No init.
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
#

External HDD.

For those you getting

Code:

No init.
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
#

Copy the 10 .imgs to the internal's root.

Just to chime, in I really like that I can use Ubuntu on my 120GB slim, but I'm going to wait until sound is implemented before I use this daily.

Alright guys, I know i'm gonna get laughed at. But will installing ubuntu in my ps3... allow me to install and run games... say... WoW?

Of course i'm 99% sure that's a no, but it's better to make sure, yes?

That's a 100% no to WoW, maybe yes to some native Linux games that don't have any remotely high system requirements... say, NES emulators. But definitely no to WoW. Sorry mate.

No. It probably won't run anything other then emulators. We don't have enough power to do that. Even running ubuntu by itself with swap is still pretty slow. If you want to play 3D games on linux you need a regular computer until RSX is implemented and even then I honestly believe a distro is gonna have to be fully designed to take advantage of the entire PS3 before it becomes full speed.

has anyone who has got ubuntu working on the ps3 tried installing XBMC on it yet?

heres a guide to installing XBMC on ubuntu

HOW-TO install XBMC for Linux on Ubuntu, a Step-by-Step Guide - XBMC

if this can work i might finally try linux on my ps3.

then its just a matter of having a dual boot option and we get our ps3 media player + homebrew station all in one!

The guide you provided doesn't work, you'll have to compile xbmc from source.
