I used Gnome and GDM, then said yes too but the G version and to build jhinta from source (too impatient)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sinderan:
Any chance we could get Florence Virtual Keyboard built in? It autohides and pops up when you click on a text box like the android keyboard does. It even has support for the GDM login screen :D

http://sourceforge.net/projects/florence/#screenshots

I'm downloading it now, but I thought I would throw it out there.

If anyone is interested here is the page about using it at login

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Wirmpolter:
Well I'm not totally sure, but i'm great with doing this type of stuff...but for some reason after installing the linux and everything....it all boots up fine, but I can't get past the login screen anyway i've tried with a login or password from on here, ones i remember about linux ones and even tried with the username and pass i created during the installer....when i try the root login with pass i get root logins are not allowed

any help would be much appreciated...

Hey was playing around with tUbuntu build and found it too unstable.. you netbuild is working very well all day.. some times if I hold back space all the gnome window tops disappear.. however no biggy

My little problem is I want to remap the lock key to delete ... as each time I press it the system goes black and locks up..

Thanks

Update:.. I was able to get this fixed in open box by following the below link:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/24916/how-do-i-remap-certain-keys
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] DjDill:
for any one else having problems with inverted colours in hardware video apps.. I was having the problem with rdesktop..

I fixed it by doing the following, installed the nvida drivers: (not sure if required)

Did the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tikhonov/misc

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libvdpau1

Then I could not get ppa to add the repo .. so I added it to /etc/apt/source.list it manually: added

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tikhonov/misc/ubuntu precise main

updated and installed libvdpau1

..

I can't get normal gnome to work without loosing the top of the screen when I press tab or back space too much, so I have been using the openbox interface

Hey I downloaded 0.6 but it won't extract! Tried it with every program on play store I could find and 3 programs plus terminal, but it returns:

Error: not in gzip format.

I downloaded it many times and it doesn't work! May you help me?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
Extract on your PC

rename the extension to from gz to bz2
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pyro254750:
I installed this over a tubuntu install and I cant seem to get an onscreen keyboard at the login screen. Changelog shows that v0.6 should have one, am I missing something? Someone point out the obvious for me please, im lost.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
depends on the login manger your using. i believe lightdm has onboard.. i havn't used netinstall since i've been working on my own tubuntu image
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Would he need to first open onboard and set the preferences? If that's the case you might need a dock or keyboard first. Or use the user login instead to gain desktop access.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] blckz28:
I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Should there be a boot menu to select Linux or Android when I first turn the tablet on? Right now it just boots to Linux. If I want to get into Android I have to power off. Then hold Up + Power to get to the wipe device screen. Then cancel wipe and it boots Android. To get back to Linux I have to reboot to recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thantos:
Anyone having issues logging into the gui post-install? Mine just hangs after I type in the credentials (doesn't go beyond the login screen).

I installed: v0.6

gnome-shell, running on gdm and jhinta kernel
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] DjDill:
That is correct.. it took me a long time to workout that I needed to do that..

I have my working the other way around booting to Android and Linux in recovery.

You may be better of using the tubuntu build.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1995157

Much more dev work going on and very fast to install,

Thanks for the info, I'll give tubuntu a try.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
v07 is up!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] szigeza:
Is this 12.04 or 12.10 image?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Hey NoDiskNoFun, how did you get Bluetooth working? I saw it in you're changelog.

I'm using tubuntu by x3maniac. Brcm patchram plus isn't working.

I can get an adapter to scan by using hciattach any ttyHS2 but it doesn't pick anything up.

Patchram keeps complaining no such file or directory or I get an error exit code of 1.

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
i followed the tutorial =D

try "sudo install rfkill"

then "sudo service bsp-tf101 stop"

then "sudo service bsp-tf101 start"

post output if it doesn't work

btw its a 12.04 image. 12.10 is not stable and hasn't got lts support ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Ahh ok yeah I did the tutorial as well. Got the service, files, and rfkill. Thanks! I'll keep trying.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hanthesolo:
I am currently in the same boat as thantos is. Install completed successfully, but setup seemingly failed to create the user account needed, and then deleted (?) the temporary one, leaving us with no user account to log into, hence no way to fix this. I've tried dropping down to a terminal, but so far it hasn't worked (ctrl-alt-fX seems flaky on the keyboard, i'll try an external one tomorrow). I have flashed this version before (.6 I believe), and didn't have any of these issues. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this issue?

Note that while in the login shell, it accepts the "default" root/temppwd combo, but since it seems to lack necessary permissions (?), it can't load a desktop shell.

EDIT: I tried again this morning with an external keyboard, with the same results. Have the TTY consoles been disabled? I'll try and find an alternate way to access the filesystem, to hopefully figure things out. I'm going to tenetively say that this is due to how autologin works (as I enabled it). I'll play around with getting a console a bit more, then i'll reinstall without autologin enabled, and see what happens.

EDIT: Just a couple more things I noticed. First, installation ONLY works in OLiFE/Tubuntu/Frank's tools if it's setup in a dualboot configuration, with android as primary, ubuntu secondary. Looking at the dmesg displayed by the kernel, it seems to be due to the fact that all the kernels we have so far check for Ubuntu in the seondary boot position, which fails for obvious reasons unless it's dualbooting.

EDIT: I just rechecked the changelog, and saw that autologin doesn't work. Stupid on my part, but perhaps you could add instructions to the OP on how to drop down to a terminal and disable autologin, and maybe reenable one of the TTY consoles?

EDIT: It still didn't work after disabling auto-login (no suprise), so I went and looked at the script code itself. It seems to be setup just fine, but I didn't see an elevation to superuser permissions anywhere in the script. Perhaps that's why it doesn't properly add the new user? I'll reflash, and run the script with superuser permissions (which I probably should have done in the first place), and try it again.

EDIT; For some reason, even though the script is run in a root shell, it doesn't properly add users unless it's run as sudo. I manually added my own user/added to necessary grou[s before running the script, and managed to get everything working properly, but this might be an issue you would want to look into for future releases. As a side note, now that everything's set up properly, It runs extremely well. The battery life is exceptional compared to android, everything runs very smoothly for the most part (even chrome, to my suprise), and I finally have a mini-laptop I can use on the go for school. Excellent work!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
i checked script 3times ... rerun it in chroot and on real hardware. everytime user got created. which username have you choosen? no big letters are allowed. its case sensitiv!!

btw ... use chrome with --use-gl=EGL ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hanthesolo:
It was a 3-character name, with no special characters, so capitals may be the issue (though I think I may have attempted creation once with lowercase, and it failed). My TF's all kinds of messed though, so it may just be me.

I'll also try the EGL command, and see if it'll enable any kind of acceleration on other programs.

Do you have any detailed commit info, or change log we could access? One if the things I enjoy about using github is that you have precise, up-to-date commit info, meaning that you can easily revert any problematic changes if need be.

I've found the tf Ubuntu project to be extremely confusing. There's several distros out there, some has X Working but not y, and vice-versa, plus there doesn't seem to be any decent documentation for developers (outside of Jhinta's github, which isn't much help out of context). Hopefully sometime in the future we can centralise support and get things merged under one project.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] transformador:
You said you updated tegra drivers via .deb. May you send me the deb or is there a way to extract it from .img?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] terencec:
Ok so I have to admit I'm a linux noob and I probably shouldnt have undertook this project...

I tried to install this using x3maniac's tubuntu 1-click installer and TomTCom's guide for SBK1 machines. (Great work btw... for both guys!)

The install went fine, everything seems to be installing as it should until the reboot after the installation...

It rebooted back to Team Win recovery when i kicked it into recovery...

No problem i thought - I'll just use the tool again and flash the jhanti kernel back into the recovery partition.

Now... whenever I boot into the recovery/linux partition I get a terminal from "Linaro" that will let me login to my user account, and upon using the ONLY linux command i know (startx), I get a GUI that has everything missing minus a mouse cursor and wallpaper (I can the web browser out, I can get the settings windows out... but hell it doesn't even have the close/minimize buttons!)

What did I do wrong?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] transformador:
I think you should just type "setup" and hit enter :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sainthout:
I can't get Wifi to work..

I am at the installer and it properly detects all accesspoints. But it doesn't connect after clicking OK and rebooting...

Could it be because I'm using the wrong kernel?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kasush:
I have not yet used this although I am definitely interested in running Ubuntu on my TF. My question is for research more than anything else at this point. has anyone successfully run an Android app in Ubuntu. I would prefer to run pure Linux and only run the couple of apps I like in a VM or something. I have been doing some research and AndroVM looks promising, but I do not know if it works in arm. If anyone knows I would be appreciative of the answers.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ThrashMan:
I've installed the image but when it boots it fails to start the wpa_suplicant daemon.

ifconfig only show the loopback adapter.

/etc/init.d/networking restart says that that /sbin/wpa_suplicant daemon failed to start :(

Using v0.7 and Tubuntu works ok
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ThrashMan:
anyone, please?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
which image are you using?. did you configure the wpa_supplicant?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sarpk:
I am having the same problem.

I have SBKv2 TF101.

I am using Tubuntu, with Net-Install Ubuntu (V0.7).

I have updated my kernel with 2.6.36.4.img as mentioned in Tubuntu installation guide.

I found this guide : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2141409

But i am still having an error on 7th step:

"7. Execute this command: wpa_supplicant -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.con -iwlan0" I get an error of wlan0 which is "no such device"

"ifconfig -a" does not show any wireless related devices too...

Thanks for helping!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
That guide is for Raring gnome-core. Is that what you are installing?

Were you able to set up your wireless connection first in Android?

Were you then able to copy the supplicant from Android Prime to the Linux partition?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sarpk:
No I am installing net-installer v 0.7 but up till step 7 everything works fine.

Also I was able to set the wireless connection first in Android. In fact wpa_supplicant.conf file has all the details but I cannot apply "wpa_supplicant -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0" because I am getting an error of wlan0 - no such device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
I can't help when you are combining two different setups that may or may not really be compatible.

You'll have to Google the commands and try to find something that works.

***On a side note, the tubuntu op has some slightly different commands for installing raring. I posted what worked for me by searching. You can try those or search. Also if I recall I made a new supplicant because there was a slight difference from what was online that worked for Linux and what android made. Try that and see what you get.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kasush:
replace "-iwlan0" with "-ieth0" and it should work fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sarpk:
I am doing this because actual net-install set up does not work for me.

In actual setup, I cannot choose any network adapter, there is nothing in there!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sarpk:
No I get the same result. No such device...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
device is called wlan0 ... Not lwlan0 ...

also I think in 2.6 it get recalled to wlan1 but I'm not sure ...

Ill have a look if i have it stored somewhere later, i gotta ask why you arnt using the Tubuntu app? its built from franks tools with extended features (with sbk2 support)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] armstrom:
I tried instaling v0.7 with tubuntu but after running through the entire setup process the tablet now reboots to a busybox prompt and can't really be used for anything. I was hoping that if I followed the directions exactly as described in this thread perhaps I would have better luck.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] El Quedro:
Dock stops working

I have installed the Netinstall 0.7 using the Rootbind Kernel. I have installed LXDE, LightDM and installed the Jhinta only drivers for hardware acceleration.

It works pretty good, I have wifi and such. But the dock stops working after a while (like 2 minutes). The dock works again if I re-attach it, but will fail again in the same amount of time.

I also tried booting linux without the dock attached and then attach it when the login screen appears. But that results in the same issue.

Does anyone know how I can solve this? Or is it caused by the kernel?

And what application do you recommend to change the brightness of the screen?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shanegru:
i run windows 7.. 64 bit here..im assuming im sk1 version.. cuz i can nvflash stuff.. but franks tools download for sk 1 version..i cant find the download :( seen a few links for it.. but they wont work...can anyone host it for me.. maybe a day... about to goto bed.. thanks :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
I suggest to use Rootbind method or if you really want real dualboot, use Tubuntu Tool. TomTcom made a guide for SBKV1
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shanegru:
i try the rootbind.. but its for sk2.... most sk 1 have issues on the install.. they are different critters... im not sure the differences.. but its enough of a diff that rootbind has alot of errors on install.. making it about worthless.. sometimes it will actually loadup.. but not all the time... and ya id luv rootbind.. tryed many times..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
Or you can try loopmount method.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] damaru:
I've installed this net install with the root bind, but the wireless network still not working.

The eth0 trough usb works fine. I am not using WPA on my network, it's a password less connection, do I still have to use the wpa_supplicant method? There is also the 'iw' tool available from the repo

How about update the net-install ubuntu through apt?

Hi All,

I am using net-installer for a month and it is really stable, I am happy for that.

But I would like to know any way to update the ubuntu through apt? As I can see, firefox is still in v11. I try to use the apt source.list from other image. However, after the upgrade, I can login to lxde, but when I click the menu icon, lxde exit without error.

Anyone have upgrade their version successfully before? Can you copy your source.list file here?

Thanks!

PS. I am using rootbind with net-installer

Rgds,

I can't get my network config done. WPA, WEP, i can't get anything to work. I downt know what else to do ! Without network config it can't download the packages and everything it needs to run. It's sad :(

I'ts almost noob prof
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
where did you stuckin'?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] prog19:
The configuration of network. I have a WPA-PSK, i type my ssid and my password. Clear the WEP configuration that i don't need. The device reboots. Then it "wait for network" and nothing happens. it "wait for net work for plus 60 secs" and nothing happens. I type root and temppwd and continue the configuration.

I continue the configuration, but it doesn't download anything. When done, the tablet reboots and there's no desktop enviroment and anything.

Wuold you lease post a print, or an example of how the configuration of WPA should looks like when doing the right way ?

Thanks in advance !
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
okay, here we go :

network={

ssid="NETGEAR" <-- I typed my SSID

scan_ssid=1

proto=RSN

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

pairwise=CCMP

group=TKIP

psk="PASSWORD" <-- my password

}

and copyed the rest form description (last link)

Have you tried this:

# Alternativly use:

#

# pairwise=CCMP

# group=CCMP

#

# OR

#

# pairwise=TKIP

# group=TKIP

when it reboots and ask you if everything run correctly press "n" and i'll find yourself rerunning WiFi config

may that helps you

http://blog.nelhage.com/2008/08/using-wpa_supplicant-on-debianubuntu/

you can try to delete everything except SSID and password like in this how to above

i use this site http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCgQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.ubuntuusers.de%2FWLAN%2Fwpa_supplicant&ei=jUg6UMnsOcrHtAbq8YGoDw&usg=AFQjCNGw0Z5plCjkKyfegc4foyv7F4xjKQ&sig2=v4xlugrVyronUXzp9CrAJQ but it's in german...

When the setup ends, i have no desktop enviromenti, like i think it should have.

This means my network isn't working right??

I will try as you said.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
as you said yeah ... but now you need to reflash image 'cause script delets itself afterwards.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] prog19:
Yeah, i've reflashed this like 10 times now.

And everytime the "resizing partition" seems to took longer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
alternativly you can try typing this after first reboot:

login

ping google.com <---- for testing internet

iwlist scan <-- shows every access point
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoDiskNoFun:
just use "n" when ask everything correct ... only if you don't have to wait for network it works ... but just test it with "ping google.com"
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] prog19:
I've managed to get the internet working with a non secure network (i've made changes in the router) and this WPA suplicant config

network={

ssid="plaintext-test"

key_mgmt=NONE

}

Rebooted and ping google, and voilà: It worked!

I've made my choices

Kubuntu, KDM, Jhinta, Tegra, Mouse, Zram.

I've changed root, user and everything

It make some minor downloads and enter xorg config.

I completed it with 11 (my number)

It appeared the text file to edit: I switched ? for " and ° for * and pressed enter.

It rebooted

When it reboots, as I expected, there wasn't desktop enviroment (as I expected, because of the small downloads)

Just a black screen asking for login, saing i was using ubuntu 12.04.

What went wrong now ??
