Ubuntu Alpha Release for Testers

Welcome to the Ubuntu Edition of Amahi!

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

Warning.png WARNING
This is only for developers, advanced users and testers. Do NOT use with data you would not mind losing!

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.

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The old Ubuntu information (mostly out of date now) is in the Ubuntu old page.
