[LINUX] Apple TV Crystalbuntu (Ubuntu Linux and Crystal HD) Disk Image for Apple TV - Sam.Nazarko - 2010-06-02 Hey, I'm sure many of you are hearing about the superior performance of CrystalHD with Linux in comparison to the Apple TV OS and want to try it for yourselves. I am posting a disk image that will allow you to do just that without needing any Linux knowledge at all I have optimised a Ubuntu 8.0.4 installation for you and have imaged it so you can easily restore it to a 4GB flash drive. However, please note that I have not minimalised this install much, it is OpenOffice short of a fully fledged Ubuntu desktop. I recommend that you remove the packages that you do not want and customise the installation to your preference. Full Image Download (Sam Nazarko) ~ 780MB Code: md5 hash: d4cb24bca0042e84425ab23454a5bab4
Note: Use a high speed flash drive for optimal performance. If you are restoring to a hard drive, and it will be the only mass storage device connected to aTV, you will need to modify com.apple.boot.plist kernel parameters, for they assume that the installation is located at /dev/sdb2. Under Linux: Linux will let you natively image your USB without third party utilities. After downloading the image, extract it with: then write it to USB with: Code: sudo dd if=xbmc-r28256-crystalHD-1.0.3-alsa-1.019-nvidia100.14.19-hardy-cust_machkernel-2.6.24.27.img of=device bs=4096 Under Windows: You can restore the disk image (after extracting) with USB Image Tool, nab the latest version from here. Extract the archive and run the application as an Administrator. It is important you run it as an administrator as it is necessary to restore the image in Device Mode for correct functionality Note: To regain full access to your USB in Windows at a later date, restore this 512 byte bootsector Minimalised Disk Image by pin87a ~ 650MB This is a minimal version of my disk image. It means that there is not a Ubuntu desktop, and it uses the XBMC live package. Code: download:
Just like my image it includes atvclient, crystalHD, ALSA, functional Nvidia drivers, r28256 of XBMC, cpu throttling and a custom mach_kernel (mine uses older kernel though). The same imaging methods apply. The SSH username and password are the same, as is all other information under the reference heading. Requires 4GB (or larger) usb drive. Image is slightly undersized so it should fit on all 4GB drives. ----- I should be done with a new version of atv-win in a couple of months, allowing you to customise the software you want to install like the Mac version, and allowing custom scripts. Check my twitter for updates. Enjoy! - brock_gonad - 2010-06-02 Sam.Nazarko Wrote:Okay, sorry for the delay, the image was finished last night and I was just "testing" it Nice work! Looking forward to testing it myself. - Riderzzz - 2010-06-02 WOOHOO!! Great work again!!!! Can't wait to plug this baby in the usb-port! - davilla - 2010-06-02 Nice job Sam. - reddeath - 2010-06-02 Where is the link going to be posted? - Sam.Nazarko - 2010-06-02 right here. - reddeath - 2010-06-02 How big is it? I cannot wait to check it out. - frumpy_uk - 2010-06-02 Looking forward to this. Good stuff. - Sam.Nazarko - 2010-06-02 @reddeath - it's weighing in at around ~780MB as a RAR - bare in mind it will be 4GB extracted i think my server's going to get hit quite badly sorry about the slow upload - evandena - 2010-06-03 Sam.Nazarko Wrote:@reddeath - it's weighing in at around ~780MB as a RAR - bare in mind it will be 4GB extracted Upload it to Usenet - curlyjs - 2010-06-03 Sam.Nazarko Wrote:@reddeath - it's weighing in at around ~780MB as a RAR - bare in mind it will be 4GB extracted Thanks for the hard work... I think this will be much appreciated from a lot of ATV user. For each user saying thanks, I'm guessing that there's 2-3 hiding that will benefit from this. Sam, why not use torrent for this? Not all of us has access to newsgroups. Davilla, what's difference from your solution that you were hinting a few days back? JS - reddeath - 2010-06-03 Is the link up already? I don't see anywhere to download the file. - Sam.Nazarko - 2010-06-03 No the link isn't up yet. Not a fan of torrents or UseNet. - docentore - 2010-06-03 is it easy to change audio output to toslink? - Sam.Nazarko - 2010-06-03 just change the device output in XBMC. |
