Deskpi drivers do not work - Ubuntu 23.10

[Waggleworx]

I am on a stock installation of Ubuntu 23.10 (64-bit)

Installed by using the instructions in the wiki as follows.

For Ubuntu 64bit OS: cd ~ git clone https://github.com/DeskPi-Team/deskpi.git cd ~/deskpi/ chmod +x install-ubuntu-64.sh sudo ./install-ubuntu-64.sh

This didn't work, which was already a bad sign. I decided to dig into related issues. I followed the suggestions here without success, unfortunately.

Currently, deskpi.service is in a state where it will start, but is killed whenever deskpi-config is used.

If I'm honest, the typos spread throughout documentation, and deskpi-config do not inspire confidence.

Even after removing all services and doing a plain reinstallation with the ubuntu-64 script, my services are unusable:

Hi @Waggleworx , Thanks for your tips and I am work on it and find that once you execute deskpi-config command, it will take over the control permision from systemd service, and it will stop the service and occupy the current serial port, I am work on how to resume the service after you execute the deskpi-config command, there is a way to resume the service is to execute sudo systemctl restart deskpi.service.
If you have any problem with it ,please discuss the issue in this threads.

Hi waggleworx, it seems like the ubuntu 24.04 LTS will not support deskpi pro due to the function module : dwc2 does not work properly, and it will not take effect even though it has been added dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host and reboot the pi, it will not recognized the MCU's serial port : /dev/ttyUSB0 and it will not enable front usb ports as well. we have to remove this OS from our supported list due to this OS's BUG.
