Upgrading f30 to f31

Bugs

Sugar depends on Python 2

"The current plan is to remove packages with dependency on Python 2 from Fedora 32 in the middle of November 2019."
  • Aug 16,2017 IRC #sugar
"<satellit> ... https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Fedora_31#sugar_depends_on_Python_2
hope we can do this in time or soas spin may die...many of the required packages have already been removed ( the FTBFS policy)
in mailing list discussions devel@lists.fedoraproject.org ...soas is not building after branching as far as I can tell (.iso and arm)
  • "Gwebsockets has been released, with proper support for both Python 3 and 2, configurable at compile time. This is required to fix the problem with Sugar 0.114 not starting in the F31 betas."

Rpi3B+ vs Rpi4

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)

64 bit arm (uses 3 GB of memory)

"Manjaro ARM Preview2 for Raspberry Pi 4! (Manjaro ARM Team)

The Manjaro ARM project is proud to announce the second test release for the Raspberry Pi 4! This is an indication of how far upstream (Raspberry Pi) is with 64-bit support. This is also the place where you get a preview of the upcoming XFCE edition, that will be "replacing" the LXQT images going forward. Thanks to @Darksky for making the XFCE edition a reality!"

works nicely (satellit Aug 5 2017)

Testing of f31 arm (raw) images
Installation method used for testing
  1. Download Fedora-SoaS-armhfp-Rawhide-20190619.n.0-sda.raw.xz file to /Downloads
  2. extract here to expand to Fedora-SoaS-armhfp-Rawhide-20190619.n.0-sda.raw file
  3. start Fedora Media Writer/select Fedora-SoaS-armhfp-Rawhide-20190619.n.0-sda.raw file in "Custom"
  4. insert micro SD into usb Card Reader and plug in it's USB
  5. select RPiB3+ and write Fedora-SoaS-armhfp-Rawhide-20190619.n.0-sda.raw file
  6. exit Fedora MediaWriter
  7. start gparted and expand partition 3 to full size of micro SD (Class 10 32 GB)
  8. insert mico SD in RPi3B+ slot and power up.
  9. install Nodebug kernel https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RawhideKernelNodebug
Suggestion save command for nodebug on USB key as text file; copy paste it into terminal when running booted sd.
Working images
Branched fail GPG check (not signed)
  • There is no f31 repo because we have not yet had a fedora 31 branched

compose finish. So, mirrormanager is pointing people to rawhide. This is likely the cause of all problems related to f31.

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'

livecd-creator

"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"

  • Same install on a 32GB sd: using my Rpi3B+.
  • Only difference: used medium install and only downloaded a few items to test

Installed "Raspbian Buster with desktop and recommended software" (1)
2019-07-10-raspbian-buster-full.img (extracted: 6.4 GB)
256 GB SanDisk Ultra micoSDXC A1 card

Install with Etcher:

In microSD reader
Insert card in RPi4 and power up:
  • RPi4 (with 4 GB Memory) booted and changed GPU memory in "Preferences / Raspberry Pi4 Configuration" to [356] from [76]
( 2019-07-10-raspbian-buster-full - allows changing the allocated amount of memory in the RPi4)
(This appears to increase performance)

 

  • in add/remove software: install firefox ESR
  • in terminal:
 curl d.iiab.io/install.txt | sudo bash
  • chose maximum iiab install size
  • used middle selection for type of install (single point)
  • Start Ansible install

Photograph terminal screen when it shows: "Internet-In-A Box (IIAB) software install is complete"

 

Reboot (by hitting [enter] key)
  • Change iiab-admin's password before connecting your server to the Internet.
You can do this within http://box.lan/admin -> Utilities menu — or at the command line, if you type "passwd iiab-admin".
  • in firefox enter (in command line): 10.0.0.208/admin with user:iiab-admin and the password you entered above ^
Starts Admin console

 

  • test setup ^
