Debian "wheezy" public beta

19th of June 2012 by eben

Alex has produced a new reference image based on the upcoming Debian “wheezy” release. This incorporates Dom’s latest firmware, and numerous kernel patches for performance and stability. Over the next couple of weeks, we will be running a public beta program to identify major bugs, and in particular regressions relative to the existing Debian “squeeze” image.

Although this is a beta release, you will almost definitely find it a worthwhile upgrade. Please give it a try, and report issues here.

Thanks to everyone on the forums who tested an earlier version of this release, and in particular to lb for investigating SD card performance issues and contributing patches. Notes:

It will fit on a 2GB SD card, but 4GB will leave you with a more comfortable amount of room; we now include a tool to make it easy to resize the filesystem to use the full SD card.
Future firmware updates will be delivered via apt-get upgrade.
The first boot is expected to be slower than subsequent boots.

      I’m afraid not. bootc’s I2C/SPI drivers are written for and tested against the 3.2 kernel, while we’re currently on 3.1. We could backport them, but the better solution is likely to move to the 3.2 kernel at some point in the not too distant future.

        There are backports of the I2C & SPI drivers to 3.1.9 available for anyone willing to compile their own kernel, but if you’re willing to try that then you could just compile bootc’s 3.2.20 kernel anyway.

  Or rather, you can apt-get dist-upgrade to get the wheezy packages, then update to the latest firmware and it will start to look a little similar (but without the various config tweaks and cleanups). It’s not an upgrade path I can offer support for.

  Yes, this is for the most part using the standard Debian ‘armel’ packages, which are software floating point. libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0 and libwebkitgtk-1.0 are actually compiled to use the floating point unit (but still the soft fp ABI of course), as I had to cross-compile new versions with the Javascript JIT disabled (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673469)

It also gives a great opportunity for a side by side comparison.

  It’s worth sticking it on a separate SD card and seeing how you go. I’m finding it a big improvement (SD card read speeds are up now, for one thing, and it’s happy with more cards than the old version) even though it’s still in beta.

I found it rather difficult to find a downloader for torrents. So I got to know about BitLet.org. If you do not want to put more stress on the download servers, just use their Java Applet to download via torrent.

  Not sure you’re fully understanding the way torrents work. It’s not really a client-server type of download. You’re downloading bits (lol) and pieces from everyone else who’s downloading and sharing it, as well as sharing it yourself.

First of all, I want to say thank you to Alex

I am an old Debian user and I just received my Raspberry, so I have two questions:

1) Is it available a “base” Debian image, cointaining only the packages installed by base debian installer and no gui? It would be nice to have a base enviroment where “advanced” user can build their own system.

2) The personalized kernel and/or diver are available in a custom Debian repository? (may be hosted at foundation?)

Thank you!

  I agree a minimal variant of the image would be useful. The scripts I use to build these images are actually publicly available at https://github.com/asb/spindle – the output at ‘stage3′ has the benefit of being nice and minimal while having a number of niceties already enabled (ifplugd, sudo, a few udev rules).
  
  The kernel and ‘firmware’ is the same as the most recent available at https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware. The packaged deb version (thanks to Will Thompson at Collabora) is available at the archive.raspberrypi.org apt repository.

But I fail to find the packaged deb version, probably because I’m not sure what I’m looking for. Which package should I install to get the source? Looking around in archive.raspberrypi.org using my browser didn’t help me. Thank you!

  Differences are a number of config tweaks, moved to an official raspberrypi.org apt repository (and fixed the versioning on some of the packages I modified), new firmware. There’s not a desperate need to switch, but you will want to at some point.

  It is raspi-config, which is really just a thin layer over various standard utilities (parted and resize2fs for enlarging the rootfs, dpkg-reconfigure for other options). It actually runs at first boot (and if you ssh in you are reminded you probably want to run it).

When I chose the disable overscan option in the config tool and pressed enter the screen starts to flicker and it doesnt stop until I pressed a button. The “disable_overscan=1″ is added to the config.txt and it works after a reboot I’m just wondering if the flickering until a key is pressed is a bug or normal.

Hello,

I’ve been playing with the “old” version of Debian Squeeze for a couple of weeks now, and make quite a lot of tweaks to various config files to get it working “just so”… is there an easy way of upgrading to the new version without losing all the changes? How about all my personal files? Will I need to just FTP them off, re-flash the SD card and copy them back? Could you please write a brief “how-to” for getting this new version onto existing installations?

Very many thanks,

  I’d say you’re best bet is to back up those config files you tweaked as well as your pwersonal files in /home/pi. The forums might be a better venue for getting help on backing up. I’d just copy them directly off the SD using an SD reader which is of course easy if you run Linux. Otherwise, assuming your pi is on your network you might use something like Filezilla/WinSCP to connect to your Pi and transfer the files.

Thanks to all the team for this update.

Would it be possible to say what the release strategy is or has this already been discussed in a forum thread? For example, is there a plan to switch to the hardfp (Raspbian) as the recommended distribution? Is anyone planning to produce country dependent builds or should the community contribute to the production of these images? It would be good to build an image with French language and French+Swiss keyboard layouts. If this is a matter of producing a patch file against ASB’s setup, then producing a build in the community should be maintainable.

Thanks and best regards, Will

  As Eben says elsewhere, we’re very interested in Raspbian. On my part, I am stunned at what mpthompson, plugwash and others have achieved. I next intend to use my image build scripts to produce an image using the Raspbian packages as soon as I am able.
  
  Keyboard layout and locale can be changed in raspi-config (though could be made more user friendly). We should investigate doing more to provide a better out of the box experience for alternative layouts. If the best solution is to produce a separate image with a few extra customisations pre-applied, that’s certainly something that can be done easily with my scripts.

Many thanks to ‘Alex & Dom’ et al for getting this out. Very much looking forward to possibly having an upgradable install to allow for some significant alteration/customization without the fear of having to throw all that work down the drain with a later release. As someone who could likely still qualify as a newb, I can certainly say that for some of us, throwing away the small collection of ‘little victories’ we’ve collected while ‘learning by doing’ can be a bit demoralizing… Anything that can be done to preserve current installs in the future would be MUCH appreciated…
On an unrelated note: I may well have been the only one to have this problem, but the Windows checksum instructions linked to from the direct download page seemed a little confusing with the excessive use of the word ‘image’ instead of ‘zip file’ – had me incorrectly trying to check the extracted image from about 5 different sources in about 5 different ways before I finally looked up at the Linux instructions and realized it was the zip we were supposed to be checking. When I see ‘checksum’ and ‘image’, I think ‘.iso’ and ‘.img’, not zip. Just a heads up, in case other people start mistakenly reporting corrupted downloads with output ending in ‘…ad28aaec’.

Why are you abandoning Raspbian? Raspbian was supposed to be the official Debian distro for the Pi. They put a ton of time and effort into recompiling the entire Wheezy repositories to support the hardware floating point unit in the Pi’s CPU. The performance difference is pretty profound in anything that needs floating point. I just don’t understand why you would ignore their hard work.
Simply take their hardfloat binaries, combine with your set of preferred applications and make an “official Raspbian” distro.

  Whoa. Easy tiger.
  
  While we’d like to move to Raspbian, we (and it) are not quite ready yet. There are a number of issues around moving to a hard-float ABI which we need to resolve, so it makes sense to do at least one more soft-float release to bring people up to a newer firmware, kernel and rootfs.
  
  This is also the first release to use Alex’s “spindle” build scripts rather than Gray’s Broadcom in-house system. These would be used to build any future Raspbian system.

  UnaClocker, I appreciate your enthusiasm. However, Raspbian is a community supported effort and at this time it isn’t “supposed” to be anything other than what it is. This Debian Wheezy armel image is an important step as it will allow Alex to create a base-line image using official Debian packages that can be compared feature-by-feature with any future work-alike image he might create from the Raspbian repository. We’ll do our best to support Alex as he moves forward as it will just make any Raspbian based image that much better if and when it is released.

Thanks for the Raspi-config! This took care of most of my reconfiguration tasks right out of the box. As noted, the ssh task locks up the system, but since it defaults to enabled, all’s well.

There’s much missing from the application menus that existed in Squeeze. There was a whole list of “Applications” that are no longer there, and much of the configuration options are missing. Nowhere to set the screensaver, for example. Nowhere to add or remove software. Gleany(sp?) is missing, which was used in one of the tutorial sets in YouTube. I’m not sure about some of the dependencies that were included in the Squeeze distribution, such as pygame… Are all these to be added before the final product is released? If not, it’d be sad to break much of the effort that others have made to product some quality tutorials for beginners.

Squeeze recognized my monitor’s resolution, but wouldn’t let me change it; This version doesn’t even own up to having a monitor in the setup program. It now says “Unrecognized”, and gives no options at all. While Squeeze’s options weren’t useful, this seems still a step backwards….

Thank you for the work you’ve done on this, and I’d like to do what I can to help move it forward. Please don’t think that I see it as negative. Overall, it seems to be quite a leap forward.

Great effort – well done!

Installs and runs without any problem, and my LXDE raspberry is raspberry-shaped at last, instead of cigar-shaped.

SSH is fine.

But:
Couldn’t install Chrome (uninstallable).
Installed Samba, following the R-Pi NAS tutorial on eLinux.org, but smbpasswd doesn’t work (command not found).
(Both of these work okay in debian6-19-04-2012.)

Keep up the good work!

I think that Raspberry Pi should be recommending the use of aptitude, since that is what the Debian project recommends users use to manage packages. aptitude from the command line is much easier to use than apt-get, but that’s just my opinion.

Still stumbling around with RPi and Debian. I haven’t been able to check off any locales for building besides the default en_GB. None of the keys I’ve tried on my keyboard effect the space between the brackets in front of the locale I want. What am I missing. ? Thanks.

First impressions, much more user friendly. Having icons on the desktop will make MS Windows users feel at home also makes a easier for the young uns. Having the Debian reference manual on there is also good move. I liked that it correctly identified my wifi dongle and loaded the driver. Response to mouse inputs also seems to be much improved, I’m using a wireless combo and on the previous img the keyboard response was good but clicking the mouse was a real hit and miss affair working just fine now and overall it feels a bit zippyer.

  3. press arrow keys 8x down, that should select enable ssh
  4. press enter 2x
  5. press control x
  that should enable ssh

Sounds intriguing- I tried to use it as I fired my new Pi up for the first time. Unfortunately, it utterly ignored my IPazzPort wired USB keyboard which, as it turned out, was the only USB keyboard I owned- so much for “Plug and Play”! Another, off the Good list, has been ordered and should be here in a week… if nothing else, Pi teaches us the value of patience! In any case, there was no way to type “startx” in the fraction of a second before the config took over- and nothing in the config looked particularly like “use this to boot directly into desktop from now on”, anyway. Oh, if it helps, I tried the IPazzPort with and without a powered hub (which was recognized!).

  raspi-config only runs at the end of the first bootup. After that, the board will boot to the pi user login. If you want to run it again, just type raspi-config at the user prompt. When the board has booted to the user prompt, then you can get to the desktop using startx.

Looks really good and my SanDisk 45MB/s card finally works! I love that the installer can resize the partition, because that was the only thing before that you needed a PC for (besides copying the image to the SD of course). It just seems that it takes a little longer to boot up. (42s vs 23s with the same SD card)

Also it seems that the OpenGL samples (like hello_triangle) don’t run anymore. And since I wanted to play a little around with OpenGL and OpenVG, I will likely stay with the old image for now, until that it fixed.

This release seemed to run smoother than the previous Squeeze version. Certainly problems with “scratch” hanging seemed not to reoccur, and the menus within LXDE seemed to display rather more speedily.

Like a few others, I had grief with raspi-config hanging when enabling ssh. And the Overscan option seemed counter-intuitive when using a HDMI-connected HD-ready TV – it needed to be Enabled for correct viewing, disabled leaded to clipping on the console.

But overall, fantastic!

I have to say that I’m pretty happy with the beta overall. I LOVE the bootup timestamps preceding each event status message. The compatibility with larger, faster SD cards is absolutely the single most critical improvement, while maintaining fairly solid stability. Speed increases on the desktop are quite apparent and the inclusion of a smaller, simpler, faster web browser is very much appreciated.

Although the drivers for the chipsets in my WiFi adapters appear to be included, I have not been able to get either adapter to be recognized beyond showing up in dmesg and lsusb. The drivers have been installed in the correct locations, and depmod -a and modprobe produce no errors, but, wlan0 is inaccessible when the network is stopped and started, both at bootup and any other time. It’s very very frustrating

I’m very much looking forward to the eventual integration of ARM hard float and X with the GPU – these should be the highest priorities for the Foundation going forward, as there’s nothing else that can help boost performance substantially, now that SD card access speed has been addressed. Students should be encouraged to learn how to program the GPU via OpenGL and take advantage of the hardware floating-point capabilities in software they develop – it’s a core competency in virtually every field of science, technology, engineering and math today.

The raspi-config utility is an excellent first step at streamlining the configuration of the system, particularly the SD card rootfs expansion utility, and the keyboard, locale, time zone, and ssh options. The next step should be to allow a simple text configuration file to be created that can be copied between OS versions, requiring no additional action even through the simplified user interface (perhaps raspi-config can generate this file based on the actions selected by a user).

Keep up the outstanding work, everyone!

AH! HELP! Everything worked perfectly the first time I booted … but now it asks for a log in, I’m sure it’s U: pi P: raspberry, however it won’t even let me type a password, the only key that works is return and then the login fails. anyone else have this problem/know how to fix?

Heads up to whomever keeps the Known Hardware list up to date. I’m running wheezy on a PNY 64G Class 10 SD and its fast and flawless. 64 gig cards do not appear to have been tested so… now you know.

Is there any news on resolving WiFi drop-out when launching the internet client in the xWindow?

Cheers

Is it possible to get a Wheezy .is file so I can load it into Virtual box to play with on my PC prior to loading it onto my Pi? VirtualBox does not want to loadn the .img file. Thanks.

    Yes, search around on the forums for virtual box and you should find some instructions for exporting the main partition and then loading virtual box with that partition.
