The graphical UI

Bring up Unity 8 (the graphical UI)

Now that you’re logged in, there remain a number of things to be configured before Ubuntu Touch will be fully functional on your device. The correct way to do this is by storing these settings in overlay files (Overlay files), and not by making the root directory writeable, as described below. However, in order to quickly set up udev rules which are necessary to complete subsequent steps, you can use this method for first time setup.

Make / writable

Before you make any changes to the rootfs (which will be required for the next steps), you’ll need to remount it with write permissions. To do that, run the following command:

sudo mount -o remount,rw /

Aggiungi le regole di udev

You must create some udev rules to allow Ubuntu Touch software to access your hardware. Run the following command, replacing [codename] with your device’s codename:

sudo -i # And enter your password
cat /var/lib/lxc/android/rootfs/ueventd*.rc|grep ^/dev|sed -e 's/^\/dev\///'|awk '{printf "ACTION==\"add\", KERNEL==\"%s\", OWNER=\"%s\", GROUP=\"%s\", MODE=\"%s\"\n",$1,$3,$4,$2}' | sed -e 's/\r//' >/usr/lib/lxc-android-config/70-[codename].rules

A questo punto, riavvia il dispositivo. Se tutto è andato bene, eventualmente potresti vedere lo spinner di Ubuntu Touch seguito da Unity 8. La tua parola di accesso è la stessa che si è scelto per entrare con SSH.

When Unity 8 is first brought up on your device, you will probably notice that everything is very small. The Ridimensionamento del display section describes how to deal with this.
