roms and files on my SD card. When I plug it into my computer, all I see are the files that were at the beginning of this video (overlays, etc) Why can't I see all the other folders that I know are in there?
How does the hard drive space for each distro get allocated? Say I wanted a small Kodi install because all of my media is on a NAS but wanted to run a RetroPie install with all the media being local on the SD card. Obviously i'd need the RetroPie install to be allocated much more space. Sorry if that was covered in the video. I may just be tired but I don't think it was.
Boot from usb ssd (sda) on a PI 3. I have the Element14 Pi Desktop mounted on top off the Pi 3. Don't forget to change your Pi 3 to boot into USB with command "program_usb_boot_mode=1" in your "config.txt" or test it with command "vcgencmd otp_dump | grep 17:" it repports back "17:3020000a" if the USB boot flag is set. Before installing or using Berryboot create a FAT32 partition on your ssd (usb stick) about 300MB, label it "BOOT". You can partition the ssd on your windows desktop by a usb cable connected to your win 10 desktop en create the FAT32 partition (with MiniTool Partition Wizard). After booting of the sd card and install all your systems, reboot into Ubunu Mate and copy all the files from the sd card (berryboot) to sda1 (BOOT). Remove sd card and reboot. Ready.
ExplainingComputers i got a standard rasbian working but ubuntu mate wouldnt start. With berryboot it does along with openelec. Nice and shining next to my tv
I'm from india and i tried both version of berryboot but i could not find out android OS ,berryboot is a excellent boot loader and easily switch to multiple OS but i want to install android.any suggestion?
Tell me please! When you click "add operating system" in the context menu there is no "install from USB". Only the Internet! And now there is no android. In which system should you format the USB flash drive and in what format should the system file be? Thank you!
Hello again, Hey I noticed a peculiar problem that I just simply can't resolve. When I first installed the latest Raspbian (along with other OS's) I could easily edit the /etc/fstab in the console by just using the nano command. 🙄 But apparently when I didn't type in correctly what I was trying to achieve (automount a networked Synology NAS folder at startup), the fstab became unwritable. Only through using the sudo command I could edit the file through the console. So I decided to make a clean install of the OS. I had other OS's on the micro SD card as well so I deleted them too. I completely repartitioned & reformated the micro SD card to start fresh. 😑😊 But even with a clean install of Raspbian I'm locked out of editing the /etc/fstab by just only using the nano command. Any ideas ? 🙁 Thanks !
I have a question... So after installing an OS to an external drive, when I boot into the OS that is on that external drive, will any apps or software that I install within that OS also be installed to the external drive? Or will those programs be installed to the SD card by default? If so how can I go about ensuring that they DO install to the external drive? Any help, tips and knowledge would be greatly appreciated!
I tried it last night and worked like a dream. Now to just figure out how to get full version Kali Linux over flash drive....I love your channel btw and thank you very much for responding to me so quickly btw.
I'm trying to download puppy on my pi, but would you know how many folders in puppy are to be loaded, mine seems short. maybe that's why it turns screen black when starting.???? please help.
Question Does sd card stays on after booting from usb HDD/SSD I want to creat a system that will keep running 24/7 and last time i built it on raspberry it blew up my card with in 6 months
The card will indeed stay on/connected, but all drive activity will be to the SSD -- and it will have been drive writes that will have killed your card, not being powered. :) Note that the latest Pis (3B+ and 3A+) will boot from USB, so do not need to use an SD card at all.
@@ExplainingComputers oh nice thats something new to learn and yes my older pi was writing quite a bit i will try newer one this weekend thanks for the help 👍✌️
I have the same problem. Doing everything exactly like in the video and all the online tutorials i could find online. Just Can't get berryboot to boot on the raspberry. The sd card is working great with other os on the raspberry pi 2 B and 3B What could cause the problem? Is it maby the brand of sd card? I have formated it in Fat Fat32 ntfs and fatex Nothing seems to work Im curious how to fix this. Multiboot on a pi is again a bit closers to perfection. Ciao kind regards, Daniel
@@danieldewindt3919 I fixed the problem pretty much the same day that I posted my problem here. 😊 The micro SD didn't have a primary & an active partition. It was a logical drive within the extended partition therefore. Because when I got my Netac 32 GB micro SD card off eBay the first thing I did was tested it with a couple of programs for detecting fake micro SD cards (i.e. H2Testw, FakeFlashTest, etc.). 😑 I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to create a single primary FAT32 active partition. The in-built Windows's partitioning program doesn't do the job right apparently. 😕
Tried this with an 120 GB SSD but it says that unmount error after formatting the SSD. After that even if it finishes the install then it doesn't reboot anymore. Ideas?
dude amazing video! anyway ypu can make a video explaining how to make a SquashFS file to add distros to berry boot! we woukd all love you even more! if thats possible....
Hi, im booting up Arch Linux ARM in my Pi 3 B+ model, I come across the login part of the boot up and apply "root" as the username and password and come across "root@alarmpi ~]#:". I then type "pacman -Syu" to update. Once I hit Y it installs then encounters "replace libdbus with core/dbus [y/n] i hit Y and the problem says "errors occered, no packages updated". What should I do after this?
I have a problem with Berryboot. It only allows you to install outdated versions of some OS'es like Retropie 3.6. 4.1 is the most current version and my bluetooth controllers only seem to work with 4.1 but when I try to update retropie 3.6 I get errors when I try to launch it. Seems like a berryboot issue
i tried to install puppy but , dummy me pulled the plug after waiting and waiting . then i plugged it back in and got a response saying that i got excited and they asked if they should ignore which at this point i responded by pushing enter, but nothing happened even after waiting 1 1/2 hr. i gave up at this point. now when i restart pi, puppy is there but when i go on it goes to black screen again. any thoughts on this would be help full. thanks.
glad to see another raspberry pi video quick question is there a way to force osmc to display a high resolution other than what's in the menu got a 32 inch tv that I use for my pi think the resolutions something like 1280 x1360 or something like that
I got an error after selecting the destination drive. It's a 32GB Micro SD card. Something like ERROR MOUNTING PARTITION. I clicked CLOSE then it brought up the ADD OS menu. I selected Debian just to see what would happen next. I got NOT ENOUGH DISK SPACE..... Any idea what caused that error and how I can get around it? Thanks
Almost everything is shot on a Sony HVR-V1E (a very old 3-chip camcorder now) but recorded from its HDMI to an Atomos Ninja recorder. All of my screen grabs also go into the Ninja. For close-ups, my secret weapon is adding a +2 close up filter on the front of the lens. This works on any camera, and allows focusing between 25 and 50 cm with full use of the zoom range on the lens (so far better than using a camera's macro mode). So very much old-school photography and optics are the key. Also a lot of light (usually 650w x2) to stop down the lens.
RPi and its like are outdated, disposable boards for media centers but so cheap it replaces your average Wellemann electronic kits entirely. You could use it in devices like fingerprint scanners, R/C robots, surveillance cameras, GPS trackers, geiger-meters, probably LEGO-builds etc etc I wonder when you will start doing these things?

1000 thumbs up, if I could. A rarely very well made tutorial which needs no revisitation, addition or removal! The power of the pioneers! 😄
Many thanks. :)
y2ksw1 yes it does need more information how can you can add more os in berry boot without it saying it needs to be squashfs file
ExplainingComputers how can you add more os in berry boot because it keeps telling that the img file needs to be a squashfs file
Spot on, Mate. This will be my go to channel before I go anywhere else. Many thanks.
Even now this is still helpful, thank you
Hello! This application is already available for version 4 of the Raspberry Pi... Cool!
This is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a better way than Noobs and this is definitely better than Noobs. Much appreciated!
I have to say thank you, simple and properly explained so that even a beginner like me understands it.
Thanks for the video! I'm getting a Raspberry pi soon and having this will simplify booting between Raspbian and OpenELEC so much.

Lol! the man reminds me of those 1970s Lecturers on Open University (OU) on BBC 2 😂😂😂. He explains very well!.
I was thinking the same thing... I was also thinking, "Well, now we know what Davros looked like before he ended up in the wheelchair".
Perfect timing! I was just wondering how to do this on my raspberry pi

I see they've dropped android from the list in the latest version :(

Android was not officially Raspberry supported, no doubt it'll be back when someone else ports it to ARM. Windows 10 IOT has gone from NOOBS too
digitalmediafan you can capy android images directly to sd card and boot up in rpi3.it will not work rpi1,rpi2.i tried android 6 and it works but there are some lags & system is slow.
That's probably because Microsoft wants money, even for something as a Raspberry Pi OS
Thanks a lot Chir, just what i was looking for mate!

By default any apps you install will be on the external drive, along with the OS.
Would it be possible to add this file to a SD card using a raspberry pi 3 b+ running raspbian OS instead of having a separate computer?
Almost certainly. :)
I tried it last night and worked like a dream. Now to just figure out how to get full version Kali Linux over flash drive....I love your channel btw and thank you very much for responding to me so quickly btw.
Mr. Christopher, would you be so nice and made a video about properly installing graphics driver on Linux?
I'm trying to download puppy on my pi, but would you know how many folders in puppy are to be loaded, mine seems short. maybe that's why it turns screen black when starting.???? please help.
Question
Does sd card stays on after booting from usb HDD/SSD
I want to creat a system that will keep running 24/7 and last time i built it on raspberry it blew up my card with in 6 months
The card will indeed stay on/connected, but all drive activity will be to the SSD -- and it will have been drive writes that will have killed your card, not being powered. :) Note that the latest Pis (3B+ and 3A+) will boot from USB, so do not need to use an SD card at all.
@@ExplainingComputers oh nice thats something new to learn and yes my older pi was writing quite a bit i will try newer one this weekend thanks for the help 👍✌️
Hi,
I'm having problems even getting BerryBoot to start. I get a blank screen after I turn on the RPi 3 Model B. Any advice ? 😑🤔
Thanks !
I have the same problem.
Doing everything exactly like in the video and all the online tutorials i could find online.
Just Can't get berryboot to boot on the raspberry.
The sd card is working great with other os on the raspberry pi 2 B and 3B
What could cause the problem?
Is it maby the brand of sd card?
I have formated it in Fat Fat32 ntfs and fatex
Nothing seems to work
Im curious how to fix this.
Multiboot on a pi is again a bit closers to perfection.
Ciao kind regards,
Daniel
@@danieldewindt3919 I fixed the problem pretty much the same day that I posted my problem here. 😊
The micro SD didn't have a primary & an active partition. It was a logical drive within the extended partition therefore. Because when I got my Netac 32 GB micro SD card off eBay the first thing I did was tested it with a couple of programs for detecting fake micro SD cards (i.e. H2Testw, FakeFlashTest, etc.). 😑
I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to create a single primary FAT32 active partition. The in-built Windows's partitioning program doesn't do the job right apparently. 😕
How can you enable VNC viewer to see the startup / boot screen from an iPad ?
Great Job thanks for making it simple
Congrats on 100k
do you know how this boots? why do i not need to flash it?
For some reason, I was thinking a lot of Windows PE/RE when watching this video, except it's seemingly more developed.
Tried this with an 120 GB SSD but it says that unmount error after formatting the SSD. After that even if it finishes the install then it doesn't reboot anymore. Ideas?
dude amazing video! anyway ypu can make a video explaining how to make a SquashFS file to add distros to berry boot! we woukd all love you even more! if thats possible....
Sir I am your big fan
Excellent! :)
@@ExplainingComputers sir I follow you from starting
Hi, im booting up Arch Linux ARM in my Pi 3 B+ model, I come across the login part of the boot up and apply "root" as the username and password and come across "root@alarmpi ~]#:". I then type "pacman -Syu" to update. Once I hit Y it installs then encounters "replace libdbus with core/dbus [y/n] i hit Y and the problem says "errors occered, no packages updated". What should I do after this?
I have a problem with Berryboot. It only allows you to install outdated versions of some OS'es like Retropie 3.6. 4.1 is the most current version and my bluetooth controllers only seem to work with 4.1 but when I try to update retropie 3.6 I get errors when I try to launch it. Seems like a berryboot issue
I'm just wondering how do you do screen recording while the raspberry pi is rebooting
I use an HDMI recorder. :)
@@ExplainingComputers Thanks for telling might be useful for me in future
i tried to install puppy but , dummy me pulled the plug after waiting and waiting . then i plugged it back in and got a response saying that i got excited and they asked if they should ignore which at this point i responded by pushing enter, but nothing happened even after waiting 1 1/2 hr. i gave up at this point. now when i restart pi, puppy is there but when i go on it goes to black screen again. any thoughts on this would be help full. thanks.
glad to see another raspberry pi video quick question is there a way to force osmc to display a high resolution other than what's in the menu got a 32 inch tv that I use for my pi think the resolutions something like 1280 x1360 or something like that
I got an error after selecting the destination drive. It's a 32GB Micro SD card. Something like ERROR MOUNTING PARTITION. I clicked CLOSE then it brought up the ADD OS menu. I selected Debian just to see what would happen next. I got NOT ENOUGH DISK SPACE..... Any idea what caused that error and how I can get around it?
Thanks
A very good video with a very efficient explanation, plus, he looks very wise...
Thanks so much :)
Amazing! Thanksfor sharing, great job
I am curious what kind of camera you use to make your videos - all of your images, especially the closeups are very clear and crisp!
Almost everything is shot on a Sony HVR-V1E (a very old 3-chip camcorder now) but recorded from its HDMI to an Atomos Ninja recorder. All of my screen grabs also go into the Ninja. For close-ups, my secret weapon is adding a +2 close up filter on the front of the lens. This works on any camera, and allows focusing between 25 and 50 cm with full use of the zoom range on the lens (so far better than using a camera's macro mode). So very much old-school photography and optics are the key. Also a lot of light (usually 650w x2) to stop down the lens.
Where are the files for each OS kept on the SD card? Are they kept separate? What decides how much space to allocate for each OS?
Found my answer. raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/9448/where-can-i-find-the-different-os-partions-made-with-berryboot-on-an-sd-card
RPi and its like are outdated, disposable boards for media centers but so cheap it replaces your average Wellemann electronic kits entirely. You could use it in devices like fingerprint scanners, R/C robots, surveillance cameras, GPS trackers, geiger-meters, probably LEGO-builds etc etc I wonder when you will start doing these things?
