Okay so yeah I do shit on Ubuntu a bit here, especially in the second half. I was pretty annoyed by this point. Both the documentation and the image being half-baked was a huge pain, and honestly they seem to be alienating a lot of people recently. That being said, I do acknowledge the good that they have done for the Linux community, and I was also an avid fan/user until maybe 10.04.
The new ethernet modules I was showing: https://shop.plati.ma/products/10-100mbps-ethernet-board-for-milk-v-duo-and-luckfox-pico
(Video coming Friday 7th… I hope)
I also acknowledge that I keep making some common mistakes;
– I say RISC-Vee instead of RISC-Five. Just because I usually read it as I see it
– I was just recording in OBS from the raw HDMI feed this time, hence accidentally leaving the zebra stripes in
– I had no shirt to clip my mic to in the second half, hence the slight echo
My bad!

Ubuntu runs on the Milk-V Duo 256 too.

One thing I would try in that situation is try creating an initrd / initramfs in the boot partition along side the kernel image
then if the kernel can find it / load it, set that up with a small busybox shell inside that so you've got a sort of pre boot shell to work with (before the root partition is loaded)
that might allow you do do things like ls /dev/ to get an idea as to what device blocks are available / what the root partition might be visible as
Anyone that flips off canonical in their videos gets a sub from me.
Haha, yep it is fantastic you can get superbly well made boards that don't work shipped in no time. I got some boards recently, that after I populated, produced magic smoke from not just one, but two chips at the same time.
I should add, they made the board exactly how I designed it. No fault of theirs.
Congrats. Ubuntu is nice because there are a lot of ppas… And the LTS versions are supported by many third party applications.
I almost left work early the other day when I saw the headline, I was so excited to give this a crack on my mars CM, sooo exciting!
My swear-fest this weekend was caused by trying out FreeBSD again for the first time in over 20 years. Yep, the install and configuration process is just as primitive now as it was then. Having to edit text files to get things working shows why Linux distributions were so widely adopted. In FreeBSD's defence, at least the documentation is plentiful and accurate.
I cant get any of these milkv mars in the EU. Or any of their products that i want. 😢
the first 7 seconds of your videos are now my favorite
Hell yeah, more swearing! 💪🤬😤🤠
Fark yeah more Milk-V Mars content!!! 🍻
