Ubuntu Alpha Release for Testers

Welcome to the Ubuntu Edition of Amahi!

This is our first alpha release ... so expect turbulence!

Caveats

• This is a first alpha release. Expect your machine to explode in a million pieces losing all the data.
• No graphical installer yet. Installation involves two CLI (command-line) commands
• No applications are available for Ubuntu yet. This is on purpose, so that we keep the focus tightly on platform stability before chasing ghosts in apps
• Only supported on 10.04 desktop
• 32bit is the only platform supported. x86 64bit and arm are not supported yet
• This has been also tested on Debian, but not as well as in Ubuntu
• There are no automatic updates or ways to update from your install to an eventual release
• greyhole is not yet supported

How to install Amahi on Ubuntu

• Download Ubuntu 10.04 CD/DVD
• Install Ubuntu. Only 10.04 has been tested. If you want to test other releases, let us know if or how they work.
• Open a terminal and become root by typing:

bash code
​sudo su -​

• Double check your network settings with ifconfig and route -n
• Make sure you have the proper network settings set up in your control panel, with one profile and one install code
• Get the installer:

bash code
​wget http://ubuntu.amahi.org/ubuntu.install​

• Then start the install with your install code

bash code
​sh ubuntu.install YOUR_INSTALL_CODE​

This should take a little while and many messages will flash by the screen.

At the end, reboot. After that, http://hda should be working.
