Nexus 7

Finally managed to get round to updating my Nexus 7 it's now running Ubuntu - I was going to run Ubuntu-touch but my Nexus is the 2012 model. The wiki was really useful. The steps were:

user@sp:~$ sudo fastboot devices -l
015d18844c0c1609       fastboot usb:1-1.3
user@sp:~/nexus$ sudo fastboot flash boot n7.bootimg 
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'boot' (8192 KB)...
OKAY [  0.995s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [  0.358s]
finished. total time: 1.353s
user@sp:~/nexus$ sudo fastboot flash userdata ubuntu-13.04-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.img 
[sudo] password for fred: 
target didn't report max-download-size
erasing 'userdata'...
OKAY [  4.902s]
sending 'userdata' (691753 KB)...
OKAY [ 82.591s]
writing 'userdata'...
OKAY [ 41.251s]
finished. total time: 128.744s
user@sp:~/nexus$ sudo fastboot reboot
rebooting...

finished. total time: 0.215s

And then follow the advice from ask ubuntu and changed the repo's to point at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ to upgrade to the latest 13.04 available, then installed ssh, tmux, to make managing it easier.
