Hacking RELEASE Painless Linux - it's Linux, but painless (Windows, Mac OS, Linux & Android)

Not sure if this is a side effect of linux, or just some random error. But the News on the lock screen is now "Welcome to News" and "Where to get new games" (e.g. the first 2)
They also appear at the start of the News page, along with every other normal story.

Because Linux also messes the system clock

Ah ok thanks for that.

I see. I bought a jig to avoid exactly this



Even with the low power profile ?

Never tested with it, i execute the low profile command on the Terminal inside the linux ? or on my pc ?

It does it on first boot.

are you sure ? it stays at 3 gb...

It should. The image is 6gb anyway...

It's a couple/three commands. Virtually every rPi has a script that does this. If you don't find one, I will pull one off a pi image but the process is:

1. fdisk to list partitions
2. find root fs partition, copy/write down start position/block
3. Delete that partition in fdisk
4. re-add partition at start block
5. fdisk will suggest as default end block the rest of the drive/space...do that
6. write new partition info and reboot
7. run resizefs (resize2fs?) on the root fs partition; when done the filesystem will be expanded.

That's how it's done, roughly, from memory/manually doing this a couple of times

Ubuntu ARM is 2gb actually

That explains it. You'll have to do it by hand, or use the script yourself : https://github.com/ctyler/rootfs-resize/blob/master/rootfs-resize

The GNOME image I provide with Painless Linux already has this rootfs expansion script, triggered on first boot.

May I ask how you wrote the bionic.tgz file to the sd card in the first place? I am having trouble figuring it out. Thanks.
