@Rock
The Ubuntu 24.04 image has really been released and can be obtained from Baidu Cloud or Onedrive. Thank you for your support.

[Rock]

@george Wow, it's so great !

Can we upgrade 22.04 by editing the sources?

[george]

@Momo-0
The cloud storage provides a 22.04 image, which you can download and upgrade.

@george is there any chance of armhf builds being provided on the mali-g610 and multimedia repos as well?
Some things don't have ARM64 builds and have dependencies related.

[george]

@Ranomez
You can try compiling the source code on a 32-bit system. You may encounter some package compatibility issues.

Does cool pi laptop support suspend S2idle/ S3 by close lid?

[george]

@plumlis
At present, laptops support lid sleep mode. When the screen system of the laptop is closed, it will automatically enter deep sleep mode. To open the screen, you need to manually press the power button to wake up the machine again. Please be informed. This is different from the S2 S3 on the X86 platform.

@george nice to hear that.
It seems cool pi laptop is much better than CM4 laptop or pinebook.
Suspend is quite important for an Arm laptop

How is the battery life?
How is battery drain while Cool pi laptop in sleep mode overnight?

[george]

@plumlis
The machine can support sleep mode by default. If the laptop screen is closed, the machine will automatically enter sleep mode.
The battery is of 38WH specification, with a nominal 5000mAh/7.6V. The power consumption of the entire machine in sleep mode is 8G+64G 7.4V/6MA, 32G+64G 7.4V/8MA, so the theoretical longest sleep time is 833 hours, exceeding one month.

I have laptop. Why is opengl is so old? 3.0. I have orange pi 5 plus with 4.5 mesa. Opengl (mesa) is to old and i can not run xonotic or 0.a.d or other games with gpu aceleratiion because they need opengl 4.5

Second question. Out of the box i have cpu power profile in settings, then i format emmc and reinstall ubuntu from ondrive and now i don't see power menu

@mainbord
1.RK3588 MALIG610 can only support OPENGLES-3.2, I am not sure if this 4.5 is compatible. The GPU driver of Coolpi will be switched to Panthor in the future.

2.Confirm the hardware version of the laptop. If the hardware is V10 and then update the V20 image, there will be a power option issue.

@george
Look above what I wrote. Orange pi support and hardware is the same mali610 and rockchip. I Have both. Here is the source code
https://github.com/Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-rockchip

Mesa in orange by say this is 4.5 and games works. Apps do not know about panfork, that's why it's useless.
