Hi there,

I followed the instructions for installing Ubuntu Mate 15.10 on the X1000 this week, using the 4.2 kernel as per the instructions. The installation does work, but like AlicePPC I also don't get a X-Windows GUI, just a black screen that flashes every few seconds. If I do the CTRL-ALT-F1 thing I get a terminal session I can login to.

Like AlicePPC, I also can't run X-configure as no card found, and see the same problems. I have the 4.2 kernel loaded onto my CF card, and loaded in the X1000 menu as per the instructions in the guide (thanks for this btw - very helpful).

I have a Radeon R9 250X installed if that helps. Because I need this card for the Warp3D Southern Island support under AmigaOS4.1 on the X1000, I don't want to remove it just to run linux. I understand from other threads it is not working right now?

FYI I note that an extra dialog box appears on my install that was not mentioned in the instructions - a prompt saying the kernel wasn't detected or something (?) and that the partition would not boot without it, ok to proceed? I proceeded anyway. It does boot anyway, so I assume it reads the kernel needed from the CF card. Might be worth explaining that the custom partition option is really needed, as the default options are mostly useless unless you are not running AmigaOS4.1 on the same system. I found once you wiped the second drive and selected the Guided partition option within custom it set up everything correctly. Just thought you should know as it may help linux newbies interested to try linux dual booting on their x1000 with a second hard drive.

I want to try Ubuntu Mate out, but hit a brick wall.

I also tried the 4.3 kernel RC1 and RC1-2 kernels, but the Ubuntu Mate does not boot at all in this configuration.

Any help appreciated.

Catcha,

Fantastic! Do you use the RC1 or the RC1-2 for Debian 8?

Many thanks for testing! Could you please try the kernel 3.19? Download: vmlinux-3.19.0-KVM-PR-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2

For the kernel 3.19 you need Upstart and the rw boot argument.

Code: Select all

 sudo apt-get install upstart-sysv

Code: Select all

setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb7 quiet ro splash rw"

FYI I note that an extra dialog box appears on my install that was not mentioned in the instructions - a prompt saying the kernel wasn't detected or something (?) and that the partition would not boot without it, ok to proceed?

Yes, ok to proceed is correct. Could you tell me when does the extra dialog box appears?

[AlicePPC]

I use RC1..after i can test the rc1-2
But the last time what i use the rc1-2 for install debian 8 blank screen appear just after cfe load the vmlinux...not screen linux appear loading..only blank screen and after a few minutes the x1000 restart..
Sorry for my poor english
