I'll download it myself and look whether it's really corrupt.. on my server it worked :-/

I downloaded it from dropbox, ran "bunzip2 rootfs.tar.bz2" and got no errors. Could you try to use bunzip2 too?



Does it work now?

ok, tks bro

oks this is what i have when i run bunzip

noobnonin@noobnonin-GN670AA-ABM-SG3110LA:~$ su -
Password:
root@noobnonin-GN670AA-ABM-SG3110LA:~# bunzip2 rootfs.tar.bz2

bunzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
   perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.
bunzip2: No such file or directory
   Input file = rootfs.tar.bz2, output file = rootfs.tar

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

bunzip2: Deleting output file rootfs.tar, if it exists.

Wget is a program that downloads files via ftp, http and many other protocols.
`wget <url>`

This explains why you are using Ubuntu. With Unity.

Admin, please split this into a separate topic. This topic gets hijacked too much and it gets pretty annoying. x.x

Also it might be a good idea to remain polite towards Linux newbies if they are just starting to use Linux (I wonder if the Nspire can even run Ubuntu/Mint and if those fit on a flash drive?)

Am I not polite enough? I hate Ubuntu, but it's the best Distro to begin with (if you uninstall Unity..)
Yes, it'd run, but only < 9.10, as they droppen armv5 support..
Debian and openSUSE run, but openSUSE is slow as hell and I'm currently searching for an alternative.
Almost everything that runs on the Raspberry Pie should run on the nspire too, but much slower.

Agressive

:P

(Not as rude as if there was all caps, insults or even more unnecessary exclamation marks, though, just kinda warning in case it would escalate and I understand the other guy also needs to do his homework so that you guys can help him help himself)

Also I was a bit concerned about the Ubuntu suggestion because I seriously doubt such graphical-intensive distro will even get close to run on a TI-Nspire (it has 64 MB of RAM and a 150 MHz CPU). And lol where I live the biggest stick I ever saw was 32 GB for $40 or so. I can't imagine how expensive a 512 GB stick would be... O.O

EDIT: Wow, SMF QUOTE bbcodes are total garbage lol

It will run. Theoretical. Practical the battery will be empty until it's loaded  ;D
