Sixth look at Ubuntu 17.10: 'julyshakedown'


This week Canonical have issued an 'Ubuntu Artful Desktop July Shakedown – call for testing' requesting:
We’re mid-way through the Ubuntu Artful development cycle, with the 17.10 release rapidly approaching on the horizon. Now is a great time to start exercising the new GNOME goodness that’s landed on our recent daily images! Please download the ISO, test it out on your own hardware, and file bugs where appropriate.
So if you'd like to help out but only have an Intel Atom (Bay Trail or Cherry Trail) or Apollo Lake device then you can either use my 'isorespin.sh' script to make a bootable ISO for testing or use the 'one I made earlier'. I've used my script to respin the daily Ubuntu 17.10 ISO from the 19th of July and updated it with the v4.13-rc1 kernel packages along with my usual wifi/bluetooth packages and scripts and I've added a small 200MB persistence partition which can be resized after booting.

The ISO respin log file contains:

Script '/usr/local/bin/isorespin.sh' called with '-i artful-desktop-amd64-190717.iso -u -l rtl8723bt_4.12.0_amd64.deb -f linuxium-install-UCM-files.sh -f wrapper-linuxium-install-UCM-files.sh -f linuxium-install-broadcom-drivers.sh -f wrapper-linuxium-install-broadcom-drivers.sh -c wrapper-linuxium-install-UCM-files.sh -c wrapper-linuxium-install-broadcom-drivers.sh -s 200MB' ...

which shows the command used and the respun ISO can be downloaded from here.

Anyone interested in respining their own ISO can download my 'isorespin.sh' script from here together with full documentation with examples from here.

Please donate if you find the script useful using the following link http://goo.gl/nXWSGf as everything helps with development costs.
