new Raspi OS release

mumblebaj

@mumblebaj After the upgrade I got presented with a screen asking me to Keep Wayfire or Switch to Labwc. I elected to switch to labwc. I have opted to switch to labwc.

Warning to others: this has reset my screen orientation and resolution. Easy fix for me but others may have a problem.

What I have noticed, when upgrading, around 99% mark, it asked a bunch of questions around keeping labc configs or install the vendor ones, I elected Y to install the vendor ones for those and I have noticed that my MM splash screen at startup has been replaced by the Raspi one. Not an issue for me but for anybody else who may want to keep theirs say no to those questions.

Started the MM and it is running. Now, just to test my Screen On and Off scripta later this evening and tomorrow morning to see if they still work as is. Will update but it looks fine thus far.

@sdetweil

thanks for the hint, had to check mmos …

sdetweil

@mumblebaj yes, those prompts are problematic.

i pipe all the output to the log during scripted install
and set the option -y, reply yes

well it doesn’t affect THOSE prompts, so upgrade and install hang. i’ve had to stop being nice and let all the junk fly by.
and most of the users dont have a clue what to answer.

but i cant ask different questions and feed the answers.
sad.

@sdetweil As was expected, my screen on and screen off scripts no longer work. I will have a look at them today and see if I can get them to work with Labwc else I will switch back to Wayfire. Will advise after I have had a chance to look at them.

First have to give the boss his time today then I can play…😉

@mumblebaj , @sdetweil ,
any idea, advise what will happen if updating bookworm while NOT using wayfire but X11 (because wayfire doesn’t work even in the earlier bookworm I had reconfigure to X11 in raspi-config)?

Thanks for any hint.

Regards,
Ralf

@rkorell I just switched back to Wayfire now and it works fine for me. I am running Pi5. When I tested X11 the screen blanking did not work for me. I have been reading around Labwc and wlopm but have seen a lot of people having issues with Labwc. I will test it later today but for now I have switched back to Wayfire.

I still take my mirror displays and put them back into X11 mode. It’s what I understand, it’s what allows me to do what I want to do.

@BKeyport said in new Raspi OS release:

So from your perspective X11 still does work?

Thanks and regards,
Ralf

@BKeyport X11 does not work for me, hence I use Wayfire. As Labwc is supposed to be the newer lighter compositor, I would like to get that to work for me.

@mumblebaj @rkorell and rumor has it x11 is gone next release

edit: seems rumors are not true for trixie (next release code name)
thanks everyone
