The following remastered Ubuntu distributions have been available for the youBot:
- Version 0.3.0: Ubuntu 10.04 with ROS Electric
- Version 0.4.0: Ubuntu 12.04 with ROS Fuerte
- Version 1.0.1: Ubuntu 12.04 with ROS Hydro
Version 1.0.1 is shipped since February 2015 with every new youBot bought from youBot Store.
All versions include drivers and applications for controlling the KUKA youBot. Beside these, they are equivalent to the standard distributions and can be used as bootable live media or for installation. They can be used on almost any PC and are not limited to the onboard PC of the KUKA youBot.
Links to download are available on youBot store website for all logged-in users.
If after the installation of the ISO image the Xserver is not starting you are probably using the old version of ISO image, which due to the problems with the drivers for integrated graphical card is working only with screens with small resolution. Please download the newest version.
Creating the Live media
Download the iso images from our website [1]. Afterwards you need to create a bootable usb stick, on Ubuntu this can be done e.g. with the program Startup Disc Creator.
Installing the Ubuntu operating system from the youBot Live-USB
NOTE: If you do not install it on a fresh youBot, but used the PC already before, make sure to do a backup of your hard disk if it still contains data important for you.
Depending on the hardware you use you may need to enable booting from USB or press some key to enter the boot menu. On the youBot's PC this is enabled by default.
In the boot menu you have to select USB as a booting device and install operating system. The installation steps are the standard installation routine of Ubuntu as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall
NOTE: There is just one exception compared to the standard installation. If the “Who are you?” window appears, you have to set a name, though this will have no effect to your system. After the installation there will always be the user "youbot" with password "youbot". You can only change the name of your PC.
The usage of the youBot Live-USB is not limited to the onboard PC of the KUKA youBot, however, it may be difficult to install it on some PCs due to graphic card drivers. If you encounter this issue we advise you to install the normal Ubuntu instalation and install ROS and youBot packages manually. The installation instruction can be found in youBot wiki [2]
