Ubuntu Touch Notes For Redme Note 8 Pro (Begonia)

Installing the OS

Unlock the phone

Needs to be done in a Windows system. Only needs to be done once.

  1. Create a Mi account on Xiaomi’s website. Beware that one account is only allowed to unlock one unique device every 30 days.
  2. Add a phone number to your Mi account.
  3. Insert a SIM into your phone.
  4. Enable developer options in Settings > About Phone by repeatedly tapping MIUI Version.
  5. Link the device to your Mi account in Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock status.

Getting nodejs & npm setup on Arch Linux

Setup

IMPORTANT use nvm to install everything or your permisions will be all sorts of messed up.

install nvm

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash

configure nvm

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

confirm install was done corectly

Instructions for setting up fresh Arch linux install

Arch Linux Guide

gpt format, with UEFI boot system and encrypted root

Notes

This will work for SD card instalaition as well as a standard install. To install on an SD card the boot and efi partitions must remain on the main hard drive. Replace /dev/sdX with /dev/mmcblk0 for the root partition using /dev/mmcblk0p1 in place of /dev/sdX3.

Download arch to usb & boot
