This is great. I finally have ubuntu installed!!!!

It's reasonably slow, but STILL GOT IT WHOO HOO!!

Have a few questions though... I'm a ubuntu noob, uhh is it safe to update ubuntu to version 12+?

It says theres a newer version... but I'm not sure if it's safe for me to update.

Also... I am trying to install eclipse, but I can't find one for ubuntu. Do I just download the linux version?

Do I download 32 or 64 bit?

Sorrry if these questions are stupid :\

You need to install an ssh server first (from software center) then run the built in distribution upgrade. when its finished and rebooted ull be unable to login, just install a ssh client on your pc , connect to the tablet and login with your tablets user name and password, then run "sudo apt-get autoremove pulseaudio"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoinTheRealms:
Yeah the kernel never installed for me either (My problem is "abootimg" is seemingly not available in here), I was happy just with the 2.6 kernel but ill retry installing the kernel with OLiFE and ill report on how it goes.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SE.XperiaRc:
What application name is the ssh server called?

Also, how can I make it faster? ie. overclock?

Can I boot into android, overclock there and boot into ubuntu? will that work?

Cheers
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoinTheRealms:
Just search for ssh and it should be the first package "secure shell client and server"

You can overclock the 3.1 kernel with a patch (never used it) but the best way to speed ubuntu up is to install a new window manager, this slowness your experiencing is more to do with the lack of ram in the TF101 than its cpu speed. XFCE and Enlightenment are the fastest by far because they use very little ram.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SE.XperiaRc:
I tried installing XFCE from the terminal. But at the end, it said some directory could not be found... And then it stopped.

I'm not sure whether it installed or not. I want to find out, but how do I attempt to launch it?... Sorry i'm new to ubuntu...

I tried installing eclipse but when i try to run the executable from the command line, it says cannot execute binary file.

Why is this happening?

I tried both the 64 and 32 bit linux version. But they both say the same thing
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoinTheRealms:
Nah dont worry about it dude this is what this threads for, all you have to do is log off and click the button above the password bar and choose xfce, you should have used this command "sudo apt-get install xfce"

Im re-installing ubuntu and im gonna have a play round with the 3.1 kernel and sound and ill add a section for them once ive got everything working.

Is it because my tablet is ARM based?

Cheers man, I really appreciate what you're doing. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoinTheRealms:
Yeah you need a ARM version, have you had a look in the software center for it? mines still installing so cant check at the moment.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SE.XperiaRc:
Yeah I tried installing it, but it says it has unmet dependencies. I tried downloading java JDK but it says unsupported platform armv7l :(

i also tried installing wine (to run windows applications) with ppa, but i couldn't because the package or something couldn't be found :(

[Eee Pad Transformer General] solarbird:
I have sbk1, and installed ubuntu but 11.1. Dont know how to install 12.04, and what is better in 12.04?

I also got big problem: when i want to turn off screen like on android, it just starts to reboot or whatever it is.. IS there a fix for this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vietchinh:
Sound does work.

I manage to find out. Follow: Open terminal and then : sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer. After it installed open in terminal with: alsamixer and then follow the same instructions: Set ADC Input on DMIC. Enable every DACL AND DHCR ( Its on Far back u will notic it)

Youtube doesnt work because hte plugin wont catch in mozzilla.

Not vene one of the ubuntu restriction stuffs doesnt work.

After 3 hours of attempting i give up.

If i got time i gonna test Olife ubuntu with flash installed and everything and then update the system.

There should be update form it. There is some option for it. What is betetr in 12.04? : not much only battery is fixed.

You cant fix the turn off screen. Its just a glitch or some sort.

Use net-installer.

I wish u good luck :3

Thank you :)

But what is the benefit of installing net-installer i get 12.04?

And do you think it is good for every day use? I dont think so because of these turning-off-screen-problems, and its slowness :(

And i dont know should i w8 for official 4.1 or instal custom one..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vietchinh:
Well the net-installer installs for u theubuntu 12.04

The good side of that you can CHOOSE what kind of ubuntu.

I use atm Gnome classic with the jhinta kernel. It's dam fast, but there is allot of problems. Like flash wont install i cant even install libre...

You need backup ur system to get the system u want. I have AR HD with guevoner kernel. I could give you system.img and the boot.img to you to get the same thing.

I am searching solutions.

Well more questions :D?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] solarbird:
Thank you again :D

So main problems is that there is no flash support and no turning off screen?

To be honest, the reason i want ubuntu and not android is because i want it to use it like a real laptop, so i can bring it to college and flash some microcontrollers :)

You think i can do it with it? Can you please send me then what exactly you have, I have installed olifeprime with frankstools, and that was it..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vietchinh:
Well the turn off screen works with net-installer ubuntu. Not for olife.

So i have AR HD with Guevoner kernel(It starts up with power + volume down) and Ubuntu 12.04(.01 i update it so the ubuntu sofware center works) Gnome classic with jhinta kernel(It doenst install in net installer :\ so i had to external install).

Well i think that limited ARM software arround. I had though time to install things...

Even libre doensn't work becasue a wierd glitch that i cant even figuring out.

Maybe tomorrow i am gonna install Olife ubuntu with jhinta kernel and download loads of things and after that letting update.

I can take me 2 - 6 hours >.>.

Well have you more questions :D?

There is an answer that I haven't been able to get from anything I've read in any 'ubuntu on tf101' threads.

Is there a way to dualboot ubuntu and android while keeping CWM? Id really like to be able to update my EOS rom without having to connect it to my computer each time.

If there is a way to do this... which method of the many is the way to do it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Franz.Hendrik:
Can anyone please help.

I have followed OLiFE for sbk2 and then decided to do it the manual way using the netinstaller's ubuntu.img.

Ubuntu boots but ask for a root password and login. I don't have a bluetooth keyboard or a dock is there anyway I can still use ubuntu on my tablet?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Franz.Hendrik:
please help someone.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoinTheRealms:
Have a look here: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852702) The OP has a adb method for installing without a dock but as it says its not working correctly, you may have problems. Id try just a regular OLiFE install as OLiFE has an option to open a onscreen keyboard during the install.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoinTheRealms:
You can temporally flash CWM from OLiFE, install the android rom/kernel you want then reflash the ubuntu kernel, thus restoring ubuntu. Its takes a bit more time, but works.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wtfcr0w:
Ah. I see. I think ill wait til there's a more fluid way to accomplish this. Do you or anyone think that there may be some kind of gui to select which installation to boot from in the future?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoinTheRealms:
I've updated the OP with instructions, I'm crossing my fingers someone gets grub2 working (Burg would be amazing) but i wouldn't hold my breath as ubuntu development on the TF101 (afaik) has pretty much stopped. Personally i have ubuntu installed on my tf101 but have a recovery flashed over top and I only restore ubuntu when i need to use it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wtfcr0w:
That's sad to hear. I hope that someone has the know-how to get this rolling. If I knew enough about linux I would work on it but I just dabble.

Thanks for all the help, my friend. Maybe I'll change my mind in the future and install.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Franz.Hendrik:
i did use the image from Olife PRIME. the ubuntu.img.

How do I open onscreen keyboard?? Thanks for response.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] livinsacrfice:
Should be 'Onboard' app installed that has onscreen keyboard.

On another note, I'm having trouble getting sound to work.

From

[6. Configure Sound

sudo usermod -a -G audio <your username here> sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/snd/*

Open alsamixer and enable playback

Left And Right speaker mixer DACL/R

Set ADC input to DMIC

sudo mkdir /tmp/mnt; mount /dev/mmc0p7 /tmp/mnt; cp /tmp/mnt/etc/asound.conf /etc/asound.conf/; umount /tmp/mnt]

I wasn't sure whether gnome-alsamixer or alsamixer was preferred app. on the gnome version, I found where I could tick some things on, but it threw a configuration error every time it comes up. I cannot tell where to change adc to dmic. The mount command should be mmcblkp07 instead of mmcp07 I think, but the /etc folder is not mounted from the command for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] El Quedro:
Stock rom + Ubuntu

I tried your tool last night and it worked flawlessly!

Only, I dislike the OLife Prime Honeycomb image.. Is there any way to get the ICS stock rom and Ubuntu to work together? Or which ICS rom is compatible with this tool?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] edjeed:
Hmmm

everything works fine, still have one problem.

I only have windows pc's so I can't use Olive tools to change switch to CWM and back to the linux kernel to change the Android rom.

Anybody knows how to do this with Frank's tool or ADB ?

Searched a lot on XDA but could not find the answer.

edit .

I already figured it out using nvflash... If somebody is also interested I will post a howto..

[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
I'm kind of confused why no one has asked this yet but what is the default user info or root password? After successfully booting I never got asked to set up an account or anything, I booted into the log in screen.

AKA I can only access a guest session.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lethe6:
Linux doesn't detect APX?

Ok random question not about the password lol. I have a SBKv2 (C30) and try as I might, Ubuntu, Arch and CentOS won't detect it in APX mode, *at all*. FreeBSD detects it out of the box in APX but then wheelie fails to run on it saying "kernel too old" (obviously not meant for freebsd) and the exact same happens on a Xen-enabled CentOS 5.8... which makes no sense, it's using the most recent 2.6 xen kernel.

Do you need any sort of drivers for linux APX? I even tried in a VM and as soon as I move the device to the guest, it gets lost (neither the host nor the guest see it). Power-cycled it, rebooted into APX, reconnect through USB... nothing. Ideas?

P.S. APX works flawlessly in Windows and OSX, but since it's a SBKv2 I'm stuck trying to do this in linux.

It was the same for me, it just wouldn't complete... until I undocked it. Are you docked? It's worth a shot ;)

Can't boot into Ubuntu

Hi guys,

I have been on a quest for a long time to put ubuntu on my TF101 (been following it since it started) and waited until things became more stable until I tried. Originally I tried using OLife on my linux mint machine but ended up with a softbrick and used frank's tools on windows to restore it. Now I have used Frank's tools with all the suggested images pulled from OLife Prime, but I can't boot into Ubuntu. After the Eeepc screen, it goes through the booting process like you would see on a computer and says to hold volume down and power to select options but I SWEAR I've done everything here and it always boots to the android partition. If I hold volume down and power from it being completely turned off, it goes into recovery mode and the only option is to "wipe data".....any ideas as to what I am doing incorrectly? I hate spending time booting up and turning off constantly to try....I don't want to think its my timing but I thought I would see if anyone has had issues.

Thanks!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lethe6:
If "recovery" is not Ubuntu, you missed a step. I never used Frank's tools but with Tubuntu just reflash the kernel on the recovery partition and it should boot right up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rastacalavera:
What I have

This is a screen capture of what is in the franks tools folder. I got the three things, recovery, image.....and I can't remember the third right now from OLife and put them in there. Am I missing something? Is there a different image I should have?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rastacalavera:
Oh......my........god...*FACEPALM*

So, I was reading all about Tubuntu and was thinking about wiping and trying that approach until I saw something written that really made me question my own sanity and ability. it read,

"Once completed and you wish to enter Lubuntu, power off the TF-101 and hold down volume down first and then power. You will see your screen say hit volume up in 5 seconds for recovery. Hit volume up within 5 seconds and it should boot your Linux graphical desktop environment"

HOLD VOLUME DOWN THEN POWER THEN UP??!?!??!??! AHHHHGHHHHHHHHH

well it seems to be going through the motions now so hopefully soon I will have ubuntu on this puppy :good:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoinTheRealms:

First half of the things you asked are solved in settings for ex. your first problem is solved in playstore settings and similarly same with touchwiz go in menu press option button and u get grid view choose your type and your many other problems would be solved by reading whats written in plain english and smart phones are to bug around and learn about it not to keep in showcase

For point 1, you can disable the shortcut creation in the home screen so that it will create only in the app drawer.

I expect Google having its own findmylostphone service..... Samsung drive is useless.

The one big issue that I see in S3 is the lag that is in the home screen after returning back from another app. Samsung was pathetic there. Also inside the. App drawer lags inside the widgets tab. Even though S3 is a power horse Samsung has failed in many places....

No phone is perfect to fulfil everyone's need but the features that are released shouldn't be as half baked as the TW home screen. Disappointed.

Get her to go Windows. It's just two rows but more customization than IOS.

What Samsung should do is make a Galaxy S4 and a Galaxy SW. Make the hardware exactly the same but market the S4 to intermediate to advance user and market the SW with Windows Phone 9 to beginner to intermediate users.

The reason I say that this is how they should approach it is because Android is like what you described inherently. It gives you a lot of ways to do things from every screen. Samsung can't really dumb it down anymore or there is no point using Android. So Windows for beginners is how Samsung should approach it but instead of fragmenting their market just call the next Ativ S a Galaxy SW and watch the money come in from the beginners.

I have a couple of friends who got the S3 just about the same time as myself. They both were ex iphone users and were both using BB torch prior to the S3. After a month, I was quite familiar with all the functions such as smart stay, direct call, swipe capture... etc. They were quite surprised that those features existed when i showed them, despite the fact there are pop up tutorials when you first use the phone. That's how i knew those features existed.

I dont think i'm any smarter than the average person, I think they are just too lazy and can't be bothered. Or maybe they are just living life and not sitting down with a computer, hitting the refresh button to see if the link to the latest JB leak have been posted up.

You apparently have a reading comprehension disability. He was pointing out that these things are not as obvious to others as they are to us, as in the case of his colleague.

This has been obvious to me since I first got an android. I have had no issues, though I have missed some options till reading about them a time or two or just forgot where they were.

That's why there will always be a need for the iPhone, for those who cannot figure **** out on their own. ;)
