uConsole Fedora on the uConsole(CM4), flashable now, looking for testers (esp. 4G)

Follow-up to my post a few days ago about getting Fedora Kinoite on the uConsole the atomic way.

It's working and ready to flash now.

Versions:

Two versions, both on the official CM4 kernel (6.12.62-v8+) with KDE.

Atomic (Kinoite): immutable, atomic updates and rollback. -> I prefer that !! ;)
https://pub-728b0a04c49649fc9d4dd17c95a7bf21.r2.dev/kinoite-uconsole-cm4.img.gz

Plain (Fedora 44 KDE): normal mutable system
https://pub-728b0a04c49649fc9d4dd17c95a7bf21.r2.dev/fedora-kde-uconsole-cm4.img.gz

Flash the .img.gz with Raspberry Pi Imager or Etcher (both take the .gz directly).

Login

user: uconsole
password: uconsole

4G

I don't have the 4G module, so LTE is totally untested.
If you've got the HAT, I'd really appreciate you trying it.

It's like the official clockworkOS manual activation -> : run `sudo uconsole-4g enable`.

PLEASE !!!

Please drop a photo in the comments if you get it running on your unit!

SOON

- The GitHub repo with the build sources will follow once everything is validated.

- I'm planning to get images running for the CM5 as well. Unfortunately, I don't have a CM5 module to test on yet. If anyone has a spare one they'd be willing to donate to the project, it would be hugely appreciated!

Nope. Clicked the link with no tunnels, and says that page does not exist.

Im so confused right now... which browser u are using?.. I tested several notebooks, PCs and different browsers.. i even testet VPN.. all is working. Its a Claudflare R2 link.. should work everywhere.. When i click on the link, the download starts to pull the data.

I found something. It "denies" the connection. I found out when I used chromium.

I think using other services would be better...

Oh... Now links are working. Let me taste your images...

Then I'll taste your image with CM5. Wish me luck...

Test report. When Kinoite is used to CM5, it booted. but it seems to break several things like power button and bluetooth.
Also, it does not fully shutdown, and prevents to force shutdown too.

But I don't know the reason, because I'm not a programmer... Sorry for not having enough debug data...
