Thanks to your hint I used mount -w /dev and was finally able to completely upgrade to feisty. Next I plan to upgrade to gutsy which I believe is the latest version available for PPC.

No because the Ubuntu file is not a CD so you can't boot it directly. I suggest you wait for the LiveCD ACube is working on. It will be much easier to install. |
Any further word on that LiveCD from ACube?

In the part of the Crux installation where you are downloading the kernel image, couldn't 'wget' be used for that?
Just curious. I don't even own a SAM board. _________________ 'unfixed' A1XE, 512mb RAM, plug-in USB card, Sil 0680 IDE card, Radeon 9250, built-in sound, OS4.1 update 5. |

Sorry for the delay. I would like to have notifications when someone post a message....
ACube focused now on Debian. We would need someone to work on a Ubuntu CD :-/
@RacerX
Just use any software you want to download the kernel. Last edited by elwood on 02-Nov-2008 at 07:38 PM.

Same question like you. waiting to have debian on SAM to receive my SAM
on same HD, impossible. Need to wait after a new uboot, available in a couple of weeks, as previously posted by m3x on a post, on this forum, somewhere.
see this post on amigans: Debian / Dual boot on Sam 440EP
@elwood
I'm verry happy that Acube is focused on Debian on SAM with AOS4.1 on same HD (IMHO, not have the real information).
@elwood
Personnal informations about his point are welcomed

| Thanx for infos...
thats bad news, because we thought about buying 3 SAMs in a PSILE case for our company (sitting in the entrance area and showing AVI or Hollywood presentations, as well as Internet for our customers. Mainly OWB is not in the state where Internetbrowsing suits our needs, we wanted to back up with a linux browser as well and replace by OWB later

| @elwood: Any news on the LiveCD for ubuntu ? How do I get into the ACube FTP server (anonymous is not allowed) ? Can you update your article to directly install ubuntu 8.10 ?
Unfortunately I cant boot of the ubuntu LiveCD (Desktop 8.04 ppc) because the CD-ROM seems to not recognize the CD (I tried a CD-RW).
Is is possible to copy ubuntu files to an USB stick and to boot it directly for installation ? How do I do it ? _________________

I did put Debian on a seperate HD. Just to see if it worked. It does.
I did not put Parthnope on my first (amiga) HD so to boot Deb I have to switch cables. I was not to happy that the kernel did not have modules. I hope Acube at least releases a config file for (whatever) kernel. |

Does your Debian recognize the CD if you are logged in as "user" ? See other thread, as well... mine doesn`t.

No, it does not.
I have to mount it as root. Then look at it with the file browser by selecting >File System >cdrom. That is if I mount it as - - mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom

So, stay tuned on this one
AW.net - Thread
Normally it should mount fully automatically, as root mount command works, as user not... BUT: If you use the panel mount plugin from the Xfce4 DesktopEnvironment you can mount CD Rom as User... strange...
But I donnot know anything about Linux, expect the things "Geri" told me, so I have to relay on him...
thanx Geri...

Or, before you change too much in your configuration files (and screw things up),, try this.
~$ man sudoers
Read for awhile then;
~$ su root (your password) : visudo
Now go down the file until you see root ALL=(ALL) ALL
And add another line just below that one. alo ALL=(ALL) ALL
That is it. Now save the file (Exit), yes.
Now you have THE POWER. Be careful. When you understand more about Sudoers you can change this file to allow users to do only some things, and limit the amount of time a password is good for.
Now, Right click on the screen and select Create Launcher.
'TYPE:' 'Application in Terminal' 'Name:' MountCD 'Command:' sudo mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom
You can click on the icon and pick a different one. Click 'OK'
You should now have a MountCD icon on the desktop. Put a CD in the drive, wait for the light to stop blinking, and double click the new icon. Open a file browser and see if it worked. You can also create a cdrom folder in your /home directory and mount it there. Just Trash any icons that are not useful anymore.
One more Launcher, to UMOUNT the CD.
Same as first one, only name 'UmountCD', and command will be - sudo umount /cdrom
Or do the xfce thingy.

so, this means I as "alo" have the same rights as "root" has ? If so, why don' t I log in as root directly (always) ? Plus yes doesn`t realy solve the problem, still no automount. So if I understood right, I think its better to use the Xfce panel mount thing... it is always a workaround, isn't it ? I am using Xfce anyway especially because of the window manager.
But thanks for help anyway so now I know what sudoers is about. What about discussing the CD Rom thing in the thread mentioned above ? Might get a bit messy otherwise..

I added this note on my tutorial about setting up Xwindow with different video outputs:
If you use a DVI or HDMI (i.e. digital) output, you should comment out a line in the xorg configuration file, or the X server won't start. To do so, edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and comment out this line: Option "ConnectorTable" "64,2,1,2,60,1,1,1"
Note: You must NOT comment out this line if you use a monitor thought the DVI->VGA adapter (analog output).
Thanks to Giuseppe Coviello for the information. _________________ Philippe 'Elwood' Ferrucci Sam460 1.10 Ghz AmigaOS 4 betatester Amiga Translator Organisation |
