Alpha Release for Testers
Welcome to the Alpha 3 release of Amahi Ubuntu Edition!
This is our third alpha release ... still expect turbulence! Let's start with the caveats and then on to how to install!
Caveats
- This is a third 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
- Note that this is intended to be installed under 11.10. It also seems to work under 10.04 and 11.04; but no warranty. It has been tested with ubuntu desktop, but server probably also should not cause problems. I suspect things like Kubuntu/Lubuntu/Gobuntu/Edubuntu/.... will also work but this is not tested. No warranty. Feel free to report results.
- 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 Ubuntu 11.10 desktop and server edition
- 'only 32bit is 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 or from the awxibs alpha.
- Greyhole is not yet supported
- Debian is not well supported in this release (there are a couple of known issues). We are focusing on Ubuntu only for now.
How to install Amahi on Ubuntu
- Download Ubuntu 11.10 CD/DVD
- Install Ubuntu. Only 11.10 has been tested. If you want to test other releases, let us know if or how they work. Aim is to move a soon as possible to 12.04LTS and stick with that one for a while.
- Open a terminal and become root by typing:
| bash code |
|---|
sudo su -
|
- Double check your network settings with
ifconfigandroute -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/install.11.10
|
- Then start the install with
| bash code |
|---|
sh install.11.10
|
This should take a little while and many messages will flash by the screen.
If you are on a system with a display and have firefox installed, firefox will start and prompt you for the install code. (you can get your install code from www.amahi.org).
If you are on a system with GUI but without firefox (but e.g. Konqueror or Chrome) start your browser and browse to http://localhost:2000.
If you are installing on a headless system where you have no window system running browse to the web gui from a different system. This is done by browsing to http://<ip address of your amahi system>:2000
In either case your browser will ask you for your install code and start installing some additional packages. There is a progress indicator, but don't trust it too much as it has not been tuned very well.
Once the installation is completed the system will tell you to reboot. Do so. Note that rebooting will change the IP address of your system to the addres you've given when creating your install code.
After rebooting, http://hda should be working if entered on the local system. From a remote system this will only work if you have your DNS pointing to the amahi system as otherwise your system cannot resolve the name "hda".
Other
Refer to the Debian page for the latest info, how to install via other methods and development updates.
The old Ubuntu information (mostly out of date now) is in the Ubuntu old page.
Plans
Plan is to move to 12.04LTS server as soon as possible and stick with that one for a while.
