I need to install an older version of Ubuntu (20.04) desktop version for compatibility reasons. The Raspberry Pi imager v1.6.2 on windows only shows Ubuntu desktop 21.10 as available.

I tried to download an older version of the imager, but that also only shows 21.10.

Screenshot showing only 21.10

You can install ANY image.

The Raspberry Pi imager (any version) will only offer to DOWNLOAD the latest, but can be used to install any you have. There is a "custom" option.

I use it to restore my backups.

  • Yes, but how could I get the image for ubuntu 20.04? It isn't the typical ISO image, but needs to be a .img file for the Pi

  • @betelgeuse if you don't already have an image you will have to search on a Ubuntu site. Raspberry Pi OS has archives of its images but AFAIK only links to 3rd party images. I don't use Ubuntu because it is a resource hog and won't run on any of my Pi.

You can find older release here https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/20.04/. Look for "raspi.img.xz"
