efaLive 2.3 running on RaspberryPI
Finally I found the time to try to run efaLive on a Raspberry Pi. It was less effort than expected. You just need a
Raspbian installation that you upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie. This can be done by exchanging “wheezy” by “jessie” in
/etc/apt/sources.list
. Then run apt-get update
and apt-get dist-upgrade
. This will take a lot of time, but at the
end you have a Debian Jessie based installation. Now add deb http://efalive.hannay.de/debian jessie main
to
/etc/apt/sources.list
and run apt-get update
and apt-get install efalive
(ignore the missing GPG key for now).
Many dependencies are installed now. At the end everything is ready to run efaLive. Just configure raspi-config to
boot into the GUI and put the following lines into a file /home/efa/.xsessionrc
:
1
2
#!/bin/bash
exec ~/.xinitrc
Now you have to change the autologin user from “pi” to “efa” in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
. From now on, the efaLive
Kiosk environment should start automatically.
Maybe I can provide a complete image for the Raspberry Pi in the future, we will see.
