Hello together.

Did anyone tried to install (compile) LNM on a RasPi 4?

Since a odd project from me failed i think about using my RasPi for LNM.
But before spend hours of wasted time i like to ask if someone else tried it already?

The power the 4 GB Version should be good enough i assume, at the other hand the missing simconnect interface is a potential showstopper  🤨.

So, any experience here?

Nope. Did not try it but Linux support is excellent.🙂 I develop LNM on Linux. If you use a 64 bit OS you can also use the published releases.

4 GB are more than sufficient. I tried this on 2 GB Linux VMs and no problems.

Hi Alex.

Thanks for response.

Basically i would like to stay with Raspbian 32 bit first. Raspbian OS 64 bit is currently beta, so without good experience (i´m not really experienced with Linux)  it´s an even bigger risk.

Ubuntu is also long time ago that i used it.

But i will give that experiment a try, buy a few Micro SD Card, so i can switch fast between different usercases..

32 bit is theoretically no problem if you want to compile it yourself.

LNM does not care about much about the bits. Linux and macOS are 64 bit and Windows is still 32 bit (might change).

*sigh*

As expected, there´s never an easy way for me.

Sometimes it ends ridiculous: To get a 64 bit enviroment i  flashed to Ubuntu Mate 20.01
But Ubuntu will not Boot at my 20" Samsung Monitor, other than Raspberry OS.

For a tenth of a second a message appear that the resolution is not suitable, recommend 1680x1050.
word not allowed, THIS IS THE NATIVE RES OF THIS MONITOR!

I assume, this is caused by the HDMI to DVI Adapter, because the System boots at any of my Desktop Monitors with the same Resolution, but directly equipped with HDMI.
So, i think, i need to wait for Raspberry OS 64bit and try it again.

 

Whole stack of issues. Sounds very familiar. 😦

I tried to compile a 32 bit LNM version for Linux but ran into all kind of problems with missing and too old libraries.
