A few days ago I said I had got Ubuntu working, with some help from several here, and this was in fact in a graphics mode with no keyboard or mouse: I just had the 4G USB stick plugged direct in to the Joggler's sole USB socket.
So I started to try to get a keyboard working. I had an old, probably USB1, hub and gave it a thrash. No good and it's now in the bin. I managed to get it working by using a Mac keyboard which has a couple of slave sockets, which I used for mouse and USB stick. This got Ubuntu going to the Logon point, the keyboard worked OK but the boot process did not bring up the Ubuntu desktop. So I spent a few more skekels on a rubber mat keyboard and a combined hub and mouse. Same result. I can log on but not get to the desktop. Here's what is visible on the Joggler screen after the various startup messages (with no errors that I could see): ------------- Start of screen transcript ---------------- Ubuntu 9.10 Joggletop tty1 Joggletop login: Joggler Password: Linux Joggletop 2.6.31-20-generic #58 SMP Wed Apr 14 02:29:59 CEST 2010 1686 To access official Ubuntu documentation, please visit: http://help.ubuntu.com/ jogg...@joggletop:~$ * Stopping NTP server ntpd * Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd * Starting NTP server ntpd jogg...@joggletop:~$ ------------- End of screen transcript ---------------- At this stage the keyboard is fully active and I can enter any command and it appears to work. But I don't know how to start the Ubuntu desktop. Any help would be much appreciated. -- Tim Powys-Lybbe [email protected] for a miscellany of bygones: http://powys.org/ -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
