Hi again. I found a decent txt editor. Nano for terminal. I used it with Cool Retro Term.
I cannot be happier about this uconsole. It seem that while the mainsteam tech world moves to more powerful hardware but more and more restrictive software, the Pi and Linux world moves the opposite way. Im sold. I aint going back to windows spyware.
One question. Do you know of any other terminal based text editors? 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? Or shall i turn to MS-DOS text editors in DosBox?
Also do you know whats up with bluetooth drivers on bookworm uconsole cm4? Nothing connects. I know about the antenna issue, but same antenna let me connect mouse and keyboard on the shipped with OS. Bluetooth set to discoverable. Is there a workaround? Bluetooth error:
Pairing Failed - GDBus.Error:org.bluez.Error.ConnectionAttemptFailed: Page Timeout

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 is another option with a good balance of familiarity and power.
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.
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.
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.
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? iâve been using the uconsole for a few months now, donât want to lose all my files and configs. iâm used to arch and rolling releases, so debian upgrades are a mystery to me
hey i would like to ask how exactly do i install this, do i just download the google drive file and flash it on a sd card like normal or do i need to add any drivers?
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. youâll 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?
