There are many tutorials for installing Ubuntu on Raspberry Pi on the Internet. Of course, I didn’t come here. As a student, campus network certification is really annoying. It is complicated to do simple things.
I'll write about how to install the Raspberry Pi desktop version and its Internet connection when the campus network requires authentication to access the Internet . Of course, you must be thinking that if you can install the desktop version, you can connect to WiFi directly?
So I will also talk about how to connect to the Ubuntu 18.04 without a desktop when the campus network requires authentication to access the Internet.
Now Ubuntu official website Raspberry Pi 4B Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 18.04, of course, there is no built-in desktop.
Originally, it is very simple to install the desktop. The official Ubuntu website also says:
But the problem is that the campus network is really annoying. This requires authentication. I tried to connect to the mobile phone hotspot WiFi in the command line , but it seems that the system is too clean and something needs to be installed, which makes the official system unable to connect to the Internet. After some exploration, I have the following two methods:
- Install the unofficial Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.3 with its own desktop. There are actually a lot of tutorials on the Internet, and here I also write and write casually. Unofficial ubuntu mate: Raspberry Pi 4 Ubuntu Server / Desktop 18.04.3 Image (unofficial) download.
To install Ubuntu on the Raspberry Pi, you can first understand the version of the Ubuntu system that supports the Raspberry Pi: [Raspberry Pi 4b] Second, some summary of the Raspberry Pi Ubuntu system
- Through the notebook network sharing method, the notebook becomes a router, the notebook is connected to WIFI, and the Raspberry Pi is connected to the Internet through the network cable. This is the easiest way I think. Click the link for detailed methods.
①I have tried mobile USB sharing network to the Raspberry Pi with Ubuntu 18.04 , but it didn't work, anyone who knows how to do it can tell me.
Of course, there are other ideas:
②For example, you can download the corresponding package yourself, and then transfer it to the Raspberry Pi via a USB flash drive or LAN to install the desktop or connect to the hotspot of your mobile phone.
③Or I think some big guys use the campus network The authentication process package is used to directly authenticate and log in to the campus network. This method may be used to log in to the campus network without a desktop Ubuntu system.
④Of course, if your school has a Linux version of the client authentication software, you can also upload it to the authentication campus network and log in to the U disk.
⑤Also, I have studied how routers can authenticate campus networks. I can buy routers that can use OpenWrt system, and then I can connect the Raspberry Pi directly.
