Thanks. I’ll try to ignore it.

you can disable the service if you want. sudo systemctl disable smartmontools then it will still be on the system but will not be enabled at boot.

managed to bork my eeprom during the update, after it had finished i was just about to paste in the config when the device hard shut down.
The eeprom recovery image might do something but without being able to plug into it or have it connect to the internet i have no way of checking.
The uConsole powers on with green light but on holding power button id does not shut down, only switches to a dim green.
I think my only way out is a cm5 IO board.
I made pre-configured eeprom.bin for you who guys cannot boot on linux easily.
- rename this file to
recovery.bin. - copy into the directory that have
kernel_2712.img(fat32 partition). - boot
- cm5 will flash eeprom with recovery.bin I expected.
4-a. if your cm5 keep stay in bootloader, not update or boot, you can try eject and insert your sdcard when cm5 is running (using hdmi is better to check progress).

The combination of screen issues, the power button does not shut down the device and that the battery indicator won’t show accurate % leading to a hard shut down makes it difficult to use the console without permanently keeping it plugged in.
Did anyone have the hard shut down but the green led staying dimly lit?
I’m confused about why that happens since I thought the reason for hard shutdown is battery empty…
Mine also stays dimly lit when I try hard shutdown. I can randomly get it to boot every once in a while. Whether its with power from battery or power from USB only. I’m using the Parrot OS latest though so maybe ill make a more detailed post in that thread later.
fixed the same issue for me, thanks Rex!
Hello, the battery indicator seems to have gone from the toolbar any idea how to add it back in? Or anyone else had this happen?
what kernel are you running?
6.6.63-V8 is what it is showing
try updating the kernel. you are not getting kernel updates on the version you’re on. try sudo apt update then sudo apt install clockworkpi-kernel clockworkpi-cm-firmware it should overwrite the older kernel, I don’t know why you lost your battery meter but if this don’t fix it something else went wrong. let me know if that works for you.
Returned error code 1 too many errors
Thanks for this build.

You’ll probably need to flash the new image, it’s not the kernel but some thing that was installed that’s making the battery applet not work.
No worries just downloading it now. Will flash a new image and see how I go. Thanks for the assistance.

@Rex I update the kernel on my current build now my screen is rotated 90 degrees off. what do i need to do to fix it? im grateful that I didn’t have to reflash my emmc. im sure there is something I can do in the console to fix it.
Are you using the standard DE? if so just run raindrop and rotate the panel.
what kernel version did you update from to what version? apt update or manual install?
