Porting ubuntu 13.10 on beagle board xm with GUI

Beagle board with GUI

Get prebuilt image:

wget https://rcn-ee.net/deb/rootfs/saucy/ubuntu-13.10-console-armhf-2013-11-15.tar.xz


Verify image with:

md5sum ubuntu-13.10-console-armhf-2013-11-15.tar.xz

8de42541ee3687d6a167878d4f873481  ubuntu-13.10-console-armhf-2013-11-15.tar.xz

 Unpack image:

 tar xJf ubuntu-13.10-console-armhf-2013-11-15.tar.xz

cd ubuntu-13.10-console-armhf-2013-11-15


 If you don't know the location of your SD card:

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --probe-mmc

 You should see something like

Are you sure? I don't see [/dev/idontknow], here is what I do see...

fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes <- x86 Root Drive

Disk /dev/sdd: 3957 MB, 3957325824 bytes <- MMC/SD card


lsblk:

NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT

sda      8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk

├─sda1   8:1    0 446.9G  0 part /  <- x86 Root Partition

├─sda2   8:2    0     1K  0 part

└─sda5   8:5    0  18.9G  0 part [SWAP]

sdd      8:48   1   3.7G  0 disk

├─sdd1   8:49   1    64M  0 part

└─sdd2   8:50   1   3.6G  0 part

    In this example, we can see via mount, /dev/sda1 is the x86 rootfs, therefore /dev/sdd is the other drive in the system, which is the MMC/SD card that was inserted and should be used by ./setup_sdcard.sh...

1.   install image:
2.   Quick install script for "board"
3.   sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot beagle_xm


Quick install script for "board" (using new --dtb option)

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb dt-beagle-xm

You should now be able to unmount the SD card from you PC, insert into your Board, reboot and have the OS loaded.

For a basic framebuffer driven desktop environment: (make sure network is setup):

Ethernet: "sudo ifconfig -a" and "sudo dhclient usb1" or "sudo dhclient eth0"

Then run:

/bin/sh /boot/uboot/tools/ubuntu/small-lxde-desktop.sh

Select any one of GUI listed below as per your need,

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

sudo apt-get -y install lxde lxde-core lxde-icon-theme

Keep in mind that lxde is light weight and its most preferable....
