Ubuntu for Raspberry
#11
I'm always interested in new developments. A new beta version of Ubuntu is appeared, called Hirsute Hippo. Also ARM 64 bits. The next version after the Groovy Gorilla.

Ubuntu has already available a version for the RPI. Tried this version on my Pi4 and can confirm it works. It is working here with SignalK and also with the Oesenc plugin. Although libusb file must be added to get Oesenc working.

Also tried to install the OpenPlotter add-ons. However, this does not work because the config-parser is no longer part of the latest Python version and cannot be installed.
Otherwise, it seems to work. A reaction of a Python specialist here was that the config-parser is no longer needed in the latest Python version. But is part of the OpenPlotter setup. He has made a comment on the Github page.

The Ubuntu Hirsute Hippo is working fast.

De RPIClone copy program is not available in Ubuntu. How to make a copy of your Ubuntu SD or Ubuntu SDD ?

It can be done with the help of the RaspiOs version PiClone. Start the RPI with RaspiOS. Take an usb card reader and an SSD or a second cardreader.

Choose both cardreader systems and copy the SD or SDD to another SD or SSD. So you can also make copies of the Ubuntu versions with the help of the RaspiOS.

Works very good.

The Ubuntu Hirtute Hippo Beta version for the 64 bits RPI is released the 1st of April. Installed the image and also tried the OpenPlotter add-ons on this new 64 bits Ubuntu release. It gave some errors.

But most of the OpenPlotter applications did work. The Serial, the Calibration for a DSR-RTL dongle. OpenCPN with a separated installed oesenc plugin for the Oesenc usb dongle. The SignalK server is running. However, as I allready mentioned the MXTommy application gives errors when installing.

The kernel is now the 5.11 version and works very well.

The Ubuntu Hirtute Hippoo 64 bits for Raspberry Pi4 is official released. Works very well with SignalK server working and MXTommy KIP. Added the Openplotter add-ons. These also works with the RTL-DSR software. The Oesenc dongle is working. However no Wifi Access poiint.

I realy do not understand why the RaspiOS is still 32 bits. 64 bits running much better.

Also tried the latest Debian Bullseye 64 bits also for the RPI 4. Works even better then the Hirtute. However no Oesenc plugin available yet. Also added the OpenPlotter add-ons.

Also new is the latest installation setup for Linux versions of OpenCPN, called Flatpak. No longer needed is a release version. Works on all Linux versions.

Running here on the RaspiOS, Ubuntu Hirtute, Debian Bullseye and Linux Mint ARM64.
