Cubietruck: Installing Lubuntu + VNC

Originally wanted to brush Cubieez, but the VNC from the start can not, lazy toss, and then replaced with Lubuntu, toss a long time (most times in fact are waiting for network download), hereby commemorate ~

Cubietruck If only use a terminal is not wasted, but home and no monitor, could have used XMING+SSH to support X window, but always feel very awkward. I've only recently seen VNC as a good thing, so try it anyway.

First of all, the brush machine (currently the newest is ct-lubuntu-server-nand-v2.0.img):

First install the Phoenixsuit, select the brush machine after starting, and then choose the Lubuntu image. Press and hold the Fel key, use MINIUSB to connect CB to the computer (do not plug the power cord), this time, should the interface will automatically pop-up prompts, whether the format or the like, is or not all can (generally choose no bar), and then wait for the brush machine finished. After the experiment, to about 88% will be relatively slow, do not worry, and so on.

After the completion of the brush, with TTL or SSH connection to the Cubie, the default user Linaro/linaro.

Install TightVNC:

Install Tightvncserver

After the installation is complete, set the VNC password:

vncpasswd

At this point, the start of VNC can start, but after the connection, you will be prompted:

After checking, this is because there is no desktop installed ..... I take it for granted that the firmware comes with it. Just install LXDE, GNOME and KDE are basically not considered, too heavyweight, only in Lxde and Xface selected.

Install LXDE

After downloading, restart the system, and then start VNC on the line:

Tightvncserver-geometry0x600 :1

And then I was connected.

The main problem is that the download is really turtle speed, more than 80 m software, under four or five hours. Install need ARMHF software source, Ubuntu This is a separate source, and very few software sources also provide this, looked for a long time did not find, but thought there are two ways, may be slightly better:

Gae Agent

Axel+apt-fast Multithreading

Using a proxy, create a file that reads as follows:

#vim/etc/apt/"http://192.168.0.101:80"; Acquire::ftp"http://192.168.0.101:80""http:/ /192.168.0.101:80";

Then, when installing the software, specify the agent:

Install lxde-c/etc/apt/gae

The other is to use axel+ Multi-threading, which is always stronger than one thread:

Install axel# This site need to add an agent, or download can not, 403 wget -u nosuchbrowser/1.0 http://www.mattparnell.com/linux/apt-fast/apt-fast.sh  mv apt-fast. sh /usr/bin/apt-fastchmod +x/usr/bin/apt-fastaptInstall lxde
