Alright, i'm up and running but the correct drivers aren't installed or something, adb isn't working correctly, sorry for the stupid question but are there different drivers for ubuntu to use adb?

Edit: The files I found for the install have a pre created login that's got a password on it that I don't know. User account is "Asus" if anyone has any info please let me know, otherwise i'll just wait for lilstevies files and reflash them. Thanks all

Sorry to insist on this, but can anyone replicate this issue? Is there a solution?

Thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
If you use a custom kernel, you can't use the normal procedure for the wifi drivers. Instead you need to compile them as kernel modules, like with the touchpad, and add them manually. If you try to use kernel modules from a different version, your transformer will probably crash.

Thought that looked familiar. Don't use it - I posted it before I understood how nvflash partitioning works. lilstevie has a very informative post on it shortly after that one. The config included in the zip file I made later (which includes Prime) is better. Just swap out the Prime image files for romseasyer.

You can use a custom kernel (e.g. with touchpad support) with CWM if you make your own blob file to put in the CWM zip file, or you manually flash the kernel partition under Android instead of using CWM.

That's Jhinta's image - the password is 'astf101' (off the top of my head - check his thread if I'm wrong) The username and password were in the OP, near the bottom.

I had some issues with certain versions of nvflash segfaulting on my 64-bit system. The one in the package I posted a little while ago worked for me.

Where do i find the file that you made "later" I was looking in the posts but dont see one?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
Oops, that was the one I was thinking of. Forget what I said, it's probably fine. The only difference between it and lilstevie's is the way that the space is split between the ubuntu and data partitions - you can use his if you're fine with only 4 GB of space.

I made it with a 32 GB tablet in mind, so if you're having trouble using it with a 16 GB one, just use his.

Quick question, if I used a different distribution of Linux or Ubuntu even, say Kubuntu, using the rootfs command in Linux and using that as the image for the tf101, will everything still work correctly? Other than the known issues without the new kernel?

Also was curious about the person who got Android 3.2 booting? Did you take the kernelblob and put in the flashable zip to be be able to switch to that one?

Problem with WiFi

Hi!

I have problems with connecting to wifi network, and without it, I can't install anything.

The details are too much so I opened a new thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239668
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
I changed the file many times when trying to get it to work, so I got a bit confused. If I uploaded it as part of that zip file, it should be fine.

Kubuntu and Ubuntu are only different superficially. If that's all you want, just use the ubuntu image and run 'apt-get install kubuntu-desktop'. (You might want to uninstall the Unity 2D packages first though, I forget what they're called.) This actually installs a lot of things you won't need, so if you don't have enough space for that just install the KDE Plasma workspace. If you need more space than the default setup allows, you'll need to increase the size in the nvflash configuration file (see my and lilstevie's earlier posts on this), remove the reference to ubuntu.img and reflash, then manually copy the image's contents (via a loop mount) to the partition.

If you use a completely different distro then everything should work fine, though you may need to adjust the wifi driver injection script a bit (I don't know whether or not that path differs between distros).

To switch between Android and Ubuntu, just use CWM to install the corresponding patch. You don't need to edit the zip files unless you're using a custom kernel. See post #168 for more details.

1 - I have the 1.8.4 Prime patch with zip file. How can I update android without having CWM partition to apply the update zip file?

2 - I have used the power menu built in Prime rom. I pressed Recovery and now my TF always start from linux and no more from Android unless I push power button+Vol up and select it from the menu;

3 - I still need to update my linux.img using this method:

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

(where X is your kernel part)

from android partition (or ubuntu partition). Which mmcblk0pX have I to use in my configuration? I am still not able to understand it....

Sorry if this has been covered. I'll admit I am very new to this but I did search. I am having issues with the onscreen keyboard on my ubuntu install.

Now when the system reboots I am able to use the Universal Access Preferences to open the onscreen keyboard and enter my user name. In this screen the on screen keyboard works great, however as soon as I log in I can't bring it up again.

First, thanks for improving your Windows flash kit.

You helped me earlier with windows-flash-kit v.1. (I was the first to try it out and report back to you.) Linux and Android partitions were set up properly with PRIME! v.1.8 and Ubuntu. However I could not get the firmware injector to work apparently due to adb not seeing my TF. You suggested I retry the script and I did many times but it never worked.

So I tried your new windows-flash-kit v.3 firmware injector. This time adb saw my device and the script executed completely. However when I restarted Ubuntu, wifi still did not work. I could see that the firmware injector script did push the files to the proper directory.

At that point I retried the v.3 process, but this time also including the kernel update for touchpad support. Unfortunately neither wifi nor touchpad work after reboot. I did test adb at each stage and it seemed to be working okay.

I'm using Win7 x64 with Asus Sync and Android & Java SDKs installed. I think I may want to start over and reinstall Ubuntu but leave PRIME partition the way it is. It looks like one of the options of your script does that. Can you please confirm? Thanks again!

Ubuntu.img is just a copy of the root partition. The easiest way to make one is to use the rootstock command under ubuntu. Alternatively, you can make whatever changes you want to the existing one on your TF and copy it using nvflash (or dd from Android).

You can't flash the kernel after you've started booting it. What you need to do is modify the CWM zip file and replace the blob it contains with one containing your modified kernel. The blob tools are available from androidroot.mobi, IIRC.
