Don't know if this is useful, but it took me a while to figure it out. Thanks to user k1l from IRC channel. In order to force your machine (ubuntu, powerpc, yaboot) to boot to shell mode and not gui:
1. Enter in terminal:
sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
2. Reboot
Voila !
If you need to reverse this:
1. Enter in terminal:
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
2. Reboot.
Thanks k1l !!

Re: ubuntu MATE 16.04.1 Live DVD
It seems it is necessary to do an apt-get dist-upgrade for an update from 16.04.1 (version from the Live DVD) to 16.04.5.

There is a small bug in the installer script. The configuration of the permissions for the 'tmp' folder is missing after creating it. You have to configure the 'tmp' folder permissions manually with the following command:
Code: Select all
sudo chmod 1777 /mnt/tmp/
Code: Select all
drwxrwxrwt 9 root root 4096 Feb 14 14:07 tmp

Re: ubuntu MATE 16.04.1 Live DVD
Christian.
I've installed the ubuntu 16.04 iso 3 onto X1000. I needed to get something up and running quickly as my kids need a computer to do their school work on whilst were in covid-19 lock down and odyssey in OS4.1, as much as it a good browser, isn't up to the task.
At least with linux I have libreoffice and can print.
So the live install automatically drops into ubuntu-mate's
I created another user as admin and I can switch to that user. However, every time I boot I automatically get logged into ubuntu-mates desktop.
I've tried using sudo usermod to change the name of ubuntu-mate, however, I don’t know the default ubuntu-mate password.

Re: ubuntu MATE 16.04.1 Live DVD
Hi JurassicC,
You can deactivate autologin if you like.
Code: Select all
sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Code: Select all
[SeatDefaults]
allow-guest=false
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=ubuntu-mate
autologin-user-timeout=0
2) Delete the line autologin-user-timeout=0
3) Reboot your X1000
With sudo you execute the command as root and it doesn’t have a password.
You can setup a root password with “sudo passwd root”.
Cheers,
Christian

Re: ubuntu MATE 16.04.1 Live DVD
I haven't seen the whole thread. But I'm wondering if it can be booted off USB rather than a real CD/R/W? Has this been done yet?
I've been experimenting myself. I had trouble loading the ramdisk. It's rather large and I had trouble loading it. I need to go back and check as large files usually load fine from FAT. It's strange, as a 30MB file will load from FAT, but will always fail from FFS. The FFS loader seems to have the same limitations as the old XE UBoot file loader. Which is about 16 MB.
What I tried first is simply writing the ISO image direct to USB. I then set boot args to point to that device which in my case is /dev/sdc. I loaded the kernel from CFE. It booted up fine but got stuck at the root FS. It can actually mount the ISO image fine but it was missing an init.
I see it needs the initrd to boot the installer. Of course I'm aware of this having modified Linux installers before to boot off my XE.
Given it needs modding in any case it could be an idea to make up a disk image. That contains a FAT volume with initrd to boot. And the iso as another volume. A batch file in the root could be used to boot it easily. Without stuffing about with CFE commands.

Please do it. I am very often alone here and need really more help with the X1000 Linux support.
