I am trying to install Ubuntu touch on my Nexus 5 and have gotten as far as pushing the files to the device with the device in Ubuntu Touch Recovery mode. It seems to be taking a long time to push the file "ubuntuimages/pool/ubuntu-d8d097dfc125dc91455594656762421ba6ac8fbf19524bfa07db1a879d0adee1.tar.xz" to the phone. I know that this file is significantly larger than the other ones (300MB or so) but should it really take over 16 hours? There isn't any progress indication so I thought I would ask.

Thanks.

@NeoTheThird yeah seems like VirtualBox has problems with USB connections even though I did add the filters. I tried another install using VB on my MBP and it kept dropping while sending the user userdata. I had to manually re-install Android on the device from OSX.

After several attempts using VirtualBox on my PC I finally tried using VirtualBox on my MBP and was successful. Still don't know what the nature of the issue was with the PC. I set up several virtual Ubuntu systems and had the same issue so it wasn't just that installation. Anyway, if anyone else has this issue, move on and use a different computer.

@UniSuperBox Same issue. Left it running all night. This time it only pushed 4 files. Also the ubuntuimages folder is empty.
