Well, shoot.
Finding the right ubuntu ISO's is a huge PITA. No wonder Linux never succeeded on the desktop 🙂
Seriously, most of the links in the testing guide aren't valid anymore. All of the arm links I can find for 21.x releases are for server only. And for 22.04, the installer crashes and won't work.
Tried Debian too, but for the life of me I can't get the tools to install. I know I'm rusty, but wow this is a major challenge.
Thanks I'll give that a shot
Another fix to this is to use the netboot image from Ubuntu. I installed it and it works like a dream for me.
when i add
acpi=force
to boot and press ctrl x it just gets stuck on booting a command list
A new preview is dropping tonight. Wait and try again with that one - the workarounds will likely no longer be needed.
