"Cloning" installed linux installation

Hi,

first of all, sorry for my English.

1. is it possible to clone installed Ubuntu to second TF 101 somehow? I am used to do it on normal PCs (boot liveCD, connect old & new hdd, cp -r -p * /newhdd)

2. I am trying to install Hamachi, which is closed source but has armel deb package. On Rasphery Pi it is working. I can istall it on TF 101 the same way (dpkg --force-architecture --force-depends) but after instalation the binary is not working (with information that the file /opt/logmein-hamachi/bin/hamachid does not exists but it is there, it is 0775 and ELF 32-bit LSB executable) - same for the Lubuntu and Raring image.

3. after apt-get update there is a problem with initramfs (well not a real one but is trying to update the kernel all the time which is not possible) - under Lubuntu

4. I have tried to set cpu frequency from 816 to 1.4 ondemand on rc.local but it is "unset" to 1.6 ondemand. Is there a way I could do it? Btw. I am talking about the Lubuntu version, this is working with the Raring image.

5. really like Ubuntu on my TF 101 :)

6. openssh-server installed in Lubuntu - what for?

Thanks.

Need your help - Partitions issue

Hello

I'am trying to install a dualboot boot on my TF101 sbk2 with this ubuntu release : Lubuntu v1.2 (12.10) - http://goo.im/devs/x3maniac 496.01 MB

. This device is already rooted.

Tested 2 times and always the same error on ubuntu starting. For information, Andraid starts well.

I joined an attachement with error message.

Thanks for your help

Something may be wrong when flash, try to follow guide once again and check you did ALL steps

Dropbox

Is it possible to install Dropbox on Lubuntu 1.2?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
I didnt try, but I think so.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zachf714:
What is the program in Lubuntu that sleeps and wakes the device when you open and close the lid ... I need it for raring
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
i believe it's a dbus event. you need to either run a desktop environment that supports dbus or script one yourself.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
sorry i have been out for awhile so i havn't been updating this program.

right off topic =) i have been working on a little cool project for my old d620 laptop with intergraded intel gpu. i solved the slow gpu problem with this.

i have more information about the device on my website. check my footer. mounting a external gpu! fun! so far i have tested SC2 & league of legends
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zachf714:
So I assume gnome does not support it
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
do you have gnome-power-manager installed?. i didn't know what desktop env your were using so i couldn't really reply to what app
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
with apt-get gnome-power-* you should be able to get all the apps needed to configure lid code
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zachf714:
Thanks :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
Hahahahaha Nice
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zachf714:
Power manager is already installed but when I shut the lid it goes into a state that won't wake up
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
I found if you go into dconf you can turn off the suspend features and set your lid action close to screen off. However that might be raring only.

Otherwise x3 had a terminal command that would shut the screen off here in his thread I think or the github/config section. Might be worth looking into.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zachf714:
I'm using raring can you tell me what to do ... If necessary in a pm. I'm not sure where dconf is
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
I'm at work on a quick break so I can't at this moment but dconf should be in the menus.

I also noticed that newer builds of raring work better and are stable so you might want to make a new image. Use my raring guides and that may help out because the latest images are doing quite well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zachf714:
Alright thanks

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mecenas666:
Hello.

I have a problem with linux wifi connection in my tf101 (no wifi connections available at settings in lubuntu 1.2...). What kernel should i use to make it work? There are many kernels at 1 page of the topic and I don't know which is the best at this moment and gives the best stability. Somebody help me? Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
From the op, get the kernels labeled as 2.6.36, 1.2ghz, 1.4, or 1.6ghz. Also download and extract the supplemental file below those 3 kernel downloads.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mecenas666:
Thank U. Is it possible to make it through tubuntu installer or do i have to work with linux command line? I think i can install kernel in this way, but how with supplements?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
If you flash 2.6.36 kernel, you won't need supplement files, I think, try to flash ( with tubuntu app ) a 2.6.36 kernel of your choice
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mecenas666:
I was trying to do it yesterday with 1.4GHz version and android did't even boot after that. I'm not so good in terminal commands so i'm trying to do everything that is possible in tubuntu installer.

Tell me if i'm doing it right:

I replace initrd-2.6.38 in tubuntu installer "kernel" folder with this kernel from first post (that one with 1.4GHz) and rename it to "initrd-2.6.38". Then in tubuntu installer advanced section i install 2.6.38 chromium kernel (it should be this one 1.4Ghz that i put in kernel folder, am i right?).

Can u also tell me if there is a plan to put in this topic Ubuntu Raring image that shouldn't be configured and will be able to install it exactly the same like lubuntu (without command line etc.)? It will be very useful for users that are totally noobs in command line, just like me.

Lest question for the future: when i flash tf101 in tubuntu installer with "Android Only" option i will have clean android prime install with no remains of Linux installation (permanent and fully delete ubuntu files from memory, or something will stay)?

Sorry for so many question, but i was searching information about it many hours with no result.

Thanks in advance!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
I dont remember exactly but kernel img should be named as linux.img or xlinux.img or jlinux.img ( Replace one of them )

If it didnt replaced anything you're not good.

Then, What SBK V do you have ? Cause SBKV1 have some problem with 2.6.36 kernel and have kernel panic almost every boot.

For raring img, I think TomTcom guide is applicable for everyone, including noobs and it is personalisable so it can not be a prebuilt img,

And to finish yes, you will have a fully stock android tab when you choose android Only
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mecenas666:
Thank U very much, now everything is clear for me.You really helped me to understand it. I will try to replace linux.img with new kernel and reflash, maybe it will help. Yes, i have SBK1 so it may be the reason of my problems.

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------

Ok, now everything is ok with kernel 1.6Ghz, thank you, wifi is working very well :)

Is it normal, that my tab is not waking up after suspend/sleep? I'm trying to press every button with no luck.

Which one is actually better for out tf101: ubuntu raring or lubuntu? I don't know it if there is a sense for me to change it and take some time to install raring (like i was saying earlier, i'm not as good in command line and have no ubuntu on my PC so it will take some time to install it - is it worth?)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Raring or lubuntu is a personal choice. I believe raring has better stability. However raring has a much longer install time and you must install the GUI manually.

For tab not waking up, locate an icon in the menus called dconf. Find options for suspend and turn it off. Suspend doesn't work right on the tab.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mecenas666:
Ok, I understand. Thank you for information.

Last question: after flashing TWRP Recovery--> Android Revolution--> Reflash lubuntu kernel (in tubuntu installer) i have boot loop while booting up linux (Android works very well)... Display is black and cursor is blinking. Did i something wrong?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Sounds like it was done right. Is the twrp recovery version compatible with the Android you are using?

You could reflash the kernel again. That won't erase anything.

Also in the op I think there is an instruction in it. Read through it. I know there's a lot of info but there may be some options or methods to fix it in the op.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] josteink:
Tried it out. Followed this Guide here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2141409

While a million times better than last time I tried Ubuntu on the transformer, it's still not stable enough for me to use on a daily basis, so I'll revert back to Android.

Appreciate the effort though.

A few things I'd like to highlight: If you are flashing using OLiFE and can't get wlan0 to show up, try updating your kernel image to the one in the linked guide. You can flash this img-file directly to the SOS partition using nvflash without modifying the one embedded in OLiFE's kernel-folder.

Changing keyboard layout doesn't seem to work from the GUI. My guess is you'll need to replace the asusec-related files in the file-system, as described in the CM10 thread, as Ubuntu too seem to depend on this implementation.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39430313&postcount=2395

Other than that: Good job so far. Might come back later if things keep on improving at this speed :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
Just FMI, what kind of problem did you have with stability ? And what kernel did you use ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] josteink:
First things first, I used the kernel linked in this post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2093041

Seems the link I provided wasn't a different one than the one I originally thought it was ;)

As for issues... My main issues were:

- Most Desktop Linux software is not optimized for memory use the same way Android-apps (and other "mobile" apps) are. If you are browsing a lot, you will see memory consumption hit the roof quickly.

- This causes other issues, like freezing (memory fragmentation?) and complete lock ups.

- The keydock keyboard would occationally not work (like in Android really), but since this is "desktop" Ubuntu, it's not touch-optimized enough for that to work properly.

- Scrolling was a bit weird. You had scroll-gestures on the screen itself, but not on the trackpad, and they were the "wrong" way (swipe up to scroll backwards, etc). Moving windows with gestures was stupendously slow.

- Sometimes you had to boot into Linux 2 or 3 times before you made it all the way to the desktop. Other times it would lock up before the GUI came, or just reboot itself.

Basically. A few issues here and there which in effect degraded the total experience to the point where I wasn't willing to put up with it as my "main" stable day-to-day tablet OS.

I value stability over most other aspects, even the ability to install a tiling WM on my Android-tablet :p

I'm not going to downplay the effort put into this though. Definitely much better (and much easier) to get going) than tghe original efforts people had with regard to getting Ubuntu on the transformer. Those barely worked at all. And that was after massive efforts to get things installed at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
You have some valid points. I do wish some things worked better but Ubuntu Touch is supposed to really be the answer. Not the images and kernels we use here. This is hobby and fun. I have made newer raring builds and found them to be dam stable but again not truly touch optimized.

I have also run out of memory and the command escapes me but to free the memory on the device the commands didn't work.

X3 our dev got swap working and that may help out too. You'll have to read back through the op, I had it working and then changed stuff.

If your looking for better hybrid/laptop/tablet/touch type operation I suggest getting a new tab that will support Ubuntu Touch. This tf101 has had it's day and just really fun to mess with IMHO.

As you can see from other threads, jelly bean still suffers from sod and random reboots. Asus didn't give devs newer source so they are trying their best on the android side of things.

Just my 2 cents...well 4 maybe I wrote quite a bit. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] josteink:
I didn't mean it as a harsh criticism, but since you did ask, I decided to be a bit specific. I do appreciate the efforts. But as for SODs and RRs I insist my build of CM10.1 (with Timduru's Katkernel) has been 100% free of SODs and RR for most users. Which was why I decided to go back to that. ;)

At least for now. Maybe I'll get back to ubuntu later on.

But like you said, the TF101 is getting old, and there's not likely to be too much "serious" efforts into getting fully functional versions of new OSes for it. Which is a shame, but I can see why. If you're going to build anything new and fancy these days, there's little point targeting something lower than Tegra 3.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
I asked, not TomTcom :P

And I'm glad you answered, it's allways good to have different point of view, and it can help dev to know what's going on ;)

Some point you quoted can be solved like TomTcom said, but yes it's a bit hard to have it as daily OS IMO.

Anyway I'm still enjoying it :) Printing, have some cool programs etc, it's awesome !
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
I didn't mean mine as a mean response or anything so no worries it's all good.

I would like to see more out of the tf101 but with these types of devices I'll just have to get a new one soon anyhow.

Asus bothers me on how they give up support quickly. What truly bothers me is how long the cell phone companies and the makers take to get working jelly bean when I've been using aokp on my s3 for a while.

As a result the tab could probably do more but never will. It is a good device and I'll run it into the ground probably before I get a new one but I will get one supporting Ubuntu touch.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
Yup, except the interface IMO, Ubuntu touch will be a verry good thing ! I just hope classic interface will be available
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] st0nedpenguin:
I'd be happier with Ubuntu touch if it were even a real Linux install.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Yeah I second that one. I'd like to see how much desktop capabilities it has because the press releases by canonical indicated full desktop functionality.

Like I said the easiest way to get unity on 12.10 is to use 11.10 img then upgrade.

13.04

With a lot of stuffing around yesterday I got it installed... (using the upgrade path)

One thing for people to note before doing it.. Make sure you have enough space.. I have a 32GB TF101 and have 12GB setup for the Lubuntu part.

I ran the normal "do-release-upgrade" - What failed .. after doing apt-get update and then upgrade..

I ran do-release-upgrade again.. working fine.. started the update.. system downloaded all the packages and then after a bit of stuffing around I restarted.. I was left with no icons no wireless .. etc.. not good

Anyway: apt-get dist-upgrade

What gave me that everything was broken.. apt-get dist-upgrade -f

Started upgrading all the packages.. (again)..

Then restarted and ran apt-get dist-upgrade .. updated more..

Restarted and everything is back to normal.. Now reporting using 13.04

Appears to be working fine

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

I can't get this to work using my current build.. I have been googing for a few hours now, Can't get xrandr to rotate the display - Any one have any ideas?

EDIT::: Found out that we need to have the NVIDIA drivers installed to get xrandr to work.. I flashed jhanti's kernel and installed the nvidia driver and was able to get rotate to work....!! However Back to 2.6 for me as northing working correctly in the 3.1 kernel.. Apart from the nvidia drivers..

.. So have to wait until kernel version 3 is stable

The first time Chromium loads fine however I could not load pages with flash based content.. They pages just would not load at all..

Also tired to remove the hardware decode flag.. still no joy.. any page with flash content.. will not load..

I can try again using nvidia drivers and the 3.1 kernel.. See if it works, however that is very unstable.

Here's one more, it's the latest of the Raring images. There won't be anymore made since it is an official release. I'm under the assumption you would do your best to run apt-get update and dist-upgrade or apt-get upgrade...google the commands for all the differences if you don't know.

Thanks for the links TomTcom, Last time I tired to build the net install it took too long.. I am going to wait (maybe forever) until the 3.1 kernel has been more developed so I can get Nvidia driver support. - Very happy with the way the TF101 is currently working :)

I did try Ubuntu touch (rubbish).. Oh and thanks for the guides for flashing the custom ROM.. Very helpful! :) :good:

Do you know if you can flash the Ubuntu RARing image directly using Tubuntu app? I noticed your drop box file ends in .img
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
You're welcome. Development is slowing down and while I can certainly understand waiting I don't really use my tab for much at all so I personally don't have any issues wiping it at a moments notice.

I haven't been impressed with what has been going on with Ubuntu touch but it's so new that I think I will try it when I get a new tab that is supported directly instead of waiting for a ported version.

Good luck!
