Just add power. \section{RPI3 Install} Fundamentally flawed. First, when I plugged in the RPI, I forgot to plug in the HDMI to the monitor for the first minute. This means I was late, and the HDMI never showed up. This required a hard reboot of the RPI. Flaw 1. Flaw 2: The default password for most Ubuntu distributions is ubuntu with a blank password. In RPI3 image, it is ubuntu:ubuntu. However, this information is only on the RPI Ubuntu official guide. A readme file in the releases directory would've been better. With these two flaws 5-10 minutes of my life to stupid shit. \subsection{Steps} Remove restricted repos. Update the pi. To remove restricted, use a sed. sed 's/restricted//g' input > output. If you are lucky unattended upgrades won't start on you, otherwise you have to wait until it finishes. \begin{verbatim} Stop the automatic updater. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades \end{verbatim} I also required another reboot. Finally, I can update the system. After all this, I realized that Debian 9 has in ZMRepo (but not in the official Debian repos) support for MP4 encoding. I'm moving to Debian. EDIT: However, getting an image for Debian 9 is not trivial. It's a bit crazy what they want you to do... Generate image using a script, etc.. Where's just an image? In fact, there's only an image for buster right now. Nope, just nope. Back to Ubuntu. This device can be obsolete in a year, I don't care. By then, I will have a new image with Debian 9 or 10. I could try the Devuan image which is pre-made, but I am not that bold (or foolish). \subsubsection{End of Life for 19.04} EOL is 9 months from release. Not bad. It came out two months ago. Then you can update to 19.10, and then to 20.04. I can live with this. \end{document}
