Installing Ubuntu in Samsung Smart TV natively

[sectroyer]

Okay it was a loooooooot of work but everything works now Just remember that setting correct date (to make certificates work correctly) will make all of you scheduled recordings become "invalid". You have to set them up manually since there is no way to fix it Also to make everything work correctly is best to first connect usb mouse and then usb keyboard. Accept both devices using remote and leave mouse pointer in the upper right corner. The cursor will not change so it's nice to have big white arrow Once I test it more I will release more detailed information

[sectroyer]

Okay it looks that you can disable (for TV itself) the mouse in one more way. Just choose "No" when the popup appears asking whether to use the mouse
EDIT:
You get much better performance using normal USB disk(more than 32GB ) instead of usb stick

[sectroyer]

You can use USB disk (with at least 4GB of free space) with any format and everything is done on the TV itself.

Here are the steps to have fully working Ubuntu on E series:

• * Okay before playing around with this it's best to apply this fix: Fixing SamyGO telnet/SSH/SCP/bash on C/D/E/F series
  * It's also good idea to put in some init script these lines:

Code: Select all

    echo "Remounting usb devices:"
    for i in /dtv/usb/sd*; do
         echo "$i";
         mount -o remount,exec "$i"
    done

• * Copy attached ubuntu_xfs.tar.gz file to some usb disk (any format is good) that has at least 4GB of free space.
  * Unpack attached file using this command:

Code: Select all

tar -zxf ubuntu_xfs.tar.gz 

• * Then just cd to to ubuntu_xfs directory and run this command:

Code: Select all

/bin/sh ./ubuntu.sh

• * The script sets everything up automatically (it takes about 5 hours to finish). You use the same command to chroot to your ubuntu system.
  * Finally launch gnome using:

Code: Select all

gnome-session

Post your results and suggestions

To fix the issue with certificates (wrong date) uncomment from init.sh script this line:

Code: Select all

    #ntpdate -s ntp.ubuntu.com

Just be aware that it will invalidate your recordings list It may also cause other issues

Is possibile to test this on c series arm v7?
My tv is c6600? I know that this tv use xfs file system for recordings. But i don't know what Kerberos it has 2.6.8 i think

Wasn't tested on C You will have figure it out by yourself

[whvmarius]

Tested on my E and it works, but I use LXDE Desktop.
And I was able to compile a few apps (for example infread) direct on TV and mount a FTP-Share.

But the automatic install-script doesn't work for me. With a little bit of work, now ubuntu starts automatic and hidden.
I use libnotify to send notifications to my TV from my Home-automation-system.

[juusso]

Maybe some howto from your experience. What exact is needed to change?

[whvmarius]

I had made my own installation-script, but I deleted it recently. Maybe I write it new.
I installed not the ubuntu-desktop,only the lxde-core and libnotify.

Maybe my autostart script helps, but it is very messy and easy:

I insert it in the 99_99_z_sendinfo.init file.

When someone can make this better, I would be happy about it

The mount of an FTP Server made I with the package curlftpfs. But this worked on my TV only with this before the mount:

Code: Select all

mkdir /tmp/dev
cp -r /dev/* /tmp/dev/
mount -o bind /tmp/dev/ /dev/

I don't know why, but it worked.

ah, I found my installation-script, but some commands are not ready, but i think it should work. They are only notes for me for copy and paste. I've made an arrow where commands missing:
