= Beta 1 Release =
 
 
 
Welcome to the Beta 1, 32-bit release of '''Amahi Ubuntu Edition'''!
 
 
 
This is our first beta release ... still expect turbulence! Let's start with the caveats and then on to how to install!
 
 
 
= Caveats =
 
* This is a fist beta release. Expect things to mostly work, but your machine could still explode in a million pieces, losing all the data.
 
* '''Only 32bit''' is supported. The 64bit and ARM editions are not supported yet
 
* No graphical installer yet. Installation involves two CLI (command-line) commands
 
* Note that this is intended to be installed under Ubuntu '''12.04 i486 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/....  Feel free to report results.
 
* Not many 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 12.04 32-bits
 
* [[Greyhole]] is not yet supported
 
 
 
= How to install Amahi on Ubuntu i386 =
 
 
 
* 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 addres you've given when creating your install code.
 
 
 
After rebooting, '''<nowiki>http://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 =
 
 
 
* 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
 
* Debian is not well supported in this release (there are a couple of known issues). We are focusing on Ubuntu only for now.
 
 
 
= 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.
 
 
 
The old Ubuntu information (mostly out of date now) is in the [[Ubuntu old]] page.
 
 
 
= Problems, questions, etc. =
