I’m only supporting the stock raspberry pi kernel with the drivers and overlays needed for clockwork devices. Any added tweaks or driver support will need to be handled by the user. The kernel source is located in the OP if you’d like to learn and recompile. From what I understand though the CM4 is OpenGL2.1 and OpenGLES 3.0 so no OpenGL3.2 driver support.
Well thanks for the reply either way
Btw great work with your build got it running under kde

Well I got another problem
I tried to install steam link and somehow it removed my entire desktop environment
I already reflashed it
sounds link steam link is removing stuff it shouldn’t.
You are right
I will be honest I don’t have a idea why
Steam link is 32-bit only. Installing it requires removing some 64-bit packages and installing some 32-bit replacements, while leaving some other things simply uninstalled with no replacement. It’s not really compatible with Bookworm.

Thank you for your awesome work! The image is really great.
However, I have a problem with audio - the onboard speaker and AV jack do not work with your image. I have no AV Jack device profile. Bluetooth headphones work as expected.
Hardware seems to be fine, since on the stock version everything works.
I already reflashed and tried to reinstall/restart the clockworkpi-audio-patch. Still no change.
Maybe someone has a clue whats going on.
Hardware: uconsole CM4 and 4G module

Update: switched to PulseAudio - now the speakers are working again.
Switching back to Pipewire puts everything back into silent mode …

wow nice work. after trying a few other distributions i got to yours, which actually works.
but im new to linux. my only experience was arch on steam deck. which had a program called Discover where repositories sat nicely.
now the question: how do i install programs on your bookworm 6.6.y running on cm4, no 4G? is there a program that contains repositories? please be kind in your reply. i have read whole sentences here where i didnt understand most words used. i come from windows where things were easy. even ms-dos was pretty manageable

By default the image relies on installing programs from the command line, if you google Pi-Apps and click the install link. Then run the first command in the install section in the terminal, it’ll install Pi-Apps. Run the program and you’ll get a nice curated list of programs setup for the raspberry pi.

right, going through that list of apps i couldnt help but notice how limited it is. maybe because it caters to the whole pi family? i bought this uconsole to install something like writemonkey. the versions they have on their site are archived packages for both 32bit and 64bit linux. how would i go about installing that? please and thank you
I took a look at writemonkey and it’s compiled for AMD64/x86_64, Raspberry Pis are ARM64. You could use Box64 to run it on the uConsole. just download the zip from writemonkey and use box64 to launch the executable from the uncompressed zip.

thank you. and im sorry for being a pest

No Problem, there are some other software centers you could test out too… Like gnome-software, sudo apt install gnome-software
If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

FYI, you can install Discover. It’s the software install tool of KDE. Run sudo apt install plasma-discover.
You can also install the whole KDE Plasma environment if you’re familiar with it and like it. Others in this thread have done that.

im learning commands and i love it.
i tried more distros and yours is the most stable and the best suited for the uconsole. or is it called a fork, and the distro being debian?
synaptic package manager. wow that thing is huge.
gnome-software loads very slow on the uconsole because of its app icons, it doesnt have a search function and the app sections are too simplistic.
discover doesnt display well on uconsole screen. there may be a way to mitigate it, but im not at that level yet.
the best way is the terminal. but im still yet to be able to figure out whats compatible and what isnt before i type commands. if i search for debian bookworm packages the search is too narrow and i dont find much. if i search for debian pi4 packages i may get stuff that wont work
