Running KDiskMark on a Raspberry Pi #156

Open raspberrypieman opened 2 weeks ago

raspberrypieman commented 2 weeks ago

I have been using CrystalDiskMark on Windows for many years and love it. KDiskMark seems to be an ideal equivalent on Linux. However, I want to run it on a Raspberry Pi4b running Raspbian Bookworm. I have no idea about compiling it from source, I just want a installable binary. I found something in this repository about using PPA but it would not work on my system. I think my fellow Raspberry Pi users would love to use this application but are put off because they cannot simply use apt install ... Can anyone help, please?

Hi! You can download the arm64 deb package from the PPA repository and install it using apt install: https://launchpad.net/~jonmagon/+archive/ubuntu/kdiskmark/+build/26322421/+files/kdiskmark_3.1.4-bionic-2_arm64.deb

Technically, the arm64 build through GitHub CI has already been done in this commit: https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark/commit/782bdc25fd75aead35cbe6fa5edb8f3c2126ec1f

I'm planning to publish a release soon. However, I've already tested the method described above on a Raspberry Pi 5, and everything works perfectly there.

Thank-you for your speedy response.

Sorry, for my lack of Linux knowledge. I have downloaded the file: kdiskmark_3.1.4-bionic-2_arm64.deb to my Raspberry Pi4b, but do not know what to do next?

You can use apt install ./kdiskmark_3.1.4-bionic-2_arm64.deb It'll take care of all the dependencies

Excellent, It installed OK, but I was not able to run on my Pi4 as it is currently running OMV and only has a command line interface - will try later with another os. However I did install it on a Raspberry Pi5 and it worked like a dream! Although it ran ok, it did report the following line 5 times: libpng warning iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile.

Thanks very much for your help and patience, Martyn
