I’m going to be uploading a new image today.
What CM are you using? How are you shutting down?
I copy the image with balenaEtcher-Portable-1.18.11
then I remove all powersave settings with power manager .
Then I did
vncserver
Then I did all commands from tinyvnc remote
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
then ```
sudo apt remove mitmproxy
and sudo apt-get install gnuradio
at this time, I can’t do anythink on remote so I shutdown on clockpi
the result : at the login prompt , keyboard get crazy - auto filling and same error as yesterday
login kali/kali can’t work return to prompt
I’m using a CM5 standard card on the cm4/cm5 board
Doing a dist upgrade is replacing my custom kernel with the stock Kali kernel. You need my custom kernel for the device to work properly.
I just uploaded a image with a updated kernel in the mega link.
I ll try right now . Thanks for advice with dist upgrade
2 problems on new image
1- sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade → impossible to log in
2- sudo vncserver → tinyvnc on remote displays a grey screen

How to get splash animation on boot? Tried parameters in cmdline.txt, but still no go, verbose mode still appears…
I’m not sure if there is a solution installed by default that does it with the Kali image. You could install plymouth and setup a splash screen that way.
Was referred to this thread.
I’m a newbie here! Brand new uconsole owner and ready to start learning! I installed the old Kali Linux distro that was threaded on here back in 2023… I’m having alot of issues with it not being able to install basic things like python idle or anything really…
Was told this was much better.
Is there any special install instructions, besides just downloading the MEGA file, copying and pasting with RPI imager onto my SSD and inserting and going to play?
Again, I am brand new to this, very unfamiliar with Linux and the like, so be gentle! Thanks yall! I appreciate any help!

Just download flash with rpi imager without any custom settings. Stick the SD card into your device and let it rip.
Username and password is kali/kali

Curious to know if you or anyone is working on a black arch build for uconsole or if there is already one? How’s the parrot OS running so far?
I’ve just been having lots of issues on the console with Linux not wanting to run a darn thing that isn’t pre-installed.
How is the Linux updating on your build? Any issues there? Just trying to figure my best route for being productive and learning. Thanks!

Parrot runs good better then Kali IMO, but my choice of distro is Debian.
My kali, DragonOS, Ubuntu, Manjaro images are fully working they just don’t receive kernel updates. The kernel is held at what is was available when I built the image. I do update the images regularly though.
Debian, ParrotOS, twisterOS, RetroPie all receive custom kernel updates from me. If you’d like to go a more supported route. Debian Bookworm is also the official distro for the Raspberry Pi so most guides will be for it.
Check out Pi-Apps for a bunch of software already configured for the Pi.

You can set up an arch linux install and install black arch on top of it.

Do others have an output when running sudo bettercap -iface wlan0 with net.sniff on on Kali 6.12? Nothing happens in my terminal when doing so while wifi.recon on is working fine.
not sure the built in wifi adapter will work.
sorry, wlan0 was wrong, it is wlan1 (usb wifi stick). while on Bookworm 6.12.y net.sniff on does show data in the terminal with this stick (at least sometimes), this is not the case with kali. maybe it is the stick, but I just wanted to know if it works for somebody at all to make sure it is not related to the distro
which usb adapter?

The chipset is Ralink RT2870 / RT3070 which is an older chipset which is known to support monitor mode and packet injection.
Hello, first time commenter on anything uConsole related. I really like this build, but had a question if you were going to incorporate the programs and configs in the next version which pertain to the RTL-SDR/LoRa/GPS/RTC board? I’m a beginner user of linux in general and am relying on tutorials that mostly don’t do anything to help. You can call me dumb for even attempting to buy something like this blindly with no linux experience, however I’m challenging myself to learn linux exclusively on uConsole (as best I can). I have no idea what the Kali pen-testing tools even do or what any of these acronyms mean, but I do like the theoretical power it yields. I’ll eventually learn. I appreciate what you do for this community, I certainly don’t understand how you just program and maintain these repos like its a cake, but you’re certainly a great help to get things kicked off for beginner users in general.
You’re not dumb at all, everybody starts somewhere. Jumping in head first is a great way to learn.
I won’t be incorporating any of the hackergadgets boards configs into my images because if you don’t have the board installed something’s won’t work right.
I have put together a package that will install some apps and configure the board here.
It is packaged for any debian-based distro, which Kali is. I have not tested it in Kali though. You should just be able to issue this command to install and configure it.
sudo apt update && sudo apt --install-recommends install hackergadgets-uconsole-aio-board
Let me know how it works for you and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.
