On the instructions for installing Ubuntu on Android hardware (I have a new Nexus 10 32G wireless), I'm at the step of installation that says:
Install Ubuntu using your selected channel, in this case we use the devel channel:
$ ubuntu-device-flash touch --channel=ubuntu-touch/stable/ubuntu --bootstrap
The output for this last command is:
2015/12/26 10:29:02 Expecting the device to be in the bootloader... waiting
2015/12/26 10:29:03 Device is |manta|
Device manta not found on server https://system-image.ubuntu.com channel ubuntu-touch/stable/ubuntu
What can/should I change in the command (or anything else I'm giving) to let Ubuntu install?
--UPDATE--
The bootloader screen says:
DEVICE INFORMATION
PRODUCT NAME: manta
VARIANT: wifi
H/W VERSION: 8
BOOTLOADER VERSION: MANTALJ12
CARRIER INFO: NONE
SERIAL NUMBER: A3203044V1A
LOCK STATE: UNLOCKED
REBOOT MODE FLAG: NONE
FASTBOOT STATUS - OKAYmanta
When I switch from stable
to devel
, I received a different error, stating apparently that permission was denied to create /root/.cache
(/root/.cache
on the Android device? /root
on my Ubuntu machine is mode 700 root:root, and I'm trying to run the command as root):
root@ubuntu:/home/christos# ubuntu-device-flash touch --channel=ubuntu-touch/devel/ubuntu --bootstrap

I tried the same from an unprivileged account and it appeared to flash:
christos@ubuntu:~$ ubuntu-device-flash touch --channel=ubuntu-touch/devel/ubuntu --bootstrap

2015/12/26 12:23:43 Rebooting into recovery to flash
However, on boot, the screen shows "Google", then very briefly displays the Ubuntu logo, then gives a logo of a microchip across a red octagon / X, and says in a few languages, "This phone needs restoring from a PC or service center."
Advice?
Thanks,
