Install Ubuntu 20.04 on a Raspberry Pi

Got an unused Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 laying around? Let's put it to good use by installing Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa on it! This will make a great platform to create a robot Ubuntu and ROS 2 Foxy Fitzroy.

All you need to complete the steps in this video is a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 (Pi 2 and Pi Zero are possible but a bit more challenging and not covered here), and an SD card.

Here's the network-config file used in this video:

version: 2
ethernets:
eth0:
dhcp4: true
optional: true
wifis:
wlan0:
addresses:
- 10.168.1.21/24
gateway4: 10.168.1.1
nameservers:
addresses: [10.168.1.1, 8.8.8.8]
access-points:
robotnet:
password: "robotnet-password"

I'm stuck on 5:10 I don't have an internet connection connected to the pi please help

Very clearly explained! I got everything working as described. I'm curious though. Isn't having the plain text wifi password in network-config a security issue? Thanks.

i tried to do ssh ubuntu@ command but it says connection refused! what to do??

Ho do you configure a static IP address. I saw what you did, but I don't know how to replicate that to my Pi.

hi how can we install ubuntu 20.04 on rasberry pi 5

I wish it was so simple...I followed all the steps, and still ubuntu goes in auto-login, I CTRL-ALT-F4 and got the login to be available for input, but "ubuntu" "ubuntu" for login and password doesn't work. Also, I can't even connect it to the wifi. I am a disaster with technology :(
