Yes, that works. Just rename recovery.img to boot.img and specify Ubuntu as the primary OS. Then you just need to pack the kernels into CWM zips - see the wiki for details.

Module for Phillips SPC 900NC

Hi there!

Please help me! I've installed ubuntu on my TF101 for only one purpose:

I need the program (Lin_guider) that can guide my telescope, while I take an astrophoto, working on my TF101.

For telescope guiding I need support of external USB webCam. The one I have is Phillips spc 900nc. But this version of kernel have no support of external webcams.

I've tryed to compile this module by muself, but installed Ubunta (kernel 2.6.36.4) have no headers for module compiling. And I can't find the proper headers in repository.

I've tryed to compile kernel as it described here with enabled Phillips cam support. But even after I've made kernel (there is 2 errors in source codes, you know?) it dont work (or I've flashed it incorrectly)

Can someone make me this module please? For kerenel 2.6.36.4

I need it badly! Please!

P.S. Sorry for my english!

For compiling the kernel, reading through the dev thread will be useful. e.g. the sound patch I posted there fixes those errors.

However, note that most of the work is now occurring on this kernel.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choate48:
I've looked through most of this post (188 pages of it at this time) and found it really help full. I'm a Linux guy so I know quite a bit about it (not everything by a long shot) but a few things that helped me out the most was the information about un-installing pulseaudio after upgrading to 12.04, and the 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0p3' line to get back in to Android. But as I only wanted Ubuntu on my tf101, I use that little 'problem' to my advantage.

I do like that all the programs that I wanted on my tablet can just be installed form the repos that are already installed. I wouldn't take it that ALL programs are available because I haven't looked for the programs that I don't need, but I would try compiling it if it wasn't available.

For those wondering what the command is to remove pulseaudio this is what I use. 'sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio' I don't use autoremove, because I found that it can remove programs that I want to keep on.

The only problem I have is when I don't have it docked it is hard to navigate around some apps, as they expect a mouse and the touchscreen doesn't always act like a mouse.

I haven't tried using the 3.1 kernel yet, because I still want to keep the plug-and-play of the current kernel, although I would like the audio through the speakers but that is by no means a deal breaker for me.

P.S. I know some of what I posted has already been posted but if there are people like I used to be they look at the first few pages and the last few pages and see if that has there problem and not look through, or search, the post to find there problem, and this should help reduce the amount of posts telling people to look through because there problem is already posted.

Would the Linux images for the Raspberry Pi not have anything that could be used for the TF101 ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
There was a patch in the dev thread (which I posted) that fixed jack detect for the 2.6 kernel. It never got incorporated into the git though, so you'll need to apply it and compile the kernel yourself (see wiki for details).

Plug and play is currently being worked on, and likely to be fixed sometime in the near future.

No. The TF101 uses ARMv7, which is supported by the official Debian (and by extension, Ubuntu) armel and armhf repositories.

Raspbian is the standard Debian repositories recompiled for ARMv6 with hard float support. I don't know if it will run on the TF, but if it does it's going to have poor performance.

Non-hard float Linux images for the Raspberry Pi use armel, which is obsolete (for the TF, anyway) now that armhf is available.

For a discussion of what armhf is and why it's better, see here.

AFAICT, the only benefits conferred from the Raspberry Pi project on us will be indirect ones, like more people running ARM hardware and fixing ARM-specific bugs. (These exist in some of the oddest places - there's one in KDE that's been bugging me for a while...)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
This is almost entirely wrong, where do we start.

Correct, the TF101 uses an armv7 core but official debian armel repo is compiled for armv4t. their armhf is armv7 with hard float support. Ubuntu on the other hand since IIRC Karmic has been compiled for armv7, prior to that it was armv5t. armv7 is backwards compatible with v4t v5t and v6, as long as we are looking at eabi binaries. The incompatibility is between oabi and eabi.

It should run just fine on the TF as armv7 is backwards compatible with the previous instructions as long as stated above. The performance really will not see that much of a difference, as armv6 with hardfloat -> armv7 soft float is not a huge jump in performance compared to the armv4t to armv7 jump that we see with debian armel and ubuntu armel side by side, and given most people are still running armel images (dist-upgrade will upgrade oneiric armel to precise armel not precise armhf) is not something that most users are seeing at the moment. The hf vs sf thing isn't as big of a deal as the v4t->v7 jump.

This part you are actually 100% correct on, the RPi images will have no direct impact on the tf, running their images probably won't have any significant changes performance wise (negative or positive) and the biggest changes that we will feel are to the available software packages. Bugs that we never saw before will probably be fixed, RAM usage optimised. Things like this. RPi has 1/4 the ram we have in our transformers, so things that show up in low memory situations are going to get discovered. Of course though the biggest contributor to bug fixes in software packages being that more people with arm hardware means more eyes on it all. Traditionally the arm variants of these distributions are used by a relatively small community, the RPi has boosted the number of people playing with arm linux significantly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
autoremove is recommended here because there are a few support modules for pulseaudio that are used by the greeter which are also at fault, it is recommended that the whole pulseaudio package be removed

SBKv1 3.1.10

Jhinta's thread suddenly went dead (what a bummer), so let me ask here since this would be a great input for non-dev tf101 community if someone shares...

I can't seem to find any decent instructions on how to put together a recovery.img for SBKv1 devices (with updated Ubuntu 12.04 installed to internal storage), containing 3.1.10 updated kernel by Jhinta. And also there is nothing in prepared form except zImages and kernelblobs scattered here and there. I tried to just change kernelblob in my current recovery partition with this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1630130 -- it looked like the easy way to do it, and I failed on all occasions. Nvflash either refuses to flash because after changing roughly 3Mb 2.6.x blob to 5Mb 3.1.x one recovery.img grows too big (11M), or it flashes successfully when I use smaller initrd from one of jozka.1's archives, but then hangs on boot.

What am I missing here? Or maybe someone already has the recovery.img I'm trying to prepare for flashing? Asking for help here as I am not exactly a "Linux guy". Ideally I'd like to upload Ubuntu 12.04 LTS image (with all the fancy drivers, modules etc. already installed) and new kernel to some file hosting for everyone's happy quick nvflashing ) But turns out I ain't got what it takes just yet...

I was wondering if i can dual boot ubuntu with a rooted android ROM such as AOKP? or if I do install ubuntu i am automatically stuck with stock android?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoinTheRealms:
Apology's if my instructions are a bit vague hadn't used olife in a while.

1: Install ubuntu/ android dual boot

2: get ubuntu set up and running

3: somewhere in olife there is an option to temp install clockwork mod (readme file will direct you there)

4: boot into recovery and install the rom you want(Make sure its on the external sd card prior to installing the dual boot)

5: reflash the android/ubuntu kernel (once again readme file will show you where to go)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
No, but that script's been obsolete since OLiFE was released. Use OLiFE instead.

You can use whatever Android ROM you want. You just need to download it in nvflash format (i.e. system.img, etc.) and copy the files into the images folder. Alternatively, you can manually install one via CWM as described in the previous post. OLiFE also has a feature for temporarily restoring CWM, though I don't remember exactly what it's called.

Also, OLiFE Prime Edition comes with Prime ROM included.

"2) Ubuntu/Linux Kernel:

- This will update the ubuntu kernel on your device to the version

included in this flashkit. This option is for updating just the

kernel with nvflash rather than using the blob method. This method

is also good for if you flash a bad ubuntu kernel to the device."

Interesting question, you can't with OLife but im sure it would be possible to do
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
Probably. Try replacing ubuntu.img with system.img and linux.img with boot.img (both of the 2nd ROM). There are other partitions that are used by Android though, so I don't know how it'd work out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
there are various changes you would need to make, the 2 roms should use a different data and cache so you would have to create a few new partitions (instead of the one big linux one) and also you would have to edit the roms to point to the new locations for /system /data and /cache otherwise it will just try booting the one you already have

the changes are made at a kernel level, so my suggestion would be to modify the keyboard layout that you use in ubuntu for it. there are far more reasons to have it this way than the android way.

A bit off topic but im interested to know if the tegra 3 runs Ubuntu any better then then the tegra 2, im tempted to upgrade to a tf300t when it gains Ubuntu but whether it will run Ubuntu any better the tf101 is really the deciding factor.

Hey all, quick question.

Is this screen from the eMMC installation? If so, can I get rid of it? I have CWM installed, so I don't know why this is still here every time I reboot.

I'm asking because I just tried to flash the custom JB 4.1.1 ROM by RaymanFX and I can't get past this screen.

When I restart my tablet, I have to hold the volume down button. If I don't, it will go straight to CWM. When I hold volume down, that screen comes up, and then I must hit volume down again in order to initiate the ROM boot sequence. I just got rid of Prime in hopes of getting JB up and running tonight but I guess that's not going to happen tonight.

I had Ubuntu installed a while ago but have no use for it anymore, and was hoping to get back to more of a "stock" feel. Any help or tips are much appreciated.

This is for future search/reference purposes...like keywords/tags. Since I wasn't able to find anything in this thread about the text in the image, now others will be able to.
