[opensuse-arm] Some success with image for RPi4 from Matthias Brugger to reach graphical interface
Today I tried image: openSUSE-Tumbleweed-JeOS.aarch64-15.1.0-RaspberryPi-Build61.34.raw.xz from Matthias Brugger. After installing xorg packages and pattern XFCE, adding a normal user, and setting the default target to graphical-interface, I was able, after login, to have a XFCE desktop for that normal user. I can use the mouse and the keyboard, so it almost reaches a usable state for me. In order to use wireless one needs to replace the package wpa_supplicant by the older one from the repository. At least 2.4 GHz wireless works with that older version. The system also sees 5 GHz access points, but I could not connect to these. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Shortly after this rather positive result I ran into problems, which according to my findings, were caused by the btrfs file system for /root and /boot. So I copied the content of a newer version of this image onto a SD which was formatted with ext4 for these folders/partitions. Furthermore I have a separate /home partition with xfs and a 4 GiB swap partition. Also changed the UUIDs in grub.conf in the used UUID on that card and made a new /etc/fstab to mount these file systems by LABEL. This system performs well. The main problem is the lack of sound. The system does not show an interface for sound. I would expect sound to be available via HDMI. Should I enable a driver in the kernel? I found a loadable module: modprobe snd_bcm2835, but yast does not report a sound device when I try to configure it. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
