raspberrypi-sys-mods VS noobs

There is a systemd service in Raspberry Pi OS that only runs if that file exists. It enables the SSH service and then removes the file.

Second, adding a third party repo to a "stable" distribution after the fact is a Big Deal. The way they originally did it gave Microsoft the ability to install arbitrary things on your machine. Even though that's been "fixed", now that the foundation has proven itself to be staffed by untrustworthy scumbags, you should be concerned about the Raspberry Pi foundation having the ability to install arbitrary things on your machine.

Doing an "apt show raspberrypi-sys-mods" lists a GitHub repo as the package's homepage, but the changes weren't published until a few hours ago, almost two weeks after the package was built and hours after people were talking about this issue. Here a comment by a dev admitting the changes weren't pushed to GitHub until today: https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspberrypi-sys-mods/issues/41#issuecomment-773220437.

I think this is what you're talking about. As long as you've updated within the past three years, that's already happened.

There is no changelog about it and not even a commit on the package source repository: https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspberrypi-sys-mods I was seriously worried until finding the responsible package and related topics on the Raspberry Pi Forum...

You can create ssh.txt instead. ssh and ssh.txt are both accepted.

Is there any way you can access the terminal? Like does it take you to the login screen at all? If so, you can mount a different SD card partition (try to mount /dev/mmcblk0p5/ or /dev/sda1/), reboot, and it should work (only if you somehow mounted the recovery partition by accident). This page may be helpful for you in understanding the partition issue and finding which partition to mount if it’s not one of those two above.

The secondary reason I advise against NOOBS is that it has been removed from the downloads page (see here for the GITHUB repository) - the primary is that it does give issues with updates / upgrades and gets in the way. It's much simpler to use a 16Gb or 32Gb card given the way the costs have dropped.

First off, what do we need? - A Raspberry Pi (a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V1.2 in my case) - A SD-Card reader/writer - Raspberry Pi Imager software - CODESYS - CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi MC (SL) or No SL - Factory IO (Ultimate or Modbus OPC edition)

start4.elf is not compatible USB-MSD boot requires newer software Get the latest software from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads.

Noobs from RaspberryPi can easily be modified like changing the logo Here is a link to the github repository: noobs

a. Download Raspian and upload it to your SD card using Balena Etcher.
