I have not been able to get core20 to boot on bare metal Intel Celeron 1900, so now I am trying core18.
Instead of using the standard Ubuntu Core 20 image, this time I made a custom one:
{
"type": "model",
"series": "16",
"model": "ubuntu-core-18-amd64",
"display-name":"Ubuntu Core 18 (amd64)",
"architecture": "amd64",
"kernel": "pc-kernel=18",
"gadget": "pc=18",
"base": "core18",
"required-snaps": ["core", "core20", "mir-kiosk", "wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk"],
"authority-id": "FYkzzoGNTG5DNdxZbeYRI1BDR8L7qBm2",
"brand-id": "FYkzzoGNTG5DNdxZbeYRI1BDR8L7qBm2",
"timestamp": "2021-07-28T10:40:41+00:00"
}
At least I get something now. It does not make it all the one to the first time setup, it gets stuck in this loop, I think its waiting for me to SSH in:
It boots up and the last text it shows before the black screen and flashing cursor is:
Then for about a 5 minutes it shows this black screen and flashing cursor, I guess that means its time to SSH:
michael@snapdev:~/terminal/conf/snap/model_assertions$ ssh <username>@192.168.8.105 -i ~/.ssh/ubuntu.com
Enter passphrase for key '/home/michael/.ssh/ubuntu.com':
Connection closed by 192.168.8.105 port 22
After about 5 minutes then it will flash this for a few seconds:
Then return to the black screen with flashing cursor.
If I press the power button to turn off the computer it shows this is the first text shown:
And this is the last text:
On about the 20th reboot it actually started:
Just before wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk
starts, it flashes “Press enter to configure” for about 1second. I smash enter continously as its about to show, and while it shows, but it does not stop for it, and continues to wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk
.
So may main problem is how to configure it so I can setup the network, so then I can SSH into it.
