yes and no. you can change out the repos and update but some apps won’t update because their name changed in the new repo.
you can do a dist-upgrade but that will wipe out the custom kernel and settings for the uconsole, you can manually fix it but if you don’t know what you’re doing it will be hard.
i’d suggest to backup your dotfiles and flash trixie.
hmm, still having a issue where the battery is still showing 100%. May need to do a second calibration?
and what your upower -d says for axp20x-battery?
It works great on my uConsole, Thanks Rex!
Just turned my uConsole on today after charging all night. Ran the calibrate script. Going to run it today until shutdown.

after an hour of benchmark my energy value dropped and percentage went down 1%
so it works on my side, but not very reliable.
sorry for the previous post.
Ha ha! My console did shutdown eventually. I wasn’t watching so I didn’t actually see it happen. I did try to turn it on again to make sure that it was dead, and the system came back up. ??
I checked out “journalctl” and I see some error messages
kernel: axp20x-battery-power-supply apx20x-battery-power-supply: DMA mask not set
kernel: axp20x-ac-power-supply axp20x-ac-power-supply: DMA mask not set
wireplumber[1035]: default: Failed to get percentage from UPower: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner
I had a youtube video on to try and help drain the battery. Don’t know if that crashed the system? It’s been up for another 20 - 30 minutes so far and I can now see more information on the upower output.
I’m going to try a couple more charging to what I think is 100%, run the calibration script, and then use until dead.
Thanks for taking a look.
Congratulations! You fixed it!
I’m probably missing something really obvious, and if so I apologise 
I installed the Trixie image on my CM5 uConsole, and it seems to be working well really well, except I don’t seem to have a key binding for opening the main menu. I thought it would be Cmd(Fn+left Alt) but that doesn’t work.
Is there somewhere I can check? I’m a bit of a Linux desktop newbie 
much more used to purely command line linux server things 
Fn+left Alt opens the application menu for me on Trixie. I am using QMK keyboard firmware though so I don’t know if the stock firmware doesn’t do it.
Ohh, interesting. I hadn’t seen that you can install QMK, I’m doing that now! I use it on my desktop’s KB
There’s a version on the forum here for our keyboard.
there is command wev / xev (walyand / x11) to debug pressed keys, it may help you to point to problem
trying that, it comes through as Mod4, which is Super, curious.
Super is actually a Win. So it should work. Weird.
It didn’t work for me either, but then began. I did nothing.
Actually, I have the same issue with cm5. It doesn’t really bother me, so I just ignored it.
Come to think of it, I’m also curious what Fn+Esc (the lock icon) does. Feels like it doesn’t change anything for me. Oh, it does lock the keyboard I didn’t know that
Hello @Rex , sorry to bring this up again. Still having an issue with the battery. Always showing 100%. Anything else I can do?
