Hi! I am trying use v2rayA with this image. It connect to server, but doesn’t use any traffic from browser or terminal. Anyone get how to use vpn clients like this? Can you help with that?
I’ve never used it before but tailscale and openvpn both work fine. Setting anything up on this image will work the same way as the official RPi bookworm image. If they have a guide then follow that.

I’ve had a hell of a time getting wireguard to work. Once the VPN is connected no addresses resolve. I’m using an older build of your image so maybe I need to try a newer one.
Did you do it by manually installing the packages or with pivpn for example?
Tried to add the interface in the network manager UI, got frustrated when I could not figure out how to make it work and then just created a wg0.conf file. The VPN connects but I don’t think things are being routed properly.
VPNs can be hard to trouble shoot too depending on how your network is. My work computer is behind a double nat that I have no control over and found tailscale to be the easiest solution for that.
sorry if this is a stupid question, but if possible to upgrade this to be compatible with cm5, what would i need to update? i understand i could start fresh on cm5 but i’d prefer not to if possible. thanks and sorry again if this has already been answered.
You need to change out the clockworkpi-firmware with the clockworkpicm-firmware package to get the newer firmware and blobs for the cm5 and change out clockworkpi-cm4-kernel with clockworkpi-kernel. backup your install first good luck.

Well, I’ve had this VPN to my home set up and working just fine with multiple devices for a few years now. I’m not sure why the uConsole is the only device not working with it.
Did it work with the official image?
how does one go about swaping those out? sorry for asking.
im about to get a 1.5tb sd card to replace my 1tb card and when i do ill have a backup to just reclone over. ill admit while im not new to linux, i dont typically dip my toes further then ubuntu. but id definitely like the performance upgrade to cm5 and doing both upgrades at once would be ideal.
If you want to be able to update then you have to force remove and install the new packages with dpkg
Sorry Guys, this will be good for me to change the cm4 lite?
That one will work but the CM5 is still experimental. Currently the audio doesn’t work and Raspberry Pi needs to create the drivers for pwm audio on the RP1 chip. They might not do it at all so don’t count on audio working the stock way.
The panel (display) fails to display an image about 20% of boots, I’ve been working on that problem.
So if you want something that just works stick to the CM4 for now, but if you are a tinkerer or don’t mind having to do a few restarts to get things working then get the CM5.

Why did my screen flicker and then go dark?
CM4 or CM5? On the CM4 the screen flashes when power is first applied then goes dark until the kernel starts the screen. On the CM5 if it flashed then when dark the screen failed to start and needs rebooted.
In both cases on the first boot the CM4/5 will boot and expand the FS and create ssh keys then reboot.
I have installed a CM4 on my Uconsole, and I would like to ask you how to install the image for the Uconsole. I burned the image to an SD card and inserted it into the Uconsole. After powering on, the power light turned green, but the screen flickered and then went black. What should I do? If I leave it as it is, it remains black. Do I need to restart it again after it flickers?
what model cm4 do you have? is it emmc? did you try and boot with the official distro? if not have you verified all connections and hardware orientation of the build?
It has 8GB RAM Lite version, and I am using the official image for the Uconsole CM4 version. It flickers and then goes black. Do I need to restart it after it flickers?
