Hi All,

I successfully updated my ubuntu MATE 15.10 PowerPC to 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus on my AmigaONE X1000 today. I want to do some beta testing.
I created update instructions for the AmigaONE X1000 today. Link: forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz





Spectre660 has successfully installed the version 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus on his Sam460.



Cheers,

Christian

On my Intel Mac I use ubuntu MATE 14.04. I like the retrospective future.

Cheers,

Christian

But, I don't remember my root password, so I can't copy the files to /boot and /lib/modules.

As the system don't have GRUB I don't knw how to make a new the password.

@ribdevil

You have to boot in the single-user mode. Add just " 1" to the end of the line of the boot arguments:

Quote:
U-Boot> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sda2 1"


If you do get the prompt, the / filesystem may not be mounted rw (although "mount" may say it is). Do:

Quote:
mount -o remount,rw /


If that doesn't work (it might not), just type "mount" to find out where "/" is mounted. Let's say it is on /dev/sda2. You'd then type:

Quote:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda2


If you can do this, just type "passwd" once you are in and change it to whatever you like.

@All

Just for info:

The drm-fixes-4.5 were included in the official Linux kernel source code two days ago. That means we don't need the byte swap code for Radeon firmwares in the Nemo patch anymore.

Or edit the a1boot.conf

Quote:
Debian /boot/uImage root=/dev/sda2 1

Hi All,

I created an installation initial ramdisk for the installation of ubuntu MATE 16.04 with the stable longterm kernel 4.1.17.

1. Download and extract the kernel image, vmlinux-4.1.17
Download: vmlinux-4.1.17-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.bz2

2. Download the new installation initial ramdisk. I suggest to download it with a right click on the link and then with the menu point "Save target as" or something like this.
Download: initrd-4.1.17-1.ubuntu16.04-ppc64.gz

3. Copy them to a USB pen drive or to the CF card

4. Turn on the AmigaONE X1000 and press F to boot to enter CFE prompt. Insert the USB pen drive.

5. You can boot the installer using the commands below:

5.1 From a USB pen drive:
Quote:
CFE> ramdisk –z –addr=0x24000000 –fatfs usbdisk0:initrd-4.1.17-1.ubuntu16.04-ppc64.gz

From the CF card:
Quote:
CFE> ramdisk –z –addr=0x24000000 –fatfs cf0:initrd-4.1.17-1.ubuntu16.04-ppc64.gz


5.2 Quote:
CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/ramdisk"


5.3 From a USB pen drive:
Quote:
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-4.1

From the CF card:
Quote:
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.1


6. Select Language

7. Select Your Locatation

8. Detect Keyboard Layout. Select No and Pick from the list

9. Configure Network

10. Enter Hostname

11. Select the Ubuntu Archive Mirror Country - [it is configured for the UK]

12. Select the Ubuntu archive mirror "ports.ubuntu.com"

13. Leave the HTTP Proxy parameter blank

14. When prompted that no kernel modules were found select Yes to continue
without loading them.

15. The installer components will be retrieved from the Ubuntu mirror [this will take a
long time]

16. Enter your Full Name

17. Enter your username for your account

18. Enter your password and confirm

19. Select No to Encrypt your home directory

20. Confirm your time zone

21. When prompted for module dm-mod leave the parameter blank and select
continue

22. Click Continue at the warning of "Software RAID not available"

23. Click Continue at the warning of "Logical Volume Manager not available"

24. You can now partition your disk

You must exercise caution when modifying your partition tables!

25. The base system will now be retrieved from the mirror site and installed

26. Select “Install security updates automatically"

27. At the software selection screen you will be asked to select which *buntu
flavour(s) you would like to install. You can install as many as you like. To install
ubuntu MATE arrow down to the “Ubuntu MATE desktop” option and press the
space bar to mark the option. Now press return to continue.

28. The additional packages required to install the full desktop will be retrieved and
installed. - [this will take some time to complete depending on the speed of your
internet connection]

29. At “Continue without boot loader” take note of your root partition.

30. Select Yes to set confirm the system clock is set as UTC.

31. Select Continue to finish the installation and reboot!

32. Press F to boot to enter CFE prompt. Remove if necessary and re-insert the USB
pen drive containing the vmlinux-4.1 kernel. Enter the following commands replacing
the root partition (sdb9) with the ID of the partition where you installed ubuntu
MATE.

Quote:
CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb9"

From a USB pen drive:
Quote:
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-4.1

From the CF card:
Quote:
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.1


33. Later, you could copy the kernel vmlinux-4.1 to the CF card and configure a CFE
menu entry.
Quote:
CFE> setenv -p MENU_2_LABEL "ubuntu MATE 16.04 with kernel 4.1"

Quote:
CFE> setenv -p MENU_2_COMMAND 'set pmu -astate=A4 ; setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb9 quiet ro splash" ; boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.1'


I successfully tested the new installation initial ramdisk for the installation of ubuntu MATE 16.04 with the stable longterm kernel 4.1.17 today.

PLEASE test the new installation initial ramdisk.

Cheers,

Christian
