| locodir-user | Hello, having been a Ubuntu fan for years I recently bought a second hand Toshiba ac100 because the research I did suggested that I can install Ubuntu on it. Having tried for several hours - without success - I feel my knowledge is falling short. Can anybody here in NZ lend a hand? | 22:32 |
| mwhudson | i know people who have installed ubuntu on ac100s | 22:34 |
| mwhudson | haven't done it myself though | 22:34 |
| lifeless | locodir-user: what happens ? | 22:35 |
| locodir-user | It seems I can't get the proper path to nvflash to load the bootimage | 22:36 |
| locodir-user | Thought that by now I would know a little about Ubuntu, but have been proven wrong. | 22:36 |
| lifeless | have you followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/TEGRA/AC100#Installing_Ubuntu_11.10_on_the_AC100 ? | 22:36 |
| locodir-user | That's the one | 22:37 |
| locodir-user | so, was hoping maybe someone could assist me with this... | 22:37 |
| lifeless | sure, we can try | 22:39 |
| lifeless | the first step is probably to describe in more detail what happens | 22:39 |
| lifeless | :) | 22:39 |
| locodir-user | I have tried to follow each of the steps as documented on the ubuntu site but keep running into fault messages | 22:40 |
| locodir-user | and that is where my knowledge falls short... | 22:40 |
| locodir-user | I do not know how to address the faults | 22:40 |
| locodir-user | hope that explains my dillemma :) | 22:41 |
| locodir-user | *dilemma | 22:41 |
| chilts | I think you'd have to post at what stage you are getting the faults and what the faults say | 22:41 |
| locodir-user | ok | 22:42 |
| chilts | otherwise it's pretty hard to figure it out | 22:42 |
| locodir-user | I know... | 22:42 |
| chilts | also, have you googled the error message and seenw hat that turns up? | 22:42 |
| locodir-user | I take it you are in NZ and is it maybe an idea that come and visit? | 22:43 |
| locodir-user | That way you can see for yourself. | 22:43 |
| chilts | heh | 22:43 |
| ojwb | NZ is still quite a large area | 22:44 |
| locodir-user | I know but I'm central in Taupo | 22:44 |
| ojwb | a mere 5 hours drive away from me then | 22:44 |
| locodir-user | and seeing this has taken me hours already I can make it a road trip haha | 22:44 |
| ojwb | you could tell us what the error you get is | 22:45 |
| locodir-user | will run terminal again... just a sec | 22:45 |
| locodir-user | I've started the ac100 in recovery mode | 22:46 |
| locodir-user | I have copied the bootimage onto this onto a miniusb and inserted this into the ac100 | 22:48 |
| locodir-user | On my host computer, open a terminal and run: | 22:50 |
| locodir-user | Next I give the command: nvflash --bl /usr/lib/nvflash/fastboot.bin --download 6 /path/to/ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-desktop-armel+ac100.bootimg (which is the miniusb on which I've copied the file and for which I can not find the path). | 22:51 |
| snail | have you changed /path/to/ to something else ? | 22:52 |
| locodir-user | I don't know the path | 22:52 |
| locodir-user | I have tried using the miniusb on the host but it won't accept the path when I try this. | 22:53 |
| snail | Did you follow the instreuctions in the "Files to download" section of the wiki page previously? doens't that involve downloading a file of that name? | 22:55 |
| locodir-user | yes I did | 22:55 |
| locodir-user | when I tried to download 'wget http://share.grandou.net/debian/nvflash/nvflash_20110628-2_all.deb' I get a '403' error | 22:57 |
| locodir-user | anyway, did manage to get nvflash running. | 22:59 |
| ojwb | if you got 403 then it hasn't downloaded it | 23:00 |
| ojwb | that means "forbidden" - likely a permission setting is wrong on the file on the webserver | 23:00 |
| locodir-user | I know and that is where my problems started :) | 23:01 |
| locodir-user | I did manage to get nvflash working (I think) but my lack of knowledge in Linux commands prevents me from 'fixing' the things that need to be fixed. | 23:03 |
| ojwb | i know nothing about nvflash i'm afraid | 23:03 |
| locodir-user | well... I guess I need to go back to some of the youtube clips to try to figger this out. Thanks for your help! :) | 23:05 |
| snail | looks like http://share.grandou.net/debian/nvflash/ and pick the most recent | 23:15 |
| lifeless | heh | 23:59 |
