Fresh install of the new Raspberry Pi 64bit OS

Updated Bullseye

Then ran Build-a-Pi fresh

Installed Everything

After the install restart, I checked the Update tool

Here is a list of everything that did not show either Installed or is_latest_version

HAMLIB – Needs Update
FLRIG – Not Installed
FLDIGI – Not installed
FLAMP – Not Installed
FLNET – Not Installed
FLMSG – Not Installed
FLWRAP – Not installed
GARMIN - Not Installed
XYGRIB – Not Installed

The install took less than 3 hours (RPi4 - 8gig)

If someone could point me to the install log, I will include it to this post.

I found a peculiar menu item, which was install updates. After I ran that, I went back to attempt to install from the list of the previous initial install

I was able to install/update everything except for FLDIGI. That will not install.

Now I am going to reimage a fresh Bullseye 64bit and go through all this again. I hope to find the install updates before I attempt to install BAP to see if the previous results stay the same or are different.

Thanks for the update. Due to other commitments, it's going to be a couple of weeks before I can test the 64bit OS.

I have also installed and found that flrig and FLDigi did not install. I built from source and installed fine. guessing the BAP script is not installing the correct dependencies. I failed to write down the ones I installed, Sorry. I might try again soon. Also Pat does not install. And since you can't install from source guessing its because there is no arm64 version deb file.
everything else seem to work from what I have seen. will continue to play

Second run from scratch.

Basically same results as the first scratch install. The update widget that popped up did not show up until after the 1st run of BAP. I did a screenshot of the notification called 'updateNotificationIcon'. Attached is a screenshot of the list of updates as shown by the widget called 'List-of-updates-needed'.

I ran the BAP update tool without updating, choosing the items that did not install or needed an update, and everything installed except for

HAMLIB – Needs Update
FLDIGI – Not installed
GARMIN - Not Installed
XYGRIB – Not Installed

I then ran the update through the widget, which did not require a restart. I then ran BAP Update tool again, just choosing the 4 things above that did not install, and everything installed except for
FLDIGI - Not Installed.

These results compare with the first couple of tests where I installed BAP on a fresh 64bit Raspberry Pi Bullseye image, ran the update widget, then ran BAP Update tool and everything installed except for?
FLDIGI - Not Installed.

So bottom line is that most things will install (according to the BAP updater screen), then updates needed to be installed to get almost everything else, and FLDIGI is the only one that has not installed through BAP.

Note: The 2 .txt files are log files I created after setting the preferences on the Pi Terminal Window to show 50,000 lines, then copied the text into a document.

@KM4ACK - Jason, I know that you have commitments until next month, but I still looked at the installer so the information is here when you get bandwidth to take a look at it. If you need more information, just tell me what you need, and I will run it for you.

Sidenote: The initial full install takes about 2-2.5 hours to complete, and the install after running the updates take around an hour or so. The new Raspberry OS Imaging tool takes about 10 minutes to fully image the 64bit image on a 64gig MicroSD Card. The Pi Foundation did some nice work on it for the macOS because it runs faster than the earlier version.

Hi Curt

I don't remember is you said in the first of these emails, but what Rpi are you using this on? If it is one

with less then 4GB you will have to extent the size of the swap space. I have seen FlDIGI fail to install

at times even with a pi with 4GB, so have increased the swap to one or two Gigs to allow it to install.

You may want to try that.

I have never had a problem? with a Pi with 8GB.

More install testing notes

When I did the initial install, I got an error message (screenshot below) that the Pat config did not have a grid square in it. I did enter my proper grid square when the install script asked for it just like I normally do. So it looks like the install script is not seeing the entry during the install.

Another thing I noticed, when I set my timezone to central, I saw errors that the local was not in the database. When I chose Chicago on a subsequent install, I did not see the local error.

Hi Marty,

My test Pi is a model 4B with 8gigs.?

It just rips through the install pretty quick. The 64bit Bullseye installs BAP quicker than the 32bit Bullseye.

Ok, I have a Pi 8GB, but some how I over powered it and saw smoke come out, so I

will putting in an order for another. I was going to set it up to use as the home PC

with two monitors to replace the old laptop I am currently using. I have the adapter to

use the 500GB internal drive of the laptop here now, and a monitor to mount the pi onto

and another monitor to plug in. Looks like I may have to just put in an order and wait until

they ship to me.

The Rpi 4B 4GB that is the Ham PC is doing good. I have it loaded with the bullseye 32 and trying

it out. However with the shack in the garage and no heater and temperatures running in low 30s

I haven't gotten to try it much. It did install the three Fl-suite apps I use just fine and the few others

too.

Have a good day.

For Comparison, I put 32bit Bullseye on the card, updated, then did a full install of BAP

Everything installed on the first attempt, including FLDIGI

So there is something a little different with the way things are done with 32bit and 64bit Bullseye

One thing that I know is different is the update that shows up in 64bit after the first BAP install attempt. No matter what I did with 64 bit, I could not get it to show the update icon before the first BAP install attempt.

Thinking out loud, I am wondering if BAP gets installation of 32bit items, and then the update wants to update to 64bit for those things. I might be wrong (as I am often wrong :D ).
