[22:32] <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?
[22:34] <mwhudson> i know people who have installed ubuntu on ac100s
[22:34] <mwhudson> haven't done it myself though
[22:35] <lifeless> locodir-user: what happens ?
[22:36] <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 ?
[22:37] <locodir-user> That's the one
[22:37] <locodir-user> so, was hoping maybe someone could assist me with this...
[22:39] <lifeless> sure, we can try
[22:39] <lifeless> the first step is probably to describe in more detail what happens
[22:39] <lifeless> :)
[22:40] <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
[22:41] <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
[22:42] <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?
[22:43] <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
[22:44] <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
[22:45] <ojwb> you could tell us what the error you get is
[22:45] <locodir-user> will run terminal again... just a sec
[22:46] <locodir-user> I've started the ac100 in recovery mode
[22:48] <locodir-user> I have copied the bootimage onto  this onto a miniusb and inserted this into the ac100
[22:50] <locodir-user> On my host computer, open a terminal and run:
[22:51] <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).
[22:52] <snail> have you changed /path/to/ to something else ?
[22:52] <locodir-user> I don't know the path
[22:53] <locodir-user> I have tried using the miniusb on the host but it won't accept the path when I try this.
[22:55] <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
[22:57] <locodir-user> when I tried to download 'wget http://share.grandou.net/debian/nvflash/nvflash_20110628-2_all.deb' I get a '403' error
[22:59] <locodir-user> anyway, did manage to get nvflash running.
[23:00] <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
[23:01] <locodir-user> I know and that is where my problems started :)
[23:03] <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
[23:05] <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! :)
[23:15] <snail> looks like http://share.grandou.net/debian/nvflash/ and pick the most recent
[23:59] <lifeless> heh
