Failed ubuntu installation

Hi,

first of all Thank you for your great work and all the time you spend for that.

I got a problem by installing ubuntu desktop to my nexus 32Gb 3G.

Ubuntu touch "demo" ROM worked, but the desktop installation always shows an error in the step:

Patching ubuntu init.....

it says: init paths do not exists

Then the incomplete ROM will be erased.

Any suggestions what my problem is ?

Re: [WiFi&3G] MultiROM v8 (2.4.3.0 recovery)

FYI, multirom will not work on m-kernel a38 because the ramdisk is compressed using lz4. Tassador, is this a mater of adding lz4 support to multirom or something else?

That's not the real reason though. Trying to inject the boot image gives an error because gzip in busybox does not support lz4 yet.

Yeah, I actually totally forgot ramdisk can use different compression, so MultiROM can handle only cpio.gz. It is definitelly flaw of MultiROM and not the kernel of course, and it has to be fixed, but I don't have time to do that right now. I have to finish one other project (I really have to, I've got money grant for it and if I don't finish it, I would have to return all the money which is already spent and stuff), so I really don't know when I'll get around to it.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
Fastboot and adb are programs that come with the android sdk for your pc. You need to download that, then update to get the platform-tools where they are located. If you can find a download of just that folder, that will work too. Also, make sure you have java jdk 6.0 and frameworks installed if on windows system. Also note that these are command line tools, not gui driven.

Re: [WiFi&3G] MultiROM v8 (2.4.3.0 recovery)

As others have said a39 goes back to using gzip compression for the ramdisk to support multirom.

That said, I hope he/you eventually find/s the time to add support for other ramdisk compression formats, as I would eventually like to go back to lz4 compression as it is much, much faster... And who doesn't want marginally faster boot ups? :)

Easy, Flash recovery first. Then, boot recovery to flash MultiROM. :beer:

It doesn't matter which one you flash first. Recovery does not give a damn about MultiROM, and MultiROM doesn't need recovery either. You can use CWM even if you have MultiROM, you just won't be able to add any ROMs to MultiROM, and the modified TWRP acts as normal TWRP if you don't have MultiROM installed.

This is great, this is good for all us Nexus7 lovers.

I've now installed 2 additional rom's and testing, works good.

But... no show stopper, something that dev might look into: if you add a rom from existing backup (nice feature) and if that backup rom is configured with multiuser, then it will boot to Google setup and doesn't recognize the multiuser environment (it behaves as a 1st time rom setup). As I said, not a show stopper if you want add one for testing or single user purpose.
