Not sure if it's so simple:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Building
I'm frustrated too, that nexus 10 isn't supported, however I think it's intentionally not.
Cannonical doesn't want to make competition to BQ with Nexus 10, which isn't sold anymore.
Also friendly advice - do not update "File Manager" app, as it will render your "File Manager" useless.
@mariogrip said:
Are you running it with --bootstrap?
yes, command recommended on this site for this device:
sudo ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --channel=ubuntu-touch/stable --device=manta --bootstrap
as mentioned by luckychild, only official "devel" images are working.
sorry, this solution still doesn't work on ubports images - only on official "devel" images.
I found the solution. It might be good, if you mention it in the installation instructions.
During installation, after image has been loaded into device it is necessary (I assume only for Nexus 10 devices with 16 GB flash) to execute following command to free up memory:
ubuntu-device-flash --clean-cache touch
After I did this, installation worked on first try (after previous 10+ tries without this command).
I'd appreciate any help - did someone actually successfully installed Ubuntu Touch on Nexus 10 lately - with later images?
Hi,
I bought Nexus 10 for sole purpose of testing out Ubuntu touch.
I tried first with official Ubuntu build following: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/ using devel channel.
I wasn't successful - after all the process seeming to go well at the end at reboot only sequence "Google", then for part of a second Ubuntu sign and then icon of a chip with sign "This phone needs restoring from a PC...." appears.
After failing with Ubuntu images I tried Ubports images and same thing happens - flashing process appear to go well, but at the end after rebooting "This phone needs...". I tried "stable", "rc-proposed", "devel-proposed" channels - none successful.
I doubt I'm doing something wrong, as I successfully flashed several Nexus 4 phones.
