13th May 2016 Changes to the Raspbian Jessie Desktop
Take what I advise as advice not the utopian holy grail, and it is gratis !!
Re: 13th May 2016 Changes to the Raspbian Jessie Desktop
Is the new Raspbian image already on the download page? I only see the older Raspbian image from March 2016.
Same with
… list zero updates for me so far.
Is there a command to see if the Pi runs the recent Jessie? I know "uname -a", however it lists the kernel (4.1.19-v7) but not the word "Jessie". :-)
Same with
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Kudos, congratulations and thanks to @joan, a regular contributor here, for the inclusion of the pigpio library.
Re: 13th May 2016 Changes to the Raspbian Jessie Desktop
Thanks Fruitoftheloom, now the download page does allow to download the new version indeed.
Anybody already did an "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ?

Tried it, but the repo has not been updated yet.Fidelius wrote:Anybody already did an "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ?
Just try again later today or so.

You have to run 'sudo apt-get update' first.Forris wrote:'unable to locate package piclone'

I just installed it, so it's available now.
Re: 13th May 2016 Changes to the Raspbian Jessie Desktop
Apart from the desktop stuff there are some useful changes 'under the hood'.
Kernel + modules are split off from raspberrypi-bootloader into a separate package (raspberrypi-kernel)
And there is a new package with the kernel headers: raspberrypi-kernel-headers.
raspberrypi-bootloader now only contains bootcode.bin, start*.elf and fixup*.dat

Yes, I did that. The other 2 items installed ok, but not piclone (even tried it on it's own).DirkS wrote:You have to run 'sudo apt-get update' first.Forris wrote:'unable to locate package piclone'

LIVE UPDATE: Done it now!

Well spotted. The kernel also works with dkms now, so out-of-tree modules are easy to keep up to date.DirkS wrote:Apart from the desktop stuff there are some useful changes 'under the hood'.

Another real gem, tucked away at the end of the write-up:
When flashing a new Raspbian image, the file system will automatically be expanded to use all the space on the card when it is first booted.
Re: 13th May 2016 Changes to the Raspbian Jessie Desktop
Is it possible to disable Wlan and Bluetooth on a Pi3 with this new Raspbian release?
Or do I still have to use the previous apporach which works well but is uneasy to handle:
/etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf

We have a raspberrypi-kernel-headers package now ?? 

• Don't like the board ? Missing features ? Change to the prosilver theme ! You can find it in your settings.
• Don't like to search the forum BEFORE posting 'cos it's useless ? Try googling : yoursearchtermshere site:raspberrypi.org

Unfortunately, it has a huge number of files and dpkg will calculate an md5 digest for each of them, so it takes forever to install.ghans wrote:We have a raspberrypi-kernel-headers package now ??

Note that raspberrypi-kernel-headers would need to be installed first. Otherwise, dkms will try to pull in the wrong headers package.gregeric wrote:I googled that, it's a most welcome addition.ShiftPlusOne wrote:The kernel also works with dkms now, so out-of-tree modules are easy to keep up to date.
Re: 13th May 2016 Changes to the Raspbian Jessie Desktop
I am already running 4.4.9, is there an "apt-get install" just for the bt (replace blueman), and sd copier? I do not want to do a dist-upgrade.

Re: 13th May 2016 Changes to the Raspbian Jessie Desktop
I think you can do that with just update / upgrade and then install picloneRive wrote:I am already running 4.4.9, is there an "apt-get install" just for the bt (replace blueman), and sd copier? I do not want to do a dist-upgrade.

Why not exactly? The theme bug you reported a while bag has been fixed.Rive wrote:I do not want to do a dist-upgrade.
Re: 13th May 2016 Changes to the Raspbian Jessie Desktop
When I "sudo poweroff" the Pi3, in contrast to former Raspbians the green (SD?) LED really turns off after some blinking, leaving only the red power LED on.
That's nice.
