How to get raspberry pi to locate package raspberry pi config
February 13, 2025, 07:42
so my board didnt come with raspi-config installed for some reason and ive been trying to download it useing "sudo apt-get update" and
"sudo apt-get install raspi-config" but it just returns "Unable to locate package raspi-config"
how do i get it to locate the file so it can download it? im very new to raspberry pi ive got no idea what im doing
It's not your board that comes installed with it it's your operating system, which one are you using?
No matter what it is
wget -p -O ./raspi-config_20250210_all.deb https://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/r/raspi-config/raspi-config_20250210_all.deb sudo apt -y install libnewt0.52 whiptail parted triggerhappy lua5.1 alsa-utilsand
sudo dpkg -i ./raspi-config_20250210_all.deb sudo rebootshould do it, make sure that the first command does not return any errors before running the second
If that doesn't work you could add the Debian repositories but just from my experience I don't want to add repositories, I always manage to mess it up
that worked! Thank you so much ive been trying to figure this out for like 3 hours now
No problem
I'm guessing your using Ubuntu or something?
Just making sure you know, some things won't work the same as in raspberry pi os.
its running Klipper. its acting as a control board for a 3d printer
Yeah that explains it
<@1071178789939331253> you think you could help me again? took a break after that got fixed but i relized that after i try to enable SPI in the config tool it gives this error and doesnt enable SPI. do you know how to fix this?
ls /boot
Or
ls boot
if i run "sudo raspi-config" command in the /boot location it still gives the same error after exiting the gui
As you can see here, the directory
/boot/firmware/does not exist. What kind of operating system is this?
Klipper
Seems to just be based on Debian lite I think
I'm pretty sure this is just a thing that happens when your not using raspberry pi os
Like I said some features are simply just missing
I'll give you a better solution one sec
https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html?h=spi#common-spi-settings this is what I could find in the docs
That should be the easiest way
