[00:34] <Ben_____> I'm very new and trying to add lubuntu to an SD card and boot it on the RiotBoard.  THe RiotBoard is like a Rasberry PI
[00:35] <wxl> which chip, Ben_____ ?
[00:36] <Ben_____> evelopment Platform Features. Freescale i.MX 6Solo processor based on ARM Cortex-A9 architecture, operating at speeds up to 1 GHz. ARM Cortex A9 MPCore™ Processor operating at 1 GHz. Freescale Kinetis MCU (K20) Freescale Power Management Integrated Chip (PMIC MMPF0100) 1GByte of 32-bit wide DDR3 @ 800MHz.
[00:36] <wxl> sheesh a simple a9 would have been nice :/
[00:37] <Ben_____> Sorry, I'm pretty new
[00:40] <wxl> so you would want to get the image here https://ubuntu-pi-flavour-maker.org/download/
[00:40] <Ben_____> do you think the pi version will work on the RiotBoard
[00:41] <wxl> probably
[00:41] <wxl> it's supposed to work for a pi 2 which at least in its earliest format had an a7
[00:41] <wxl> though the later model (and the 3) is an a53
[00:43] <Ben_____> so just save the file to the sd card and set the board to bood from SD card or do I need to do something special?
[00:43] <wxl> you follow the instructions :)
[00:44] <wxl> first note a class 6 or 10 microSDHC is recommended
[00:44] <wxl> then you:
[00:44] <wxl>  1. download
[00:44] <wxl>  2. unxz the download
[00:44] <wxl>  3. use dd or ddrescue to do a BIT BY BIT COPY of the image to the sdcard
[00:45] <wxl> you'll note that a bit by bit copy is not a standard copy
[00:45] <wxl> if you just copy the .img file it will NOT boot
[00:45] <Ben_____> Ok.
[00:46] <Ben_____> I tried using Win32Disklmanager to create a bootable sd card but I must have missed a step.
[00:47] <wxl> if you look at the sd card and it has an img file on it, you did it wrong
[00:47] <Ben_____> I have windows installed on this machine
[00:47] <Ben_____> :(
[00:47] <wxl> if you look at it and it exposes a whole filesystem (or you can't read it because windows is dumb) there ya go
[00:48] <Ben_____> so step one format the sd card?
[00:48] <wxl> naturally :)
[00:49] <Ben_____> quick format or overwrite format
[00:55] <wxl> i'd overwrite it personally but a quick may work
[00:57] <Ben_____> I think I'm going to try a usb drive https://rtechsupport.org/kb/linux-installation/
[00:57] <Ben_____> Instead of a SD..
[00:58] <wxl> if it can boot from it sure
[01:15] <dantray> How long should install from usb take on average?
[01:19] <wxl> not long dantray
[01:22] <dantray> My install is taking hours.
[01:23] <wxl> if you're using the desktop installer, are low on ram, have a slow internet connection, are using slow usb protocols, or any of the above, that could make sense
[01:23] <Ben_____> so i should have install saved on USB.  Not usre if I can boot from the USB :(
[01:30] <dantray> I am using the desktop installer, 4GB ram, Hughes Net connection, 4GB USB.
[01:30] <wxl> the net connection on wifi? cuz that could be an issue. maybe they throttle you? also the size of your USB doesn't say what protocol. 1.x is slow.
[01:32] <dantray> Is on wifi, not throttled, not sure about USB speed.
[01:42] <Ben_____> so it load the install file on the USB stick and then plug the USB stick in to the riot board with Ubuntu running can I do an install of lubuntu?
