Hi Wolfman,
Yea, i’ve seen that. but it doesnt have any info that could help me.
I have downloaded the 16.04 beta2 file for RPI3, and now putting it into the sdcard.
My method for doing it is really easy, and i hope this info gets to other people.
-
Plug sdcard into pc using card reader. MUST be used with adapter and adapter set to unlock mode.
-
Use Gnome Disks(ITS GRAPHICAL easy to use, no need use command line), click format sdcard(optional), then click RESTORE DISK from top right corner of gnome disk. Select your downloaded file. For my current case its the 16.04 beta 2 version. It is (ubuntu-mate-16.04-beta2-desktop-armhf-raspberry-pi.img.xz)
-
The restore took about 15-20 minutes for me when i did the 15.10.3 file it was going at about 10mb/s. After it was completed, i just plug in the sdcard to RPI3 and it booted in.
-
But the problem then was the system was only using partly of the sdcard, about 3.9gb or so. the remaining of my sdcard was unused and i couldnt install much thing into it.
-
I solved that by using GParted Partition Editor. Just click on Resize the partition of PI ROOT. and drag to max so the RPI3 will fully utilize the sdcard.
-
my current restore image is problematic, it so slow going at 800= kb/s for 16.04 file. i dont know why.
i will update if 16.04 solves my HDMI tv sound problem.
