Cubieboard2 – Lubuntu installation

I wanted to install Lubuntu on my new Cubieboard2 so I decided to go for this v1.06 Lubuntu 12.10 image. You have option to have NAND or SD card and I’ve decided to go for NAND because the system performance should be faster than SD.
UPDATE: Download the Lubuntu 14.04 image for Cubieboard2. I found this image on Marcos Costales blog

I followed this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeULfhdX1CY and installed PhonexSuite, downloaded image and upgraded cubieboard2. Thanks for it, it saved a lot of time..

Which single board computer to select?

My first SoC board was pcduino. Since it was one of the first boards and I used it 24/7.
It gave me some experience and I really like that Allwinner SoC A10 with 1GB RAM and 2GB storage. What I wanted was SATA so I could use my mini PC also as media server that support DLNA.Now I wanted to buy a new one, but which one?
To get the full list go to wiki.

Cubieboard2 – Lubuntu – Xterm Copy/Paste

As you can find out the normal copy paste is not working in Lubuntu Xterm.This blog: http://www.davidsimmons.com/soft/xtermhacks/ looks to me too complicated.

I just have to get used to my mid mouse button that will copy+paste the selection in XTERM.
The paste in other application is working also by pressing the middle button. If you do not have one click both the left and right buttons simultaneously to paste.
