Anybody got WPA2-PSK Networks to connect?

I tried multiple times, even by redoing step2/3 to change initial network configuration. It comes close to a connection, and in wpa_gui I can see all of the available ones. But after pressing connect it doesn't.

Also, if I make it an open network, I can't seem to browse on the internet. I tried Firefox and Konqueror.

Do you guys have the same issues? Would it work in LilSteves Ubuntu? Without Internet, it would be quite useless.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
No problem for me, just deleted some lines I dont remember which one, look at you wpa_supplicant.conf on Android to see what line you doesn't need.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ChrisTran206:
I ran the installer but as soon as it boots the first time, I get to the ubuntu logon screen and then it continuously flashes between the login screen and the initial boot console output. Seems as if the GUI is crashing and restarting itself because moving the mouse and pushing keys through the keyboard work for the few seconds while it cycles.

Anyone else see this? I attempted installs three times, same result. Just continuously reloading the GUI.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] vietchinh:
It did happend to me to.

With lilstevie kernel it happens.

In jhinta kernel it doesn't

REinstall it and it should fix it.

+ i had Open-gl on.

My question: how to install / fix dpad?

I doesnt work 0.o
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] P500:
WPA2 Connection

I finally got WiFi working by comparing the wpa_supplicant.conf file and changing ap_scan to 1 instead of 2.

I can ping google.com via terminal, but I'm still unable to browse on the internet via Firefox or Konqueror. Any ideas on this?

Hi! I Created the zramswap.conf file, but when I boot there is message, that stopping the initializing zramswap FAIL. What can I do?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] P500:
could you elaborate your method a bit?

Did you ADD this section below the Touchscreen InputClass?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kennyMC:
will you update your image to ubuntu 12.10?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
For me I did the upgrade to 12.10 but now I cant boot anymore so be carrefull.

Firsttime it booted in text mod I think it was graphic driver problem and then it doesnt boot anymore.

Hey,

sorry for that long delay between today and the last update. I tried about a trillion solutions to work around the WiFi and No-Dock problem and i decided that the best way is to use openbox and xterm. I work the last three nights on it and now it's finnish. At the moment i upload it to XDA-Fileserver. I also have done a million bugfixes and little changes. What this mean for you? It's the same like before only better and with an onscreen keyboard. So please --> I NEED TESTERS =D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
i wanted to go try this new version but the one on XDA-Fileserver says "sep-6-2012". is the new version up?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
it's up in 4hours ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
Hmm every time I try downloading gives me 404 error
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] delphiki:
Same here...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xhexx:
there is no file

Ooops! File or Folder not found! the famous 404 error!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
sorrz for that .. still reuploading it ... need 5hours ...

at this point i want to thank t-online germanz for there highspeed internet of 15kbits upspeed ... -.-
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
nope still no good. sorry mate. stuck at 256,597k, while last upload went up to 258,xxxk. still file not found
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] delphiki:
It's still uploading, just wait.

Refresh the page, you'll see the file size change.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
okaz file is up but it still isnt downloadable ... this error is caused by xdafileserver.nl and i already messaged the hoster ... sorry again ... i will update thread when file is accessable ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
got it .. file is saved in .tar.bz2 but the webpage onlz knows .tar.gz ... i renamed file and now zou can download it ... please rename the file with ending .tar.gz ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
thanks for the great work. im' downloading it now. how to use without dock? same as before or it's a new command?

edit:

flashing now. 1.1g unzip. much bigger then it was before 500mb
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
just flash it ...

boot it ..

do what tf told you =D

yeah ... thats caused by openbox and gui **** ...

used space is only about 550mb ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
ok 1st boot got the matchbox-keyboard and a gui.

trying to setup wifi and says "unable to load icui18n " cannont load livrary icui18n: (libcui18n.so.48: cannon open shared object file: no such file or directory)"

wpa_gui starts but scan shows nothing

edit:

i ended up adb push my own wpa_supplicant.conf file to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf to get the wifi working.

after that it rebooted and went into apx instead of standard reboot

edit:

finally finished installing. using lightdm & gnome combo for gui. lightdm starts up allows you to select a virtual keyboard (on board), but shows up black. after some research found onboard do not install a dependency required to run.

fix black virtual keyboard "onboard" issue:

sudo apt-get install python-gi-cairo

selected Jhanti kernel did not install:

uname -a

Linux Transformer 2.6.36.4 #5 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 4 22:21:17 EST 2011 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

p.s. i'm just trying to give bug reports. hope you don't find me annoying
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
have you double clicked scan button?

okay thats strange ... witch kernel do you use?

i got the same error but scan works for me ...

i think i add an autocopy script for wpa-config ....
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
i edited my post from before and found a few more bugs. onboard keyboard, and kernel wont install
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
for onboard you need the whole gnome package set --> sudo apt-get install gnome -y

kernel will be checked ...

sems to be unable to install from within ubuntu itself...

edit: onboard package is fixed now .. thanks ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
if you don't mind i can upload my modifed version of OLiFE sbk2 that will install jhanti kernel

(i just upload your selfimage.img to partition 5)

what login / gui combo do you recommend?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Korumera:
just to make sure the link is:

http://www.xdafileserver.nl/linux-net-installer/
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
yup that's the link. dont forget to rename the ext from

tar.gz

to

tar.bz2

does anyone know how to get the cursor to show?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zuli007:
So I decided to flash ubuntu to my tf101 but i have a questions.

I have ubuntu and Asus sbk2 so I downloaded OLiFE for sbk2, I changed net-installerv06 name to .bz2, extracted, changed name to "ubuntu.img" and copy into olife/images.

I Want to run ubuntu from SD-CARD (class 10), after run OLiFE there will be an ubuntu installer that ask where put it ?

If no i must change it in config files of OLiFE ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Brancaleone:
Hi folks (I like classic cartoons :D),

thanks to NoDiskNoFun for his Approach. As for me, it saved a lot of time setting up a new file system using debootstrap.

Errors, I troubled during/after installation:

Kernel compiling doesn't work at all. First, it's not compiling. You have to remove the -Werror in bcm-Makefile first. After that, my kernel didn't start due to to "Filesystem is readonly", so it can't make the /dev - entries like it should. I'm not sure, if it is initrd or kernel. Therefore I changed to Jhinta Standard kernel - its booting, but takes a while.

Next - Wifi didn't work. You can set it up manually, but wpa_gui won't find anything. Running it as root showed networks, but I wasn't able to connect (Actually, it did connect, but never got an IP, leaving it quite useless). I edited /etc/hosts and added the hostname - now it seems working. (Don't forget to delete the lines in /etc/network/interfaces and wpa_supplicant.conf)

Touchpad doesn't work - change to Jhinta.

Sound - all messed up. Playing mp3 freezes the Tab - sometimes. I tried Guayadeque, VLC and Rhythmsoft.

GDM is buggy - sometimes the window doesn't show anything. You have to make the input "blindly". I Think, I'll get rid of it and move on to direct boot.

Anyway - thanks for the image.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] El Quedro:
The 0.5 installer gave me some troubles, but the 0.6 is working pretty good! I was now able to select a access point for WiFi. However, the gui gives you the wrong impression. If you enter the wrong ssid or credentials then the wifi will report that the connection was disconnected.

If you have the correct ssid and credentials then the gui will be hanging on 'identifying <ssid>'. I don't think this a big issue, but maybe a message before the window should be okay ;)

I have installed the gnome package. But I have some questions about it:

Gnome The normal gnome session does start up, but only shows the desktop (no panels)

Gnome-classic Does work, including panels. However, the window manager crashes when the terminal throws a Bell.

Metacity The background of kdm stays showing.

Is it possible to just install any other window manager through apt-get? Or are those totally different versions from the window managers that comes with the installer?

Also, chromium-browser installs fine, but the webpages are all white. I looks like the pages are visited, but are not rendered ..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
yes .. use apt-get to install whatever you want ... script itself does the same ...

try lightdm .. for me gnome-classic and chrome works butter-smooth with lightdm ...

wpa will be fixed perfectly in V1.0 ... its still beta ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zuli007:
Hello!

I tried to flash net-install. On stock asus rom everythings was ok, but i have ARHD 3.6 with CWM Recovery.

I have SBK2 TF101, and when i flash with modified OLiFE i have error :

"...

sending file: ./tmp/linux.img

\ 9265152/9265152 bytes sent

./tmp/linux.img sent successfully

./images/boot.img is too large for partition

command failure: create failed

Nvflash started

[resume mode]"

Of course partitions are formatted and tablet works only in APX mode.

boot.img have 9437184 bytes (backuped before flash ubuntu). In dualboot.cfg, BCT partition is "size=3145728".

How large boot.img must be ? Can I change BCT size ? If yes, how size would be optimal ?

Regards
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
kernels are usually 9mb.. cwm is a kernel not boot.img. don't try to flash it as a boot.img or u might brick.

use the one i attached
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zuli007:
So, i`m wrong when i copy boot.img from backup (created in OLiFE > backup/android) to olife/images ?

UPDATE.

I used boot.img from previous post (thanks). Linux boot normally but android hangs up at asus bootlogo (First).

How i can take good boot.img from rom ? Can I unpack it from blob file inserted into ARHD zip update package?

Thanks for help, im begginer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
i had the same problem before... let olife flash the prime rom.. make sure both Ubuntu and Android boots. cause it's gotta make the system folders and everything. go back into olife and use advanced option and flash clockworkmod. then flash custom rom file.

double check OLiFE script for sbk2... for advanced.sh

make sure this line is in the bottom. i ran into this problem before.

./bins/nvflash -r --download $PARTITION ./tmp/temp.img

and not

./bins/nvflash -r $PARTITION ./tmp/temp.img

I chose enlightenment as my desktop environment but once I log in, it gives me a black screen with a few purple and green streaks through it
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
when logged in for the 1st time, were you able to select language? and setting type(minimal, netbook, normal, ex.... don't remeber the options)

it's possbile you might have composite option on causing the streaks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zuli007:
x3maniac thanks for help! Now android and linux boots normally. Time to test :)

Question - How to login without keyboard ? I tried to create account without password but install script dont allow to do this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
adb shell

passwd -d YOURUSERNAME

will delete the password from username

or if you use LightDM as login manager.

adb shell

apt-get install onboard
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cpu999:
So I log in, the setup works. I chose the second option(something-home) turned on everything else and I get the streaks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
if you can adb into your device try running uname -a and see if the kernel is 2.6 or 3.0. you might need to run jhanti kernel to get composite running. which is 3.0. i don't remember which part of this thread but he had the kernel in /Linux_for_Tegra/selfimage.img which is jhanti kernel and you call dd the image into your recovery partition.

sorry if you feel like i'm highjacking the tread @nodisknofun

i created a new tool to dual boot instead of having to do it with OLiFE. SBK2 devices only. i will be adding kernel injection on my next version up if you don't mind waiting for that. [Win32/64][Dual Boot] Tubuntu - Dual boot 1 click installer SBK2 Only!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Arathon:
First thanks you devs for bringing this to our device, then i'll start with a nooby question: with this version of "ubuntu" can i install the usual software in ubuntu software center or i need modified version for arm? i mean can i install gimp, libreoffice octave ....

Sorry if someone asked my same question (searched in the thread and found nothing) and for my poor english.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
yes you would need. a compiled version for arm type devices.

apt-get install PROGRAMNAME works like all other debian based ubuntu

you would have to check the respoitory to see if the apps you want are in there

gimp and libre office works vai apt-get install
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wtfcr0w:
I went ahead and took the plunge, installed ubuntu and it works great.

Only issue I have is: I booted into android and wanted to reboot to ubuntu, held the power button, clicked reboot, then recovery. Now I cannot get back into android for the life of me. I tried going back into apx, then hard reboot, tried rebooting while holding vol -, nothing on the screen. Just jumps to kernel boot.

Any ideas? I really dont want to flash this thing again. I think I had to do it about 5 times and peed my pants a bit due to a panic that I bricked it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
did you boot into the acutal android and hit "reboot recovery"?

this causes the boot loop to recovery.

try this

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wtfcr0w:
Gave it a shot with no success. I guess I'll give it one more flash and try to never hit that button again. Thanks for your help though!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] djlenoir:
I am trying to get v0.6 working. I am flashing it fine with x3maniac's Tubuntu installer for SBK2 devices. It comes up the first time with wpa_gui but I am not able to get any configuration working. Normally, my router uses WPA2/TKIP, but I have tried to disable it entirely so that the network was wide open. Nothing I have tried allows me to connect. Any suggestions on what to try next?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zuli007:
Did you try reboot after add network? I must always do reboot after setup network.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] st0nedpenguin:
This post was the key in getting the wifi working for me. It looks like it's not working but if you just close the wpa_gui window once it hangs on identifying it should start downloading packages fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] djlenoir:
Thank you both. I simply did not try to reboot or let it proceed. I was hyper-focused on what wpa-gui was suggesting. The interesting thing is that it appears that the gui is designed to make a connection for you and even show the IP address that you get assigned. No big deal, it is working great now that I know... downloading packages as I type this.

Great work. Hi i am a noob and i need help to get kubuntu on my tf101 G

But with the linux net installer.img i cant get it to boot.

Can someone guide me step by step please i love kubuntu on my pc and i like it on my lovely tf101g
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] djlenoir:
I was able to get Synaptics Package Manager installed, then Ubuntu Software Center and Firefox. Responding from within Ubuntu now, so that is a huge plus. The touchpad does not work and the keyboard does not support F1-F12 I think. The network icon is not correct (but I know that was already mentioned) and performance is pretty slow, but acceptable. Is there a way to validate that hardware acceleration is working? I don't think sound is working either but that is probably because I enabled everything in alsamixer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
touchpad:

edit /etc/X11/Xorg.conf

Section "InputClass"

MatchIsTouchpad "on"

Identifier "Touchpads"

Driver "mtrack"

EndSection

have not tested, sorry no dock yet =(

install mesa-utils

run glxgears

or

glxinfo | grep direct rendering
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] djlenoir:
Touchpad is now working fine, thanks. I was also able to verify that hardware acceleration is working as I averaged ~80fps on glxgears. Weird thing is that when I move windows around, it seems slow with screen tearing. Sometimes it seems to work better than other times. Maybe the desktop environment does not support hardware acceleration.

Typing on the keyboard works but is delayed and unreliable. What I mean by that is that if I type too fast, the cursor will just randomly jump around, or I might get too many of a character or miss some randomly. I can learn to just type slower. :) Maybe this is something you will encounter and fix when you get your dock x3maniac.

Also any way to get suspend to work?

To extract that rename it to .tar.bz2 ... Server only let you Download the File if its .tar.gz ...

Gnome dont know gles ... Use kde instead or Gnome classic ...

Uboot instructions

I have playing with this net-install. Firstly, thanks, it's an awesome project!

So far I have only got it working using liilstevie's OLiFE using the Dual boot flash option. I couldn't get uboot (linux only) to flash sucessfully, error message when flashing says something like "can't find uboot.bin". I'm interested in plasma active, it's really meant for touch and I use KDE as my main desktop environment, so good match. I read that plasma active only works properly with uboot and CrOS kernel. With dual boot I got plasma active installed but it is unusable, it's definetely not setup properly. I selected Jhinta kernel and tegra 2 driver, but the hardware acceleration is definitely not working. Plasma active is not able to start up properly and therefore unuseable.

How do I do a uboot flash/installation, using OLiFE or otherwise?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sinderan:
So I tried installing this image using Tubuntu to dualboot. I chose Ubuntu-desktop and lightdm(said it has the onscreen keyboard, I don't have the dock) Install went perfectly but when I got to the login screen it switched back to the command line and back to the login like every second or two. I reflashed and installed and the same thing. Then I used the instructions djlenoir posted with gnome and gdm only changing my timezone and it installed and worked great. But I really want lightdm with the onscreen keyboard. Any ideas whats wrong?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ethoms:
I tried lightdm with KDE4 and got same problem, si I guess it's a lightdm issue. We're both using dualboot so maybe that's related. perhaps it works better with linux boot. But I don't know how to flash either the android linux boot or the uboot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sinderan:
I'm gonna try lightdm with Gnome real quick. I really want a a better desktop but I kinda need the keyboard in lightdm lol

EDIT: It installed and worked, however when I turned on the onscreen keyboard it was just a black box. If I hit it it typed but there was no way to know what I was typing :/

use a usb keyboard ...

monitor flipping is realted to kernel and dont work at the moment ... i tried this with magik-rotate ...

lid close is also related to kernel ...

the kernel flasher dont work ... i tried this a million times with a million solutions but no way ...

with ubuntu systemsetting you can change it with sound setup

or with alsamixer by muting un-used output ... also related to kernel ...
