Arm

[addicust]

Unsupported distro, archarm. yes I'm one of the people who got arch working on raspberry pi 5 that has ARM proccessor, I have lot of unsupported software running really fine after it compiles on my machine. :) Add my distro and Ill let you know if it works.

hey there , archarm have been added sorry for the delay why dont u check it out?

[addicust]

I'm sorry to report I could not resolve dependencies. I'm a fairly new user on arch-arm on a raspberry pi 5.

It seems that some required dependencies are not compiled for ARM and are not available in the Arch ARM repositories.

There is not much we can do at the moment, as none of us have an ARM machine to test. If anyone has access to an ARM system, help would be appreciated.

I have not much coding skill, but my Raspi, which is my daily driver desktop, is using arch arm. I have invested so much time making it work and writing a shell script to make the OS run on Pi5, that it is certainly staying on arch arm. Im willing to help like for example should i try and install and see what dependancies arent being met?

This software installed now, in console returned "invalid field float: missing a value". Everything was looking cool, can confirm volume settings appear to worl, it listed wifi networkss, i am excited to try the Bt panel when my split keyboard arrives in the mail. But I did click USB guard and after I entered password it locked out my wireless mouse and keyboard, had to restart.

so does this mean its working now? i dont have an arm device to test this out with...

[addicust]

I just opened it up from the terminal, returns in term
Invalid field float: missing a value
Idk how significant that is.

Was able to switch sound output to a pathetic pair of headphones and microphone hooked up to a USB adapter into the pi. Could not test microphone at this time, no mic software.

Wifi screen appears to work fine, scan sees all avaliable networks in the area, not throughoutly tested, as im already hooked up to the only wifi i have to use. Disconnect connect seemed to work. Didnt ask for password.

Bluetooth screen, shows the charge on my split sofle wireless keyboard, very nice. Have not tested much, connected the board through bluetoothctl.

Battery dashboard appears to work, my pi is not battery though. Unsure if i should somehow disable this or set it to performance. This runs a background daemon correct? May be unneccssary for me not sure.

Display settings appeared not to work in my application, I may be missing software needed for it, Ive not used brightness control of any fashion, my pi is hooked up to a TV. Blue light appeared not to work for me.

Power managment screen lock locked up fine, upon unlock returned
(Better_control.py:163978): gdk warning **: 22:42:50.628: tried to map a popup with a non top most recent.
Killed program.

Reboot worked.

Power off worked.

Suspend not supported on arch arm raspi. Kills better-control for me which is fine.

Logout kills hyprland but the way im set up it starts me back up with hyprlock, because i have hyprlock exec-once and starting hyprland is automatic after getty. This is as intended or acceptable I think, Im not using SDDM or any login managers.

Hibernate not supported on raspi. Same as suspend.

Autostart appears to show enviromental variables? Or stuff related to hyprland config. Impressive.

USB guard not something ive tested.

Im just a FOSS noob. Let me know if you need me to try and dig crash logs out of somewhere. May test microphone next week if i attempt text to speech. Overall functional enough to be useful. Someone on raspi OS might even have better luck. I am using raspiOS kernal and arch arm with hyprland on pi5. Not super super commmon, but ive had great luck .

thanks for the awesome testing on your Arch ARM + Hyprland Pi5 setup that's gold since we don't have ARM gear here.

WiFi skipping the password makes sense NetworkManager already had it saved. Bluetooth working great, and yeah just toggle off the battery tab if you're not running a battery Pi. For display stuff, TVs usually don't expose the right paths,try brightnessctl set 50% manually

the error on unlock doesnt cause any issues so...leave that for now full C rewrite is coming that'll likely sort it. and autostart works the way it does due to the help from my friends here so thanks to them
