thanks! checking...

yes.. the keyboard appears however it only shows the layout and borders but no numbers or letters on the keys which makes it.... unusable :/

edit: after a few restarts of the adb shell it worked now ...

lets see how long for lol

not for much long ... virtual keyboard wont work anymore... i wanna install wifi now and doing some other things ... however for these i desperately NEED the virtual keyboard working on ubuntu .... so far i cant enter anything...

i try to reboot it now maybe this will do the trick ... other than that ubuntu runs like a charm very impressed by this except the annoying keyboard thing ofc.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxtrot5:
Probably similar to what I'm seeing. If mtrack is anything like evdev, it only cares about the absolute events, but the elan driver only gives absolute events (with coordinates) when there are multiple (2) fingers. Seems like a neat workaround.

I feel like all roads lead to the elan driver being modified to support the multitouch protocol more correctly with evdev/Xi2.1/etc. But I am hoping evdev accepting relative coordinates would be a quick hack for basic touchpad support.

I am guessing relative coordinates are disabled in evdev for touchpads because touchpads report both absolute and relative? And that would just be confusing to process.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxtrot5:
Those who would like a quick and dirty kernel patch for the touchpad. It is attached. No zoom or two finger scroll support at the moment. What this does is disables the absolute event reporting. This hints to the evdev driver to use the relative coordinates. Works great for me for now.

I reported absolute coordinates for one finger touch, but this gave a really poor experience. Cursor jumping around when releasing/re-touching with a finger (completely understandable). Seems like it would take more processing than I care to do at the moment to make it work right. I'll look a bit further into the evdev driver if I have time and see where things go wrong.

Shouldn't be much of a stretch to translate the multitouch gestures to scroll events by simulating a scroll wheel, but I don't want to go in the wrong direction with this development. I'd rather multitouch was supported properly.

i still have problems to get the wlan to work. according to this thread it should be possible but im afraid it isnt!

i did this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15528059&postcount=252

but even if i exchange eth0 with wlan0 all i get is: wlan0 error while getting interface flags no such device

so that obviously means that wlan is not running but it should be according to that guide?!

how do i get the wlan to work? i need the wlan working as i want to install few things, also a nice onscreen keyboard. without wlan ubuntu is useless.

very very very annoying stuff. i was thinking it would all work by yesterday evening and now im delayed a whole day :( damn :(

how do you connect to a wep network is it the same as wpa or is it even possible ? thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mclaren2:
that was it... :D:cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillcX10:
This is possible by adding another entry to wpa_supplicant.conf, or creating another wpa_supplicant_new.conf file, specifically for your new WEP access point.

Here's my entry:

network={

ssid="YourSSIDHere"

key_mgmt=NONE

wep_key0=YourKeyHere

wep_tx_keyidx=0

}

Make the relevant changes with your own credentials.

I am writing this reply, logged into Ubuntu on my Transformer and connected to a WEP access point.

What if I want to connect to a network that has only mac filtering enabled? I followed the directions in the links in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16145924&postcount=53 (of course I didn't take care of the part concerning wpa ) but my wifi is not working....

when I issue ifconfig I get 3 devices listed: lo, wlan0 and wlan0:avahi and the last one is getting an ip address that is not part of my network when I use dhclient to get an ip address (something like 164.xxx.xxx.xxx ). I even tryed to assign an ip address manually both to wlan and to wlan:avahi but when I try to ping my router or some other ip address in my network I get no response...

thanks

Gnagnone
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillcX10:
With regards to the mac filtering question, I honestly don't know.

However, I do see the wlan0:avahi entry always after startup. I followed lilstevie's suggestion for startup WiFi connection by adding entries to network interfaces, as outlined here.

After startup, I need to issue "sudo dhclient wlan0" to obtain an IP address, which in turn also removes the wlan0:avahi entry in ifconfig.

There's probably a more elegant way to do this, and I'm sure some general Googling around wpa_supplicant setup would turn up some ideas.

The answer can be taken from the log you posted:

Can anyone post a video of this native ubuntu with tegra2 drivers running on an overclocked Tegra (1.6GHz) and a Class 10 MicroSD.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
Overclocking has not yet been achieved - it needs to be implemented in the kernel, and right now we're more focused on getting the touchpad to work. Also, Ubuntu is *much* faster running from the eMMC than a class 10 microSD - 20 sec boot time vs 4 min.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belzebub40k:
You have to patch the kernel sources posted by lilstevie and compile it on your own.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel90:
ugh. Nothing can ever be easy lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
Ubuntu updates will work normally - it isn't possible for them to break anything.

For Android updates, just make sure you don't wipe CWM. If you're using Prime instead of stock then that's also a safe bet.

It's definitely possible. When and if it happens is a separate question. I lack the ability to do so, but as I understand it everyone seems to be focused on the touchpad right now. After that I imagine the battery meter or audio would follow. Really what it comes down to is which features the guys with the skills want the most.

It is a work in progress. If you want easy, come back in a year. Compiling the kernel is a necessity if you want any of the modules anyway (e.g. for CIFS support). BTW, it's actually possible to compile the kernel on the netbook, so you can skip the cross compiler and most of the problems associated with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxtrot5:
Well, here's my kernel put into a linux.img file with the touchpad enabled. Still some annoying quirks such as registering unexpected single clicks when you touch the touchpad. You can reflash with it. If you're braver you can simply dd to your kernel partition aka:

sudo dd if=linux.img of=/dev/mmcblk0pX

(where X is your kernel part)

For me with the dual boot script, it's mmcblk0p9. But if you screw this up, you're hosed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stumpsalot:
Thanks! That worked like a charm but now am having to reconfigure wifi. It will no longer authenticate with my access point. I've got some more trial and error to do.

On another note, there is a BT5 ARM that is built to run in chroot. Is there a way to install natively using nvflash? I've been lightly looking at the BT5 and Ubuntu ARM builds and they are both very similar and would love to get BT5 native.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxtrot5:
Probably need the kernel module for the broadcom driver from my build. If your lsmod is empty, you'll need to use the one I've attached (bcm.zip). Or better yet, just unzip this in your root (/) as root. It will create the lib/modules directory for this kernel.

Could also be firmware, if you attach your log from dmesg it should become more obvious.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
How?, btw, that would be AWESOME :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
1) Those drivers have not been released

2) Those drivers are hardfloat.

Those meego drivers have been a problem with people asking, they will not work with ubuntu as ubuntu is softfloat. however the L4T drivers which have been out for longer will work, but require a newer kernel

Audio already works with the sources posted, just not the built-in speakers, battery meter is actually quite a big job to get working. Acceleration will probably be the next thing to be done after I get purelinux to work a bit better.

purelinux update which is what I am working on at the moment has u-boot as the bootloader and will use the entire flash rather than just the 4GB
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stumpsalot:
I ended up just re-compiling the kernel with the patch you posted previously with my kernel and that sorted it all out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
I'll buy my Transformer Tab in the next 2 or 3 weeks, but one question: is the dualboot Android - Ubuntu possible (for example like dualboot WM6.5 and Android on the HTC Leo (HD2))? So that you boot one OS normally (Android) and the other (Ubuntu) from the µSD-card?

And is it possible to boot from an USB-flash-drive?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
While I don't know what dual boot is like on the others you mentioned, you can dual boot on the Transformer by booting into recovery mode (i.e. holding on Vol_Down + Power) and selecting which OS you want to run. You'll get the best performance by running both off the eMMC, but you can run Ubuntu of a (micro)SD card or USB if you want, you just need to edit the boot script to mount the correct media (if it's a microSD card, just use the script from Jhinta's thread).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Thanks, this helps me. :)

Is it possible to say "Well, I want to use 8GB for Android and the all the rest for Ubuntu"?

Flashing itself shouldn't be a big problem I guess (I flash my SGS every 2 or 3 days ;)). I'll read some threads here on XDA and then I should be able to do it. :)

Thanks a lot for your help!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
if you were using any other boot device all you would need to do is edit the kernel commandline, the boot device is handed down with the root= tag.

at the moment it is not possible to use more than 4GB (or less than 4GB) for ubuntu at the moment due to how nvflash works
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
Ah ok, I thought this one used an init script, same as Jhinta's.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
heh well everything has an "init script" but no this isn't a modified one, the initrd in this is a standard ubuntu initrd
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultravox:
does that means that dual boot will no longer be an option?

For as much I need to have ubuntu (and libreoffice) running, Android is the primary os.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnagnone:
I am still having problems with wireless... I will post here what I did hoping that someone can help me:

1 - Downloaded the package from the first post, a nvflash version of prime and the ubuntu package from the first post

2 - I've put my tf in apx mode and executed the script for ubuntu and android in dual boot with android as my default choice

3 - after the script finished I executed the inject-firmware script while my tablet was in linux

4 - then I followed this instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16145924&postcount=53

these are the commands I executed from the console:

sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "nameofmyrouter"
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
sudo dhclient wlan0

in the result when I issue ifconfig in my terminal, I can see the devices wlan0 and wlan0:avahi, wlan0:avahi has as inet addr: 169.254.7.182, my network is configured to use 192.168.1.xxx and there's mac filtering.

in case you ask everything is working perfectly when I connect to the same network from android... I even tryed to connect to the network in my office with the same results.... :(

any help is highly appreciated

thanks

Gnagnone

UPDATE:

I installed everything again with flash-linux.sh, then after the installation completed I executed the firmware injector, now if I try to configure my network with iwconfig wlan0 essid "blabla" then I try to see if it was set by typing iwconfig wlan0 doesn't have any essid...
