So, does Adobe Flash support work at all in Chromium? I haven't gotten it to recognize the plugin at all. Any way to get this working, or is it just gonna keep bugging me to install it?

In theory you should be able to install a proper display manager without too many issues:

# pacman -S lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter
# systemctl enable lightdm

...though when I tried this the DM would never actually be run. I was able to run it manually over SSH without issues (both lightdm and slim worked, more or less). I'm in the process of investigating why it isn't run at startup like it should be, whatever the issue is doesn't seem to be related to the display manager itself.

I have an issue with wifi.

1: The WLAN do not find any Network with Channel 12 or 13.. I think I must change the region in germany, but where?

2. The WLAN do not connect, they search for an network adress and after 30seconds they ask for wlan key again.. the key is correct and my router shows the connection.. but archlinux means the key is wrong.. testet with router und smartphone wlan hotspot..

3. 3G not connecting, i have create a profile for BASE Germany, but they do not connect.

UPDATE:

for 2: Sometimes they connect and I can surf. But the ping are more then 600ms.. After few seconds the connection lost, sometimes they connect again, sometimes say ask for wlan key again.

Maybe you can help me. Sorry for my bad english. :)

Could any of you guys find out if you have a process running in "interruptible" state named "kinteractive_lo"?

You can check that using "top" in CLI or installing gnome-system-monitor. I guess the standard xfce task manager works as well.

It's driving me nuts and I believe is one of the reasons why I have to hard-reboot my tablet, since invoking reboot with --force works perfectly.

Thanks in advance!

Do you guys know if this:

http://www.nvidia.com/content/devzone/linux-for-tegra.html

(the last link on the webpage matches our cpu/gpu)

can be included into our filesystem and run seemlessly, or is the problem bigger than that (do we have to recompile some of our software with those library?)

Long time lurker, finally decided to register.

In case anyone hasn't figured out yet, chmod probably won't work in android on the .boot_linux file, since it's on the SD card (didn't for me). I needed to boot into TWRP and then do a chmod from there.

I was stuck there until I finally noticed that permissions weren't being changed.

Arch up and running now :D, time to get awesome and bring most of my settings over!

Hm, after updating to latest, font blinks in and out of existence, any ideas which package it is? I'm thinking it might be cairo, but downgrading it (quite hard with invisible text in terminal) didn't seem to work.

[Transformer TF300T General] lvlrdka22:
I'm running awesome, heh. It was a bit of a pain to get most of the things working, like mounting in thunar without su, using consolekit (I used to use slim with it before the systemd upgrade, but it was still nothing as annoying as this). Last time (before the current install), I tried upgrading pixman only (one of the dependencies to cairo), and ended up bootlooping. Did that upgrade go fine for you?

Maybe I just didn't wait long enough to get out of it :eek:.

Thanks, I'll go try it out, and let's hope nandroid works on this thing.

However, when I get back to my home I use WAP-PSK and it seems to sometimes work and then other times not be

Good morning,

I installed linux using this method.

Currently I have two problems.

The first, the dualboot does not work. I boot only on linux

I am obliged to Reflashing the KERNEL with the KERNEL original ASUS to boot in android.

How can I do to get the dualboot?

The second, The Wifi does not recognize my WPA key, WIfi works on a wireless network without protection

but it does not work in network with WPA key.

How make to connect in my Wifi with WPA Key?

Sorry for my english

One weird thing I've noticed for getting the WiFi to work:

When on my University campus these past couple weeks I've discovered going over to the android side, successfully connecting, and then switching back over to the Arch Linux side allowed it to successfully connect.

I've yet to test this theory for other WiFi sources.

The hybridkernel works only with stock 4.1 for now.

Anyway I found a possibility to switch between arch and CM10.1.

Here's what I did running on CM10.1:

-Boot into recovery and create a backup of boot. I named it CM3.1 (Because i ran on the 3/1/13 Nightly)

-Now install Archlinux like stated in the other thread including flashing with fastboot

-Boot into recovery again an backup boot. I named it Arch

I'm now able to switch between CM10.1 and Archlinux by restoring the respective backup in recovery. The .boot_linux can be left exisiting.
[Transformer TF300T General] hubrat:
I don't have enough posts to post in the dev thread so am leaving my comments here.

Thanks for the update.zip cb22, it flashed fine with TWRP. I'll use the trick above to manage booting between Arch and Android.

LXDE

Since the new release I've had problems getting Lxde to work. I've installed it following the guide on the arch wiki and as far as I know I don't have to do annything for GDM to be able to use it. It appears in GDM however it only results in the wallpaper and a mouse cursor loading.

Any ideas how to get it too work.

I have the same problem with xfce on my initial user. root works fine. I tried around and got it started by loging in as initial via ssh and type "startxfce4". I'm trying to remove gdm and landing in a shell for starting xfce manually on the tf300t but i'm only ending up with a black screen. At least ssh works stable.
[Transformer TF300T General] hubrat:
I only had the wallpaper and mouse one time when booting into XFCE but I put it down to mistakenly restoring a system backup instead of a boot backup when going back to android. I've also lost all window controls (minimize, maximize and close buttons and being able to re-size windows) once. Both times I just removed the /data/archlinux directory and re-flashed the update.zip. A bit of a pain but I'm not familiar enough with where all these settings are stored - usually I'm happy with the defaults.

As far as Lxde goes, I'm typing from it now. I just re-flashed the update.zip, did a pacman -Syu as root and then pacman -S lxde. A sync and reboot later, I selected lxde from the GDM login screen and all worked ok.

First time I tried to come here to post the display became corrupted and I had to hold down the power button to reboot but this time it's been ok.

Sorry I can't be more help for you - it worked for me straight up.
[Transformer TF300T General] University of Pi:
That makes sense

Though restoring is even less of a dual boot than that file

Though it would be handy for those of us that will probably never use arch as their dd for their pads but would love to play around and love cm or any other non stock rom

Seeking kernel.zip

I installed the update.zip and like what I see so far. What I would like is a kernel.zip file to flash so I can "dual-boot" without re-flashing the whole arch package over again. It's pretty slow. Anyone made one of these already?
[Transformer TF300T General] rickavers42:
Back-ups

I have mine set up so that i just restore the "boot" on TWRP for either arch or android. I tested that out just 10 minutes ago and it works very quick and easy too! restoring your different 'boots" is basically like re-flashing the kernel, without going into fast boot.

Spezial keymapping

I observe this project since december last year. At this moment i wish to map the "lock"-key (in the right corner on keydock) to "del" key (because i miss the delete-key so much ;) ). So i try to use the keycode and change the mapping via "xmodmap"-command. The only problem was, that i could get the keycode. When i use "xev" to find out the keycode i get no keycode. After long google-search-sessions i found the solution:

The problem is, that the Xfce catch the key. After this we could not use this key for other things. So we must remove the xfce-binding before we can use the key for other stuff.

1) We can find the bindings here: >xfce4-keyboard-settings<

2) Remove the binding for the key

3) Now you should get the keycode via "xev". At this point you can use "xmodmap" to map the keycode to the character what are you want.

I hope this helps you. :)

More general porting guide/advice

Hey guys,

I build my own kernel and created a minimal rootfs but I am unsure how to put it on my Tablet

(SD card boot wasn't spotted by now, NVflash like for the AC100 seems a bit drastic to me since we have working TWRP and CWM).

Also I guess that I might have to install and configure drivers before I get anykind of touchscreen support or audio. Could anyone point me a way for creating a update.zip for *real* linux (found a thread on how to create/modifiy one for android) and where to get the drivers?

Login without keyboard

Hey guys,

since We still don´ t have the scripts cb22 used to build the rootfs I tinkered around a little bit and managed to login without a keyboard dock. I did this by turning "initial" into something like a guest accout without a password and allowing users without a password to login. This will also give you an idea on how to fix things without having to reflash everything.

So, let´s start:

[Prerequisits]

ASUS TF300T with CWM and the non-dualboot update.zip flashed

a PC with the Android Development Tools (we´ll need adb)

[Connecting]

Put your Tablet into recovery mode by pressing Volume Down + Power etc... you already know this, right?

Connect the USB cable and run

adb shell

You will be prompted to somekind of recovery shell, but we want to go deeper

Mount the

/data

partition by typing

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data

If you remember the

install.sh

from the update.zip you might know, archlinux got installed to

/data/archlinux

. This is where our rootfs sits which means that we can change root here and use the commandset provided by archlinux.

chroot /data/archlinux/ /bin/bash

Somehow the PATH is messed up and we´ll want to fix it by hammering in:

export PATH=/bin/:/sbin/:/usr/bin/:/usr/local/bin/:/opt/bin/

Congratulations, you gained access to your Tablet (nearly) without touching it!

[Creating the guest-login]

Since we don´t want to use our keyboard or maybe don´t have one we can´t login by entering a password.

We´ll simply delete it.

passwd -d -u initial

The other thing is, that gdm, or better pam.d which does the authorization things, does not allow a passwordless login. To change this we need to configure pam.d to be contend when either the right password is entered or no password is entered at all. Edit the files

/etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin

and

/etc/pam.d/system-auth

with vi.

We are looking for lines that contain

pam_permit.so

,

change those to read

required pam_permit.so nullok

after the first word. You´ll get the idea.

Hint: Use vi to edit the textfiles.
Move the cursor with the h/j/k/l-keys (prev/down/up/next)
Press x to delete the sign under the cursor.
Edit the code by pressing i, when you have finished exit with Esc
Leave the file unchanged by typing :q!,
Save changes with :x

[Changing your default login session]

Clicking on the User-Icon puts us to the trouble of being logged into a nonexistent Gnome-Shell so we edit the default session by copying the premade xinitrc file from

/etc/xdg/xfce4/

to

/home/initial/.xinitrc

. because this somhow didn´ t work either I brutally removed all other options in

/usr/share/xsessions

except the one called xfce4.desktop.

[Change other things]

While you are still logged in you could easily edit somethings like turning on the TF300-cpu.service or adding the lines for working audio. Since you don´t have a virtual keyboard yet you also might like to turn on the sshd and put a file with your WLAN-key on initials desktop.

I hope this worked for some of you and suggested some useful steps for others,

problem with dual boot

Did you create .boot_linux file? When you have hybridkernel.blob, you must create .boot_linux file to boot to arch.

You can create it in terminal with these commands:

su

touch /data/media/.boot_linux

chmod 755 /data/media/.boot_linux
