some advanced terminal based text editors are `vim` and `emacs` as for the bluetooth it should work, try repairing again. all the hardware does works in this image. ---

> Something beyond basic text, not meant for programming, but something that would perhaps have just a few settings like alignment, maybe font size and the likes? Hm, not sure how you would change font size in a terminal program, since the terminal controls the text rendering, not the editor. My preference is to use a plain text editor to write Markdown, which looks good in both its plain text and fully rendered form. Nano can be quite good with a few config changes (I recommend enabling mouse support; add `set mouse` to your `.nanorc` file). [Micro](https://micro-editor.github.io/) is another option with a good balance of familiarity and power. ---

emacs-nox is the editor! And TWM is the desktop, uses barely any energy. Investigating light weight browsers, ff and gc are unusable even on a 100W Windows PC. ---

i got the bluetooth to work. dont localise wifi to UK standards in pi configuration as this will mess bluetooth up. i localised it back to US and it works. yeeeey ---

For terminal-based package manager, nothing beats aptitude. And for a terminal-based editor, or a GUI editor, nothing beats emacs. You start with just the basics, but expansion and customization is endless. It can even by your psychotherapists. ---

I am getting super poor wifi using your image. When I built the Archlinux arm, the wifi was completely fine, this is completely unusable now. ---

do you have the stock antenna and is it stuck to the case? was the external antenna enabled in the arch image you used? ---

Yes, stock antenna and ant2 enabled on archlinux, it seems to also be ant2 on the current image according to the boot config. I had a download speed of 3-5 mb/s on Archlinux. With the current image, I am getting around 20-200 kb/s. I seemed to have been using iwd on archlinux, perhaps I ought to try to switch over to that. See: [ArchLinux minimal image with RPi 6.6.y kernel for uConsole with CM3/CM4/CM4S - #80 by Disponante](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/archlinux-minimal-image-with-rpi-6-6-y-kernel-for-uconsole-with-cm3-cm4-cm4s/13190/80) The reason for the switch is that ALARM (Archlinux ARM) seems dead. Moonlight-qt seems to work great on this image though, seems to be decoding just fine, getting good speeds on my wifi usb dongle. ---

the stock antenna stuck to the metal case causes interference. unstick the wifi antenna and give it at least a 1/8in gap using some kind of spacer. ---

could anyone link me to an instruction on how to upgrade an existing system to this image rather than installing on a flashed sd card? i’ve been using the uconsole for a few months now, don’t want to lose all my files and configs. i’m used to arch and rolling releases, so debian upgrades are a mystery to me ---

you won’t be able to upgrade to this image. you’ll need to do a fresh install of it. ---

And even if you build an image from scratch, **you’re still running ALARM**. Anyway, have you tried copying the Wi-Fi parameters of `/boot/config.txt` in your ALARM build to the Bookworm one? Are you able to share logs for clues? ---

just download and flash, just don’t apply any custom settings in rpi imager if that’s what you’re using to flash. ---

UPDATE: 6.6.78 Image Updated image, firmware, kernel, and tweaks to help the CM5 work better in the hardware. This image does not need any of the tweaks below. This image the FS will not auto expand, with people having problem with the sd card on the CM5 I thought best to leave it out for now. If you have problems with your sd card try adding sdhci.debug\_quirks2=4 to you cmdline.txt file. UPDATE: CM5 Audio Now Available! CM5 audio is here! Ker… ---

Hi. Sorry for the noob question… but what if I have one of the earlier releases of your image? Can updates be performed easier and without data loss, or flashing from scratch is the only way? ---

You can update your install but if you choose to switch to labwc all screen rotation will be messed up. you’ll just have to fix it yourself. The updated image just comes with labwc out the box and all screen rotation fixed. ---

My question was unrelated to the specifics of the latest release. Just simply: how does one perform an update without completely erasing everything / reflashing? ---

Update the Debian way: As root in a terminal type: _apt update_ followed by _apt full-upgrade_ No need for reflashing.
