Lithium on the Raspberry Pi 4

cog · 2020-11-09 08:20:50

Hey guys, I got Lithium running on the rapsberry pi 4-b 8GB model pretty good.

https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 15#p108115

I used this as a base image:

https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspi … 64/images/

I installed the bunsen-keyring then bunsen-meta-all (this is the only thing I had to rebuild because it depended on 4 packages that were not resolvable that were either amd64 or intel based.

Then I basically rebuilt bunsen-meta-all without 4 packages using pbuilder and installed from a local directory/repo, probably some more could go (firmware related) but it doesn't really matter at this point.

the only things I changed in the source package were debian/control & debian/changelog

here you go for reference

I have an older pi3b (i think) and it went headless day one, how is pi4 as a desktop, usable?

cog · 2020-11-10 01:52:25

Everything feels normal except for the browser. If raspbian will get their custom version of chromium going on arm64 I think it will be a nice little desktop experience.

cog · 2020-11-10 06:35:01

Of course that was using raspbian. Y’all could roll your own images eventually using this build system https://salsa.debian.org/raspi-team/image-specs
