Bug Description

Hi,
I can install on my Nexus 7 2013 (flo) with dualboot.sh script, and I can install Ubuntu Touch image or update it, but I cannot switch to Ubuntu. When I select "Reboot to Ubuntu", Nexus restarts always in Android. I had before a Nexus 10 and it worked right with Ubuntu touch. What's wrong? Please, help me to test Ubuntu touch. Thank you very much at all.
Sincerely
Jose Luis Lazaro

Yep, we don't support dualboot on Nexus 7 anymore, it has too small partition for recovery where Ubuntu boot.img does not fit anymore.
So when you try to reboot to Ubuntu it will fail. Only way out would be some sort of repacking of Ubuntu boot image on the device and slimming it down to fit in Nexus 7 (2013) recovery partition.
I think there is probably existing bug for this.

Thank you for your answer. At least I know why.
