+== Armbian Buster: End Of Life ==
+Sovol's KlipperScreen still uses the outdated Armbian "buster" version, they've not released a newer firmware version to the current day (Oct. 2024).
+The repositories for this version have been taken offline in spring 2024.
+  * Updating the system packages using apt (e.g. ''apt-get update'' or ''apt-get upgrade'') does not work any longer, because these updates do not exist any more.
+  * The missing system updates make it more and more difficult updating the Klipper components. E.g. recent "KlipperScreen" service versions depend on Python-3.8, but the device is stuck at Python-3.7.
+  * At least one can not accidentally brick the device by updating the kernel or .dtb files any longer, as these files simply do not exist any longer.
+  * It is possible to flash a recent Armbian version, but it takes more than just a few mouseclicks.\\ See these guides:
+    * Rebuilding from scratch using Maxim's Armbian bookworm:
+      * My guide: [[rebuilding|Rebuilding]]
+      * Vasyl's guide: https://github.com/vasyl83/SV07update
+    * You can also find a readily prepared image (built as on my guide) here: [[image|Image]]
+== KlipperScreen / Python 3.8 ==
+The last version of KlipperScreen that works with python 3.7 is v0.4.1.
+I guess the easiest fix is resetting KlipperScreen to that revision and never updating it afterwards. That means:
+  * Log into the KlipperScreen using SSH or Putty and enter the following commands:
+  * ''cd ~/KlipperScreen''
+  * ''git reset --hard v0.4.1''
+(I haven't tested this, but it is taken from the KlipperScreen FAQ at https://klipperscreen.readthedocs.io/en/latest/FAQ/ )
+Other options are:
+  * Revert the whole system to its original state by flashing the emmc card with Sovol's image (and not updating afterwards): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A1-Rw1vDPUT4pnvMOBWTd098l2aShehC/view
+  * Flash a recent armbian image to the emmc card (then you can update afterwards).
+  * Maybe its possible to manually download, compile and install python 3.8, but I'd expect many issues with that (possibly missing dependencies, too little free space on the emmc). https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/setup-building/
+== Moonraker Timelapse ==
+The moonraker timelapse script has a dependency check at the starts, which prevents the installation on the outdated Armbian buster version.
+By removing that check, it should be possible to install the timelapse script.
