[12:33] <foormea> hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu on my nexus7. using the graphical installer ubuntu-nexus7-installer, copy seemed to get stuck for over half an hour. i see from the manual steps here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation that 2mn should be about what it needs to flash the device. can you confirm how long i should wait, roughly? |
|
[12:35] <Tasssadar> I am pretty sure that 30m is too long, something probably went wrong |
|
[12:38] <foormea> okay. i'm doing it with the manual steps and it's already flashing for 6-7-8mn |
|
[12:39] <foormea> nothing showing on shell, dmesg says nothing bad either |
|
[12:39] <foormea> maybe i'll try from another computer.. |
|
[12:40] <foormea> otherwise i'll revert the mofo to android :D (if i can flash it back haha) |
|
[12:40] <Tasssadar> how big is the image after you extract it from .gz? |
|
[12:40] <foormea> 700mb |
|
[12:40] <Tasssadar> chm |
|
[12:40] <foormea> chm? |
|
[12:40] <Tasssadar> it got big again, fastboot has problems flashing that big images |

|
[12:41] <Tasssadar> not sure from which size it is, but it was something around 700mb |
|
[12:41] <foormea> ha. okay... should i file a bug? |
|
[12:41] <Tasssadar> I am not "from ubuntu", maybe they already know |
|
[12:42] <Tasssadar> I can upload you older image, which should work |
|
[12:42] <Tasssadar> and then you can apt-get upgrade |
|
[12:42] <foormea> that'd be great. hang on i'd have to setup account for you. unless you don't mind sharing via google drive? |
|
[12:43] <Tasssadar> actually the image vanhoof uploaded for me a while ago is stil there |
|

|
[12:44] <foormea> thanks Tasssadar i really appreciate it |
|
[12:45] <Tasssadar> I hope that it is small enough, because I did not try flashing it via fastboot |
|
[12:45] <foormea> how did you do it? |
|
[12:45] <Tasssadar> I am dualbooting it, so I just extract the image somewhere |
|
[12:46] <foormea> ohh... i'm pretty new to the non-standard android world, do you have a link to recommend to do this? |
|
[12:47] <Tasssadar> I fail to parse the end of that sentence - you want a link to see how did I do it? |
|
[12:47] <foormea> yes, please |
|
[12:47] <foormea> :) |

|
[12:48] <foormea> i meant, do you have a link that you recommend. sorry, i'm not a native english speaker. maybe you're not either. anyway. thanks! |
|
[12:48] <Tasssadar> no, I am not :) |
|
[12:49] <foormea> i'll try the dual boot later. for now i'll try the full ubuntu. if i can flash it. |
|
[12:50] <foormea> i got this nexus7 offered as a present, trying to find a use for it. i'm not convinced so far. |
|
[12:54] <Tasssadar> well, it's made for consuming content - movies, youtube, whatever. But I use it also as "textbook" in school, and sometimes instead of a computer - with ubuntu, or you can just chroot into ubuntu from android |
|
[12:56] <Tasssadar> I've got iPad 2 for a month, to try what is is like, and I could't not find a decent use for it - it is too big (and fragile) to carry and use in school, you have to pay $99 _and_ have Mac computer just to develop an app for it... |
|
[12:57] <foormea> easily watching movies via sshfs/nfs/something like that without copying the stuff onto the tablet beforehand would be a great achievement that i've found no easy way to do with android |
|
[12:57] <gildean> foormea: subsonic |
|
[12:57] <Tasssadar> I think alpha/beta xbmc for android is around already |
|
[12:57] <foormea> oh yeah? |
|
[12:58] <Tasssadar> http://xbmc.org/natethomas/2012/12/02/xbmc-12-frodo-beta-2-now-with-android/ |
|
[12:58] <foormea> i'll try xbmc and subsonic. after i'm done playing with ubuntu :D |
|
[12:58] <gildean> with subsonic you can stream music/videos from your homecomputer/server to your mobile device and transcode to the bitrate available atm |
|
[12:59] <foormea> gildean: cool. what protocol does it use? |
|
[12:59] <gildean> it's basically just a http(s) server with a transcoder like ffmpeg in the backend |
|
[13:00] <gildean> it works well imo |
|
[13:01] <foormea> i'll give it a try. thanks!! |
|
[13:03] <foormea> Tasssadar: i can flash with the image you gave me! |
|
[13:05] <Tasssadar> how big it is after decompressing? |
