Download, compile, install QT 6.4.2, remove source

Takes about 2 hours

wget https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/6.4/6.4.2/single/qt-everywhere-src-6.4.2.tar.xz
tar xvf qt-everywhere-src-6.4.2.tar.xz
cd qt-everywhere-src-6.4.2

Prebuild PyQt6 6.4.2

This takes about 1 hour

Required because PyQt6 is asking questions that can't be answered during pip3

sudo PATH=/usr/local/Qt6/bin:$PATH pip3 install PyQt6 PyQt6==6.4.2 --config-settings --confirm-license= --verbose

Install MPF Monitor

sudo pip3 install "mpf-monitor==0.57.0"

Make Image Of SD Card using shrink-backup

Mount a USB drive large enough to hold an image. The drive will be a directory in the /media folder

cd /media/mpf/8e1b6305-8346-49ca-8f51-7fe5a705fe37
sudo shrink-backup -a -l mpf_0-57-0_001.img

ssh -l mpf <ipaddress>
sudo armbian-config 

System -> Desktop -> Stop and Disable this service

Desktop -> Do you want to enable autologin? (YES)

Autostart MPF

Make a new mpf.desktop and place it in /home/mpf/.config/autostart.

Replace <machine> with the folder containing your machine.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=MPF

Hide Top Bar

Install Chrome GNome Shell

sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell

Install GNome Shell Integration extension in Chromium

Search for and enable Hide Top Bar

I went through old links and got reminded of this. :)

You can now use curl to install shrink-backup in "correct" directory and changes execution bit automatically, so if you still use this:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UnconnectedBedna/shrink-backup/install/installer.sh | sudo bash
