1. Format the SD card
If there is a previous image on the SD card, you can use this tool to format it first and then install the image.
(If it is a new SD card, you can skip this step)
Select Erase !
select SD card
In this way, the formatting is successful! You can also use SDFormatter software
2. Burn image
Since Ubuntu 20.04 officially only has the server version, you can only install the server version first, and then install a desktop for it.
The recommended SD card here should be at least 32G in size. 16G is prone to the problem of insufficient space.
Click this setting to set the login password and account, as well as the wifi account and password
Set login name and password, as well as wifi name and password (this wifi password seems to be a bit problematic)
Because it needs to download the image online, it will be a little slow, as long as you download it once, you can install it directly later!
After the burning is completed, we can reinsert the SD card, we can see a system-boot disk, we open the network-config inside to modify the wifi password
We can find that it is a garbled code, just change this to the corresponding wifi password!
Now you can insert the SD card into the Raspberry Pi!
3. Install the desktop interface
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install xubuntu-desktopIf a display with an interface appears, select gdm3
ps: gdm3 and lightdm
Both gdm3 and lightdm are display managers (display managers) in the Linux operating system, and are programs for logging in to the interface. Their role is to provide a login interface when the Linux system starts, manage user login and logout, and switch between multiple users.
- Gdm3 is the abbreviation of GNOME Display Manager, which is the default display manager used by the GNOME desktop environment. Its design goal is to provide a modern, easy-to-use and extensible display manager that supports multiple languages and authentication methods.
- lightdm is the abbreviation of Lightweight Display Manager. It is a lightweight display manager that supports multiple desktop environments, such as Unity, LXDE, XFCE, etc. Its design goal is to provide a simple, fast and customizable display manager capable of quick startup and shutdown while keeping resource consumption low.
Finally remember to restart
sudo rebootps: The difference between xubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop :
Both Xubuntu and Ubuntu are Debian-based Linux operating systems, but they use different desktop environments.
- Xubuntu uses the Xfce desktop environment, which is designed as a lightweight and fast desktop environment for older computers or computers with low performance requirements.
- Ubuntu uses the GNOME desktop environment, which is more feature-rich and suitable for computers with higher performance requirements.
PS：
You can also download the Ubuntu 18.04 server image specified by the Raspberry Pi, and then use the Raspberry Pi image tool to burn it, and then install xubuntu-desktop .
