Nexus 7 2013 Wifi (Flo) 32 gb won't copy every installation file
-
So lately I've been trying to install UbTouch on my Flo, but whenever I copy the installation files the process halts at about 50% (tried with the ubports installer and the ubuntu-device-flash), because the cache is only 256 mb big and they won't fit there. Is there a way to increase the cache or to copy the files somewhere else?
Thank you! -
Update: I'm giving 15.04 a try but I still see that it's almost 400mb. I was even thinking about installing 14.04 but on the index of the standard ubports server (https://system-image.ubports.com/) there is no 14.04. However there is a legacy folder but there's not flo in there.
-
@lapinus Mine was a pain too. Can only suggest factory reset and clearing cache all from recovery. I used the installer with wipe option ticked but it still took a lot of attempts. Use the search function on the forum to check for other threads etc on this subject. There a few.
-
Ye i saw them they just said to do that. Yo, you know where can I download the legacy image for flo?
-
@lapinus Sorry UT or android? I'm currently out and about so a bit difficult for me at present.
-
Oh obviously ubuntu. Btw i'm giving this a go http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09/daily-preinstalled/pending/. Thanks for answering!
-
Also the installation still gave me an error. By using this I can flash the system and boot, and then unzip the rootfs to /
-
@lapinus, did you modify the partition table of your device when installing another system?
-
@UniSuperBox No, don't think so.
-
@UniSuperBox Also, what files do I need to download and install from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09/daily-preinstalled/pending/ ?
I think that if I install UbT and then use the normal ubports installer the /cache partition will be resized by ubt, correct? -
No, the partition will not be resized for you.
Jan has put a lot of work into installer 0.4.x to fix installation on the Nexus 7. Maybe give it a try: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases/tag/0.4.1-beta
-
Already did, my bug report got flagged and moved to a todo list i think

-
So I'm giving a go the manual installation
-
@UniSuperBox Now that I checked I did execute a script that did reduce the cache size from 500 mb to 260 to get more /system space because I couldn't install gapps. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76278047&postcount=19
-
@lapinus, okay, you will need to return your device to stock partitioning before you are able to install Ubuntu Touch.
-
@UniSuperBox I did. The installer doesn't really work it just hangs on formatting cache but the ubuntu-device-flash utility worked. Now I'm running it and I love it. So since you are here, why when I add a .deb to Libertine it says that it's installing but then it removes it? what am i doing wrong?
-
@lapinus First thing when doing Libertine stuff is to go to battery settings and set Lock when idle to never. Then set it back when you have finished this stops anything messing up the install of the container or apps. I have found just search by the app name normally works rather than by .deb or whatever.
If you have to many problems try deleting the container and starting again. Hope this helps. -
@Lakotaubp Hey how can I delete a container?
-
@lapinus swipe right on the container name and tap the red bin that appears.
