Hi Everyone,
We are happy to announce that we are ready for the second public beta of our long-awaited Ubuntu 20.04 + ROS Noetic image.
You can download the beta here: https://ubiquity-pi-image.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/2022-03-29-ubiquity-gdm3-beta2-testing-focal-raspberry-pi.img.xz (~1000MB)
Please note the following:
- The firmware upgrade script still has not been ported to py3, but we’ve implemented a workaround with python2 for now. The instructions for using it stay completely the same as in xenial.
- The desktop environment is gdm3, the touchscreen keyboard might not register keystrokes at first - in this case just tap delete button once and it should start working
- roscore and magni-base still start on boot, if you don’t want this please disable
roscore.service and magni-base.service respectively.
- This is still an 32-bit armhf image, so ROS2 is not available over apt-get. Because raspicam/mmal support for 64-bit arm64 is still a work in progress, we decided to stick with 32 bit for now.
- Ethernet is handled by systemd-networkd instead of ifupdown. The ifupdown service is not installed, so changes /etc/network/interfaces will have no effect.
- pifi buttons and leds are not working at the moment.
The pifi SSID will be pi-focalXXXX and the wifi password is still robotseverywhere. The Linux login is still ubuntu with the password ubuntu.
Any feedback on this image would be welcome.
Lets also keep all the discussion of this beta image in this thread.
