Bug Description

I am using a Nexus 4 with latest Android upgrade. Have followed the ubuntu instructions for dual booting. Have tried latest version and suggested Utopic version of Ubuntu touch with both giving the broken pipe error. Selecting the Super user app tells me that there is no SU binary installed, and SuperSu cannot install it. This is a problem!

Further investigation of this error points to the SU binary not appearing on the phone when using the ./dualboot.sh script even with ./dualboot.sh full, after upgrade to Android 5.

I have used CF Auto Root by Chainfire using the instructions posted by Vinod Yalburgi at, www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-root-nexus-4-android-5-0-lollipop-chainfires-one-click-root-1475020, to enable root access by installing the SU binary so that supersu can enable su privileges for ubuntu dual boot. The download link is there and a shell script for use on linux systems is in the download. Remember to set it to run as a program, if you unzip into your home folder then, sudo ./root-linux.sh will be your step 4.

I had uninstalled, supersu, on android before following the instructions.

The process worked first time.

New to this and have written solution in the bug description section. the problem is solved by using Chainfires one click root for android as the latest version works for android 5. This puts the SU binaries onto the Android system so that SuperSU works.
