canonical. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS brings some Major
features which include kernel 5.4, GNOME 3.36,
EXFAT Native Support, New Lock Screen & More
Hey, What's UP Guys My Name is KSK ROYAL. In this
video, I will show you how to install Ubuntu
20.04 on Raspberry Pi 4. This is going be
a step by step installation guide. By the
end of this video, you will successfully learn
to install ubuntu Desktop on raspberry pi 4
I will also show you how to overclock raspberry
pi 4 to Maximum clock speeds up to 2GHZ which
significantly improves the desktop performance
of Ubuntu. Let Get Started.
First & ForeMost, Go ahead open your favourite
browser, then the first link will gonna take
you to the ubuntu website & download the image
file for Raspberry pi 4. By the time of recording
this video, UBUNTU 20.04 is in Beta. When,
the Official Release rolls out, I will update
the links below the description of this video.
For now, I will stick with Beta Version. Now,
GO ahead choose the 64 Bit Edition, then its
gonna start downloading ubuntu 20.04 server
edition. Don’t worry we gonna install the
latest desktop environment on the top of ubuntu
server after booting Raspberry pi.
Now open the second link, which will take
you to another page where you have to download
the balena etcher. Once it is done downloading
all of the files, place it somewhere on your
desktop for easier navigation.  Now, go ahead
install Balena etcher on your windows PC.
Once it's done installing balena etcher, extract
the ubuntu image using any extractor.
Once it's done extracting, you will see a new folder
that contains ubuntu IMG which is around 3.2 GB in Size
That being said, moving on to step 2
Creating Bootable SD Card
Now, Open BALENA Etcher -> choose Select Image
And look for the image file that we have extracted.
Then choose the Drive letter of the SD Card
and click on flash to start creating a bootable
SD Card with Ubuntu 20.04. Sit back & relax
the process will take some time depending
on the writing speed off the SD Card.
As you can see, it has done flashing. Now
go ahead, remove the SD Card & connect back
to the computer.
Now, Open MY Computer and the SD Card will
be displayed as System boot. Inside the system,
Boot folder look for the file named Config.txt
and open using Note pad ++. I am gonna go
ahead, overclock MY Raspberry pi 4 CPU & GPU
to the maximum frequencies by writing these
lines. Keep in mind, when you are overclocking
raspberry pi, Make sure it has a proper CPU
cooling or heat sink installed. Also, make
sure your power supply is capable of producing
4V or higher. Other wise, the raspberry pi
4 will stuck at boot loop. This overclocking
process is completely optional, if you are
a beginner, you can stick to default clock
speeds. In this case, these lines will boost
the CPU to max 2 GHZ & GPU 600 MHZ.
Once it is done writing these lines save the changes.
At this point, I am gonna go back to the System
Boot Folder of SD Card, and then I’m gonna
enable the SSH upon booting. Basically, when
raspberry pi 4 boots up, it uses the Ubuntu
CLI interface. Enabling SSH is completely
optional, it's up to you, if you want to connect
to Raspberry Pi remotely. Just for this video,
I am enabling SSH to remotely control my Raspberry
Pi 4 from my Computer.
To Enable SSH, inside the system Boot directory
highlight the address bar from the top and
type CMD to open a command prompt from the
current directory. Then type ‘\echo>\ssh\’
to enable SSH upon booting. This way, I can
log in to raspberry pi 4 remotely within my
local network.
Now, go head eject the SD Card, and put inside
raspberry Pi 4. In your Case, You have to connect
to monitor, keyboard, mouse, power supply
and ethernet cable for internet connection.
Once it's done connecting all the things,
turn on your Raspberry Pi 4. Wait for a few
minutes, the first boot will take around 2
- 4 minutes.
Now, On my windows computer, I am gonna go
ahead open the command prompt and connect
to My raspberry Pi 4 using SSH.
By default the user name and Password is ubuntu.
Now, Raspberry Pi will ask to change the default
password. GO ahead update the new password.
As you can see the New password has been updated
successfully. I am gonna go ahead reconnect
back to raspberry pi 4 and this time I have
to type the new password to login into Raspberry
Pi.
At this point, I have successfully logged in to ubuntu. In your case, if you have connected
to monitor you don’t need to use SSH for
remote connection. You can directly type the
commands from your keyboard connected to raspberry
pi.
Now type sudo apt-get update to update all
of the repositories. Once its done, type sudo
apt-get upgrade to upgrade the system. Make
sure your PI is connected to ethernet and
has a proper internet connection to download
all of the updates.This will take some time
so sit back & relax for a few minutes.
At this Point, we have done updating the Ubuntu
System. It’s time to install the ubuntu
Desktop environment on raspberry PI 4. To
do so, type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop,
this will install the latest gnome-desktop
edition on raspberry pi 4. You can also try
different flavors of ubuntu by typing these
commands. Keep in mind, this will require
a faster internet connection to download all
of the files. So sit back & relax and don’t
interrupt anything.
Once it’s done downloading,
go ahead restart Your raspberry pi.
That's it now we have successfully installed Ubuntu 20.04 on raspberry pi 4. Now, keepin mind booting into Gnome Desktop will take around 3 - 5 minutes, don’t worry if it
stuck at blinking the cursor. Just wait until
it boots into Lock screen.
As you can see guys, Ubuntu 20.04 looks fantastic
on raspberry Pi 4 & Guess what., I have screen
recorded this footage that you are watching.
This is it, Ubuntu 20.04 is successfully running
On Raspberry Pi 4. Keep in mind, overclocking
may improve the speed of desktop experience
at the same time make sure your PI has a CPU cooler or
heat sink installed to avoid over heating issues issues.
Now once thing , you should Do after installing
ubuntu on raspberry pi is that, try to disable
the system animations to achieve the smoother
performance.
That's pretty much It guys! Let me know, what
