Official Raspberry Pi Respin

[Jerry3904]

That's certainly better. I've read that throttling starts on the 60s.

I wish to do a fresh install of the RPi respin. However I don't a have a way to directly write an image to my M.2 NVMe drive. The drive is installed as a HAT in my RPi case and not easily removable. I usually write an image to an SD card or USB thumb drive from a Windows or Linux PC. And then that media is booted on the RPi device. So how do I install or write the img file to the M.2 NVMe drive which is part of the RPi SSD Kit in my case?

Install it or rasperry pi os onto a microsd card or any other distro that has the SD Card Copier App installed and then download MX-Linux Raspi Respin onto that and then use the SD Card Copier or gnome-disk-utility to copy it onto the NVME drive.

hey there, just wanted to know if and when could we see kernel 6.12 on the rpi respin?

thanks for your good work!

[Jerry3904]

Well I see that's still being discussed by the Devs on the RPi Forum so we're unlikely to jump out ahead of them.

Problem with desktop and VNC on RPi. When I upgrade past version 23.4, the desktop when viewed through VNC is all black. Applications will appear and can be interacted with, but no desktop graphics. Right-click on desktop does nothing. I tried latest update to kernel 6.12.20, but still not working. If I plug in a monitor, it works as expected. I am posting on the re-installed 23.4 release to include QSI while working and will update to latest and repost.
This machine is primarily accessed through VNC and I only plug in a monitor when there's trouble accessing it, which happens more than I would like .

I have no experience whatsoever with VNC, but I can tell you that a Search on the RPi Forum for "VNC" reveals a large number of recent posts about connection problems that might help.

PS: Did you try using rpi-connect (the question comes up in those RPi Forum VNC threads)?

[ixgene]

I looked at rpi-connect, but it's more like "go to my PC". I want to keep the connection local. I guess I'll just have to stop upgrading those machines then, since everything worked on 23.4.
PS: I did repost the QSI after the upgrade, but I don't see it here (now on my RPi5). If it doesn't pop up after a while, I can repost again. Chromium's response was terribly slow after the upgrade, probably has something to do with the problem, but the upgrade works fine on the RPi5, but I'm not using VNC here.

I am looking for the raspberry pi configuration, on rasbian it under preferences. The performance tab that has settings for the case fan on-off gpio (pre set at 14) and fan temperature.
On MX-rpi we have the sudo raspi-config but under performance there is no fan. Any idea how and where you can set this ?
Reason i wrecked the orginal conector by removen the top put on the table and slide off it ripping it from the board :( So now want to use a 3 wire fan.

Hi MX-Devs,
I have previously included mxlinux in PINN, but I am now trying to upgrade it to the more recent 23.6 version.
As before I have had to remove the "resize-root-fs" script since PINN manages the partitions itself. I have also adapted cmdline.txt and etc/fstab to account for the new partition locations.
However, I have noticed that on boot it skips the "oobe" configuration and goes straight to the login dialog. If I enter the correct password, the screen clears to black, but returns to the login screen again within 3 seconds.
Any ideas what might cause the oobe to be skipped?
