<waiting for device> when installing recovery on Ubuntu Linux

[Guest Michael Vegfruit]

I've noticed lots of Ubuntu users running into this problem, and it's been asked and answered lots of times, but as it's not always clear what to do, figured it might help to dedicate a topic to it. As the sub topic says, just run the install-recovery-linux.sh script in sudo: sudo bash install-recovery-linux.sh seems to work for me.

Not much of a tip, I know, but hopefully helpful for someone...

Sorry for the bump, but I just had to say a big thanks for this. The FAQ link at Step 5 in this post is dead, so this thread was a lifesaver. :)
