One also needs this command after each kernel upgrade.


Isn't there a "nobootloader" package or functionality around that handles this? Pegasos support has been reported as being in there, but.. it is just not installed in the absense of a boot loader, because you can't install without a boot loader properly (sigh).

http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs ... /changelog

God knows why it doesn't work.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/mkvmlinuz

As for mkvmlinuz, there is no Hardy package for it I can see, but I remember from Debian there is a way to have mkvmlinuz run after kernel installation. The /etc/kernel/postinst.d should contain a mkvmlinuz file which contains the correct stuff, I just don't recall how you force it to be selected.. and I still don't understand why mkvmlinuz isn't part of the boot CD anyway along with the nobootloader .udeb :(

I created now these two files also for the EFIKA. Please note, that there is no sound on Ubuntu 8.04 on the EFIKA (unless you use an USB sound device).

The problems are the same as on the Pegasos (broken selections, no bootloader).

I've installed the 8.04 version for the peg2 and all works perfect.
A lot of thanks for the work.
Any news about 3d drivers for radeon for ppc? And flash?
Im really happy with Ubuntu running on peg :)

Most likely all you need is to add:
Code:
Load "dri"

to the relevant section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

If it does not solve your problem, I'll check it tomorrow.

Hi Doremon,

I have dri working with 6.06 lts on peg2. Some flash works with swfplayer... but a nice gnash would be cool.

I'm going to try to install hardy soon.

Thank you.

Hello,

I have tried to install the latest ubuntu 8.04, hardy herron, but in vain. This afternoon I tried to perform a netinstall on a free partition not to destroy my present install. Here is the unfolding of my try.

I have encoutered problems to download the kernels, firefox only downloads under 1 ko of each other, I download them with ibrowse without problems. I start the process, many steps are jumped, I do know which network interface is chosen from eth0 or from eth1, no choice neither for universal time coordinated or not, the detection of the hard drives and their partitions goes very fast. As it is a netinstall I can not choose others depots than these by default at the united kingdom. Arrived at the step "choose and install software", at 2%, just before tasksel, it is asked me to choose for a desktop, I choose ubuntu desktop, it says "please wait". After a little while there is a download and at 6% there is again "please wait". I have been waiting for more than 30 minutes but the process seems dead so I stop it dead and I am not sure that I will give it an other try. I have only one computer, my peg2, and the install of the latest ubuntu distro which could takes a quarter or an half journey is not acceptable for me.

The package selection is br0ken with the netinstaller (read czp comments above) BUT i managed to install gnome and other packages. You have to just guess right I guess.. :) But I can boot with the kernel that czp provided...

Hello,

I have just performed a new netinstall of ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron successfully.

Yesterday on irc a friend told me on quey to deactivate the firewall of my modem router. I have searched for a moment how to perform this on my netgear dg834 v2 modem router adsl. Netgear offers to the user the services of trendmicro home, but these are only availables for pc's under m$ xp or vista. So I deactivated their services and their parental controls. I verified that no sites, services or keyword were blocked. Then I verifyed the rules of the firewall, nothing in the inbound ports nor in the outbound ports. I saw that for the outbound port the action per default is allow always but for the inbound port the action per default is block always. So I created a rule in the inbound section and I indicated as action to always allow.

Now I have a problem to boot onto hardy's partition. At the end the installer indicated root=/dev/sde6. Why ? Usually it indicates root=/dev/hda(x). Is it because I lefted my multi front panel usb plugged at the rear side to a motherboard usb port ? Usually I have a pci usb2 card plugged to the peg2. But since a few days it seems dead and I removed it. Otherwise impossible to boot any os than morphos 2.

yes for some weird reason the ubuntu hardy installer I guess reads it as a scsi device (hence the "s" afaik) I have the same thing - I was using root=/dev/hdb5 and wondered why it wouldnt boot :) Has nothing to do with your usb afaik. I had to use root=/dev/sdb5.

OK, here they are:

http://genesi.hu/ubuntu/peg804_netinst

This will boot on Pegasos and do a network installation. A few bugs:

- software selection does not really work during installation. At least xubuntu and some other desktops failed. 'ssh' works :-)

- boot loader installation does not work

The first means, that GUI is not installed. This can be installed later for example by using:
Code:
apt-get install xfce-desktop


The second one means, that there is no bootloader or a bootable kernel installed. One can use the bootable kernel I created:

http://genesi.hu/ubuntu/peg804_boot

Or, if there is another Ubuntu / Debian installation available, then boot that, mount the freshly installed system and execute the following in the boot directory:
Code:
mkvmlinuz -o peg804_boot -a chrp -k vmlinux -i initrd.img -z -v

One also needs this command after each kernel upgrade.


Hi,

I'm trying to install the Ubuntu 8.04 and did not install a desktop environment during the first install. Now I want to install xfce-desktop and did on the prompt
sudo apt-get install xfce-desktop
unfortunatly, this package is not found.
Is this normal? Does I have to add a new depository?
I tried to
sudo apt-get install gnome
This one is found, but it needs lot of dependencies. Is there a way to tell to apt-get to install one package and all the needed dependencies?

thnx
