Ubuntu 15.04

This is a rebuild of the image based on Ubuntu 15.04

Changelog

  • Build using Ubuntu 15.04
  • Package refresh

Known Issues

  • There's a bug in the script where python 3.4 fails to install during debootstrap. I currently have a workaround in place.
  • If you are trying to flash the image on Ubuntu 14.04 with bmap-tools it will not work. See the installation instructions below for how to fix it.

Release Notes

The first boot may take a while as it is running some set up scripts. Currently it automatically resizes the root filesystem to fill the SD card, generates SSH host keys, and creates a swapfile.

With the inclusion of my PPA and the update to irqbalance users can update their existing installs by running
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:futurepilot/raspberry-pi-2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Installation Instructions

If you are on a Debian based system install bmap-tools
sudo apt-get install bmap-tools
Extract the archive and use bmaptool to copy it to the SD card
sudo bmaptool copy 2015-05-02-ubuntu-vivid.img /dev/sdX
You can also use dd but it will take a lot longer since bmaptool doesn't write the empty bits
Windows users can use Win32DiskImager to write the .img file to the SD card

Note for Ubuntu 14.04 users the .bmap file was generated using bmap-tools 3.x and will not work with 2.x. You can add
deb http://download.tizen.org/tools/latest-release/Ubuntu_14.04 /
to your sources.list and sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install bmap-tools to get a new version of bmap-tools.

Initial Release

This is the first image release.

Known Issues
