14.04 is quite old. You can find 18.04 base here: https://openbeak.net/openframe/images/u ... 3.16.85op/

Thanks i'll take a look, clearly i cant go for the latest 24.04 and try it on joggler HW, that would be a bit too enthusiastic.
12.04 and 14.04 were the direct download builds i found that worked out the box when burnt onto a USB via Rufus or Yumi.

The big challenge i have is creating the BTRFS / EXT4 file system from the ubuntu ISO download, thats the bit i got stuck on.

This one should do that, i have tested it on mine. heres the original post: viewtopic.php?t=4519
Might want to give a newer debian install a try instead.

Bit late perhaps, but you can install a desktop onto the new Debian images, no problem. Off the top of my head it'd be something like:

Code: Select all

sudo of-install xserver
sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop

You only need to add X with the install script because it throws a couple of useful settings in there, iirc. Beyond that you can just follow any generic Linux desktop instructions.

Never too late, my Joggler has been down for surgery. Getting additional USB ports installed inside. Now rocking three external ports, and can use a mouse too (i know shocking use of a port rather than the touchscreen but easier to navigate.
if i recall 18.04 i386 distro is the last release that has the Atom Cpu support so thats logical. From what i can understand the ext4.img.gz & BTRFS.img.gz versions are compiled to run on Atom. Using Rufus with a ubuntu 18.04 i386 image from ubuntu's website to create a bootable USB stick image, doesnt result in a bootable solution for the joggler. Therfore i assume the versions that are on forum are "custom" for the atom?

Will deffo try the 18.04 link above and try to install the gui
