• Finally trying Ubuntu on my Pi 400

    From GrailKing@3:770/3 to All on Sat Apr 30 07:29:46 2022
    So far so good, a couple of questions though

    1. If I want to OC this where is the config file to do so, it's not like the Pi Os.

    2. How do I remove software....I'm not going to use rythmbox or Firefox, but when I try to uninstall I
    get no package is installed notice; they are definitely installed.

    One more : I tried open as admin, but it doesn't seem to work, got some sort of error quitting the
    terminal is there a good howto to follow or with the Pi I need to use terminal only?


    Thanks GK

    Are they not in /boot like PiOS? ie /boot/config.txt and similar?

    Firefox is probably installed as a snap, not sure abotu Rythmbox. Both apt
    and snap sources should be available in Software Center or, to remove a snap:

    sudo snap remove firefox

    I'm not sure what you mean. For command like apps you can prefix them with 'sudo' to run as admin. That works for starting GUI apps on the command
    line too. I'm not sure there's a way to do that from the GUI launcher, but there's rarely a good reason to run a GUI app as root anyway - and many apps that need root privs (eg gparted) will ask for your password when needed.

    Thanks for reply, turns out they're Gnome, added synaptic and removed Rhythmnbox and dillo (never
    luanched ) FF still in until I find a second browser as I use Vivaldi as my main.

    As far as admin in the Gui I can do it in POP Os and when I had Ubuntu on my other computer, but on
    the Pi it doesn't seem to work, maybe I missed something.

    On the OverClocking... would you know the file I have to edit in Ubuntu Pi?

    Is it not too slow? My RP400 does not work good with Ubuntu. Even if
    I do a swapoff -A on it.

    Actually it's pretty good, there are minor issues with video on YT, but not bad. I got Librewolf
    installed and video's play better there so if you don't use Vivaldi as I do than LW may be a solution.

    I did learn Over Clocking isn't supported yet in Ubuntu Pi, and Kodi freezes if I use it in Ubuntu, but
    works fine in Pi OS ( my media box is 4 feet away ) so not a big issue for me. Ubuntu also has the
    newer updated versions of some Software I use everyday, which doesn't work on other debian /
    ubuntu/ Pi OS.

    YT on Pi os with OC is good and Kodi runs well also, but I like this Ubuntu so far haven't needed to
    go back to the Pi OS since Ubuntu installed.

    I assume it's /boot/config.txt like on PiOS? I think that is read by the bootloader rather than the OS, so it doesn't matter what OS you're running.
    The main difference is there's no raspi-config tool on Ubuntu to set it up
    for you.

    I haven't tried it though, so could be wrong.
