IN MEMORIAM

U.S.M.C. Major General Smedley Butler explains what all the sacrifices were REALLY for:

Sunday, May 28, 2017

EXPERIMENTAL VERSION

Ubuntu 17.04 64-bit
Kernel 4.9.21-v8+ ARM64
Xfce 4.12.3
X.Org 1.19.3
Gallium 0.4 on LLVM 4.0, 128 bits
Mesa 17.0.3
Preconfigured for Waveshare 10.1 inch IPS touchscreen

LINK REMOVED USE BETA5
Administrator (sudo) raz has a password of ubuntu2017. Non-admin (no sudo) user surfer has a password of silver. Root is disabled.

WORKS

3D video acceleration, desktop effects, built-in WiFi, Bluetooth audio (Pulseaudio 10)

NO WORKIE

Built-in Bluetooth adapter, analog audio, IPv6 disabled in /boot/cmdline.txt (IPv4 only)

DONE

I'm gonna do this all over again for 18.04 LTS but should be MUCH MUCH easier chrooting into an Ubuntu ARM64 system from an Ubuntu ARM64 system. All the commands will work without qemu and I've preloaded the system with build essentials. I really don't plan on investing much more time and effort in it but nothing is held back so it should upgrade to 17.10 without problem.

Cya next year, probably on a new website for Islamic State Linux, the #1 choice for jihadists around the globe. LOL... Some people believe anything they see on TV "news" (propaganda)

OOPS

The default HDMI config is for my Waveshare 10.1 inch IPS touchscreen. I meant to delete those four lines before making the image, oops. Not worth making a new one so edit config.txt on the FAT (Windows) partition with notepad or whatever. Might as well do some configuring of your own while there... if you intend to run a server app like Apache without a GUI, my default max video memory allocation is probably not what you want, see Pi Foundation documentation for more info. Just make sure you don't delete the last line that forces 64-bit mode. The kernel8.img file is full 64-bit the whole way. It won't boot in 32-bit mode.

This never would have happened without Gentoo. It's entirely their fault.

ALPHA2 FINAL

Everything works perfectly and essential networking tools are installed. I'll be adding a swap file next which requires expanding the 2 GB root partition, so this is the final "text/console/base" image. I may not (probably won't) release a beta test image as there's really no point, other than for my own backup purposes. I'm running low on Google Drive space anyways.

At this point you really need to add a new user and install sudo. Once sudo is setup properly you can edit /etc/shadow to disable root. Just copy and paste the first line from another Ubuntu install. You're then ready to do things the Ubuntu way. ;)

NEWBIE COMMAND LINE QUICK START

I updated the apt cache this morning at Starbucks by:

ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan
iwconfig wlan0 essid "Google Starbucks"
dhclient wlan0
links google.com

I could then click the "accept terms" button and apt update.

Piping long output to more or grep is an essential skill:

iwlist wlan0 scan | more
iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID


If you don't know what command to use ask your computer:

apropos dhcp

If you don't know how to use a command read the built-in manual:

man iwconfig

And when finished using your Pi3 end your session properly:

shutdown -h now

SYSTEM INFO

If you cat /proc/version you'll see I cross-compiled the AArch64 kernel on my AMD64 Gentoo machine. If you cat /proc/modules you'll see both spi and i2c are enabled, so you're ready to go with Pi makerspace projects. And if you cat /proc/cpuinfo you'll see all four CPU cores are enabled with hardware math (fp) and cyclical redundancy error checking (crc32) for data transfers.

It may only cost $35 but that's more power than most servers had just 20 years ago!

PRIVACY ENHANCED LINUX 64-BIT ARMv8+

PELinux 64-bit is Ubuntu 17.04 with the Budgie Desktop. Alpha1 is a text console only "base" image and is available now as my contribution back to the community. I started this project with an image like this from Collabora and am still using their 3.18 kernel on my Pi 2 running Murdock Edition (Debian 8 with backports). Unfortunately I had problems with Ubuntu's ARM64 kernel so I'm using the Pi Foundation's 4.9.21 AArch64 kernel instead. I also enabled root with password "raspberry" which isn't the Ubuntu-way (I know) but since there's no user account that can sudo at the moment, it seemed like a wise choice.

I might take this down at any time so if you want a "minimal install" without all the garbage I usually include, get it while it's still hot!

LINK REMOVED, USE ALPHA2

LOSS OF LIBERTY

On June 8, 1967 the U.S.S. Liberty was attacked by Zionist extremists in French-made Mirage fighters purchased by the Rothschild cartel of international banksters. More than any other historical FACT, this is the one the propaganda meisters on TV would like you to forget the most. There's NEVER any mention of it on the so-called "news".



So get REAL and ask yourself, are there any al-Qaeda sleeper agents terrorizing you? Have you ever seen an ISIL militant up close and personal? Funny how the only people who have EVER terrorized you work for your own so-called "government".. and are you stoopid enough to get blown up in a skyscraper demolition? I'm sure they're already lining people up for jobs in the next building that ISIS will supposedly attack. All the 9-11 victims were hand selected.

DON'T FEED THE SWAMP DWELLERS

No sucking noises coming from the swamp. All the swamp dwellers seem pleased with themselves and are proudly displaying their shit-eating grins. What a monumental let down!
