Bullseye Update Needed

Open K2IE opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

An update to python3 that would work on Bullseye is much needed.

I tried installing python2 on Bullseye to get this to work but ran into some issues getting rpi.gpio to build. This in on an aarch64 Raspberry Pi OS install.

Same thing ! Please, an update is needed !

It seems to work after I modify the "/usr/share/pidesktop/python/pd-fixrtc.py" file.

  • adding the () at each "print" command
  • open files in text mode instead of binary everywhere there are opened ! "wb" or "rb" replace by "wt" or "rt"

This file is for python2, the "print" command and the "count" method on string, don't work the same way.

After modifying the file, I run "sudo dpkg --configure pidesktop-base" and all seems to be fine.

pd-check show the following status "install ok installed"

Before the modifications, it was "installed ok half-configured"

The script I modified, don't work well. The existing value of dtoverlay in "/boot/config.txt" is flush ! It's good to know, in ordrer to have the pi camera working !
