  • I have a tutorial for X-dsl on xbox, but I haven't gotten xubuntu to work yet. My xbox takes a dump when I try to boot into xubuntu .

  • I just can't believe it. Xbox users, don't be offended, but Xbox's Hardware is crap. However, it has the most awsome games. How come my computer with a quad-core i5 and radeon gpu is nowhere near. Even if the xbox gpu is fast, i see now way how the cpu can keep up., so @devilanshuman, You wouldn't be able to play games with such a wek processor.

  • The xbox 360's all have a 3GHz tri-core PPC CPU so those saying celeron are all wrong

  • @TheCJGCJG Well then it makes more sense.

  • INSTALL WINDOWS XP AND THEN ILL BE IMPRESSED

  • @hifeyracer XP/WINDOWS IS JUNK!!! HERE IS WINDOWS AT ITS BEST watch?v=TGLhuF3L48U.

  • we can play minecraft on xbox!

  • @VGMoney

    im planing on making my xbox a private minecraft server :P:D

  • @habieru84

    No, the xbox was based on powerpc x86.

    Protip. Go with PC, cause at least then, you can run x64 on it, and get more than .5gb of ram

  • xbox making crap for 30 years

  • @fuzzyclam69 are you stupid? the xbox 360 is amazing. MW3 FTW

  • that is amazing; you had straight downloaded xbuntu or did you install?

    

  • "the pro xbox and pc hacker"... lol... "look at me, i put a live disk in my xbox and run linux"... WOOOOW

  • @schillyschote85

    despite the immature sarcasm some of us actually have Linux installed not run from a live disk and from the comment i can assume u know how to do either option

  • Can someone tell me what is the point of doing this

  • @ReaverMMA The point is that you will be able to install a modern OS on outdated hardware. This means the user can use the xbox as a file server, webserver, firewall, router, security system or anything else that crosses his mind. The useless old machine is becoming useful again. Not much good for the non-technical, but for anyone who is technical it's always nice to have some extra firepower lying around.

  • does that means ...one can run pc games on an xbox??

  • @devilanshuman thats what i want to know! lol

  • @devilanshuman thats what i want to know! starcraft? maybe? lol i hope!

  • @devilanshuman .....linux is not pc in any way shape or form

  • @wink2tall actually the Xbox is in a way a computer of sorts it runs on windows which is why much of this is possible

  • @jaykayb33

    The XBox is a computer, with a motherboard, hard drive, a bios* and a proccessor using power pc architecture.

    As with any turing complete computer, it can run any operating system. The only problem is the bios chip prevents the device from running unsigned code, so it must be replaced, or exploited with a softmod.

  • @ingloable The original xbox uses a 733mhz intel celeron wich is a standard x86 cpu.

  • @devilanshuman no linux supports almost no game in existense

  • @TheBic4 I really hope you're kidding. I can easily play WoW, Quake, Doom, and as far as I know many/all of the Call of Duty series can be played on Linux. 'No gaming on Linux' is like saying 'Windows always gets viruses', an inaccurate stereotype.

  • @TehSchwartz Windows does always get viruses though :) lol, and you can't get conficker on a linux

  • @TheBic4

    That's bs. Plenty of people are playing games... Some work and some don't, but alot works. In fact I regularly play many of my old games using dosbox on Linux. I have Linux and also a 360 and between them my gaming needs are met. However I do also have a life ;-)

  • @devilanshuman no it will not have enough power trust me

  • @devilanshuman It probably can but the internals suck so probably not

  • @devilanshuman no...

  • Can i run Ultrastar for Linux on the xbox?

  • niezłe :))

  • how well do drivers and games work inside of linux and after you get linux can you stil play xbox games??

  • the xbox have an intel pentium III or a celeron

    i read somewhere that it have a penium III

  • @xeonhl2: PPC...

  • @smartarted

    No, it's a celeron processor. The 360 is the one with the PPC processor.

  • @xeonhl2 it's a celeron based on the pentium III structure. celeron just means that it's a pentium without as much cache. it's still not terrible, i only kept mine around to lan with my 360 to play halo 2, but now i'll probably use it as a server.

  • i just read about dis on a fourm do u need to kno liek fuck loads of codin to use linux coz i dotn dont kno shit bout codin all i kno is hardware

  • i got mine running dynebolic, but do i have to have a mouse and keyboard?

  • im turning an old xbox i found in to a webserver! this is why you don't throw away old games console hardware!

  • burn xbox iso with k3b ! its so easy!!

    xbox spiele brennt man mit k3b ! ganz einfach

    hab es gestern gemacht

  • Nice way to make an xbox useful (im gonna do this one day!

  • I'd like some help with this, add my e-mail

    turtle_man123 at hotmail . com

    if you didn't use MechAssault to do this, then don't bother trying to help, just respond anyway, ok?

  • Takes a long ass time to boot up... Not worth it, well thats my opinion.

  • i cant run xubuntu it freeze on start with black screen =(

  • the ultimate insult to mircosoft ,lol , nice work soft modding

  • the only drawback for all these distros is that the need to sacrifice features because some idiod at M4 had the idea of soldering the RAM instead of having a regular bank. And that's the only reason we're not all having a bunch of Xboxes at $40 a pop from eBay running all kinds of things. Redmond fags were afraid to cause some competition so they crippled the poor xbox.

  • will i be able to play xbox games?

  • can i run xdebian or xubuntu off of a live cd or as an app? i link to a tutorial would be appreciated.

  • Whats the song? PM me.

    Considering buying a refurbished Xbox to do this. =D

  • Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside.

  • It Always takes a little while even when booting on a normal PC. its checking the devices and getting them ready. You can in theory since its always doing hardware checks reuse the HDD inanother PC without worying about driver issues *sometimes* ill be using this video for a reffrence, Thanks Matthacker.

  • is there any sound on the xbox linux.

  • Yep, full surround sound using alsa.

  • are you serious

  • i takes like a vista pc loading time

  • I'm sorry, your grammar is SHIT. Can you repeat that please?

  • His grammar may be bad but he makes a good point, Vista is shit. And yeah it will take a bit to boot because it is running on 64mb ram and a .7GH processor

  • Vista isnt shit. Its the computer that cant run Vista smoothly that is shit.

  • If vista is so good, why are you looking at videos of linux running on an xbox? Oh ya, cause an xbox running linux is still better than windoze vista?

  • :S wtf?

  • What don't you understand?

  • nowt its this argument its pointless

  • Vista is shit. If a computer can't run Vista smoothly and can do XP perfectly, that's a sign of an unoptimized OS right there.

    Programming is all about optimization, not a competition to bloat memory with useless stuff like Microsoft seems to think.

  • finally someone making some sense I would switch over to linux if it weren't for gaming

  • o ya sumthing that takes 2 gigs of ram and cant play MOst first person shooters does suck in opion and its slow as fuck

  • these dont take 2 gb of ram hell they dont even use one gig. mine right now is sittting on 64 mb///

  • I get a black screen after installing?

    Do you know why?

  • what is the point of this you ask? isnt it obvious? you can turn your xbox into a pc that can access on the net and connect to any TV.

  • linux is an os like windows xp or mac os x

  • good song

  • Is the extra ram necessary? I will eventually get more ram but have to wait to be able to afford it.

    James

  • can linux play pc games? ive always wanted to try tomb raider anniversary on xbox 1

  • do u need chiped xbox for the iso to work?

  • Yeah you have to have it chipped or you can do the less risky thing and softmod your xbox.

  • yes, or softmodded

  • Whats this song? Nice mod can I do it on my Wii?

  • Song=Otherside by The Red Hot Chili Peppers

    Wii=you cant do this on a wii to my knowlege

  • Thanks. You actually can run Linux on the Wii. You have to use this exploit in Zelda.

  • better known as the twilight princess hack

  • could u download a ps2 emulator on it

  • no, only psone

  • I would do this my my dumb xbox 1 doesnt recognize any disk not even brand new games. But i have a xboo 360 know so i dont know what i should do with my dumb xbox 1.

  • u could send it to me

  • xbmc?

  • i'll do that ! i've an old xbox and Xubuntu on ISO :D

  • yeah if anyone wants to try you'll have to cut up an xbox controller and usb extension, but it's pretty easy.

  • Don't you need 192MB for Xubuntu? Or is this adapted for 64MB.

  • Not for Xubntu because the hole reason its called Xubuntu is because its for Xbox normaly its just ubuntu so yes i would asume its adapted.

  • Well, there is a Xubuntu with Xfce.

  • No, its called Xbuntu because it is Ubuntu using an XFCE desktop.

  • what song is that

  • Other Side by the Chili Peppers, I think...

  • congratulations  you win the prize

  • WUT IZ IT!?

  • 2 millon $

  • ¬_¬ Linux on Xbox, huh? Not bad...

  • Yeah looks pretty good, im still seriously new to modding, but you would never believe how much i have wingged this so far, lmfao. I have installed a larger hardrive, used gamesave exploit etc and still dont understand a word of what i have accomplished ahh well thats life! lol

  • lol

  • can u plz help me, i have a working disk of x-dsl but my controller isnt getting picked up and i tried 3 other controllers and all the port can u plz help me and whats the name of this song?

    thanks

  • lol true

  • I'm a bit confused, is this "X-Box Ubuntu", or "Xubuntu", the xfce version of Ubuntu?

  • uhh...linux kinda makes the world go round, dude.

  • Coming from a name dumber than donut...

  • Windows is lame, but you don't see the noob complaining.

  • I own an Xbox 360, and it only scratched one disk, but that's because my idiot friend stuck it in a closed cabinet and it overheated.

    But yes the original Xbox DOES suck... Don't think you can run linux on the 360 though...

  • try to get your sh*t ps2 to run a better operating system, whats that, no hard drive, well im sorry!

  • Exactly, long live the xbox!

  • I will admit that the ps2 is and allways be the console that kicked off games on the mass scale, but the xbox was the most advanced console of its time

  • ps2 sucked and always will suck.

  • @kn1995 thats true except there was an official release of linux for the ps2 and it run laglesly

  • Actually PS2 can run linux. Nice job sounding like an uninformed asshole.

  • does xubuntu let you use a virtual keyboard and mouse or do you have to have a usb kb and mouse to use it?

  • Can you play normal xbox games when you put in linux on it ?

  • yes you can. however, if you're gonna install you can choose between installing it to the whole disk and whipe out all your data or you can choose to install it on a single partition. some distros like xdsl also enable you to frugal install or loopback install to run it from just a few files on the same partition as your dash

  • are you using Xbox v1.6 and if so how did you get it to stay on the entire screen? (it meaning the ubuntu desktop)

  • where do u get xbox linux plz write back and nice vid!

    =D thx _JAZA_

  • It's called READING THE DESCRIPTION RETARD.

  • lol sweet but do u need a modchip so the xbox can read the disk its written to?

  • uhh anyone know if you can use a smartjoy frag adapter for xbox linux? j/w cause im getting it in a few days

  • i dont like xbox but i like this

  • lol some of these people saying how dumb this is but yet there watching it and they even take there time to make a comment so whos the one with no lives?

  • people need to fuC$ off if you dont like it dont watch you are probley to stupid to do it your self

  • Why do people put music to these video clips?, it's so annoying

  • Well if there wasn't there wouldn't be any sound.

  • hey i bet your balls r still raisons and i bet you cant even whack off so shut the FUCK up and if you dont like it then dont watch it

  • do u realize another "fuckin geek" made windows,called Bill Gates and was arrested for driving without licence? hows that?but I guess you are too stupid to even know that, retard

  • Ok? So no one is perfect? wow what a surprise that was...Anyways, no matter whatever else they did besides computers, if it wasn't for Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Linus Torvalds, or anyone else who is good with computers, the world would not be as technologically advanced as it is now.

  • haha, the fact that you know and understand a phrase like "recompile your kernel" shows that you've atleast dabbled with linux, grow up

  • stupid the name of the song is otherside

  • hey im having trouble downgrading my dash. can you help? pm please.

  • would a normal Fedora Core 6 Live DVD work the same way?

  • You guys are idiots for one thing. 2 you can run linux on the xbox and on xbox360. You dont have to chip them or anything. They are launched with a default.xbe file. Ever heard of porting? So you all are saying theres no way huh? Your retarded, the ipod can run a linux port, and your saying an xbox cant. Dont open your mouth if you dont know what your talking about.

  • The xbox used a standard x86 celeron processor, 64 megs of ram, and a tiny hardrive. no porting was required as there is already an existing "port" of the linux kernel for this architecture. but you cant just run an xbe executable whenever you feel like it, you need some way of executing it and the xbox cant natively run unsigned code. either a modchip or a softmod hack is required.

    xbox360 is an entirely different type of hardware.

  • josh18230, i highly doubt you know what your talking about. The xbox 360's tri-core architecture has yet to be reverse engineered (or at least fully anyway), thats why theres no Linux on it... yet.

  • this is NOT the 360, its the original xbox.

  • too bad it takes so long to load

  • you should use Xebian 1.0.0.4, its way faster(when its loaded, booting is still alittle slow) and pretty much the same, ubuntu linux is a newly coded kernel for the xbox.

  • I agree on that.

  • whats the name of the song ?

  • you can run windows 98 via linux, FAIRLY FAST TOO.

  • why? why would you ruin linux with fuckin windows???

  • because some servers run on windows only not linux. People use this as a mini server. Plus many people like windows.

  • damn that's slow. and people complain about ps3 with linux.

  • only slow because it was the first time loading

  • Slow

  • nice video... but it's really really slow man.

  • To vampman67, why would you need more to run linux? Linux is a low-demanding operating system, and requires almost nothing to run. 64MB of Ram and an 8-10GB hard drive (xbox specs) is enough. DId you not witness it in this video?

  • Boots a bit slow. I swear that the xbox had a ppc cpu.

  • microsoft used off the shelf parts to build the xbox. The prototypes used AMD chips but...it was intel who made all this happen :D Microsoft careless left the A20 Gate wide open, along with a few backdoors.

  • Dude...

    You might want to open your Xbox.

    It's pointless to install Linux unless you install a new harddrive and give it some more memory and RAM.

  • the song was the best part....the ownly

  • slow as shit!

  • linux is slow as shit

  • That's the ONLY way ID use an XBOX

  • uerra doesnt firefox crash on xubuntu without extra ram ....cant

    remember how you do it but its like virtual ram for the xbox to get it to work right?...btw i used ubuntu on pc to type this :))

    (but still xp dual boot for dx9 support lolz...)

  • how do u do this (how do u use the installer cus im using splinter cell and when i copy the linux profile an d run it it says im doing something wrong but idk what it is do u have to copy comething else message me for a full tutorial plz)

  • kinda random, but what song is this?

  • red hot chili peppers-otherside

  • awesome thanks man :)

  • "sweet but, will there be glitches with finding the hardrives when saving games?" no. "uh, mouse/keyboard? idk if xbox comes has one, i dont own an xbox." yes, usb or usb to ps/2 adapter. "ok cool, so i can have linux on my xbox and still play my xbox games." yep.
