Can't get Ubuntu to work

Hi guys, this is kinda awkward...

I've installed TWRP, then MultiROM, then the modified TWRP, then the kernel, and finally added Ubuntu to the roms list (using the link provided in the previous page).

It installs without any errors, and I can boot my main android rom without any problems. But when I select Ubuntu to boot, it just reboots again to MultiROM.

What am I doing wrong?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bonzer2u:
did u select do NOT share kernel??????

I just flashed 6/27 saucy and is getting better but no cigar quite yet.....
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Smeagol44:
I don't have the option to "not share kernel". When installing the ubuntu rom, when I select "ubuntu" as rom type, the option to share the kernel disappears.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
It sounds like the kernel you installed is not kexec capable. Find the list of the kexec enabled kernels in the op, download, and install like you would if you did not have multirom. Main menu-Install-pick kexec kernel-flash-reboot-try booting ubuntu again. Good luck.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Smeagol44:
I've tried with this kernel:

Kernel w/ kexec-hardboot patch (stock 4.2.2): kernel_kexec_422.zip

I'm on stock 4.2.2 as my main rom.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
Try booting to recovery advanced-multirom-inject curr. boot sector. If that does not work, then advanced-multirom-list roms-ubuntu-re-patch init.

Also, if you renamed your ubuntu install, make sure there are no spaces in the name.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Smeagol44:
Didn't worked. I'm now downloading another image: http://ftp.icm.edu.pl/packages/linux-ubuntu-cdimage/daily-preinstalled/current/ from this link.

But I really wanted 13.04 =(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
The May-02 13.10 version will not work. It is basically an alpha, with major issues. It will let you install, and then boot and go through the setup. After that, it will cease to function. The screen is unreadable due to what i assume is a major driver issue. It is not meant for use.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Smeagol44:
Dammit!

Is there any other mirror for 13.04 ? I think I have no other options to try...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
None that I know of. Try another kexec kernel. Still sounds like kexec is not being called. Remember, install it in the normal way in twrp, and not in the multirom sub menus.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Smeagol44:
Tried with this one > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1775798

Didn't worked.

DAMN!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
If i am not mistaken, only build #246 has kexec. Is that the one you downloaded?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Smeagol44:
Nope.. I've downloaded build #249. I'm downloading build #246 right now.

Also, can it be that MultiROM isn't compatible with my bootloader? I'm on 4.18.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] minipot:
Just a quick question about bodhi, can u install apps via synaptic package manager or do u have to use terminal? Just cos' I read somewhere in the bodhi forums that you have to use terminal.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
4.18 should be fine. 4.13 was the bootloader version that was giving some people problems.

If all else fails, save an error log and post it here for tasssadar. He will be able to help using that.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Smeagol44:
How do I "save an error log" ?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
Reboot and when you get to the boot menu, tap the misc tab in the upper right. Tap save error log to sd card. Then boot into android. Open a file explorer capable of browsing root filesystem (es file manager, astro, ...). Open /data/media/0/multirom/error.txt
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Smeagol44:
Ok... so. Here it is.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
I am sure once tassadar sees this, he will be able to help. I will look at it as well, and see if anything jumps out at me. Tasssadar will be the best bet, though.

Edit: Your error log shows ubuntu as type 2, where mine is type 4. Before installing ubuntu, are you installing it as the img.gz, or are you unzipping it first to just the .img file alone? Also, when installing, are you choosing the android/ubuntu touch option, or just the ubuntu option?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Smeagol44:
Forget it. Already solved the problem. I can't believe I was so dumb:

I had the wrong version of the modified TWRP, (v2.3.something). Installed the v2.5.0.0 and everything worked like a charm.

Sorry for all this.

BTW: Ubuntu runs awesome!! Thanks everyone for the help!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
Lol, awesome! Glad to hear you got it going!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Nah, new Ubuntu touch images gonna need some work. TWRP 2.6 should come out sometime soon (one or two weeks), so I'm gonna do it all at once when it is out - merge 2.6 into my modified TWRP and add support for new Ubuntu touch.

Locked Bootloader & MultiROM

Hi

I have 2 android ROM & UbuntuTouch + Ubuntu Desktop

and i wondering what will happen if i locked my bootloader now ?!?! :confused:

i read about locking after installing custom rom but didn't find about locking bootloader and multi rom (with ubuntu...!)

:confused:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cmason37:
It will wipe MultiROM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Yeah, I finally got Ubuntu Touch to boot, but it's 5AM here and I still want to change some things for next release.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
MultiROM v11 and a new recovery were released. It supports new Ubuntu Touch images, but keep in mind that Ubuntu is still very much in development, and will sooner rather than later change in some way so that it becomes incompatible again.

Recovery now has screen rotation built-in and uses Timur's USB host kernel, so users with car-mounted n7 can rejoice)

Recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/download/12b7e68xz4dr6gp/TWRP_multirom_n7_20130709.img

MultiROM v11: http://www.mediafire.com/download/8w2i4o3lzf81bdx/multirom_v11_n7-signed.zip

BTW: multirom_v10_n7-signed.zip has over 6700 downloads, I wonder how many people are actually using this thing Oo
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
Thanks for the awesome update tasssadar. I can tell you for sure that having the host mode charging kernel built into TWRP is a HUGE advantage. Been using it since your test build and has proved itself a priceless addition to your excellent MultiROM.

[MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION] - Would it be possible to orientate the MultiROM boot screen in "landscape" to match the new recovery? (Maybe even have it an option)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] ikslawlok:
Thank you for making possible to use adb in MultiROM
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
It certainly would be possible, a lot of things are. But not easy - besides rotating the screen, you have to also adapt the UI to landscape resolution. TWRP uses themes, so it is pretty easy - just grab 1280x800 theme instead of 800x1280 - whereas MultiROM has all UI elements hardcoded*. I might do it some time later (half the work is already done, since I can reuse some code I wrote for TWRP), but it is certainly not a priority.

*To use themes in MultiROM would be kinda overkill - MultiROM's UI consists of like 8 buttons, a bit of text and some scrollviews, so I chose not to do that.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] farmerbb:
That would be a feature I'd love to (eventually) see, I use MultiROM primarily so I can boot into Ubuntu desktop, which I always use in landscape. Would be nice for MultiROM to match ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] blmvxer:
I tried installing last nights saucy build for Ubuntu touch, not desktop. And the install went fine, but it keeps on restarting the device while it attempts to boot. Anything that I may be doing wrong?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cmason37:
I can confirm same thing happens to me. Maybe it's a problem with the mountpoints?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
I've just tried to install newest images from folder "pending" in here and they work fine (except I can't wake it up after it decides to enter sleep Oo): http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/

If these don't work for you, make sure you have at least 2.5gb of free space on the device prior to the installation, and pull /tmp/recovery.log after the installation is complete so that I can take a look.

BTW: I'm going to holidays for next week or so, probably without internet connection, so if it breaks in the meantime, well, too bad ^
[Nexus 7 Original Development] blmvxer:
The builds are working in the place you suggested. Highly buggy though.

Password protected WiFi won't connect, obviously some features from the new system settings don't work, if you start to close an app via the gesture but swipe the app back in place the whole os becomes laggy as crap.

Overall some nice improvements in the search bar and showing more installed apps on the app-dash.

I cannot wait to see canonical release more stable builds and the features that are ahead. :)

I updated to Modified recovery (TWRP 2.6.0.0) / Multirom v.11 last week and was not able to flash the tilapia builds of Paranoid Android 3.65 or 3.67 (pa_tilapia-3.67-20130713.zip files) !

The PA-zip files (pa_tilapia-3.65-20130705.zip) worked without problems for weeks with previous multirom editions.

But the same zip file pa_tilapia-3.65-20130705.zip doesn't work with TWRP 2.6.

flash failed asset error ... tilapia...

the gapps package flash worked!

I flashed philz_touch_5.08.5-tilapia.zip (CWM recovery) and was able to flash pa_tilapia-3.67-20130713.zip without problem, but lost multirom !

I don't think there is a specific tilapia Multirom or TWRP 2.6 edition as there never was before ?

@ people having problems with getprop errors

Just remove the lines from the updater-script. You'll know which. Way simpler than building a new recovery (I'm sure no one would do that).
[Nexus 7 Original Development] djasis:
sorry no logs. Coz I've flashed previous TWRP with multiform V10, made full wipe and installed CM… =(

But I typed correct quote from the log. about "assert blah blah blah "

It's the first line in most ROM scripts.

Removing assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "tilapia" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "tilapia" from CM10 ROM update script (as sgt. meow told) is helpful and rom can be flashed with TWRP 2.6+multirom v11.

Maybe this is not yours twrp but CM10 problem…

Sorry if I was wrong.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pietropizzi:
I know about removing assert... line but its a TWRP 2.6 recovery problem, even with the unmodified one.

As I told the same zip file flashed fine with previous TWRP recoveries.

My guess would be that 2.6 isn't "dual" idenifiying as grouper+tilapia anymore.

Maybe I should have posted in the TWRP thread instead as its not Multiroms fault, sorry for that.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sgt. meow:
No sweat. I am just saying that it's better as a temporary solution for now.

An update for today updates Ubuntu touch's kernel. This breaks multi ROM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Well, I felt like working on this, so I did it. I'm not very happy with the landscape layout, it seems a bit awkward, there is a lot of unused space in lower left corner. If you have any idea how to make it better, do tell. (Look to the attached photo).

I forgot to change something in the recovery's image, I'll fix it soon. In the meantime, you can use the older recovery or remove the "assert" line from updater-script.

Found the bug, will be fixed soon. It happens only if you select ROM other than Internal.

Works fine for me. And Touch's kernel hasn't been... touched for weeks.

So, I will release new version of MultiROM and recovery to fix the bugs and add some new things soon, but I'm really not very happy about that landscape layout - what do you think?

Hi,

I wonder if someone could assist. I'm having an issue where Ubuntu refuses to boot. There are no errors, it doesn't even show Ubuntu, its just a black screen and then it goes back to the MultiROM boot selection screen, even after selecting Ubuntu and choosing boot it. I see the installed rom in both TWRP and the MultiROM screen.

I have the 3G version of the Nexus 7 32GB (tilapia) which is rooted and unlocked running Slimbean (4.2.2).

I have a bootloader version of 4.18

I've flashed multirom_v11_n7-signed.zip successfully with TWRP

I've flashed TWRP_multirom_n7_20130709.img successfully with fastboot-toolkit.exe.

I've flashed the stock kernel file: kernel_kexec_422.zip successfully with TWRP

I've successfully installed Ubuntu: saucy-preinstalled-armel+grouper.zip and saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip from the TWRP recovery "Add Rom" section.

I've tried on both OTG USB dongle and internal.

Any ideas? I'm all out.

Thanks!

You need to use the stable Raring release instead of Saucy.

MultiROM v12 and a new recovery were released. Recovery should work fine on tilapia now and auto-boot bug was fixed. MultiROM menu can now be rotated to landscape, use settings menu in recovery -> MultiROM to choose the rotation.

New recovery handles boot partition changes better. You can now use "Flash ZIP" option in "List ROMs" menu to flash a new kernel to secondary ROM and Aroma installer should work as intended.

Also, patched CM 10.1 kernel was updated, they fixed some security issue, I don't think it is really important though.

multirom_v12_n7-signed.zip

TWRP_multirom_n7_20130720.img

kernel_kexec_cm101-4.zip

After the Ubuntu installation is complete, pull a recovery log from /tmp/recovery log.

Thank you, that looks nice. I left the theme as is for now, I may change it later.

Yeah, that crossed my mind, the problem is that the simple GUI "framework" that MultiROM has can't draw text vertically. In fact, it can only draw text (in 4 sizes), rectangles and that "message box" window with a bit of transparency behind it, and I'm not sure if implementing vertical text is worth it. Again, I left it as is, I may return to it some time later.

Don't use apt-get upgrade. Ubuntu Touch won't use it for updates, they have a different system currently in development, so it is pointless for me to bother with making it work properly with multi-boot.

In what sense are you wanting to back up the secondary roms? You can always just pull a copy of the multirom folder off onto another device, especially right before you do any updates. It's how I keep a backup of my roms.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] joeG78:
The folder comes up empty with all my file browsers in any version of android also, that includes connecting to my laptop while running android. It seems as any version of android can't see the contents of the multirom folder.

If you boot into recovery, connect your nex7 to a computer, if you're running linux...run "adb root", then from directory you want to save to, "adb pull /sdcard/multirom ." It will take a bit of time to copy depending on how big the folder is.

If you're running windows, someone else will need to post how to b/c all my pc's have arch or debian linux.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
Having a pretty big issue with this new release. When installing secondary roms, if the rom uses gzip compression in the included ramdisk, it freezes at that message in the install progress. The screen flashes several times and it is stuck at the install screen. No way to back out. Roms like Illusion and Kickflip cannot be installed. those are the two I have tried, that installed fine on MultiRom v11. They both install and run fine as Internal, just not secondary. It almost acts like it is not sharing the internal kernel with the secondaries.

Curious if you're considering picking up a nexus 7 gen 2 (and developing multirom for it? ;))
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
I can't reproduce that. I tried to install Illusion ROM, and it worked fine. There is nothing in that log - you have to pull it after the recovery freezes with "adb pull /tmp/recovery.log".

I assume both of you have 3G version of N7. Is the ROM's ZIP file in internal memory or on USB drive? Are you installing it to internal memory or to USB drive?

That's weird, seems like your /data partition can't be unmounted. Run "adb shell busybox lsof" after you boot into the recovery (before installing) and show me the output on pastebin.

I simply don't have the money to just buy devices to develop on them. I already have a tablet, so if anything, I'd buy a new phone, but that's a little bit too expensive at the moment, too.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
[MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION] I will pull the log in just a few minutes.

I do not have 3g, only WiFi model. Zip is in internal memory. Installing as secondary to internal memory. No USB devices were used in either instance. The main reason I thought it was a problem with either multirom or twrp is it happened after first installing. To eliminate other problems, I fastboot back to stock, reinstalled twrp and multirom, and same issue. Will have the log shortly for you. Thanks for your help.

EDIT: For some reason, I cannot connect via adb while in recovery, only while booted to the Internal rom. The best I can do for now is go back to V11 to get my secondary install working again.
