I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with PiSound card. When I first boot up Patchbox OS, it gets to the login as expected. However: -none of my usb keyboards work so I can’t login. -if I restart the board (via a hard reset, because I have no other choice), it will no longer boot. The green light blinks once…

I think it’d be safer to do it on an earlier system then Pi4 8GB, but it might work doing it on 8GB itself. If anyone is in a pinch and only has a Pi 4 8GB handy, I can confirm that it works and can even work for a headless install Again If you have an earlier Pi available I recommend androidhea…

Which variation of Pi 4 do you have?

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8Gb memory.

It was released after Patchbox OS image was released, probably the real time kernel is too old for 8GB RPi. You can try installing the regular latest kernel on an earlier Raspberry Pi model, by running this command: sudo apt install raspberrypi-kernel

Oh I see thanks! Do you have any idea if another release of Patchbox for the 8GB pi is coming soon? And if I am going to install the non-realtime kernel, would it be just as good to install Raspian for now?

Thanks for the suggestion Giedrius! I just got the pisound for my 8GB pi and am encountering the exact same behavior as androidhead described above (have cycled through reflashing a couple times). I tried installing the regular latest kernel as suggested, but then encountered the same problem when…

Try to install all the latest updates from Raspbian’s apt as well, sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade, in addition to switching to regular kernel. [image] androidhead: And if I am going to install the non-realtime kernel, would it be just as good to install Raspian for now? Patchbox OS is j…

Any chance you guys tried updating all system packages before switching to Pi4 8GB?

I am a Linux noob so I haven’t tried that yet. But do you mean that we should try to update the packages BEFORE putting the sd card in the pi 4 8GB?

To confirm, sudo apt install raspberrypi-kernel sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade solved the problem for me. Thanks!

Btw, this image build should be good to go on 8GB Raspberry Pi’s:
