Updating Drivers for Ubuntu on Raspberry Pi 5 to support the VideoCore VII GPU

✅ GPU Support Overview

1. Mesa / V3D (OpenGL ES & Vulkan) drivers included, thanks to upstream support merged since Mesa 23.3 .
2. Initial desktop installs (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04/24.10) sometimes exhibit slow graphics, GNOME animation lag, even green-screen artifacts—likely due to incomplete or mismatched Mesa stacks .
3. Community feedback highlights that while OpenGL ES/Vulkan are available, you may need to install or update Mesa packages manually (mesa-vulkan-drivers, etc.) .

To Update Drivers:

docker run --rm -i -v "$PWD":/w linuxserver/blender:4.4.3 \
  blender --factory-startup -b --python - <<'PY'
import bpy, math, os
vid = "/w/phone_screen.mp4"                 # <<< your vertical video
assert os.path.exists(vid), "Video missing"

•  Imports hero + witness plates
•  Automatically aligns them via audio-waveform cross-correlation
•  Auto-detects FPS, resolution & 360⇆rectilinear
•  Injects missing XMP → always pano-aware
•  Tracks witness plate on a seeded grid, iteratively cleans & re-solves
•  Builds   RigRoot ▶ WitnessCam ▶ HeroCam hierarchy

Simple Cinematic Example for Text

fadeInDuration = 1.5
delay = (index - 1) * 0.2
t = time - (thisLayer.startTime + delay)

progress = clamp(t / fadeInDuration, 0, 1)
easeT = ease(progress, 0, 1)

TL;DR • It’s fine that both XQD cards individually mount as D:. • Differentiate them by VolumeLabel, not by drive letter. • Modify your script so the SMB share name = VolumeLabel (e.g. XQD_Card1, XQD_Card2). • Register your task once via PowerShell—after that, “hot-plug” automatically shares whichever card you inserted under the correct name.

Feel free to reach out if you want help auto-removing the share on eject, adding logging to see exactly when each card fires, or any other fine-tuning!
