[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
I'm having problems getting wifi to run. I've set up with jhintas dualboot method and replaced the normal linux boot.img in the zip with the img that was posted earlier that fixes tpuchpad. Everything works except wifi, which I have already injected the firmware and ran the fixes using the windows flash kit. Everything appears to have worked, but when i setup wpa.conf file and go to run command "sudo wpa_supplicant -i wlan0..." etc I get the error:

Could not read interface wlan0 flags: No such device

Failed to initialize driver interface

I have injected firmware multiple times, rebooted and tried again but same error each time. Anyone else experience this or know what the problem/fix is?

EDIT: switched boot.img back to stock linux and got wifi modules in, but now wifi scanning never finds and connects to APs that I have set up in .conf file, just loops endlessly through timeouts. Hoping next version of ubuntu is still dualboot and wifi works as normal :/
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
The modules are specific to the kernel used - if you use a different kernel, you need to recompile them.

Can't help you with wifi scanning, that never worked for me in the first place...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
Yea, I realized that I needed to switch back to stock kernel for wifi modules to be added easily. As for wifi, I should have used a better term than scanning. What I meant was that when I set my APs info in the wpa_supplicant.conf and run the command that initializes the supplicant file to find those APs and connect, it always just times out even though I am in range of one of the APs. Since I don't know any other method of using wifi, this ubuntu build is basically worthless for me- and it sucks. At the end of the day, I am still impressed by lilsteveie's work here and am glad someone's doing this for us. Just can't wait to see the next build lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
For those worried about the next version not supporting dual boot, that is just for the oneiric demo, things like dualboot, and undocked operation will come back. there are just bugs preventing this from occurring at present, the idea of the tech preview is to get a few eyes looking at it, but also to give an impression of things to come

Have you tested Dial-up-networking through Bluetooth?

Going on a trip next week and was hoping to take the Transformer with me and use my mobile phone as a network gateway, which is not currently possible in Android.

I can make some tests on this as soon as you release the new preview. (Still wasn't able to make the bcm4326 work correctly, even after compiling from source).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
not as of yet, I tried, but the brief test didn't work, it would connect then disconnect soon after

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
Take a look at the thread title ;) They want the BT gateway to work between Android and Ubuntu-Transformer!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vhda:
It is in fact between a Symbian phone and Transformer. If my mobile phone was Android I could use Wireless/Bluetooth tethering, like everyone else. With Symbian I can only use the DUN Bluetooth profile, which is different from creating an ad-hoc network in Bluetooth (can't remember the profile name for that).

Network-manager in Linux already implemented this and it works quite good! Although I'm also looking forward to have Ubuntu for other stuff (coding in an ARM!!! :D), my main concern at the moment is to have DUN enabled.

You could get lucky. I just picked up a transformer locally. Ubuntu went on without a hitch.

Now if I could just find all the useful info in one place instead of hoping to get lucky with thread searches.....

IE... how to use with the latest roms, get touchpad support, bluetooth, the ppa
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
You need to run it as root. It'll probably tell you it's not supported though.

what are the distro people have tried so far? anyone tried a bsd, arch, slcakware?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vhda:
Are you still using the same ?bcm4326? driver that is in your github? When I compile that kernel I'm no longer able to load the firmware. To be honest, I did not test bluetooth with the kernel that was in your original post.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vhda:
Did you test network-manager? It depends/recomends/suggests another package (dont remember the name, not @home) that contains a database of ISPs that simplifies DUN. With kppp you need to know the dial up code and login beforehand.

The package is named mobile-broadband-provider-info, which is recommended by network-manager-gnome.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cypher_zero:
I was able to get it to run in ubuntu 11.04. Make sure you put it into download mode (power off, hold down power and Vol UP for about 6 seconds). The screen will stay black but to make sure it's connected you can run

and it should show

somewhere in there. Then just run the appropriate .sh (sudo ./flash-linux-android.sh) and you should be good to go.

I may put together a comprehensive, easier to follow guide on how to do this (a 'for dummies' version if you will) - once i can actually get my WiFi working that is...

It wasn't working for me at all. I was getting the same error. What I did was reflashed completely from a fresh start, once that finished I booted and immediately pushed the firmware injector, then created the wpa_supplicant file, then used the coomands to activate it. It worked fine for me after that and yes I am on a wpa2 encryption network. Ill think hard to see if I missed any steps.

I threw together a small script for getting battery levels, as the battery meter is not working

# This is a simple script to display battery level

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
Is this using a different kernel? I only have battery, ac, and usb in power_supply. battery/capacity is permanently at 100, and the others don't have that value.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
dock_battery is only in the kernel from github.

battery/capacity should not be perm 100%, well not on either of those kernels, check battery/uevent for the full list and report that back here

That would explain it - I'm using the kernel from the flash pack (2.6.36.3-tegra-transformer-wifi).

Figures. Actually, I do remember getting a scan one time, but I haven't been able to replicate it since then. Might be specific to the location, time of day, and phase of the moon. :/

Still no luck with mine - I keep getting 'EAPOL: Supplicant port status: Unauthorized."

No reason why you can't. Just make a rootfs and flash it instead of Ubuntu. Once you've pushed the wifi modules across you can install everything else.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vhda:
And I kept thinking this meant wireless would not work...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
Well, it does in my case. iwconfig shows a blank ESSID and dhclient says 'no broadcast interfaces found'. ifconfig shows it being up but without an IP.

I think a part of it might be that I'm not really sure what settings to use in wpa_supplicant.conf. I've tried all the combinations, but none of them seem to work. I don't think I'll be able to get it working until scanning is implemented.

Ok, I must have missed pushing the firmware injector and so on. I'm going to be completely honest here: I'm not super proficient with Linux. I get by well enough most times but some of the more in-depth stuff like getting special hardware to work escapes me.

Maybe I missed it, but are there instructions on how to push the Firmware Injector, create the wpa_supplicant file and the commands to activate it? I've been over the first post several times and I don't think those instructions are in it (or I missed/didn't understand them)...

Here is my honesty for you. This is the first time I have done anything at all on Linux so its very new for me. There are instructions but not on this thread. You can either Google for them or wait for a day while I get my computer back up and running and we can go to pm's with the specific instructions for it. The firmware injector is easy, load Ubuntu till the log in screen and stay there, run the firmware injector script which should be in the pack you downloaded. Same play the nvflash script was.

dhclient by itself says 'no broadcast interfaces found'

'dhclient wlan0 -v' sends a bunch of DHCPREQUESTs and DHCPDISCOVERs before giving up when it fails to ping my gateway/router (I presume it remembers the address from the last time I used it with an open AP). As expected, the error is 'network is unreachable.'

I think my problem might be a little different to yours. Before you run dhclient, are you able to ping your gateway?

Pidgin has the same problem. As I understand it, it's due to the way network manager works. Your best bet would be to figure out a way to mount it from the terminal. This might be fixed when we can connect to wifi using a GUI, but I honestly have no idea if that'll be that case or not.

Wireless network the Debian way (using ifupdown)

Wireless network the Debian way (using ifupdown)

Edit /etc/network/interfaces

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid your-ssid
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-proto WPA2
wpa-psk your-password-obtained-from-wpa_passphrase
wpa-ap-scan 2

If your network requires TKIP, then use the following:

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid your-ssid
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-proto WPA2
wpa-pairwise TKIP
wpa-group TKIP
wpa-psk your-password-obtained-from-wpa_passphrase
wpa-ap-scan 2

wpa-psk is obtained from:

wpa_passphrase your-ssid

You'll need to input your password and press enter, after which the command will show the psk value to be used.

Enabling wireless network:

ifup wlan0

Disabling wireless network:

ifdown wlan0

If you're having problems with certain software (Pidgin, for example), try the following:

initctl stop network-manager

Observation

I just found that the transformer can enter a low power state while running Ubuntu. The keyboard goes off, and you have to press a button on the actual tablet (e.g. volume controls) to turn it back on. I don't know if this is sleep or something else, but at any rate it may be useful to know about.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickatnight11:
EDIT: Nevermind, I read the man page. You will be prompted for the passphrase if you don't specify it in the command line (which is more secure, as it's not stored in your command history.)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
no, the tegra2 does not
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
Thanks for the reply mate

Also isn't the tegra 2 really tri core not dual core because of the arm7 used when idling ?

Could that extra core be utilized at all ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
that third core is not a full core, so no, arm7 is armv4 while the main CPU complex is armv7.

the axf files present in the android system are AVP binaries, the AVP is what the arm7 core is called from userland.

The only time where the AVP is used for anything outside these binaries is during boot, the bootrom and parts of the bootloader run on it

Oh I see thank you Stevie

Really I think people like you should write instruction manuals would save people like me from having to ask so many questions :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
Wifi:

try doing it via the CLI first. Note that many people haven't been able to get it working for WEP/WPA, only for open.

Unity sidebar:

That happens because hardware acceleration isn't supported. Use Unity 2D, Gnome 2, KDE, etc. instead of Unity.

NTFS:

Use 'lsmod' or 'cat /proc/filesystems' - if the module is loaded it'll show up there. If not, you'll need to recompile the kernel with the required module. (And update the CWM zip to use the new kernel)

XFS, CIFS, ISO, UDF, etc. are not supported by default - you'll need to build modules for these as well if you want them.

No. This is a hardware thing - if Android doesn't support it, then neither will Ubuntu.

Sdl rgb->bgr

Hi all!

I have some strange issues :)

First: When I try to start icewm from gdm it's just takes me back to gdm again. Well I can solve this problem with starting TWM and from there start icewm, it's just weird.

Second: When I try to start (it seems only SDL based) applications like: wesnoth, sinuglarity, the colors are changing like this: rgb->bgr when I toggle to fullscreen everything is OK. Now it's a bigger problem because when I try to run my own SDL applications, I got the same problem.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
Try looking at the logs for icewm or X. IIRC, the kernel reports some features of the graphics chip as being available even though they're not implemented, so some stuff doesn't work quite right. (e.g. RGB/BGR mix ups).

The RGB/BGR inversion happens for the startup animation of KDE, and for rdesktop in full screen as well. I think it may be fixed in the next version of the kernel, since it has several patches for graphics functionality (incl. implementing hardware acceleration).

adb interfaces with the Tegra 2 chipset, which is in the tablet. You should really try using it while you're still under Android to make sure you can get it working.

Like the other poster said, if you're not comfortable working with adb or Ubuntu, you're probably better off waiting until we've finished ironing out the bugs. Keep in mind that this is still in development - it's only an alpha release.
