Moksha from source on raspberry pi 400

Moksha from source on a raspberrypi 400

This procedure is based on enigma9o7's excellent tutorial, Moksha from source on Debian bullseye i386.

It uses Debian bullseye, with some files from bodhi and ubuntu. It produces a working desktop, but not all the rapspberry pi functionality.

Download the latest tested image for pi400, 20220121_raspi_4_bullseye.img.xz
Uncompress, and burn to a usb memory stick.
Using ethernet cable for network connection, boot the pi400 from the usb memory.
At the prompt, login as root, no password required.
Set a root password using the command passwd
Run apt update and apt upgrade to bring the system up to date
If necessary, run dpkg-reconfigure tzdata to set your time zone
Install sudo using the command apt install sudo

Create a normal user with the command adduser yourusername
This command will create a group, add the user to the group, create a home directory, and prompt for a password
Add an entry for the user to the sudo file with the command EDITOR=nano visudo

Exit from root, and login as youruser
Using sudo apt install, install the following packages
lightdm meson wget git python3-pip libeet-bin debhelper dbus-x11
pavucontrol network-manager-gnome xclip libasound2-dev libxext-dev
libpam0g-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev liblvm2-dev

In the [seat:*] section, uncomment the line autologin-user= and append your username
uncomment the line autologin-session= and append enlightenment

cd ..
git clone github.com/JeffHoogland/moksha
cd moksha
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

Enable power management for hibernate, reboot, power off etc.
Using sudo, edit /usr/etc/enlightenment/sysactions.conf
uncomment the line user: myuser allow: *, and change myuser to your username

Install your favourite utilities

reboot

You now have a working desktop
The easiest way to add themes is to copy an .edj file from another bodhi system, then at the theme dialog window import and apply the theme
You can find .edj files in /usr/share/enlohtenment/data/themes or
/home/youruser/.e/e/themes
