[SOLVED] Ubuntu: installer not working, Xbian hangs

I run ubuntu 14.04 32bit system

My Questions:
1 What could be the problem with the installer?
2 Does a simple dd command suffice? What is the installer actually doing?
3 Pls help

1) I'm sorry the app is 64bits only.
The solution: You can go and try to compile it yourself from git (It would actually be cool if someone with a 32bit did this).

2)Yes i used to use dd (and gparted after to resize it)

Without using the installer i'm seeing you're having problems. My first thought is you're not resizing the sd card after using dd and you're having memory space problems.

After using dd, use gparted and allocate your free space to xbian partition. (you need to install 'btrfs-tools' first to be able to allocate the space)

P.S.: Just a tip: there's a good user interface for dd called 'gdiskdump' if you guys dont like to use dd from terminal.
