For various reasons I have decided that it would be helpful to use my PS3 as a backup computer for homework and basic word processing.
I looked up some instructions on installing Ubuntu on the PS3 and followed them exactly. I'm using the PS3 port, I put it on a clean disk, I already partitioned and installed the OS (by that I mean, I used the install other OS function on the XMB) When I run the OS it brings me to the live CD with the penguins, but after I hit enter, the screen just goes black. Occasionally it has given me the initramfs screen, but only sometimes.
I also noticed, on the first screen, before I hit enter there is a "ps3av_send_cmd_pkt" error.
I have looked all over google for a fix, but have found little help. I am using the Power PC port to PS3 of 9.10.
Thanks!
