Well just this. The symbol should be fn+d in Pyra's keyboard but it just doesn't work.

All other characters using fn seem to work. Can someone with bullseye confirm?
 
Yes it

Yes, this is well known.

In Bookworm there are even two more characters not working like the colon : and I think it was also this one |. Quite important characters unfortunately.

Maybe the solution to this is very simple, but no one provided a solution yet.

Can you enter it as unicode (U+005F) ?
 
Yep this is known...

Sadly there is no official Bullseye release yet, It would be cool if aTc had some extra hands and there would be a focussed effort on getting pyra to bullseye. I think one of the issues is (correct me if Im wrong) that there is the nicely working letux kernel (by hns) around but not everything easily translates to the kernel that is currently in use by the pyra. These two efforts are not that correlated and seem to develop two seperate paths. And everything is still very much a voluntary effort.
 
Seeing the folders Bullseye and Bookworm in this link, how should anyone know these images are not official?
Also, these images still use the quite old Letux Kernel 5.6 from Buster, since the newer Kernels still have unsolved issues with the Pyra.
The lack of progress is just pitiful...
 
Yup. I myself wait for some kernel issues (mainly sound) to be resolved before resuming Slackware work.

I haven't seen any wip on this in months...i'm starting to think that for the worse.
I have also asked here on forum and on discord an help on compiling kernel modules...but no response.:(
 
I will start to have some time to dedicate to the Pyra beginning of next month and I already have a prime on the kernel sound subsystem (updated a kernel driver for a specific DAC for a commercial audio product) - I can understand Risca's struggling on that! Not doing this regularly but I can try to have a look at it. What are the issues to look at and where is the code?
