PS3 with Ubuntu and WIFI

[95Helghast]

please tell me how i installed ubuntu 7.04 on my ps3 everything is perfect expect i don't have wifi

[AlvinJue]

hey could you tell me how to get the wifi working on ubuntu 9.04? thanks man!

[lilcojack208288]

kool tv entertainment system! 5/5!

[YbEdNa]

is it possible to delete ubuntu again and get back to the normal PS3 system? :)

[MyLegendarySelf]

Is this better than Yellow Dog?

[jtarashuck]

I actually have YDL installed on it at the moment.. I wanted to try it out then read a bunch of things broke in Ubuntu as they upgraded to newer versions, including wireless. There are instructions for how to get it working but I'm too lazy to put Ubuntu back on. One thing I will say is it is much easier to install apps in Ubuntu than YDL and YDL will charge you for some things like certain codecs. I will put Ubuntu back on when I get a chance but I'm in no rush.

[wststechnology]

wifi work in suse 11.1

[EvilEwok]

Tried running Wine yet?

[Davetheant]

uhh i believe sony disabled wifi use.. anyone found a fix for that? (the kernel update crashed my ubuntu so i re-installed)

[gsharpshooter80]

GRRRR i cant freaken setup the right res for this crap my tv is 1024x768 and right now its like 1280x10 something

[Necronomic1]

Doesn't look like a 60"?

[jayndev]

that is NOT a 60 inch

[casio1987vd]

its not a 40 inch indeed. Compare the ps3 to the tv, it looks like 40, which I own too.

[jtarashuck]

if you're referring to the writing on the green blanket on my coffee table, that belonged to my ex-gf and was a dos equis blanket (beer)

[phiktion]

your all noobs~

[scadutomd564]

i have been searching for 4 hours straight and i cannot find the program wifi radar for ubuntu for ps3...will please someone help me!!!!!!

[So9cph]

Is it even possible to make Ubuntu 7.10 running on a PS3 with firmware greater than 2.00 ??

If it is can someone please link to some documentation..

[So9cph]

Sorry, I mean with a working WIFI setup..

[69underscore69]

I tried and failed.

Installed 7.10 and could not make WIFI work. Possibly due to noobness though.

[patriotsboy26]

ya boyy

[elmosher2fight]

hey can you make a video on how to get the wifi up and runing with the new kernel and every thing im get confussed with all the codes i need help realy bad

[poooopnat]

btw just to make life easier for you, you do realise that u can turn on a ps3 with controller

[ninjikiran]

doesnt work when linux is set as default OS far as I know.

[mojomiguel]

i got the same tv

[GameProgramer95]

piracy = viruses if you don't know what your doing. So think of it like this. Pirate games and know nothing = lose all your money because hacker has visa cards... or... buy game from store = 60 bucks is gone, but you don't have to go through bankruptcy and depression.. I choose buying the game.

[kapoweykidd]

This isn't piracy?

Linux is free..

[hobomchobo4]

How is this piracy? Ubuntu Linux is open-source software and the OS is unable to boot ps3/ps2 backups. The ps3 has a option that allows the ps3 owner to boot an OS on their ps3 with no hacks.

[neonyirenda962]

ur ignorance is hilarious

[psp12345678998765432]

u moron unbuntu is a open source linux os

[dominicababy]

help i have a problem seting up wireles conection on my ps3 with ubuntu linux

[Mohammed2005]

Thanx but i can't read what you write in the box ! can yiu tell me plaease

[alistair9l]

weird coincidence the vid i 7:04 and he's installing ubuntu 7.04

[nephersir7]

that is not a 60' LCD

[moscowremix]

who said its lcd?

it says its a sxrd which are projection

[razis]

can ubuntu use the wired connection on ps3?

[AlienSpotTeam]

Of course

[1liam192]

what do you think to yellow dog linux?

[karambiatos]

still cant play pirated games though

like on the 360 or ps2

[LedahX]

Why would one want to pirate PS3 games? I could sorta justify piracy if the games were bad or if they were selling a crapload already, but the PS3 really needs some support.

[karambiatos]

because there isnt a game worth buying original

on the ps3 and im not just talking about the exclusives

but there is only COD4

[dasindaniel]

THE ONLY Game I am lookin forward to is MGS4 There is not a single game other that that I would want to own for the PS3. All the others i use on 360. We basically bought ps3 for blu-ray... looks nice on 52in bravia xbr5 :D

[karambiatos]

nah im saying on 360 i would only buy halo3

and on the ps3 maybe ratchet & clanck

but there are great games that are worth buying coming out like GTA4 mercenaries2

MGS4, new splinter cell BF bad company

im talking about both systems there still isnt a game where you will say im glad i spend that money

[Amebixfan]

There are lots of xbox games that come out for PC

if you install linux on your ps3, and use wine, you can basically run those games.

/lolpwnt bitch

[darklouis666]

dude wine is not a windows emulator

and it CANT run on a ps3 due to the different architecture

ps3 = wierd powerpc based cpu called ''cell BE''

ordinary pc = X86 or x86-64

[ryankffx]

there is actually a way to get the games to run, you can lituratly create a virtual cpu, so make the os think its running x86 as apose to cell, but the only problem is the ps3 is majorly lacking on ram and running linux wine and windows is overkill

[Cyberdyne12]

wine is a windows emulator dumbass, I use it all the time. for Steam, Ventrilo, Project64 ext.

[leusch13]

ok wine does run windows programs but what he is pointing out is that wine actually stands for "wine is not an emulator". even though it pretty much is an emulator. kinda like gnu stands for "gnu is not unix", even though it's a unix based system

[TheRoflCop]

retard.

[lacosamutante3]

UEAHH!!!

[daniellagodzki]

cool video man, i just installed it myself, cant seem to get the full screen though, or good res, i have a 40' LCD runs at 1080i. how do you get the full screen and res daniel

[jtarashuck]

check out psubuntu dot com

[daniellagodzki]

yeah i did, but i'm new to unbuntu and havent got a clue.

[YoungAndBall1n]

what are the advantages of running on other os's

[jtarashuck]

advantages for having a linux box with a tv for your monitor? i don't think i need to answer that

[7aji88]

I think being able to run VLC player is enough because you will be able to play any video file you want. also all the other great Linux apps

[VNM07]

did u hav to install YDL before hand and then install ubuntu or did u install ubuntu from scratch, im thinking of doing this on my 60" is it slow or does it run smoothly??

[jtarashuck]

check out psubuntu dot com

[calumsworld]

Bullshit do some PS3s not have have wifi, they all do.

[RHESTA]

20GB PS3's do not have wi-fi.

Wired ethernet connection is better anyhow, faster than wi-fi.

[LLCoolPass]

a)that's not 60"

b)awesome

[jtarashuck]

actually it is 60" but you don't own it so you wouldn't know. i'll probably post more in the future, next time i'll show and be sure to measure with tape just for you

[nerdmal]

wow that sure is not a 60" tv. My 56" is alot bigger in width to let u know now thickness because it is thicker. Oh and also my friends had a 60" tv and it was at least 15 ps3s long add or take a few.

[gsharpshooter80]

i have an ubuntu disk that my friend got for free agev me to me to kee but im not sure how to instalk it on a ps3

[Mrbadboy333]

dude ubuntu is free and PLEASE learn to spell we cant understand what the fuck your trying to say

[sanderswerts]

how did you get the wifi working?

[kobraoncrack]

can i play maplestory or sometin on it?????

[dragryffen]

can i get wifi just by creating a ps3 online acc? or do i have to buy something special before... all i have is a ps3 strait out of the box and motor storm, can i go strait online without having to get a wifi router or something?

[jtarashuck]

you need to at least have a wifi connection available, whether it's your own or you're stealing a neighbor's. then you need to have the premium edition of the ps3 which includes the wifi card, otherwise you need to plug in with an ethernet cable. i have heard that sony has made some changes so the regular ps3's might come with wifi now, i don't know.

[dragryffen]

would that require me buying some sort of reciever or something or is it like radio and is just distributed for anyone to have?

[jtarashuck]

you need a wifi router and an internet connection. make sure your ps3 has a wifi card, some don't.

[dragryffen]

I have a 60 gig, those are supposed to have wireless cards

[SnakedSnake]

you should have used microsoft keyboards :D ^^ would've been funny, running linux on sonys PS3 using microsofts keyboard and mouse :P

[chungdorifto]

Wifi? How? im a pro with linux and have no idea how to get wifi on PS3 ubuntu. also i have a graphical boot up so it doesn't have the text start up like seen in this video on my PS3 :D

[TheDaimler]

Do you need an HDTV for Ubuntu or can you use a regular tv?

[discjockykid]

You can use a regular TV, I just installed it using like a 20" SD tv imo. Just rememver that you can move the windows around by holding alt + left mouse button so you can see everything because on an SD TV the windows will be off the screen

[rossc12345]

how did you connect to wireless did you just use iwconfig or did u use annother program. if you used another program what one did you use?

[UnderAchieversUnited]

Nice TV!

[saeid8]

what if it messes my ps3 ?

[jtarashuck]

it can't. worse case scenario you mess up your install and kboot doesn't load properly. in this case you would just do a factory reset for your ps3 if you couldn't figure out how to manually fix it. google for it or look in the manual.

[lowikuken]

this is very cool man 10/10

[DistortedDingo]

Im think of gettn a ps3 as my PC. Does ubuntu run pc games well like hl2, Company of Heros, etc? reply soon. THNX

[jtarashuck]

I'm not much of a gamer but i know there are different applications that can assist you with getting games to work in linux. just google for cedega, wine, and transgaming.

[zettabit]

Nah, it does not run Games via Cedega, because the ps3 is a PPC based chip and sony restricts access to the RSX (graphicss card for the PS3.) IT is near impossible to run pc games through linux. But I do not know about PPC based linux games (if there any out there) but your best chance is emulators. Snes, megadrive, mame etc.

[mazdafire]

No (halo 2 vista only) and only have 256mb of ram with "other OS" for PS3.

[Juicetin19]

Linux can utilize memory cards as ram. You could also use "Wine" or "Cedega" to play Halo as long as Ubuntu is optimized to utilize the RSX.

[traxdomeNL]

iv just bought that same keyboard for ubunutu ^^

[jtarashuck]

"i started out by going to psubuntu dot com. you should be able to figure it out from there." as i stated earlier. there are links that already have this explained.

[cesarjhon626]

How does your linux start so fast? Also do u have a way to tell me how to make mine wireless too?

[jtarashuck]

i started out by going to psubuntu dot com. you should be able to figure it out from there. as far as the speed goes, everything is slow the first time starting up, including the first time you launch applications. after that it should run fine. keep in mind you need the premium ps3 for wifi as the standard package does not include it. you may be able to plugin a usb wireless adapter if you have a standard ps3

[cesarjhon626]

whats a preminum ps3? 60 gig?

[jtarashuck]

yep

[cesarjhon626]

ok. can u type up a step by step so i can get wireless too?
