Ubuntu

From AlwaysInnovating

Ubuntu is provided since 2009-12.a (current is 2010-01.b). All applications provided in AI OS are in the Ubuntu release (except Chromium, and video acceleration). Performance is not as good as AI OS because Ubuntu doesn't use the best possible ARM compilation flags. The default user of the Ubuntu image is "ai" and there is no password. To be root, just type "sudo -s" in a terminal window. You can access the git to read how we prepare the Ubuntu image for the Touch Book.

To compile it on a Linux PC, follow these steps (tested on Ubuntu 9.04):

• First, setup your OpenEmbedded environment as explained on the AI OS compilation page.
• Then install the qemu tools:

sudo apt-get install qemu qemu-arm-static qemu-kvm qemu-kvm-extras debootstrap

• Finally, clone the git and run as root launch-ubuntu.sh:

mkdir /work
cd /work
ln -s /OE/ai.openembedded.dev ai.openembedded.dev
git clone git://git.alwaysinnovating.com/ai.ubuntu
sudo -s
./launch-ubuntu.sh
