Re: Realtime clock not working

I have the same problem for some time. And also from time to time, workbench hangs when loading. Then, I change the keyboard for one Logitech. And everything works fine since then. Virginio Obviously our problems are somewhat different as in my case it is constant. I do not have a second USB keyboa...

Re: (X)(L)ubuntu (MATE) 17.04 Zesty Zapus

I released the version 0.6 of the MATE PowerPC Remix 2017 for AmigaOne X5000. Thank you for your invaluable efforts, Christian !-) One thing occurred to me... This package is already quite huge to be downloaded, even though it is packed (would take around 6 hours). Would it be possible to have als...

Re: Bootable OS4.1 USB-disk for X5000 with dd?

Does OS4.1 boot from the hard disk? If not, maybe amigaboot.ub isn't installed on the onboard microSD card. I cannot verify that as I have not yet been able to install OS4.1 on a hard disk...! The installation DVD I burned (Linux/Brasero) starts to boot, but the boot process stops (as well as all d...

Re: Bootable OS4.1 USB-disk for X5000 with dd?

Sorry, I haven't seen your post. Yes, it is possible to make a bootable USB stick with dd from the OS4.1 ISO. I copied the OS4.1 ISO with dd to a SanDisk USB flash drive on ubuntu MATE and after that, I successfully booted it with U-Boot. Sometimes you have to execute the U-Boot command usb reset ....

Re: Bootable OS4.1 USB-disk for X5000 with dd?

Is it possible (e.g. in Ubuntu Mate 16.04 Live) to make a bootable USB-stick from the OS4.1 installation diskimage (.iso), using dd? When I tried that, the copying was finished succesfully, but the result was not bootable... Some other comand or program to try...? - Roland - No one wanting to comme...

Re: Problem with DVD drive and U-Boot

Actually you have the hardware needed :) There are several ways but if the X5000 is the only machine you have with an optical reader you can boot into linux and create an image of the installation CD and dump it into a USB stick. I guess DD is included in the live usb stick you have? Or maybe even ...

Re: Problem with DVD drive and U-Boot

Have you tried to boot from a usb stick? Not yet... Unfortunately I do not have currently the hardware needed to make a such one myself. My classic Amiga does not have an USB port... From the U-Boot comand list I understood 'netbooting' might be a third solution. Is that correct? But here again I w...
