Rpi3B+ vs Rpi4

• https://medium.com/pi-top/raspberrypi4-f38f12633345

important review

Note that USB3 Ports on RPi4 are Blue

Note that the Red and white enclosure of the Rpi4 allows overheating of the board; run with cover off

(lightning bolt warning in right upper corner appears when too hot)

interupt waits too long before GRUB if no network cable connection

• https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Raspberry_Pi#It_waits_too_long_before_GRUB

"lan78xx_eth Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete..."

That happens without ethernet cable plugged in. You can interrupt the waiting by CTRL+C.

NOTE recent arm images use debug kernel and this fills up the microSD cards quickly; making them freeze up

"fills up sd: bcm2835-dma ; debug kernel?"

sudo dnf groupinstall sugar-desktop-environment

sudo dnf install sugar-runner

• • run each command separately

How to Clear ./sugar

• When making a new VM, to clear the Sugar Journal of old entries and to avoid identity conflicts among copies of the VM, enter the command rm -rf ~/.sugar in the Terminal activity. Then shutdown the VM. This will clear all Learner information on the VM and let you start with a fresh install. Skipping this will result in collisions in the Neighborhood view of the Jabber network between separate copies of the appliance. Verify the presence of the .sugar directory by entering ls -a in Terminal.
• When cloning a customized VM, in order to keep the Journal and installed .xo Activities, use rm -rf ~/.sugar/default/owner.key* in the Sugar Terminal, and then shutdown the VM. enter in root terminal:su (password) shutdown -h now This leaves the Journal entries and removes only the previous Learner's identity key files.
• To clear the Sugar Journal:rm -rf ~/.sugar/default/datastore This may be needed if the Journal becomes clogged with too many entries. USE WITH CAUTION'

"Why not just use livecd-creator? It is still maintained by the community (mainly Neal Gompa, see https://github.com/livecd-tools/livecd-tools ) and it supports this IMHO essential feature. And livecd-creator typically accepts kickstarts written for livemedia-creator with few to no changes, unlike the other way round. Kevin Kofler"
