Raspberry Pi

Under Construction
This is a new page, currently under construction!

This page contains information on problems I had and have with setting up Plasma Mobile on my Raspberry Pi3b+, solutions to them and steps to get it running yourself.

Install instructions

Install Raspbian on the Raspberry Pi
Update your firmware with
```
sudo rpi-update
```
Activate your GL driver in
```
sudo raspi-config
```
or by adding
```
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
```
to /boot/config.txt

Open /etc/apt/sources.list and change

deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ stetch main contrib non-free rpi

to

deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ buster main contrib non-free rpi

;

Add the official Debian repository by adding

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ buster main contrib non-free

and getting its key

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 8B48AD6246925553

And the Plasma Mobile repository by adding

deb https://debian-pm-tools.github.io/apt-repo buster main

.

Now upgrade your system by running
```
sudo apt-get update
```
and
```
sudo apt-get upgrade
```
.
To an important step: You can now either change your user to "phablet" or set up ssh by adding an empty ssh.txt to /boot/.
Install plasma-phone-components, plasma-phone-settings, plasma-settings, kwin-wayland, simplelogin and dbus-x11 by running
```
sudo apt-get install plasma-phone-components plasma-phone-settings plasma-settings kwin-wayland simplelogin dbus-x11
```

Also install qtvirtualkeyboard if you want an on-screen keyboard.

If you didn't change your user to "phablet" your screen will be frozen now. You can fix that by changing /lib/systemd/system/simplelogin.service; just change "phablet" to the user you want to run Plasma Mobile as; After a reboot your system should boot into Plasma Mobile.

Problems with solutions

Plasma Mobile does not launch without adding
```
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
```
to /boot/config.txt to activate the accelerated graphics driver.
The Raspbian repo was unreachable over Wifi so I needed to use Ethernet.
Simplelogin is installed with user "phablet" as running argument, is immediately run after installation and freezes the screen when run without a proper user; To counter this you can either create user "phablet" before installing or change the /lib/systemd/system/simplelogin.service to account for your current user.

Problems

Sometimes the screen freezes. Crop from syslog:

This happens regardless of how much memory your give the GPU and if you enable CMA.

Angelfish never finishes loading webpages.
Firefox ESR cannot play youtube videos as it is unable to install openh264.

Tips

As Plasma Mobile is running on an SD-Card; The speed of the SD-Card is pretty important for its performance. I used a Class 10 card which to me seems to be pretty much the minimum of what you would want to use.

You can add more verbosity to your Plasma Mobile logging by creating /home/USER/. config/QtProject/qtlogging.ini and adding
