Please see [http://docs.amahi.org/ubuntu-12.html Ubuntu 12.04 LTS] for Install Instructions}}<!--= Ubuntu Release = Welcome to the first release of '''Amahi Ubuntu Edition'''! This is our first Ubuntu-based release ... still expect turbulence! Let's start with the caveats and then on to how to install! = Caveats =* This is a first wide release. Expect things to mostly work, but there could still be some turbulence.* 32-bits, 64-bits and (some) ARM editions are supported* No graphical installer yet. Installation involves two CLI (command-line) commands.* Note that this is intended to be installed under Ubuntu '''12.04 desktop or server'''. Ubuntu server takes 2.1GB of disk vs 3.7GB for desktop.* We do not recommend or support the likes of Kubuntu/Lubuntu/Gobuntu/Edubuntu or any other Ubuntu derivative. Feel free to report results if you do attempt any of these flavors.** Xubuntu has been tested and appears to work fine.* There are 70+ apps live at the moment with more to follow* [[Greyhole]] should be working* To enable Secure Shell (ssh), please use one of these apps: [http://www.amahi.org/apps/openssh OpenSSH] or [http://www.amahi.org/apps/dropbear Dropbear]* [http://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn VPN] is now an app that you install if needed* Do not mount [[Greyhole]] drives during the initial Ubuntu install. Mount them just before you install Amahi to prevent data loss.* We '''DO NOT''' recommend you install Amahi on an existing Ubuntu install. It works best if you have a fresh install with no updates or modifications to the OS. Amahi will modify certain parts of the Ubuntu environment, i.e. Apache, Samba, etc. = How to install Amahi on Ubuntu = * Download the Ubuntu 12.04 CD/DVD from the [http://www.ubuntu.com/download Ubuntu downloads] page* Install Ubuntu* Start a terminal. On the Dash home, search for ''terminal''. Click on the icon with caption terminal* Make sure you have the proper network settings set up in your [http://www.amahi.org/user control panel], with one profile and one install code* Get the installer by executing the following command in the terminal window (hint: use copy and paste): {{Code| wget http://u12.amahi.org/install-amahi }}* Then start the install with {{Code| sh install-amahi }}* The install script partially runs as root so it will ask for your install code and password* This should take a while (about 5~10 minutes). The time depends on the speed of your PC and your internet connection.* Once the installation is completed the system will tell you to reboot. Note that rebooting will change the IP address of your system to the address you've given when creating your install code. After rebooting, '''x<nowiki>http:br //hda</nowiki>''' 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".-->= Known Issues =* Platform updates cause share permissions to be reset to www-data:users ([http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/927 927]).* Greyhole does not automatically restart when adding new shares ([http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/940 940]).* Greyhole mount_shares_locally has warns about problems mounting printer shares ([http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/924 924]).* Amahi netboot package needs converted to Debian ([http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/929 929]).* DHCP and DNS server cannot be stopped permanently ([http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/932 932]).* Most themes do not display correctly ([http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/936 936]).* Use of app dependencies in install script cause some apps to not install (i.e. SABnzbdPlus, DLNA, etc)* The name of the first user has three extra commas after the name, e.g. "Amahi User,,,"* The network restarts during installation in some systems and you may loose connection to the port-2000 installer = Corrected Issues =*<s> DNS server reports as "Stopped" with a red light (settings tab, servers Sub-Menu). Is it really off? Well, typing HDA, drupal, or names of other web-apps into the URL bar gets you to the correct app...</s>*<s> SSH is not installed. Need to make an SSH app so users can decide.</s> <Maintenance ONLY!--= Troubleshooting = Double check your network settings with '''<code>ifconfig</code>''' and '''<code>route -n</code>'''. These should be the settings that you use in the installation. If these are not correct you can change the ip address by issuing the command {{Code|sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.14 netmask 255.255.255.0 up}}assuming 192.168.1.14 is your IP address. The route can be changed with {{Code|sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1}}assuming 192.168.1.1 is the address of your router.<br> This is especially important if you are doing a headless install = Other = Refer to the [[Debian]] page for the latest info, how to install via other methods and development updates.
