I want to use a more recent version of Raspberry Pi OS on my Potato than the Raspbian images on the libre computer website provide.
I have tried updating and upgrading the stock images with apt but that breaks the wayland display which leaves me nowhere.
Can standard Rapberry Pi OS images be used in combination with some libre-specific updates for the wiring libraries etc? What updates are needed?
I much prefer the libre hardware to the standard Rpi, but I need software updates that work, so I may have to switch hardware.
Alternatively will there be newer libre-specific images available any time?
What breaks exactly? We have labwc and wayfire running through apt update.
What breaks? I get no display at all. I haven’t spent any time diagnosing it.
This was from a clean install of the Raspbian image, with Wayland working. After the updates no display.
Tell me what else to look for and I’ll happily give you more information. I’ll also repeat the installation and upgrade and log it, if that will help.
Can you try this on the image?
wget https://deb.libre.computer/repo/pool/main/libr/libretech-keyring/libretech-keyring_2024.05.19_all.deb
sudo eatmydata dpkg -i libretech-keyring_2024.05.19_all.deb
sudo apt update
sudo eatmydata apt install -y libretech-keyring xserver-xorg-video-libretech ssh
sudo eatmydata apt dist-upgrade -y
It’s because Raspberry Pi decided to add hooks in various packages to install their kernel. You just have to manually remove the Linux kernel with rpi in it so grub does not find it. Run the following after sudo apt dist-upgrade and before you reboot.
sudo apt remove linux-image-*rpi-*
