Getting help for Ubuntu Core?

**1fallen2** · 2 Weeks Ago

I finally got it. Here is how it lays out

Code:

Welcome to Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 6.5.0-44-generic x86_64)
 * Ubuntu Core:     https://www.ubuntu.com/core
 * Community:       https://forum.snapcraft.io
 * Snaps:           https://snapcraft.io

This Ubuntu Core 22 machine is a tiny, transactional edition of Ubuntu,
designed for appliances, firmware and fixed-function VMs.

If all the software you care about is available as snaps, you are in
the right place. If not, you will be more comfortable with classic
deb-based Ubuntu Server or Desktop, where you can mix snaps with
traditional debs. It's a brave new world here in Ubuntu Core!

Please see 'snap --help' for app installation and updates.

A couple of snapshots to view.

Thank you so much everyone, I'll give that a try too.

Meantime, i hope this desktop version can reach stable status as soon as possible, that would spare me quite a few headaches. ^__^

Just to help if needed I used an .img install found here: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/experimen...4-amd64.img.xz
Extracted the single .img file, then the fun part.
I had a blank 32Gig Drive so I burned that to that Drive, booted to it and let it install. Just be patient for the installer to finish.

There will be no GUI installer shown it takes care of that on it's own. But it will fill the entire drive. (Heads Up)

Yeah the .iso didn't work (got a blank screen) so I tried and successfully installed the usual .img file via Disk Writer.

I'm currently trying to finally have my user autologin (despite setting the option during the OS Setup phase, I still need to enter the password - this needs to be fixed) and let Remmina automatically run, but I'd say I'm in a definitely better state compared to two days ago.

If I were trying to do this, I'd start with TinyCore Linux (the version that includes Xorg) and add just the RDP client I wanted. Bet all that would fit in less than 64MB (yes, MB).
