Post up your interfaces file and confirm that you ran the command to translate your psk into hex and used that in the interfaces file. This will help us help you.

Again, forgive my ignorance. But I can't find where it gives instruction to boot via combo of buttons to 2nd os. Is this option a given in the kit or do I need to do something special?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trialsrider1:
Its the same button combo as booting to recovery
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
Read OP dude. Then you won't be so "ignorant".

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
I found regular combo didnt work you might be the same so do this

Power button while holding vol down

Dont press vol up instead wait

little screen pops up for erase user data

press vol down

will say canceling erase user data

then cold booting linux

should then go to android or linux whatever way round you put them :)

Ok on tf i typed sudo wpa_passphrase your_SSID your_password hung at (reading passphrase from stdin)

On my netbook running natty it was fine so i used that psk as i assumed its the same network same key

My interfaces file is as follows

(number sign) interfaces (5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp

wpa-driver wext

wpa-ssid Danzano

wpa-key-mgmt WPA2-PSK

wpa-proto RSN

wpa-pairwise CCMP TKIP

wpa-group CCMP TKIP

wpa-psk 06646667................................

wpa-ap-scan 1

and ive tried re doingt it several different ways from all the dif threads

maybe i did a bad flash? or firmware injector did not run successfully?

and 300mb of ram in the android os im sure thats not right?

Also seeing we dont have recovery anymore how would i manually flash clemysn 21a?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
Just checked lib firmware etc its all there yet still nothing

so its not drivers it not bad flash bad router?

or bad config file or bad interfaces file?

and if i had net i would of just asked a mate to ssh and have a look but noooooo lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhinta:
what about internet share over usb , then you can do ssh .
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
so a app like pda .net from the netbook to the tf ? then what set up tightvnc and ssh then get someone to help ? sounds like alot of work and going through 50 dif configs hasnt exactly been fun cant see that working out much better funny thing is

drivers are there ifconfig shows wlan0

but anyway i try get it to work nothing

Also i can now confirm my router is WPA2-TKIP+AES

i just tried the method to set it up to start on boot that didnt work either and yes i had supplicant conf in place before writing out the executable etc

Disable touchpad device

Hi all,

First i would like to say many thanks to lilstevie for this option on our transformer.

I have followed all the instructions and now i have ubuntu working with wifi perfectly, but is there some option to disable the touchpad from the dock?

Every time i write on the dock i touch it and the focus on the current windows changes to other location, or worse things.

I still don't rebuilt the kernel to allow mouse movement with the touchpad, but if i touch it, a mouse button action is sended to the system.

I try to disable it throught synaptics but seems that the touchpad device is not controlled by it.

Can someone help me?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
be thankfull to have wifi

i would trade glady for touchpad being annoying and wifi working lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] residentorca:
I really prefer the other option (from Jhinta's post below) where you just flash either Android.zip or Ubuntu.zip from CWM Recovery to change back and forth. After flashing Android.zip, I then flash the latest Prime overclock kernel. At least you have more than one option.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnavisca:

No, you just made a completely wrong interfaces file, even after I created an extremely detailed explanation of the file and how to use it. You even managed to put in an entry that doesn't even exist, one that none of the guides ever even suggest. In all honesty, if you can't even understand that much, youd be better off not using Ubuntu at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhonicUK:
I've had a search through the thread as best as the XDA search and Google search will let me - but still pardon me if this has already been asked:

Is there a way I can install this on a MicroSD card and dual boot between Android on the eMMC and Ubuntu on the MicroSD? I'd love to try this (but I don't want to use the chroot + VNC, I want the video performance) and don't want to lose Android in the process.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
Thats the last setup i tried which was a combination of everything because i was getting angry lol i went to bed shortly after

Look would anyone be willing for me to send them my psk passwords ip router everything in a pm and help me set this up properly?

Just like a re write so i could copy and paste the file to where its needed seeings ive screwed it up so many times would be much appreciated :)

Also mb02 i tried your config down to the letter and did exactly as you said and got absolutly nothing thats when all the experimenting started

This is what i have now done

interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp

wpa-driver wext

wpa-ssid Danzano

wpa-ap-scan 2

is this correct now ?

my router is TKIP+AES

its still not working and ive gone through now 3 or 4 times checking re checking re doing etc etc
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vhda:
Have you even looked into /var/log/syslog to see if any errors are being reported?

If you have another Linux machine I suggest that you connect to that router there and run the command "sudo wpa_cli". Within that run "status" and it should report the values you need to use in the setup mb02 shown.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
My other machine is also running natty in dual boot its connect to the internet but when i tried what you suggested says could not connect to wpa_supplicant - re-trying

ill check for errors now and report back to you :)

Listen up n00bs!

Unless you have an understanding of linux and how it works then dont start *****ing about it not working on your TF.

This thread isnt a "HOW TO" its a "DEV" thread. Meaning its "In Development" and is pre-alpha and could actually bork your TF.

Stop asking "how can i" and "why cant i".

Just wait for those who actually DEV to finish the port/setup/testing and to post the finished article.

Firstly, I have made a few spelling and grammar changes to your post so that is actually makes sense. Please don't take offence, I was thinking of other people who might struggle to follow it. I have highlighted some of the errors for you.

Secondly, I am not demeaning anyone. If some-one feels demeaned by me pointing out the obvious inappropriate location of their posts then they need to grow up, stop acting like a child and learn where their question should and shouldn't be asked.

Thirdly, I was never a n00b, and am the almighty, I do not profess to be a "rom/code god" but I do know, understand and adhere to the rules of XDA-Dev forums.

On the "noob"'s defense: I don't see any comment related with this development:

- Latest version of lightspark has some improvements regarding ARM platformts. Is anyone testing?

- Although I have a patch that apparently makes network-manager work with the current driver, is there anyone working on alternative solutions? There other alternative drivers in linux-wireless, has anyone tested them?

- Linux is still hanging sometimes, at least for me. Is anyone else experiencing this?

- What about 2D/3D X11 acceleration?

Patch?!!

I've been scratching my head on this for a week. Hell I even borked my Pad because (I had no idea that my 64bit abootimg- had to be renamed abootimg-unknown in order to complie the linux.img!) All of that aside this network-manager is kicking my heart in the ass. I snatched every driver from android and adb pushed them all myself (didn't even realize there was a script!). If you have a patch this could help me make strides and i could get things moving. Or a last bit of advice for the person who tried every script, wpa_supplicant, interfaces, driver, CLI combination!

thanks in advance
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bz2:
Indeed, let's try to go back to the actual development. I do not own a Transformer (my purchase decision depends on whether Linux can be made to work on it) so I've got some questions about the current state of affairs.

For example, I'd love to know if someone's tried the linux4tegra binary drivers. It comes with some binary drivers, including an X one.

Also, has anyone considered setting up a wiki or something similar with a detailed list of what works and what doesn't, and perhaps some detailed installation instructions? All I've been able to gather so far has been from forum and blog posts.

Firmware was put through fine it can see my router it can get my psk it just could not connect no matter what config I tried so I'm downloading the patched kernel and ill do a clean nvflash

Just so I don't cause any conflicts are the drivers in that kernel or do I still have to use the firmware push script ?

Just Wana make sure I do it right. : )

Should I download zip or tar? What I mean is can I use it with the flash kit if so where to put it and if tar do I just install it like a regular kernel in linux?

Would prefer nvflash almost broke my netbook the last time I made a custom kernel for it lol

hi all TF Ubuntu users!

i did manage to install ubuntu on my TF, did some changes, got rid of this stupid_and_annoying unity, installed awesome, did manage to connect to my router (i've used my own configs from my laptops, but found this for my friend - and it just works : http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1072-ubuntu-on-the-transformer&p=23850&viewfull=1#post23850 and remeber to load (inject) modules - you can see if there is any wifi-capable interface by : 'iwconfig' or 'ifconfig -a'), did some changes to key mappings, all in all - ubuntu works just great! no problem at all with stability, with speed (i'm so amazed - it's even faster than my eeepc! ) only problems are: flash (not a biggie :P) and sound (yepp.... ) everything else for me to have my work done is in there and its working well (rdesktop, ssh, shell, etc. )

BUT! (there's allways some but(t)s included ;p )

i cannot boot to android anymore - i've used nvflashable revolver 3.2, used the script to flash both system (linux first) and - none of the key combinations were working. I'm mainly using the linux, so no problem for me, but for my friend it's a big disadvantage. From what i can see - the android system was flashed correctly, but there is no option to boot android anymore - anyone did manage to have dual boot working with revolver 3.2 ?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l.weglarczyk:
hey, i'm just wondering - how dualboot works?

here are some thoughts of mine ...

[brainstorm mode ]

if we do have few partitions on our emmc, ubuntu on one and android on the other theyre never change its place, so...when system is booting there is *something* to tell from where the system is being booted, right? and from which partition it has to boot..soo...is it possible to use i.e recovery to choose between two systems (in i.e form of two zip files, in which we will be having ONLY information from where to boot, not the whole systems to flash - it could take forever... ) is it possible to switch recovery mode allways on ? or i.e use CWM to choose between these two files?

[/brainstorm mode]

sorry for bad english - this is not my first language, hell, it's not even second :d i hope, that i made my self quite clear and understandable :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickatnight11:
Actually you can, but you need to flash CWM Recovery back to apply the update ZIP. More information here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1237772

Essentially you back up your partitions with nvflash, flash the CWM Recovery, apply the ZIP, and restore the Ubuntu-booting recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Ok, I think I'll try using Ubuntu on my TF. :)

But just to go sure:

- This will wipe my data -> ok, I've already done a backup so I'll have no problem?

- I'm currently running Revolver 3.2.1 -> should be a 'full ROM' (as mentioned in the first post)?

- system.img, boot.img, recovery.img should be copied to Images/. But wehere's this folder?

- "flash-linux-android.sh for installing android and linux dual boot" -> I want a dualboot-system, Android should be the default system. So I take this one and flash it through NVFLASH?

- "restore-default.sh" -> I have to take this if I ever want to 'remove' Ubuntu and to use Android only, I'll get the default values for EMMC (standard-ASUS-values)

- "Boot into linux": I have the keyboard dock, so I shouldn't have any problems.

Second post:

- Flash kit for Linux: this is for Linux on my PC, right? :o (I'm running Win7 x64 and Ubuntu 11.04 x64 as dualboot system on my PC).

- To toggle between Android and Ubuntu I just have to press Volume down and then volume up (for the no-default-OS, the default OS can be booted without pressng any buttons)?

Thanks in advance! :)

(sorry for some *stupid* questions but I've never flashed Ubuntu on any Android device ;))

Last but not least:

THANKS

to lilstevie for 'porting' Ubuntu to our TF!! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickatnight11:
- Your data will be fine. If you do it right, you'll shrink one of the Android partitions to make room for the Ubuntu partitions. No data loss.

- Should be fine, regardless of the ROM.

- You run that script, which will perform all of the necessary nvflash commands.

- Correct.

- Correct.

Yes. If you don't want to install Ubuntu on your machine, you can run it in a VM Guest (I recommend VirtualBox) and use USB-passthrough to access the Transformer from the VM. If you want help doing this, though, create a thread in QA.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:

Take the time to read through this thread, as this has been answered. There's no hardware graphics acceleration, so Unity doesn't work at the moment. When you log in, select Ubuntu Classic.

There's plenty of info in the thread about WiFi and TouchPad. If you have issues, create a thread in QA. This is still a dev alpha, so very little is going to work "out of the box."

Put the transformer in APX-mode and run the .sh script from the Linux PC you have the Transformer plugged into. The .sh script is simply running nvflash commands, so you're welcome to open it up in a Text Editor to see what it's doing.
