TrimSlice H250: Ubuntu on a SDXC Card
- This is a workaround as the Trimslice OS installers do NOT make a bootable HD on the TrimSlice H 250 (even though it appears to have done so)
- I used a 160 GB HD- Worked on 320 GB HD (see above)--Satellit 18:36, 27 June 2012 (EDT)
- This is based on the fact that The installer-ubuntu-natty-2.6.38.3_l4t.r1.01.img is a working Ubuntu install
- Note: Running from the SanDisk (30MB/s) Ultra 64 GB SDXC seems faster than either the Internal HD in the TrimSlice H250 or the ssd in the TrimSlicePro
- In the TrimSlice H250 Ubuntu Desktop:
- Download:
http://trimslice.com/download/installers/ubuntu/natty/installer-ubuntu-natty-2.6.38.3_l4t.r1.01.img.zip
- Unzip file
- write to 64 GB SDXC Card
dd if=installer-ubuntu-natty-2.6.38.3_l4t.r1.01.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
- Open with gparted in another Ubuntu PC
- Resize Partition (Max seems to be 30GB)
- Create a fat partition from remaining 30GB on Card.-Labeled MyFiles
- Boot Card in Trimslice H250
- Create USER in System Settings
- (NEW USER) password is 111111
- Change to Administrator with password
- Shutdown
- Reboot Card and log in as (NEW USER) with password
- Have fun
- MyFiles 30 GB partition appears on Desktop
- HINT Move the installer icon from the desktop to Downloads for safety
