ANOTHER project in VERY EARLY Stages, this page will be a mess as I stumble thru this ...
Goal here is a build an educational, 'First Computer' for our grandchild. Age range will be 4-10ish, with a vision of a complete system - keyboard, monitor/sound, mouse/trackpad and an operating environment that will introduce personal computing while working through educational software/apps. Basically a step up from good old CutiePi. More to come as this idea develops.
Feb 2021: New Project: Will start with a Raspberry Pi (3+) with GCompris loaded up. See what we have
- Raspberry Pi OS
- gcompris-qt
- RPi 3+ - 32g SD
(Flaky $hit Highlighted - Fixed Stuff)
February 2021: Initial attempts
- Minor update ... currently exploring adding lightweight desktop and gcompris to CutiePi. IF everything gets along together - dietpi, shairport-sync, my CutiePi script and desktop with gcompris. May work well, simply add monitor and bluetooth keyboard/trackpad to CutiePi !!!! Some notes ...
- Installed lxqt desktop on cuitepi - getting a little crowded in there!
- libpulse-mainloop-glib0 was not in dietpi software library ...
Find name via "apt-cache search libpulse-mainloop" Package installed OK via "apt-get install libpulse-mainloop-glib0" - Sound issues!! Pulse seems to work, but gcompris doesn't play any sounds
- <more to come>
- Attempt#2: Installed RaspOS to be safe - 1st time using Raspberry Pi Imager from AUR (Nice!)
- Attempt#1: GCompris install on top of my goto operating environment - Dietpi w/ MATE
Bad Idea! GCCompris is a QT-Based world that is not in package form - installed via scripts
