PSA: 1. Double-byte Characters Display Issue, and 2. Don't pick "root" as the username during initial setup
This 'issue' serves as additional notes for things to do / avoid:
- If your home assistant interface has any double byte and/or UTF-8 characters, they will not be displayed properly as is. To solve this problem, issue the following command either through the console or through ssh:
sudo apt install fonts-noto
- When you first install the Pi OS Lite environment and it asks you for a username to use, do not pick 'root' as your username. Otherwise you will run into problems with ssh login (resolvable but requires extra work), and the openbox windows manager (no idea how this can be resolved).
