Pb with blackrhino network

Hello

I'm new in Linux on PS2.
I have a PS2 fat with a DMS3+ modchip.

I have installed Blackrhino on my PS2 HDD (i have the HDD adaptator, a usb keyboard and a usb mouse)

The problem is that I can't update the system (with dselect command) and install packages because the network doesn't work

What I have tried :
I have modified the interfaces file (in etc/network/ folder) to make it work with DHCP but it's the same

My questions : what did I missed? what can I do to make it work?

Other question : Is there a distribution of blackrhino which include natively a graphical environment and a working network?

Thanks per advance for your answers

Mega Man has a great LiveDVD which should work with DHCP and has a graphical interface. Try it and if you like it, you can load it on your hard drive.

Download ps2livedvd_v2.7z (2.4 GB)

It's a very large download, but worth it ;-)

OK

I have learned that you have made a distro

in the ps2linuxdistrocommentsv8 you said that you have made an installer called ps2linux vx.x

where can I find it I don't find it in your 4shared directory and how can I use it?

how do you load the live dvd v2 on the hdd (the live dvd works on my PS2)? what are the command?

is it possible to add softwares to the live dvd on the hdd?

PS2 Linux Live DVD - You would need to be able to setup your root and swap partitions with fdisk. This occurs in step 7 from Mega Man's FAT PS2 installation tutorial - HOWTO: How to Install Linux on a Playstation 2 without Sony's Offical Linux Kit

Then you need to follow this instructions in the main LiveDVD post on how to setup the DISC.BIN file on /dev/hda (note use "hda" in place of "sda") - http://psx-scene.com/forums/f167/rel...tml#post496769

As for my PS2-Linux installer, it is located at this 4shared link - 4shared - My 4shared - shared folder - free file sharing and storage

Use this installer - ps2linux_v0.8.zip
You also need the files in this 4shared subfolder - 2010_Mar_base_and_usrlocal_package

thanks for the links again

i have successfully installed Linux using DISC BIN on the hard drive and kloader elf on the memory card

i have tried to update the system using dselect command but it does not work

is there any other way to do it

I would like the ps2 linux to play xvid video or mkv

@mapomme1108

From the terminal window, use "mplayer". You can test the various video types and see which ones work. The PS2 does ok with 240x320 videos, but beyond that you might have problems. You can sometimes play without sound, but when sound is turned on, the video stutters.

OK but I was thinking about playing playing xvid videos with something like 640x272
and mkv videos up to 720p
if there is no way to do it, i think i will stop linux on ps2 at this point

thanks for your help

@mapomme1108

Whenever I attempted to play higher resolution videos than basic youtube 320x240, the result was bad (too slow, stuttering video/audio). You of course know about SMS, right? SMS (PS2 native homebrew, NOT PS2-Linux program) is the most capable video display program on the PS2 and should be able to handle what you throw at it (even though you might have to convert to a compatible container sometimes). Since you already have PS2-Linux installed, you should have mplayer, so you should try it "mplayer filename" from the terminal window (there are options to mplayer that might be needed, enter "mplayer" by itself to see the options). As for dselect, the original servers are long gone, however you can do this to fix it and see available packages:

Edit this file, making only this line (comment out other dead servers):

/etc/apt/sources.list
