boot Ubuntu from sd card

jcdnxs

Dear friends , i had recently bought a firefly - rk3288 . i want to install a more complete version of linux ubuntu 14 in sd card for testing, than the one in the firefly wiki .
I tried to install using the tuturial from Ian MORRISON but there is an error at the end of the installation and was unable to create the image.
Can anyone provide me a .img file  fully functional for firefly  of ubuntu 14 for sd card and  or a place where i can get one ?

kernel-linux.img RK3288Loader_uboot_V2.17.02.bin Tools

I also try the comand:

su ./create-linux-sdcard




as superuser boot it gives the same error at line 116

Can any one help me or give me a link with a complete ubuntu 14.04 sd image for firefly (full functional!)




thanks

yes I also checked had execute permissions as root but had no restrictions .I gave up that idea and installed a dual boot firmware version of Ugoos and I was glad for the linux version is very complete . And the android is also complet with google play and every thing.the only problem is that the internet interface and VGA do not work!Thanks a lot

I would also like to try but I have no computer with Linux , only have a live cd of knoppix but it don′t let me create the image, and so i can not test...Can anyone provide me a more complete image file of ubuntu 14 (than the one in firefly wiki) that works well in Firefly ? one that supports wifi, lan and vga ? A image file that is possible to create a bootable sd with Win32DiskImager in Windows .Thanks for your helpBest Regards
