Ubuntu 14.04 on a Raspberry Pi 2

I'm using Ryan Finnie's

unofficial Ubuntu image

I'll put a link in the description to this website this page where you can

download this image.

I essentially downloaded the image and wrote it to a micro SD card

I'm using a Sony 64 gigabyte micro SD card

and it's not a super fast card so I don't know of a faster card would make a

difference or not.

Once I downloaded it I a

pretty much went through the steps on Ryan's

page for resizing a partition installing swap

file and then installing those Xubuntu desktop

and that actually took a long time to download and install all those packages

I mean hours but I didn't

I didn't need to stand next to it I just start it and then walked away

so, once you do that you reboot it will

who into this environment and right now I'm actually

on the Raspberry Pi 2 using Firefox and I'll

open another tab and open up the raspberrypi.org

page

And I'm not speeding this video up, this is all real time

This is not an optimized graphical environment, I think that best use for this

would be to run server applications for instance I'm running

Myth Backend on this as a test and if you're interested in doing that I have a

tutorial on installing Myth Backend on an IntelNUC

which I'll link to in the description and you can actually follow

pretty much the same steps to do it on the Raspberry Pi

performance isn't great but it does work

I you may want to optimize it or

do things like that I'm not sure how to overclock this system

but what I'll do now is I'll

reboot the machine see how fast it goes

With my tutorial on the Myth Backend you

pretty much more to go through the tutorial up to installing and

configuring Myth Backend

on the Raspberry Pi 2 and then use a separate Raspberry Pi

to install Kodi as a front-end so you're not running it all

one machine

so since I installed a graphical environment this is going to boot

into the graphical environment

when you first install it boots into the command line and it actually does that

rather quickly. Okay we're booted so now we'll go to the menu you can see it

takes a little while to load this

Then we can open up web browser Firefox

as you can see it takes a while for this to load so my main reason for making

this video is so people can see

pretty much what this runs like before they spend their time doing it

themselves so they can tell if they want to do this

on their on Raspberry Pi and it's still loading

I'm going to try loading this again

There we go

okay, well, if you have any questions about my experience with this, please leave

them in the comments

and a please visit Ryan's website and if you wanna see about that Myth

Backend tutorial I'll link those two things in description
