Hello,is it possible to install a desktop enviroment, like lxde on the calc.
@Ivoah Alright, so, how about this: instead of debootstrapping directly to the USB, I debootstrap to an image file, the dd the image file to the USB. Or am I still missing something?

Sometimes the flash drive draws too much power. If you have a powered hub with a mini-USB port, you can use the link cable that comes with the calc to avoid any problems, and also plug in a real keyboard.
The issue is cropping up before he even get's to the Nspire step, that's not it (yet).

Virtualbox usually works, but I've seen weirdnesses with USB forwarding which might be causing problems.

Do you think that would work?
Probably not, that feature is still very much in beta, with many bugs. I highly doubt qemu would work with it. If you have a raspberry pi though, that would work best, as you can skip the qemu and binfmt steps.

I am asking as Ubuntu seems to support my WiFi cards. Or does debootstrap rely on Debian?Also, I think I'll look into getting a Raspberry Pi, as it certainly would make doing this whole thing easier, if I were to do it again (I have a tendency to accidentally format USB drives without checking what's on them).

Also, I would highly recommend getting a Raspberry Pi, they're fun to mess around with. For instance, I just made this the other day: https://twitter.com/NoahRosamilia/status/723688146320392192

I will definitely look into buying a Raspberry Pi. Which one do you recommend?
Hands down would recommend a Pi 3, as they are the fastest, and still the same price as the older ones.
