I thought I would share this quick note before blogging it. I will be attending the Ubuntu Hour in SF today. To get a Nexus 7 ready to demo I did a couple small things.
First I followed the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch To refresh the image I ran: phablet-flash cdimage-touch Patience is a virtue even when the messages give the impression of doing nothing. I like to use a real keyboard for typing so in the terminal I did: sudo apt-get install openssh-server ifconfig will provide the IP number of the device by your network, in my case 192.168.0.103. So to connect: ssh [email protected] In the Release notes it says how to change the timezone with two commands: echo "America/Los_Angelese" | sudo tee /etc/timezone sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata Then I wanted to run the Intro Tour again that happens when you FIRST launch the device. That took a small script where I put the following in a file named ./demo (use pico or vi) then chmod +x demo (to make it executable). The file ./demo should contain: #!/bin/sh dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Accounts /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User32011 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set string:com.canonical.unity.AccountsService string:demo-edges variant:boolean:true sudo -iu phablet /sbin/restart unity8 I hope others find this useful.
