[Cubieboard] install lubuntu server for sdcard

Hardware: cubieboard2

System: Ubuntu 14.04 Based on VMware Virtual Machine

Image: cb2-lubuntu-server-tsd-tfcard-v2.0.img.gz [1] (base on Ubuntu 14.04 optimized by lubuntu)

 

Connect the TF cartoon to the Ubuntu virtual machine through the USB interface, and the system automatically mounts it to the/Media/<username> directory.

 

1. Prepare the TF card

 

Run the fdisk command to view the device list:

$ sudo fdisk -l...Disk /dev/sdb: 15.9 GB, 15926820864 bytes64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 15189 cylinders, total 31107072 sectorsUnits = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytesSector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytesI/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytesDisk identifier: 0x00000000   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System/dev/sdb1            2048       26623       12288   83  Linux/dev/sdb2           26624     7744511     3858944   83  Linux

 

First, ensure that the TF card is not mounted to other nodes in the system (the automatic mount point is/Media/Username/Directory ).

$ sudo umount /dev/sdb1$ sudo umount /dev/sdb2

 

2. Clear the TF card

 

$ export card=/dev/sdb$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=${card} bs=1024 seek=544 count=128128+0 records in128+0 records out131072 bytes (131 kB) copied, 0.101418 s, 1.3 MB/s

 

3. Copy the image to the TF card

 

The replication process takes several minutes (about 6 minutes this time). wait patiently.

$ sudo dd if=cb2-lubuntu-server-tsd-tfcard-v2.0.img of=/dev/sdb1662976+0 records in1662976+0 records out851443712 bytes (851 MB) copied, 389.627 s, 2.2 MB/s

 

4. Change the Default User Password

 

The first thing to do when entering the system is to change the default account password. The password settings should be as robust as possible [2].

Note:

[1] The uenv.txt file of the image file is incorrectly configured, which will cause the system to fail to start normally. The solution is as follows:

After the image file is copied, run the fdisk command to view the device:

$ sudo fdisk -l...Disk /dev/sdb: 15.9 GB, 15926820864 bytes64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 15189 cylinders, total 31107072 sectorsUnits = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytesSector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytesI/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytesDisk identifier: 0x00000000   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System/dev/sdb1            2048       26623       12288   83  Linux/dev/sdb2           26624     1625199      799288   83  Linux...

 

Mount/dev/sdb1 to the system, for example,/Media/Username/Sdb1:

$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/username/sdb1

 

Go to the mount point, edit the uenv.txt file, and change line 1 mmcblk1p2 to mmcblk0p2:

$ sudo vi uEnv.txt root=/dev/mmcblk0p2extraargs=console=tty0 hdmi.audio=EDID:0 disp.screen0_output_mode=EDID:1280x720p50 rootwait panic=10 rootfstype=ext4 rootflags=discard

 

[2] for setting static IP addresses, this version of linaro can only set DNS-nameservers 192.168.1.1 and cannot use 8.8.8.8.8. Otherwise, the system cannot start.
