Yet ‘sudo apt install btop’ (example) still generates lots of perl warnings such as…
Setting locale failed
Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale. No such file or directory
Please check you locale settings… are supported and installed on your system.
UPDATE… Gave up fighting and reinstalled Trixie, working fine.
@Rex is there a way to get an overlay option for the DevTerm using a Pi 3 (specifically the RPi CM3+Lite if it matters)? I noticed the uConsole has a CM3 has a Pi3 overlay but not the DevTerm.
I love my uConsole and use it a LOT, and came into possession of a DevTerm and have a RPi CM3+Lite to stick in to replace the A06 in it. I love your OS, you have done a really good job with it, and I would like to run it on the DevTerm too.
The driver for the display of the DevTerm and CM3 won’t compile with kernel 6.1.y or newer. The current driver doesn’t work at all with the CM3. I’ve tried to rework the old driver but I don’t have a DevTerm to test with anymore and remote testing never works out. So if someone gets it working I’ll add it to the kernel and images then.
@Rex My uconsole is arriving soon, and I will get this Trixie Debian OS on my uconsole. Is there any message that tells me anything I need to know for installation, for a clean install, or anything like that?
Tip: if anyone’s wondering why XFCE4 (X11) brightness controls are not working on lite image, make sure to install pkexec. It also fixes the keyboard shortcuts. Took me a while to realize how this works.
Hey @Rex, shot in the dark here, do you happen to know anyone who got a newer (than the ClockworkPi) version of Raspberry Pi OS running on the DevTerm with a CM3/CM3+ installed?
No, I didn’t have a cm3 when I had a DevTerm, I tried making changes so the panel driver for the cm3 and DevTerm. So it would compile with a newer kernel but it didn’t work and without one in my possession makes it hard to test and troubleshoot.
Ok, thanks for all the work you have done. Maybe I will get a CM4 and adapter for this DevTerm. In the meantime I found the new addresses for the Raspbian Buster repos since they were archived, so I can at least have Buster up-to-date, even if Buster is “out of date”.
there is no GUI / graphical interface on lite. it’s “like” a server variant (not really)
you can install some windows manager on lite and use it as full. full is just already configured for uconsole so you can begin to use it right away. I would recommend to use full if you do not plan to use some weird DE/WM and want to keep system “clean”
Just created my image on an sd card and doing the setup now. Anything I should do first? Anything I must add?
I plan to charge all night tonight and do the battery calibration tomorrow.
After I have things setup and working the way I want I will move the image to the NVME drive and boot from there.
Would still like to have it set to boot from the SD card if one is found.
