Linux Installer & DDing Rasp 2 Image
What is the appeal of making the linux installer graphical and why does it require qt5?
I'm using debian wheezy on my notebook and I can't run the default installer because qt5 doesn't exist in the repositories. I tried to run the installer on CentOS 7, which also didn't work. A simple bash script that doesn't require dependencies to make a window turn on would seems more user friendly because it would be universally compatible across linux distributions. I believe I read that the installation image could be written via dd to a microsd card, which doesn't work for me when using the raspberry pi 2. When I attempt to boot a dd'ed image, xbian gets stuck at the xbian splash screen when the init message comes up. The bar just keeps running across the screen for about 30 mins until I pull the power cord. I had a raspberry pi B+, from memory, I believe I used dd to write the xbian image to the microsd card and had no issues with that model. |
