Next time you should compress the image with xz
that way you can flash the image without decompressing it.
Taks a lot I havenāt got my consolĆ© yet (Iām in the 28xxx batch) but I do really want to use Kali in my devise. Iām tired of using headless SBC each time.
Kali or Parrot Security? Rolling release or stable release? I think Iām going to give Parrot a better look when my Devterm adapter arrives, and if my uConsole arrives.
No audio even after installing patch. What am I missing?
Hey folks,
Thx a lot for this Kali-image, I like it more than the original uconsole āosā
Great work and thx again !
hey guys i found that the kali image is always booting up in powersave mode in case that you wonder why it appears a little bit slow. it than run only at 0.60GHz created some executable files on desktop to change it because i did not found any settings for the CPU operating modes and don`t want to type the commands in the terminal every time i reboot or boot up. Here the screenshots of the CPU performance modes.
how to make it executable on desktop by double click:
need to open terminal on desktop and put the following script in (./test is example file change to your filename).
PS: I also overclock the CPU a bit but do it only on your own risk!
PPS: best in mine opinion is ondemand mode because it is not to slow but also don`t run all the time on full performance. so it did not heat up to much/fast and did not drain the battery to fast.
please let me know what you think was it helpful?
I wasnāt aware of this so Iāll look into it and maybe re-upload the image but only if this compresses it a little? The original file was over the basic storage limit for Google Drive which is why I compressed it in the first place.
If you xz
compress the image itāll still be small but with the added benefits of not having to decompress the image before flashing.
Thanks mate, Iāll keep this in mind for the future. Iāll maybe give it a shot and re-upload it.
Will there ever be a Kali for uconsole kit a-06 or is it better to try to make it yourself? I canāt leave this to Alfred.
I havenāt seen any images for the A06. So far my image creation skills are lacking.
I have a plan to internally replace the A06 along with the motherboard on a Rasberry Pi 5, although I will have to rewire the USB and Ethernet ports as they make the board too thick for the device case. In general, you will have to shake out everything from the case except the display and keyboard; I think the battery module should also be replaced. The obvious advantages are a bunch of distributions, a processor, a graphics core and USB 3.0. The downside is that heat needs to be removed. If it works, Iāll send you a report.
May as well just wait and get a pilet if youāre going to do all that.
you would still need to add the drivers for the display and backlight to whatever distro you want for it to work. just cramming a pi5 in there wonāt change that.
and some way to drive the display.
So sorry ive been pretty busy with a lot but im trying to be back and active again
Excellent work on the Kali port to the uConsole! Its mostly working smoothly after some tinkering but now hitting an issue due to the BOOT partition being 255MB and full. I cannot update the packages now so im wondering if there is a work around to increase the BOOT partition size? Im asking before I jump down the rabbit hole trying to solve this. Any help, much appreciated!
I would probably use gparted to shrink another partition, then move anything between boot and the free space to the right, this should make contiguous space next to boot, then expand boot to take the free space. Itās theory for me, but Iāve had to do this when expanding windows VM storage, or needing to expand the recovery partition for windows updates. Worked for those conditions so it should work for what you need.
Gparted because gui so you can visualize what you need to do.
And that said, yes there are risks, back up important stuff before trying this.
