[00:00] <bubbasaures> UTL, There is a dual boot app for a couple of nexus devices, that is what you need an app.
[00:01] <bubbasaures> it actually is a multiboot you can fill it up with images
[00:02] <UTL> Uh... Well... I kinda tried that... and it kinda didn't work. Every image I tried didn't work.
[00:03] <UTL> I don't use a Nexus.
[00:05] <UTL> bubbasaures: Some people have managed to boot Ubuntu Touch from an SD card without messing up the internal storage on their device. I was wondering how I could do that.
[00:06] <UTL> I own a Nook HD+, not a Nexus.
[00:06] <bubbasaures> just info
[00:07] <bubbasaures> the 2013 nook appears to run google apps, just thought maybe has made a multi boot for more android devices, we never know how far you have researched is all.
[00:08] <bubbasaures> someone has*
[00:09] <UTL> I have researched this extensively. I am adamant about getting Ubuntu Touch to work on my Nook HD+, but I've had so many problems in the past, I wanted to test it first before installing for good.
[00:10] <UTL> You see, there is an image for it (ovation), but it's very buggy.
[00:16] <UTL> bubbasaures: Like I said, I've tried the Ubuntu Dual-Boot app, but each image I chose didn't install. You see, I had change the build.prop file to fool the app into thinking it was dealing with a Nexus 10, but I don't think I knew what I was doing.
[00:17] <UTL> nhaines: Are you online, as well?
[00:19] <bubbasaures> hope you get it figured out, bummer the backup images don't just always reload.
[00:21] <UTL> Yeah, it is a bummer. Thanks, bubbasaures.
[00:23] <UTL> Here's some pictures of some of the problems I've been having (second post by "wesnoth"): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406766&page=5 Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
[00:23] <UTL> I mean, the second post on the page.
[00:29] <UTL> Well, this looks promising: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406766&page=16 I hope it really is an update. Problem is, it was posted a year and a month ago, while the one on Ubuntu's website has been posted since May.
[00:31] <UTL> The last posts on the XDA Developers site is from June. Nothing later than that. Nuts!
[01:32] <jcbjoe_> hello .. is ubuntu-touch ready for the masses yet or is it a no go ?
[01:49] <UTL> Here we go... Just changed the build.prop on my Nook HD+ so I could get the Ubuntu Dual Boot app. I'm fooling it into thinking it's a Nexus 10 (manta image).
[01:56] <UTL> Didn't work. It booted into Clockworkmod Recovery, instead.
[01:59] <UTL> nhaines?
[02:41] <nhaines> UTL: yes?
[03:26] <UTL> Hi! Did you get my message about build.prop?
[03:27] <UTL> nhaines: That was directed towards you.
[03:33] <UTL> Where does the data for the Ubuntu Dual-Boot app go?
[03:36] <nhaines> UTL: I did not!
[03:36] <UTL> Oh. Here, let me run it through again, then...
[03:37] <nhaines> But unless the partitions on Nexus 10 and Nook HD+ are the same, I expect it not to work.
[03:38] <UTL> Well, there must be a work-around. Should I repartition, then? If so, how do I do it?
[03:43] <nhaines> I don't think you can repartition much.  The partition layout is required by the chipset or the board.
[03:46] <UTL> Hmmm...
[04:06] <UTL> So far, no good. It reboots into recovery every time.
[04:07] <UTL> At least it doesn't erase Cyanogenmod, or completely freeze my tablet on the Nook logo.
[04:09] <UTL> The dualboot.sh command doesn't work at all. I had to download an APK from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587723
[05:21] <UTL> Backing up, just in case. I'm going to try something drastic to my Nook HD+.
[10:43] <rhinolinux> hello all
[17:57] <jcbjoe_> hello .. i'm getting a nexus 4 this week and i want to install ubuntu-touch onto it .. the nexus 4 is a supported device and i was wondering can i use it as a daily driver
[18:03] <popey> you can
[18:07] <jcbjoe_> cool
[18:08] <jcbjoe_> popey: if you don't mind 1 last thing .. do i have to install ubuntu lets say in a virtualbox to install ubuntu-touch to the nexus 4 ?
[18:12] <popey> jcbjoe_: no, but it's easier if you have ubuntu on a machine
[18:12] <popey> otherwise it's a bit manual
[18:13] <jcbjoe_> cool popey i will install it in vmware or virtualbox
[18:13] <jcbjoe_> popey: i'm familiary with linux
[18:53] <jcbjoe_> will this channell come more to life when i need actual help when i get my nexus 4 when i need to install ubuntu-touch ?
[18:53] <jcbjoe_> i know i will run into some bumps and hiccups
[18:55] <popey> jcbjoe_: its way more busy during the working week
[18:57] <jcbjoe_> ok
[19:45] <towski> hey, what's the best phone for ubuntu touch
[19:46] <towski> best - highest spec
[19:48] <towski> ah I guess probably nexus 10
[19:49] <towski> oh the 10 is a tablet
[19:49] <towski> so nexus 7?
[19:54] <bubbasaures> towski, The effort is getting a phone company to deploy this, seems to be some interest, personally I will wait till than.
[19:55] <bubbasaures> It's a development still
[19:55] <towski> right
[19:56] <towski> it would be nice to have a phone that I could put debian/ubuntu on it
[19:56] <towski> I guess phones are hard to hack
[20:08] <towski> I feel like I have no option other than to get an iphone :(
