As far as I can tell, they're the same image. Not that that helps any. Neither one works for me. I dd'ed it onto an SD card, using the arguments given in the instructions (with the correct path and device name). I could even read it on the ubuntu laptop I have. But when I put it into my Samsung Q1 Ultra _Premium_, with the bios set to boot to the USB stick before the hard drive, it just loops back and forth: 1) Show the BIOS screen 2) blank the screen like it's going to try to boot up 3) light up the USB stick's LED 4) Dim the USB stick's LED 5) Go to #1 The quirks of my set up: * It's a USB SD card reader, with a microSDHC card stuck into a micro-SD to SD card adapter. I assumed that'd look just like a USB stick -- am I wrong? If I need to get a "real USB stick", what kind do I need to look for? * It's an Ultra Premium, not an Ultra. Someone on this list had previously said that shouldn't matter ... but, just in case, I'm pointing it out again. * I made no other efforts to prepare the card, pre-dd'ing it, nor post-dd'ing it. Did I miss or skip a step? What are the full steps required? Do I need to fully format it, then mkfs it, and then dd it? Do I need to follow up with some command to make it bootable? (I'm a unix sysadmin, but not a linux sysadmin (mostly solaris, BSD, and OS X, and a smattering of lots of other actual unix platforms, but very little hard core linux stuff), so when it gets down to this level of issue, where things don't "just work", I need a little bit of instruction) (If I do need more steps, those commands should have been in the instructions... ) -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
