Hi. Thank's a lot . I have pasted your system on my card and it works. more needs to be implemented but it seems like a very good option. I will continue testing and look forward to more updates. thank you so much.

Hi Manel,

glad you tried and it works. Can you elaborate a bit more on the additional needed things? If you have any ideas or requirements feel free to share them, this may help me focusing on the right things for the new upcoming release (or put them into a queue if they are more complicated :)

Thanks,
Mattia

hi. Mattia. it would be helpful if the screen resolution is in the "computer setting" Astroberry style. so you can change at your convenience.
and the icons in EKOS they don't have graphics iside. they are just empty.

Thanks Manel,

for the resolution you should be able to use arandr, I believe it is installed, if not a simple sudo pacman -S arandr will do the trick.
For the icons, can you send a screenshot? I believe this may be an issue with the KDE dark breeze them

Hello,
Yesterday I tried to install AstroArch distro on an RPi4 4GB but I faced an issue.
Boot sequence started as expected but stopped at 'Graphical Interface target reached' step (see figure). I waited several minutes but nothing happened.
I re-flashed the sd-card, tried with another USB cable without succes.
Would you have any ideas on this problem?

Clear skies.

Hi deepskyphoto, looks like you connected the pi to a monitor via hdmi? Is that correct?

Hello Mattia,
Thank you for your quick reply. Yes the raspberry is connected via the HDMI port, may it be the source of the issue?

Hi! No this is not a real "issue", I simply never went to fix the hdmi thing. Astroarch for the time being works only through VNC. What you see through the monitor is the system booting but not entering the graphical state on HD I, it should be functional though. You can try VNC (browse or some VNC client) to confirm it is working

Mattia: when I plug my USB u-blox7 GPS unit into a USB port on my Pi running Astroarch, Ekos no longer can find my AVX mount:.

If I unplug the u-blox and restart the Pi, then I don't have this issue. What could be going on here?
