bookworm issues

Post by Alberto »

hello,
I Download the latest image of bookworm (Customized version of Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm 64-bit Default suitable for Revolution Pi. MD5 Hash (zip archive): 67aae5afe9344cd825be773267c2c419)
And install it on our connect+ and face several problems.
1. The file manager do not show Mounts despite the settings in Preferences Layout menu.
2. No auto mount is done despite the settings in the Volume Management in Preferences menu.
3. The Edimax N150 Wi-Fi dongle detected by lsusb but no recognized by the Network Manager, the same dongle on the same hardware
work perfectly with Bullseye.
4. No preinstall desktop editor Geany or Thonny

Does anybody beside me face the same problems?

Hallo Alberto okay these are some questions first of all thanks for your detailed description of the problems. Regarding the USB dongle that used to work and now doesn't - this may be because the manufacturer of your USB stick is incompatible with 64 bit operating systems. Take a look at this article:

Revolution Pi Connectivity - Which Wi-Fi adapters are compatible with the 64-bit versions of the OS?


You may have to install additional software, i.e. Thonny editor.

Thanks for the prompt response,
The WiFi dongle I'm using is Edimax EW-7811Un one of the two you recommended and yet it don't work
The hardware we use is RevPi connect+

Hi Alberto,

this is probably due to recent changes in newer kernel versions which are done upstream (= not by us). I will check if I can find such an USB wifi stick and have a look how we maybe can fix this.

Hi Alberto,

which version of the Edimax EW-7811Un did you try? There are at least two different ones (v1 v2).

I tried some adapters I had here:
  • tp-link WN823N V3 which worked with the rtl8xxxu driver after I installed the package firmware-realtek
  • tp-link archer T3U which worked with the rtw_8822bu driver after I installed the package firmware-realtek
  • asus usb-n10 b1 which worked with the rtw_8822bu driver after I installed the package firmware-realtek
  • asus usb-n13 c1 which worked with the rtw_8822bu driver after I installed the package firmware-realtek

Thanks this package saves the day.

Can you address the file manager issues as well?

Hi Alberto,

in order to make the automount work, you need to install the following packages:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install gvfs gvfs-fuse udisks2
