Building, tweaking and supporting these images is a time consuming process, if you find it useful please consider shouting me a beer or a pack of crisps using the above link :)

Thank you to all who have donated, it is greatly appreciated and encouraging. These last few weeks have been hectic for me, but I will resume work on v1.4 after I have finished some personal business which will take another couple weeks. I am still passionate about joggler tinkering and this project is not abandoned. Thank you again.

The most current stable version of the image is: v1.3a

Joggler Ubuntu Netboot Remix Edition 9.10 v1.3a Image

 

This is a vanilla base install that will work completely off a usb stick without touching the standard O2 image.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Touch screen works fine, sound working, networking (wifi and lan) works via dhcp. The SSH server, NTP and Cellwriter (on screen keyboard) are all installed.

Username: joggler
Password: joggler

To get root access, login as joggler and execute
sudo su -
Then joggler as the password.

To use this image:
You need at least a 4GB usb stick that you are prepared to wipe. This will work on larger usb sticks but you will only have access to 4GB unless you create an extra new partition and add it to fstab, preferably using the UUID as the device/partition identifier. You can even use this method on an external usb hard disk. Remember, this will wipe whatever you have on your usb stick or external hard disk.

Download, check the md5sum then extract the tarball.

In linux or OSX do:
wget http://www.stephenford.org/joggler/files/v1.3/joggler_unr_9.10_v1.3a.bin.tar.gz
wget http://www.stephenford.org/joggler/files/v1.3/joggler_unr_9.10_v1.3a.bin.tar.gz.md5sum

dd if=joggler_unr_9.10_v1.3a.bin of=<your_own_device> bs=10M count=365

There could be no output for a good number of minutes whilst it writes to your usb stick, be patient. The time it takes depents on the speed of your usb stick or external usb hard disk. It can take between 1 hour (usb1 speed) to 25 minutes. It may error at the end, do not worry, the important part of the image is in the first 3.8gb even though it is 4gb in size.

Example devices: /dev/sda or /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc

Warning: DO NOT blindly try these examples, you could accidentally destroy the wrong device (eg hard disk or another usb stick). This is a serious warning, be careful and if unsure ask for assistance. There are many ways to determine what device name your computer assigns to it. The easiest way is to connect your usb stick, check dmesg, then double check with fdisk -l

For Windows users:
There is a simple way to put the Joggler Ubuntu image on a usb stick, remember this will wipe the usb stick completely.
1. Download http://www.stephenford.org/joggler/files/v1.3/joggler_unr_9.10_v1.3a.bin.tar.gz
2. Extract the file (using winrar, 7zip etc) until you have just joggler_unr_9.10_v1.3a.bin remaining.
3. Rename joggler_unr_9.10_v1.3a.bin to joggler_unr_9.10_v1.3a.img
4. Download the Win32DiskImager.exe v0.1 program - v0.2 has issues
5. Unzip the file and extract the contents to a known directory
6. Run W32DiskImager.exe
7. Select the joggler_unr_9.10_v1.3a.img image file (.img)
8. Select the drive letter which corresponds to the USB key
9. Click the "Write" button to byte-copy the image to the USB drive.
