Hi all. I’m still kind of a newbie when it comes to linux and I got the devterm to toy around with and become more experienced with it. From what I understand, I’m currently on Ubuntu 21.04 hirsute, which seems to be out of date. I tried following this guide: [Hirsute went offline late July 2022, how to manage?](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/hirsute-went-offline-late-july-2022-how-to-manage/8770) to fix it, but I’m unable to get it to successfully update. Should I be switching to a different distribution since hirsute is no longer supported? How would I go about doing that? ---

I’m running the latest image from clock work… only issue is they have not solved the screen blank issue - once the onboard screen has timed out due to inactivity it blanks out - I operate with an external monitor so it is not an issue but when I do there is no current solution other than force a reboot that can corrupt the sd card. [DevTerm struggles to come back from display sleep](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/devterm-struggles-to-come-back-from-display-sleep/7405) I want to suggest that you keep build notes - I have a set of instructions to load all the programs from a new install - highly suggest that you do that - I’ve messed up the OS installing programs having the install instructions allows you to rebuild the applications you want to use… ---

To re-flash I unpack that file and put it on a new SD card and reboot my devterm right? It’ll basically be installing a new OS? Or is this a smaller operation. Sorry, I’m not super familiar with Linux as I mentioned. ---

if you are in Windows or Mac Osx uncomress downloaded file **DevTerm\_A06\_v0.2h.img.bz2** , you will get a **DevTerm\_A06\_v0.2h.img** ,about 7GB then use [https://etcher.balena.io/](https://etcher.balena.io/) to flash the **DevTerm\_A06\_v0.2h.img** to the SD card Select **DevTerm\_A06\_v0.2h.img** as Image in etcher, then SD card driver ,then go and if you are not familiar with Linux , use another blank SD card for this after flashing, insert SD card into DevTerm again, then Power On ---

Sorry if you have a A-06 processor use the A-06 image. ! ! A-06 is for the A-06 processor variant! ---
