Sorry I was gone so long. I have found that WPA works on Feisty, and Feisty is still closer to Dapper in memory consumption (and therefore speed) than to Hardy, so I think it's the way to go. Network Manager doesn't seem to work, but I was able to connect to a WPA network by editing /etc/network/interfaces. Now I just have to add wminput and xvkbd and change a few settings to makby q885 - Wii Linux
QuotegralcoWhy did you choose to create images for Dapper and Hardy, why not Edgy, Feisty, or Gutsy? That is a really good idea! I will test WPA support on Edgy, and if it doesn't work, try Feisty and if that doesn't work try Gutsy. I'm surprised at myself that I didn't think of it! Hopefully WPA will work on Edgy. And hopefully the virtual memory use will still be relby q885 - Wii Linux
I'm not sure if everybody's already seen this: http://fartersoft.com/blog/2011/08/17/debian-installer-for-wii/ I haven't tried it yet but it sounds really neat.by q885 - Wii Linux
Is it possible to save files to the FAT partition that the linux image is on? My friend is using his Wii as his only computer, so it'd be great if he could download things for use with homebrew applications onto the memory card. If it is not possible, is it possible to run Easy Wii Linux from a separate partition?by q885 - Wii Linux
When X crashes, you can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what the errors were. This is the xorg.conf that worked for me in both Debian and Ubuntu: Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "ddc" SubSection "extmod" Option "omit xfree86-dga" Option "omit XFree86-VidModeExtension" EndSubSection Load "freetype" Load "dri" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generby q885 - Wii Linux
Okay, I made a Hardy image, here. WPA works fine. The problem is that it's so slow. Now, I read online that it's possible to use WPA on Dapper. It just takes some configuring I think, and Network Manager. So you can try the Hardy image now if you want, and I'll work on getting WPA on Dapper. Edit: I should mention that I only tried connecting through Network Manager (therby q885 - Wii Linux
Okay, I tried Ubuntu Wii on my friend's network. It wouldn't connect. It said something about ioctl and an unsupported function. I'm thinking probably Dapper doesn't support WPA. I'm going to make a Hardy image and see if it works on there. I'll get back to you.by q885 - Wii Linux
Thank you for trying Ubuntu Wii! I think you are the first. Placing small panels below the top and bottom is very clever! You are right that there isn't much you can do with Ubuntu Wii without internet. So I will do everything I can to get yours working. Have you tried loading the wireless driver manually by typing "sudo ifup wlan0"? Have you also tried "sudo iwconfig"? Please sendby q885 - Wii Linux
Regular whiite does not come with a GUI. xwhiite does. But I can't think of any reason that you'd want to use either one anymore, now that there's Easy Wii Linux and Ubuntu Wii. Edit: I have since found out that there are many good reasons for choosing whiite. If you successfully installed whiite, than you can very easily install Ubuntu Wii by following the same steps, just cby q885 - Wii Linux

The current recommended way to install Ubuntu Wii is to use the Whiite Linux Installer. Thanks to Amy of 3dsbuzz for explaining how to do this. You will need an SD card with at least 3GB usable space (typically called a 4GB card or larger), but not more than 32GB (SDXC) since the Wii cannot read it. It will be formatted in the process, so be sure to make a backup if you have anything on it wby q885 - Wii Linux
Add the following lines to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf': Section "ServerFlags" Option "IgnoreABI" "True" EndSection Is it really true that you got OpenGL working? I didn't realize nuvalo's xf86-video-cube driver had that support! How exciting!by q885 - Wii Linux
Please try out my filesystem tar of Lubuntu on Karmic. Firefox takes a little while to load, but runs smoothly once it does. There are a number of bugs. Wiimote doesn't work. Sound doesn't work. There are many warnings upon boot, upon shutdown, and when changing to tty from X using F#. All the same I think it is quite usable so long as you have a usb mouse and usb keyboard.
