My final task was to go through the process of updating the repository lists to be able to install the “pt-*” packages from polarisOS, but I ran into a dependency error on one of the packages, which prevented that from working properly. The other two commands updated the APT cache, and then updated the system to latest. It thought it was December 14 rather than current date. The reason for the ntpdate first is that the machine doesn’t come with a configured NTP service, and the clock on the Pi puts the machine several months behind the real world. In order to do this, I put the machine on the network, then ran the following: My next steps included updating the system, since Kali-Rolling updates very frequently. I only needed the dpkg-reconfigure and service restart. When I ran the rm command, it failed with file not found, and a file listing of /etc/ssh confirmed there were none to remove. I was surprised to find that the newest version of kali actually didn’t ship with pre-installed ssh host keys. To regenerate the host keys, I rm dpkg-reconfigure service ssh restart Most pre-built images should go through these two basic steps, since they ship with pre-generated widely known shared keys and passwords. My first housekeeping task was to create a new password for the root user. I had a few housekeeping tasks to take care of. Booting the machine worked fine on first try, so the image appears to be installed okay. I swapped microSD cards to put Kali into the pi-top and remove polarisOS. I then applied the change, and closed the program. I selected the EXT4 mount, chose “move/resize,” and resized it to take up all of the unallocated space. Once GParted was working correctly, I used it to resize the linux partiton. I had to install the following two packages manually, before growing the EXT4 mount point: GParted has an issue with the e2fsck not being up to date enough. Because the image is much smaller than the size of the card, I needed to resize the linux partition to take advantage of the extra space. Both partitions were picked up, and I unmounted these for the next step. I ejected and re-inserted the card to verify it is seen correctly. In order to install, I unmounted the auto-mounted card and used dd to tranfer a copy of the image to the card. mmc0: new ultra high speed SDR50 SDHC card at address 0001 I checked dmesg output to verify that the card was recognized successfully. Next, I put a new 32G microSD card in to receive the image. This created the image file for installation. After verification, I unpacked the xz archive with unxz. This document will cover the latest image.įirst, I downloaded the image from the site onto my Linux Mint laptop. I started with the latest 2017 image, but recently the first 2018 image became available, so I did the procedure again. So, at the end of the day, this battery does work well, and it is a good size, but you will need to deal with wiring a power switch between it and the Pi.Over the last few weeks, I’ve gone through the process of installing Kali onto its own microSD card for use on the pi-top. So, I used an old PC Power supply switch, which is a 2 pole switch, and wired up both of my USB reds to that. It does not work as an 'Off' switch, and the USB's are automatically engaged when something is drawing from them. The Pass-through also works, but you must shut down the pi before plugging it in, or it will reboot you Pi.ĮDIT: I Ran into issues with the power button on this supply. I disconnected the LCD and Pi power link, and I am powering them now separately with 2 cords from my new battery. There are 2 outputs, with a maximum of 2.4A out of each (up to 3.4A). The 3rd battery I got is a 3.4A Total output. The second battery I got was a 2.4A single output (was not enough and I got the lightning bolt and downlclocking) (This confused me, because my 2.4A wall plug works just fine). My first battery was a 2.1A single output (was not enough and I got the lightning bolt and downlclocking). I just went through 3 batteries (chargers), and finally found one that works (with some issue, read edit below).
