Hi, I’m using a CM5 with the Hacker Gadgets NVME kit. I installed Rex’s Trixie image and the QMK firmware on an SD card, then copied it to the NVME drive, used it for a few hours installing/running different apps, everything seemed fine.
Problem is when i boot up again it prompts me to do updates and if i accept i get the message “Error installing packages - Error while installing the package: installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1”. After that it can no longer install any apps and gives a similar message, see example below when i try installing Gimp.
I had a look online for errors relating to initramfs-tools and tried a load of solutions (eg. repairing it) but none of it worked.
I still have the SD card i initially installed it on so it’s essentially a snapshot from right after i did the initial setup. I’ve copied it back on to the NVME and that fixes the issue but it still prompts for updates and breaks the same way if i install them.
Do i have to just ignore the updates or is there a way to fix this?
initramfs-tools has updated and raspberry pi doesn’t like building them for custom kernels so you need to change a config. normally my kernel updates fix it. You can issue this command to fix it. sudo sed -i '/^MODULES=dep/c\MODULES=most' "/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf"
Or you can reinstall the kernel sudo apt reinstall clockworkpi-kernel
I need to put out a new image, they updated initramfs-tools right after I put out the last image.
I reinstalled one of my uConsoles today and can confirm that with the Debian image (kernel 7), running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade will initate the error.
Then running: sudo sed -i '/^MODULES=dep/c\MODULES=most' "/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf"
will fix the issue and allow apt upgrade to complete.
