[SOLVED] Ubuntu: installer not working, Xbian hangs

[IriDium]

You can tell if it's a RPi 2 if it has the power connector next to the HDMI slot.

I've just downloaded the same img file XBian_2015.02.14_rpi2.img, dd'd it and booted. Xbian came up in around 30 seconds including the fs.

There should be no need to gparted it at all.

What is the exact dd command you use? Was the card reformatted before use (Should not be necessary but.. Create a single EXT4 partition). unmount, then dd as before.
