Re: X86 Ubuntu Touch Emulator

 

Hi.

I've tried this from elementaryOS which is Ubuntu 12.04 based. I get an
error message after it downloads the images:

jodie@jodie-MS-7528:~$ sudo ubuntu-emulator create
--channel=ubuntu-touch/utopic-proposed --arch=i386 test_x86
Creating "test_x86" from ubuntu-touch/utopic-proposed revision 23

Error while converting
/home/jodie/.local/share/ubuntu-emulator/test_x86/system.img: Unknown
option 'compat'
qemu-img: Invalid options for file format 'qcow2'.

I should probably install Ubuntu 14.04 to test this out, maybe I'll do that
sometime.

Anyone know what this means and how to fix?

Thanks
Jodie
