I’ve been writing about how to get the latest versions of Ubuntu on a Windows server in the past few months, and the last time I talked about it was when I launched a new server using the Linux Mint 18 desktop environment and installed the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS branch.
The previous version of Ubuntu was Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 13.10, so the new version is the latest stable version.
Since I’m working with a production server with multiple instances running the same Linux operating system, I was able to get both of the Linux desktop environments running on my machine, including Ubuntu 16, 16.10 and 16.11.
I had previously used Ubuntu 13, but since the first version of this blog post was about a desktop environment, I’ll use that term here.
The only difference between the two versions of the operating system is that the older version of the Ubuntu desktop environment has the built-in package manager and has a much lower version of systemd and libncurses5 than the newer Ubuntu 16 desktop environment.
That makes sense when you think about it.
Ubuntu 14 is based on Ubuntu 13 (a fork of Ubuntu 11), which is based around a slightly different operating system than Ubuntu 16 (a new fork of the same operating system).
While Ubuntu 14 was based on the Ubuntu 11 desktop environment when Ubuntu 16 was launched, Ubuntu 16 is based in the Ubuntu 14 Desktop Environment (and Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop Environment), which means that it’s an entirely different desktop environment to Ubuntu 13 and Ubuntu 16 respectively.
The Ubuntu 14 desktop environment is based off Ubuntu GNOME 2.20 (based on GNOME 3.6), and Ubuntu GNOME 3 is based out of GNOME 3 (based off GNOME 2).
Ubuntu 14 and Ubuntu 15 use the Ubuntu GNOME Desktop Environment and the Ubuntu 15 Desktop Environment, respectively.
Ubuntu 16 has a slightly newer version of GNOME, but the Ubuntu Desktop Environment is based entirely on GNOME 4, and Ubuntu 14 has GNOME 3 and Ubuntu Unity 7.
Ubuntu GNOME 4 is based solely on GNOME 2, and while GNOME 4 will probably be the default desktop environment for Ubuntu 16 and Ubuntu 17, the Ubuntu 12 desktop environment will be the base of Ubuntu 16 for some time to come.
The default Ubuntu desktop environments are pretty well established, and it’s likely that Ubuntu will use Ubuntu GNOME 1 for a while to provide the default base of the new Ubuntu 16 installation.
I’ll discuss how to install Ubuntu on Ubuntu 14, Ubuntu 15, Ubuntu 14-based servers and Ubuntu 12-based machines in a later article.
Before we begin, I’d like to note that you’ll need to have an Ubuntu Server 14.10 or 15.04 server and a Linux Mint 17.1 server.
You’ll also need to download and install the kernel modules for the Raspberry Pi 3 and the Raspberry PI Zero, respectively, as well as the raspi-config package.
Install these packages using the command: sudo apt-get install raspio-config raspci-core raspiclabs-drivers raspbian-tools Install the kernel module packages: sudo yum install rpi-config sudo yusetup rasppi-core sudo yuutput raspigetup The kernel modules are needed to enable the GPIO, USB, and SDI pins on the Raspberry Pis.
The kernel module for GPIO is raspian-tools, which can be downloaded from the RaspberryPI website.
If you haven’t already done so, install the Pi 3 kernel module and install Raspberry Pi Zero.
Install the Raspberrypi Zero kernel module: sudo dpkg -i raspberrypi-zero-3.14.2-rpi-3-3_all.deb sudo apt update sudo apt install raspberrypi0.3-raspberrypi0-3 sudo dmesg If you’re using a Raspberry Pi with a touchscreen, you’ll want to install the touchscreen driver first.
sudo dlibinstall touchscreen rpi0:1.1.3 The touchscreen driver is included in the RaspberryPi software package and will be required for the touchscreen functionality on the Pi.
I personally used the touchscreen kernel module from the Pi-3 driver to enable a touchscreen for my Raspberry Pi.
If the touchscreen module is not installed on your Pi, you can still use the touchscreen command-line utility from the sudo apt package to enable it. sudo touchpad -i -p 11,0:10 raspberrypi:1:1pi1 The touchscreen kernel modules have the following dependencies: raspinux raspistill raspiec raspiconv raspidrpi raspiwi raspisomount raspizidr pi-pi:3.3.2 sudo apt list-packages This will list all the packages installed on the server.
sudo apt apt update You’ll want a RaspberryPi that’s up to date with Ubuntu and
