Testing For Amahi on Ubuntu

NOTE

• There are no apps for this release
• This is a CLOSED beta as of right now. You can refer people for testing, but you need permission from cale250 or cpg.
• You'll need the CD OR DVD for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Desktop
• DO NOT install on a production machine. It's not even close to being ready yet.
• This is a testing release. It may be broken from time to time. Only update if you receive an e-mail.
• Please report bugs on the forum first. I'll post them to the tracker.

Step by Step Instructions for Installation

1. Install Ubuntu normally.
2. Once installed, open up the terminal and run the following:

$> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:amahi-drivers/amahi

1. Open up Synaptic and refresh the package lists (Click Refresh)
2. Search for and install hdactl and hda-platform

• Alternatively run sudo apt-get install hdactl hda-platform at the terminal

1. Reboot once done.
2. Upon logging in, start Firefox and type http://localhost:2000/ in the address bar
3. Enter your Amahi install code in the appropriate box (should look very familiar!)
4. Let it do its work, and click the Reboot button at the end.
5. Log in and test it out!

Updating your Amahi (for bug fixes and stuff)

1. Please review the e-mail or other means carefully. Upgrading certain packages not mentioned could cause your install to break.
2. Open Synaptic (NOT Update Manager) and mark the appropriate packages to upgrade.
3. You know the drill.
