**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Oct 30 02:59:58 2013 Oct 30 12:45:19 I have an Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 which I run Ubuntu 12.04 (armel) on via Debian Kit. Now, I'm wanting to run the Rust compiler on it, but the build I've made depends on glibc 2.17, which isn't available until Ubuntu 13.04, by which time only armhf builds are supported. So now I want to upgrade or get a new loop disk image which will run on my tablet. Oct 30 12:46:30 Unfortunately, my endeavours thus far have failed. Is it possible to upgrade an armel-architecture machine to armhf? (Not sure whether that would be advisable, even if possible.) Oct 30 12:47:30 I've tried downloading ubuntu-13.10-server-armhf+omap4.img, but I can't figure out if I can mount it or not—it's intended to be the entire device, not just a filesystem. Oct 30 12:49:07 As for the other path of creating a new installation, I haven't been successful in figuring out how that would work at all. Oct 30 12:49:40 All I think I need is an ext4 loop disk containing what would be in /. Oct 30 12:57:36 ChrisMorgan, thats a partitioned image ... you want to loop mount the second one from it Oct 30 12:57:48 ogra_: how can I do that? Oct 30 12:58:00 (check with fdisk and use an offset for the loop mount) Oct 30 12:58:08 OK, thanks! Oct 30 12:58:27 there should be many howtos for this via google :) Oct 30 13:00:47 Ah yes, I just didn't know what to search for. Oct 30 13:01:29 yeah, we should have added some info to the image description on the cdimage download page Oct 30 13:04:39 fdisk reports the partition type as "Linux" and the start point as 147456. I presume that means ext4? `sudo mount -o loop,offset=147456 ~/Downloads/ubuntu-13.10-server-armhf+omap4.img /tmp/ubuntuarm -t ext4` is still failing, though. Oct 30 13:05:06 iirc you need to do some math Oct 30 13:06:18 Hmm... parted reports both partitions as FAT32 :-/ Oct 30 13:07:11 But when forced into B units, it does show a start of 75497472B, which works for mounting as vfat. Oct 30 13:08:50 So, it contains dists, doc, install, pics, pool, preseed, etc. I thought it was the preinstalled image? Oct 30 13:10:20 oh, no, we dropped that Oct 30 13:10:26 thats indeed a live image Oct 30 13:10:33 sorry Oct 30 13:13:45 * ChrisMorgan wonders whether he can work with it Oct 30 13:14:06 http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/raring/release/ there is a nexus7 img.gz, i dont remember exactly what image format that was Oct 30 13:15:35 I'll try it and see what happens :-) Oct 30 14:09:20 ogra_: I can't figure out how to get anything out of ubuntu-13.04-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.{boot,}img :-( Oct 30 14:10:55 It's fastboot stuff, I gather, and doesn't appear to be a valid disk image or any obvious form of partition. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Oct 31 02:59:58 2013
