Hello how can I install ubuntu desktop 21.04 on raspberry pi 4 using serial console? I want to use the Raspberry Pi 4 UART pins to communicate using TTL to USB convert device to my windows 10 OS using PuTTY.
I tried configuring cmdline.txt and config.txt, I was able to communicate with the ubuntu 20.04 desktop installater, but I get stuck at "login" and "password".
How do I prepare the SD card files to add a valid "login" and "password" credentials so that I can be able to install ubuntu 20.04 desktop via serial?
Here is a pic:
Thanks.
Edit: I solved the problem.
I had to edit the boot files of the installer and add a root hash password to "etc/shawdow". Since ubuntu does not supply a default root password on it's installers.
Here is a video on how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyG1bMk522I
Here is a pic me finally logging into the Ubuntu 21.04 desktop release installer as root via UART TTL Serial communication from PuTTY:

All that is left is to finally install ubuntu 21.04 into the raspberry pi 4... all done heedlessly, thank goodness :)
