While shell programs are literally a dime-a-dozen around the PlayStation Portable homebrew community, it doesn't stop them from becoming interesting finds for the more avid homebrew fan. This latest shell application was developed by Jack, entitled "Ubuntu 7.10 v0.1 beta.

The biggest selling point of this app is that it was filed under a GNU/linux software license, which any programmer can modify and redistribute under the terms of the licence. Ubuntu 7.10 v0.1 comes with its own set of handy features as well. Here's a list of its basic features:
  • Message anti-downloading ISO does appear that the first time you launch the HB
  • Boot (start and stop)
  • Login (user name and password)
  • Office and bar spots current (application shortcuts, system and stop)
  • Workstation
  • MS Explorer, supports files:
    • MP3, Ogg
    • PNG
    • PBP
  • You can launch a UMD through the workstation
  • You can start the internet browser
  • Changes in the following parameter: user name, password, speed of the mouse, or boot, time, screen background
Ubuntu 7.10 v0.1 beta features a plugin to autoboot itself after installation and was tested under custom firmware 3.90 M33.

For more information regarding the program's controls, you can read all about it on the documentation included in the file bundle. The program was written in French, so you may need to services of your favorite online translator.

 » Interesting

is it actually using part of the linux system or is it just a con replicate? otherwise it is still interesting, and maybe worth looking into

......

it's a shell.

which means it's either Lua or a web page. and since it can play music and run programs, it must be Lua.

 » Can't be a web page

It can't be if it can launch a UMD, It could be LUA but I don't know much about LUA, however it does not mention LUA anywhere in it.

 » Well it must be using Some of Ubuntu/Linux...

After all this OS is free you can order it from anywere u live and it set sail to your country free.

I got it 3 disk of this OS PASS it on

I tried to port this to the PSP using the OS virtually and using an Botsch Eboot that suppose to run linux or windows Virtual OS on the 1.50 PSP, since the new CFW have 1.50 CFW it should work....

But didn't...

I guess making a Lua Shell Application port is faster and easier, but is not the same OS, not even virtually

Well still is cool and gtreat...

I'm planning to install this Ubuntu OS for PC to my next Laptop :)

Works great and fast

Secure Too Secure I say lol

O well

I will kep trying to port the virtual Version of this UBUNTU using the Botsch Eboot or may be make a new Source eboot that runs it on the PSP...

Eventually when I start taking my C++ courses on colleage!

Thanks!

Cheers!

 » Translation

I'd love for someone to translate this into English, it looks like something I'd get a lot of use out of.

 » Not Ubuntu nor Linux

Guys, this is just a Lua shell with some Ubuntu clipart thrown on top of it. It doesn't use the Linux kernel, nor can it use any of the GNU software that makes up Ubuntu.

In short, it's just a shell with an Ubuntu-ish skin. You could just as easily replace the backgrounds with the default MS images and call it Vista.

 » As I suspected.

Unfortunately that applies to pretty much any shell but psix and irshell.

 » I doubt it...Damn Small Linux maybe?

Seeing as a full Ubuntu installation requires much more than the PSP can handle, I'm pretty sure the guys above who say it's a shell are right. Windows 95 is able to be ran on the PSP because it only requires 4 MB of RAM (Normal PSP has 32 MB RAM, Slim has 64MB), If Win95 runs, then that means Damn Small Linux probably could too, as it only takes up about 50MB, and uses about 16MB RAM. I don't know if the PSP's CPU can be used for it though, DSL needs a x86 processor, and I don't know if it is one, or if it's not.

Just a take.

 » lol

anytime you see the word "shell", disregard everything else around it as its only another lua/webpage deal =P


   Re: UltimaArmorX - 5 days ago
 » Yeah.

So when you run into that "shell", just crush it and keep browsing...

This POS soft bricked my system! I ran the shell, got to the login screen, and never could login, and when I exited, my system crashed, when it came back up, everything was in Chinese. I restarted the system, and all the settings where gone, i was back at the original setup screen. It lost my system name, wan settings everything, it completely dumped. Ever since I have not been able to get the cwcheat plugin to work (and no, cw was not on when I tried to run Ubuntu)

If crazyC can port dos that will run dos games, win 3.1, and win 95, why can't someone come out with a decent OS port, granted I'm no coder, but don't brick my sh... with bad code.

Also I ran the read me files through google translate, there really isn't much for instructions, but I have been using homebrew for quit sometime, so I don't question that it was installed properly.
