@alanb128 I think the deploy job on the pipeline hasn't been updated to the current location of the block

[alanb128]

Thanks @phil-d-wilson I will seek out some assistance for that...

As far as testing, I've done, GPU/no GPU, Kiosk, and HTTP API calls on Pi 3/4/5/x86. Anything else you suggest checking?

[phil-d-wilson]

Did you try videos (YouTube) and WebGL? And look at the gpu page to check hardware acceleration is enabled?

@phil-d-wilson I've confirmed YouTube and WebGL and it looks good, except on the Pi 3 - but no worse than the Pi 3 looks using the current browser version. For the "GPU page" are you referring to confirming GPU via curl http://localhost:5011/gpu ?

[phil-d-wilson]

Yep, that should show that hardware acceleration is enabled

[tim-littlefair]

The version of entry.sh created by this commit:
961645c
doesn't look right to me - it looks like a Dockerfile rather than a shell script.

I'm guessing that the right content should be more like the entry.sh in one or other of the older balenalib base images, e.g.
https://github.com/balena-io-library/base-images/blob/master/balena-base-images/aarch64/debian/bookworm/build/entry.sh.

Or am I missing something?

[alanb128]

Good catch @tim-littlefair that must have gotten overwritten at some point. It has been updated and tested.

@klutchell I wanted to add a comment for the future still, would you recommend commenting the section instead.
This is because it's a block and it would be given that it's publishing to balenahub until explicitly said otherwise

LGTM
Didn't know the policy got changed to folks changing commits can also do approvals.
