Problem installing Lubuntu 14.10

[Srtest]

Much appreciated nexus!

I am more interested in the procedure you used manually. The last comment here by me is indeed about sound issues but if you look in this forum section you'll see that regarding sound most stuff is usually resolved pretty quicklly not like graphics so the same goes here - I quicklly enable the sound. What I did is tried to pass over Alsa whereever it is possible using the Pulse audio system and with the advice here got the sound working again through enabling sound or audio or whatever in the USER privligies setup, and then in the Pulse audio utility I swaped the analouge stereo output (last tab in that utility) with a setting that sometimes appeared as digital setero output and sometimes SPDIF digital output (typical unusual 'nix behaviour), and then finally made sure, according to another advice gotten here, that the sound isn't muted on that very same utility. The sound on Lubuntu and such in the X1000 can output ac3 and dts according to the hardware capabilities which are not being used by me on AOS at the moment.

What our setup have in common is that we both installed with the 3.18 kernel that proved to me the most stable and performance inducing kernel - without losing quality. The difference is that I use an HD5870 and you use an older card that works better on AOS. maybe you should try the xorg.conf fix of older installations (http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz ... =10#p30595).

Maybe Xeno my man will host your fix on his site...

Indeed the scripts for detecting the hardware have been slightly different in
intrd.gz between ubuntu 13.3.2 and 14.10.

So, I exchanged those scripts in 14.10 by those in 13.3.2 and rebuild the ramdisk image by hand again. In addition I included the kernel modules of vmlinux-3.18
(just in case, some have to be loaded by hand during installation) and finally, I could install ubuntu 14.10 with vmlinux-3.18 and that modified ramdisk image initrd.gz.

F a n t a s t i c !!!!!! Well done!

Feel free to test the attached initrd.gz file and try to install ubuuntu 14.10 yourself!

Let me know how u get sound out of your Nemo board!

Cheers,
nexus

P.S. I could not attach the initrd-file. Maybe 18 MB are too large?
If u are interested in testing the installation write a PM to me.
I can email you the ramdisk image then.

I'd like to host it. I sent you a PM.

Maybe you two can cook up some patch that suits whatever initrd.gz file they load up (which has those weird lines nexus talked about) because my investigation led to the difference being between the last 13.10 and the first 14.04 and every initrd from there.

By pass over I mean the Jewish holiday.

@xeno74

I have sent you a PM with a link to the modified initrd.gz file.
Feel free to download it and host it on the X1000 linux site

I hope it works -- no warranties, but it worked for me and my X1000

Thank you very much indeed! Vielen vielen Dank! I uploaded it today.

Download (X)(L)ubuntu (MATE) 14.10 install initial RAM disk by Nexus: initrd-14.10-modified.gz (I suggest to download the install initial RAM disk with a right click on the link and then with the menu point "Save target as" or something like this.)

Copy it to your CF card and boot it with the following commands:

Code: Select all

CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs cf0:initrd-14.10-modified.gz

Code: Select all

CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-3.18

You can also boot it from your USB stick.

Hi Nexus,

Trevor told me he has problems with the modified initrd.gz file.

Quote Trevor:

I tried to use run the initrd-14.10-modified.gz from both usbdisk and cf card by the file is not recognised. I tried it on two AmigaONE X1000.

What is the size of the file?

I will test the new RC6 tomorrow.

Thanks

Trevor

Could you help him, please?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Christian

Weird, nexus's ram image gives a size signature different than it actually is. When you try to download it says one size and then downloads to another size on the hd.
