Apt configuration setup

Greetings,

I have been unable to apt-get update

What is the proper setup for apt repos and keys?

Thanks much!

This is a known problem. Have a look at the discussion here: VisionFive 2 Debian Image Released - #83 by omac777

Kind regards!

Great! Got apt working.

However, after upgrade the lightdm fails, so no HDMI output. How to restore??

KenDickey · February 7, 2023, 3:32pm

Here is the formula I used:

There is a much simpler solution:

1- download the debian-ports-archive-keyring_2023.02.01_all.deb package from https://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/pool/main/d/debian-ports-archive-keyring/debian-ports-archive-keyring_2023.02.01_all.deb with wget or curl,
install with dpkg -i debian-ports-archive-keyring_2023.02.01_all.deb

2-Use the regular unstable ports directory in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb Index of /debian-ports unstable main
instead of (or comment out)
#deb https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-ports/20220616T194833Z unstable main

Does this help to fix the lightdm issue?

No joy yet. 8^{
Looking at lightdm setup docs.

Hi.
I am trying to bring up Ubuntu image on VisionFive2 board using SD card.
I flashed the ubuntu-23.04-preinstalled-server-riscv64+visionfive2.img into micro-SD card using BalenaEtcher software.
I follow the steps to install ubuntu image on VisionFive2 board as:

The boot mode set to SPI flash (DIP switches RGPIO_0 = 0, RGPIO_1 = 0) as the Ubuntu image comes without U-Boot.
Connect to the UART using a UART-TTL USB adapter. For accessing the serial console you can use minicom:
sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
Insert the SD card, Connect Ethernet cable and power on the board.
Booted successfully and able to login with user ubuntu and the password ubuntu.
After login, I found the IP address of VisionFive2 board by using command as ip a.
I have confirmed that ssh, scp and ping are working correctly.
Then, I run the command for basic package installation as, sudo apt-get update. After running that command, I am getting an error as shown in below figure.

Any suggestions!!!

Thanks.

Your date/time are wrong. Set them correctly with the “date” command or use the GUI.

Now it’s working, Thanks.
