This guide will help you set up Ubuntu 8.10 on your PS3 there is no risk of leaving the PS3 dead you if you cant get it set up and you cant get back to the PS3 system you just turn off the PS3 and then hold the power button for a about 5 seconds untill the second beeps then it will reset and boot the standard PS3 system
Requirements: USB Keyboard & Mouse, Either a copy of Ubuntu 8.10 for the PS3 ready burnt onto a CD or you will need a PC and a blank CD to burn the ununtu download onto.
This guide assumes that you have burnt Ubuntu to CD and installed the new OtherOS on your PS3, If you need help follow instructions 1 and 2 on PS3 Linux How To: Install Ubuntu on the PS3
Please note you do not burn the ISO file onto the CD the ISO file is a copy of a CD and must be opened properly so the files it contains will be burnt to the CD if you have Nero or any quality burning software all you will need to do it double click the file it should then open up your burning software with the required settings and ask you to start burning .
Ubuntu 8.10 PS3 ISO Download
Make sure you have updated your Other OS in the XMB menu. Intrepid will not install using an old Other OS.
Start up the PS3s XMB system (if in kboot/terminal write: “ps3-boot-game-os” or “boot-game-os”).
With the Intrepid disk loaded, go to [Settings > System Settings > Install Other OS]. The otheros.bld file will be detected on the disc. Hit [Start] to update your Other OS.
Go to Default System and switch from PS3 to “Other OS”.
Loading the installer
With the Ubuntu disk loaded and OtherOS activated, start up your console, and wait for the installer to begin.
You will be greeted by two penguins and some lines of text. After a few seconds the terminal will display:
This is an Ubuntu installation CDROM
built on 20081030.
…
If in doubt, just press Enter.
kboot: _
Pressing Enter will start the installation with the kernel loading the system. Never mind the usb error message(s), just let the installer start up.
Installing the base system
These instructions are only tested on a ps3 connected to the internet via cable. If you’re installing without internet access the process might vary somewhat from the steps below
* First choose a language for the installation process, then your geographical location.
* The system can try to determine your keyboard or you can choose it from a list.
* The CD ROM is scanned, and additional components are loaded.
* If your PS3 is connected to the internet via cable, choose eth0: Ethernet. (unless you are using WEP encryption - wireless networks can be hard to configure from here.)
* Enter a hostname for the system - like “ubuntuPS3″.
* Disks and hardware is dectected. If asked if you want to Activate Serial ATA RAID devices just choose yes .
* When asked how to partition the disks, choose option 2: “Guided - use entire disk” (meaning the 10.7GB you formatted from the XMB in step 1∞).
* On the overview screen, hit “Finish partitioning and write changes to disk”. If asked to confirm, choose yes.
* The partition is formatted and base system installed. It should take about 6 minutes.
* Set up your user information (full name, username and password twice), and choose whether you would like to create a private encrypted directory for your user.
* Unless you’re using a proxy, leave the HTTP proxy information field blank (just hit enter).
* The system will start installing software. It might appear to hang at 6%, but just give the installer time and it will move on. The process will take about an hour.
* System clock - Yes to UTC.
You’re done! The CD will automatically eject itself, but you have to manually take it out of its slot (if you don’t, the PS3 will load it upon reboot). Hit Continue to boot into Ubuntu.
At the kboot screen, hit enter. Once greeted by the Ubuntu screen, enter the user name and password you chose during installation.
Congratulations! You should now have a working (X)Ubuntu 8.10 Operating System installed on your Playstation 3. Move on to Setup Ubuntu for tips on how to configure the screen resolution and making the OS run more smoothly.
PS: If you’ve chosen to install Xubuntu there is currently a bug that avoids you from opening the file manager Thunar. A quick fix for this is to install the alternative and lightweight file manager pcmanfm:
sudo apt-get install pcmanfm

Install Problems
An ISO file is a disk image it is not a file that needs to be burn to disk it is a file containing instructions of how it should be burnt and the files that need to be on the disk most good burning software will work if you just double click the ISO file, otherwise you have to find the option to create disk from disk image.
When you have burnt the disk view the disk contents in windows and if there is only one file on the disk then you have burnt it wrong but if you can see multiple files and/or folders then the disk is ready.
Happy Testing..!!
