- Download and extract the kernel image, vmlinux-4.1.17
Download: vmlinux-4.1.17-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.bz2 (http://www.xenosoft.de/vmlinux-4.1.17-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.bz2)
- Download the new installation initial ramdisk. I suggest to download it with a right click on the link and then with the menu point "Save target as" or something like this.
Download: initrd-4.1.17-1.ubuntu16.04-ppc64.gz (http://www.xenosoft.de/initrd-4.1.17-1.ubuntu16.04-ppc64.gz)

USB pen drive.
- You can boot the installer using the commands below:
CFE> ramdisk –z –addr=0x24000000 –fatfs usbdisk0:initrd-4.1.17-1.ubuntu16.04-ppc64.gz
From the CF card:
CFE> ramdisk –z –addr=0x24000000 –fatfs cf0:initrd-4.1.17-1.ubuntu16.04-ppc64.gz
CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/ramdisk"
- From a USB pen drive:
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-4.1

From a USB pen drive:
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-4.1
From the CF card:
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.1

menu entry.
CFE> setenv -p MENU_2_LABEL "ubuntu MATE 16.04 with kernel 4.1"
CFE> setenv -p MENU_2_COMMAND 'set pmu -astate=A4 ; setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb9 quiet ro splash" ; boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.1'
[/list]
I successfully tested the new installation initial ramdisk for the installation of ubuntu MATE 16.04 with the stable longterm kernel 4.1.17 today.
PLEASE test the new installation initial ramdisk.

Hi All,
I updated ubuntu MATE 16.04 today.
New:
- GCC-6
- libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
- Firefox 44.0.2
- LibreOffice 5.1.0.3
- Mutiny (new panel layout - topmenu - mate-dock-applet)
After the update I had to copy the r600_dri.so to /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/dri.
sudo cp /usr/local/mesa-10.0.4/lib/dri/r600_dri.so /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/dri
Then I logged on again and the 3D acceleration works again.
Julian released a new ubuntu MATE 16.04 installation initial RAM disk today.
New:
This one should auto select and install the proper Ubuntu-Mate Desktop down to themes and Ubuntu-Welcome as well as installing the Xorg.conf and 4.1.18 modules.
So no software selection screen is shown during the installation.
The install script functions tested ok on my Sam460ex with the Sam460ex version .
Regards Julian

Hi All,
Spectre660 has recently released an img for a USB pen drive with a Ubuntu 16.04 base installation. This img is for all AmigaONEs. ;)
Download: Amigaone_Ubuntu_16.04-Base-1.img.7z (http://www.xenosoft.de/Amigaone_Ubuntu_16.04-Base-1.img.7z)
@Spectre660: Many thanks for this img. It's really small.
I will try it out today. First, I will install the Lubuntu desktop. After that I will try to install the ubuntu MATE desktop. I am looking forward to my installation party.
Have a nice day. :)
Cheers,
Christian

Installation instructions
- Download the image from the following link: Amigaone_Ubuntu_16.04-Base-1.img.7z (http://www.xenosoft.de/Amigaone_Ubuntu_16.04-Base-1.img.7z)
- Decompress the downloaded image with 7-Zip
- Copy it with dd on Linux or with the USB image Tool on Windows to a USB flash drive.
For example with Linux:
dd if=Amigaone_Ubuntu_16.04-Base-1.img of=disk drive ID
In my case /dev/sdh:
dd if=Amigaone_Ubuntu_16.04-Base-1.img of=/dev/sdh
- The ROOT partition is very small (1.8GB). You can increase it with GParted if you like. I have a 64GB USB flash drive. I increased the ROOT partition to 58.36GB.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-M5b31gGssig/VttAsidsjJI/AAAAAAAACVo/YXSel9a24HE/w1117-h279-no/GParted_Ubuntu_16.04_USB_flash_drive_1.png)

- Turn on the AmigaONE X1000 and press F to enter the CFE prompt. Insert the USB flash drive.
- Next enter the following at the CFE> prompt (pressing enter after each line):
setenv bootargs "root=the_ROOT_partition_on_your_usb_flash_drive quiet ro splash rootdelay=5"
I booted my X1000 with Debian before and I saw that the ROOT partition on the USB flash drive is /dev/sdd2.
In my case:
setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdd2 quiet ro splash rootdelay=5"
I use the stable longterm kernel 4.1.18 (http://www.xenosoft.de/vmlinux-4.1.18-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz) on my CF card to boot Ubuntu 16.04 on the USB flash drive. You can use an other kernel if you like.
boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.1
Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) Amigaone tty1
Amigaone login:
- The login details are as follows:
Username of amigaone has the password amigaone
- Please configure your network interface with DHCP with the following command:
sudo dhclient network_device
You can figure out the correct network interface with /sbin/ifconfig -a.
In my case:
sudo dhclient enp6s5
- I installed the Lubuntu desktop with the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
- [this will take some time to complete depending on the speed of your internet connection]
- After that shutdown your AmigaONE X1000 with:
sudo halt
We need a xorg.conf on this system so we have to copy zappa2009's radeon xorg.conf (http://www.xenosoft.de/X.org.conf.zip) file to /etc/X11 on the ROOT partition of the USB flash drive with an other system.
cp X.org.conf/Xorg.conf.radeon /media/_your_username_/_disk_id_of_the_partition_on_the_USB_flash_drive_/etc/X11/xorg.conf
- Turn on the AmigaONE X1000 and press F to enter the CFE prompt. Insert the USB flash drive.
- Next enter the following at the CFE> prompt (pressing enter after each line):
setenv bootargs "root=the_ROOT_partition_on_your_usb_flash_drive quiet ro splash rootdelay=5"
In my case:
setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdd2 quiet ro splash rootdelay=5"
boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.1
- The Lubuntu login screen appears. Please login.
Username of amigaone has the password amigaone[/list]
Here you are. :)

Hi All,
I successfully tested Julian's latest image of ubuntu MATE 16.04 final beta PowerPC for the AmigaONE X1000 with Radeon HD Northern Islands graphics cards (https://www.dropbox.com/s/vo8d1plwhh87wrp/Ubuntu-Mate_16.04-X1000-NI-2.img.7z?dl=0) today.
I was able to boot ubuntu MATE 16.04 final beta PowerPC with the kernel 4.6-rc1 (http://www.xenosoft.de/vmlinux-4.6-rc1-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz) from my 64GB USB flash drive. It works fantastic with my AMD Radeon HD6870.
