Hi i was trying to install ubuntu, i did everything,i saved the installer in the memory stick,i went to the settings,install os,everything went fine till i swithed to the other os and put the cd and pufffff....my screen turned black and my ps3 shut down.
Now when i try to turn it on the screen is black and after a few seconds the ps3 turns off.....
What can i do now......?
Please help.
2) While in standby hold down the power button (on the front of the console) until you hear 2 beeps, or until the GameOS boots.
Now to install Ubuntu do the following:
1) Get your OtherOS files (2 of the) and put them on a Memory Stick
2) Now get your Ubuntu live cd 7.0.4 ISO
3) Use a burner to burn the Ubuntu as an ISO IMAGE (very important, has to be an .ISO Image)
4) Now format your HDD and select "Custom" and "Allot 10GB to OtherOS"
5) Now you can install your OtherOS (Under System Settings)
6) Now run the OtherOS and while waiting for the Linux Kernel to load, insert the Ubuntu Live CD into your DVD Drive
7) Once the Kernel loads it will say:
Kboot:
8) At Kboot: just hit the enter key on your keyboard
9) You will now be at the Ubuntu Live CD "Trial"
10) Now this is VERY important. The installation wont work unless you do this:
Open System > Administration > Services.
Uncheck everything EXCEPT the CPU frequency manager (powernowd), Graphical login manager (gdm) and System communication bus (dbus).
Now you need to
Open System > Administration > System Monitor. Select the Processes tab.
Kill all processes on the list (right click > Kill Process). The ones that are necessary for the system to install will automatically restart or refuse to be terminated.
11) Once you do that (And ONLY after you do that) You can install
12) Now you just click on the install icon on the desktop and follow the on screen instructions
Congratulations after about an hour of installations you will now have Ubuntu on your PS3.
Thanks Jamio....i'm sorry to ask but where do i get the OtherOS files a nd the live uburuntu cd....i downloaded before the loader for the uburuntu os,i instelled but nothing appera in my screen..so if you have any precise website where i can get this i will apreciate it...and of course..the live uburuntu.
Thanks for your time.
Ok now i'm in the kboot but when i press enter it says
/dev/sr0:/ppc/ppc64/vmlinux-ps3:not found
can somebody tell me what i did wrong? or what i have to do?
Thanks
Did you make sure to burn the Ubuntu as an ISO Image and not just burn it?
I did not have that happen at all, as soon as I hit enter it went right to the Ubuntu desktop.
Since then tho I uninstalled Ubuntu and then installed Kubuntu. If you are not sure if you are burning the ISO correctly, feel free to IM me on AIM (S/N is LpDu7).
I would be more then happy to walk you through the process, and if you need it, could send you a read to install Ubuntu Live CD (The exact one I used without any problems at all).
Hi Jamio,thanks a lot,actually now i'm writing from my uruntu...lol....now here i have the big questions...how do i get my wireless connection to work in the uruntu os and how can i play my blueray movies..?
That's the only thing that i'm missing,right now i have only the wired connection....but that sucks...i already did the upgrade...it was like 129 files...but none of them fixed the problem with the wireless connection and blueray player.
Thanks..
Way to go man, glad to hear it.Ok I had the same problem, give this a go:
Quote: I have custom compiled a 2.6.22 kernel that includes WiFi + UDF 2.5 support for use with Ubuntu, and created a .deb package for it. I have uploaded it to http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7EGHA1CU
There is an issue with using iwconfig in conjunction with this kernel, in that it doesn't appear to be showing the essid correctly, and reports a compilation version mismatch. I personally installed the wireless tools from the Gutsy install to get rid of the errors.
Bluetooth controllers *might* work in this. I haven't had a chance to try it. The controllers may or may not also work via usb. I really am not sure.
Usage Instructions:
1. Download the .deb to a known directory.
2. #>sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.22-rc2_2.6.22-rc2-10.00.Custom_powerpc.deb
3. #>cd /boot
#>ls -al
Look in your /boot/ directory. You should have a symlink to the new kernel named vmlinux and an initrd ramdisk named initrd.img . Your old kernel should be at vmlinux.old and initrd.img.old .
4. #>sudo nano /etc/kboot.conf
Now, you should have an entry that points to vmlinux, as that's where your old kernel used to exist. Copy the line, so you have two identical entries. Then, rename one of them linux_old . Edit this line, so that the image name is vmlinux.old and the initrd is initrd.img.old . The other entry, you need to update the root. (this is where it might get a little tricky) If your old root was /dev/sda1, you need to point it to /dev/ps3da1. This is because the hard disk is now referred to as ps3da, instead of sda. In the end, this is what my kboot.conf looks like:
Also because thats for 1080p, you may have to adjust to your specific needs. This is how you do the adjustments:
Quote: # The following is an example kboot configuration file. Edit it
# to suit your needs before attempting to reboot your system or
# you may be unable to boot the new install.
# default: the default kernel label to boot should the user not make
# a selection. Uncomment the following line and set a default kernel label.
default=Gentoo
# timeout: number of seconds to wait for user input before the default
# kernel label is booted. Uncomment the following line and set timeout.
timeout=10
# The format from this point on is within a kernel label. At a minimum,
# you must pass the kernel and root device. The syntax is as follows:
#
# label='device:<path_to_kernel> initrd=device:<path_to_initrd> kernel_options'
#
# You should also pass the video options as well. An example of video
# options are as follows:
#
# 480i = ps3fb:mode:1
# 576i = ps3fb:mode:6
# 720p = ps3fb:mode:3
# 1080i = ps3fb:mode:4
# 1080p = ps3fb:mode:5
#
# You can review all possible video modes using the ps3videomode application
# provided by the ps3pfutils package. i.e. ps3videomode -v will display
# possibilities.
