[02:55] Hello [11:16] hi [12:20] Earthquake! [18:22] morning [18:27] mōrena koutou [19:30] morning [19:30] such a nice day here today...so far [19:40] morning [19:45] morning [20:19] kcj: I didn't feel it at all [20:19] It wasn't a large one. [20:20] http://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/quakes/3661295g.html [20:23] fairly deep too [20:42] Yeah. [20:43] morning [20:43] morning [20:48] morning [20:50] gninrom [22:32] 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] i know people who have installed ubuntu on ac100s [22:34] haven't done it myself though [22:35] locodir-user: what happens ? [22:36] It seems I can't get the proper path to nvflash to load the bootimage [22:36] Thought that by now I would know a little about Ubuntu, but have been proven wrong. [22:36] have you followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/TEGRA/AC100#Installing_Ubuntu_11.10_on_the_AC100 ? [22:37] That's the one [22:37] so, was hoping maybe someone could assist me with this... [22:39] sure, we can try [22:39] the first step is probably to describe in more detail what happens [22:39] :) [22:40] I have tried to follow each of the steps as documented on the ubuntu site but keep running into fault messages [22:40] and that is where my knowledge falls short... [22:40] I do not know how to address the faults [22:41] hope that explains my dillemma :) [22:41] *dilemma [22:41] I think you'd have to post at what stage you are getting the faults and what the faults say [22:42] ok [22:42] otherwise it's pretty hard to figure it out [22:42] I know... [22:42] also, have you googled the error message and seenw hat that turns up? [22:43] I take it you are in NZ and is it maybe an idea that come and visit? [22:43] That way you can see for yourself. [22:43] heh [22:44] NZ is still quite a large area [22:44] I know but I'm central in Taupo [22:44] a mere 5 hours drive away from me then [22:44] and seeing this has taken me hours already I can make it a road trip haha [22:45] you could tell us what the error you get is [22:45] will run terminal again... just a sec [22:46] I've started the ac100 in recovery mode [22:48] I have copied the bootimage onto this onto a miniusb and inserted this into the ac100 [22:50] On my host computer, open a terminal and run: [22:51] 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] have you changed /path/to/ to something else ? [22:52] I don't know the path [22:53] I have tried using the miniusb on the host but it won't accept the path when I try this. [22:55] 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] yes I did [22:57] when I tried to download 'wget http://share.grandou.net/debian/nvflash/nvflash_20110628-2_all.deb' I get a '403' error [22:59] anyway, did manage to get nvflash running. [23:00] if you got 403 then it hasn't downloaded it [23:00] that means "forbidden" - likely a permission setting is wrong on the file on the webserver [23:01] I know and that is where my problems started :) [23:03] 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] i know nothing about nvflash i'm afraid [23:05] 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] looks like http://share.grandou.net/debian/nvflash/ and pick the most recent [23:59] heh
