Re: Native Ubuntu Linux on Infinity tf700

Is the DPI problem fixed for another desktop distribution then (such as XFCE)?

Will this weekend release be Ubuntu 12.04 still?

If only the installer has changed, can I then use 0.7 or will there be something new coming this weekend (except the installer)?

I don't wanna miss something :)

Wish you the best ;)

Muting speaker

Hi,

I've just installed this on my TF700 and wanted to say thanks for a great piece of work. Very slick

One question though: is there any way to mute the speaker? Even when I plug in headphones the speaker keeps playing. I think this might prove annoying to my fellow commuters on the train. :) For some reason not everyone likes Autechre. Strange.

Thanks,

Vic.

PS, posted this dev thread by mistake. This seems a more appropriate place. Apologies.

Bit lost!!

Hey Love your work so far but there is a couple things that I don't understand. I will apreciate if some of you guys can help me has am not an expert on ubuntu. By the way all I want to use this is for 1. Browser 2. Libre Office 3. Code Blocks.

First I have sucessfully install ubuntu but even do I had everything in my external sd card it install it on my internal sdcard. If someone can explain better how to insatll it on extarnal since I have a 64gb class 10. Also I read here that in order to remove just flash another kernel but how does it get rid off the partion it create it?? Also does it detec if a plug a HDD or if I have two External sdcard(one in dock the other on the side)? final does it suppport HDMI I haven't try it just bought this for school. Thanks and sorry if a mispell something english is not my first language
[Asus Transformer TF700] rtfpessoa:
I'm no expert too but maibe i can helpyou.

When you intall it it creates a file on your internal sorage with 10GB or what storage you used i think if you move it to your SD it will probably work since it checks a lot of partitions for that file.

To remove the ubuntu just delete that file and install a new kernel i think..hope it helps

Java issues with Minecraft on tf700 ubuntu

Thanks for the recommendation--XFCE is installed now and runs great so far!

I have an unrelated question regarding Java issues when trying to run Minecraft for my son, so we don't have to buy yet another computer for him, as Pocket Edition just doesn't cut it anymore (can't say I blame him). I am able to run Minecraft and get through the login screen, but after Done Loading, we get the dreaded black screen (see thread 2087717 on ubuntuforums [dot] org for more info -- this forum won't let me post outside links yet):

Updating the lwjgl libraries and OpenJDK6 and 7 don't help, so I found something somewhere that hinted that Oracle JRE 7 (or 6 or 8) is needed. On Oracle's Page (again can't put the link--grrr!--but it's the jre7 download page, with 1880261 in the url), I am not sure what to pick for the Linux install--x86 or x64? I thought the tf700 was neither, so not sure where to go from here. Thanks again!

You have an ARM processor, which is neither x86 nor 64. Desktop binaries will not work unless they've been compiled for ARM.

If other DE supports X DPI...

Yes, with good keyboard mapping, fonts and some other fixes. For 13.04 I need to prepare deb packages with the tegra3, tf201dock and tf700 settings, it was possible to apply them to the base Ubuntu system - this is a big challenge for me...

0.8.0 installer is backward compatible with 0.7.1 rootfs release.

This is interesting problem. I'll try to solve it.

I missed this use case, but I'll check it soon.

Linux Install 0.8.0 BETA

Hi, Guys! Great news - this is new cool installer!

If you're advanced user - you can help me:

Linux Install 0.8.0 BETA - guys, could you test this beta? Warning: I changed virtual disk place to /data/media/linux/rootfs.img

Features:

Pretty simple touch interface

Possible to install and use Linux without a keyboard or dock

Install root filesystem archive (or skip it and install only bootimage)

Data2sd support

Any device to install (usb media, sdcards or internal virtual disk file)

Use android /data partition as /home directory for users

Possible to autobackup old virtual rootfs image file

Test process:

Download installer

Download 0.7.1 rootfs

Rename tf700-rootfs-0.7.1.tar.lzma to rootfs-ubuntu-12.10-0.7.1.tar.lzma

Move this 2 files to internal (/sdcard) or external SD card

Reboot tf700 device and go to recovery

Start zip installer

After installation please, save log

Write here problems and your suggestions:

Attach saved installation log

Give me verbose information about your device (tf700 or tf700t, versions of recovery and android rom, locked/unlocked, rooted, data2sd, any other info)

Steps to reproduce

Screenshots or changed data information (present rootfs.img or changed sdcard etc...)

Thank you!))

EDIT: Is it possible to install the dualboot without keyboard? I am downloading the files now, but I don't have the keyboard right now. I though you might have changed it. If you didn't, it might be my first suggestion :) (a lot of people don't have the keyboard and I think it is really a shame to not be able to dualboot because of that).

Re: Native Ubuntu Linux on Infinity tf700

I have just tried the new installer and it is BEAUTIFUL!

Now the installation is EXTREMELY SIMPLE, and I don't see how someone could have a problem.

Positive things:

- beautiful installation through AROMA

- Many options with good explanations

- Ability to choose between a dualboot with android or an only Ubuntu installation (if you don't want android at all)

- Now it seems like the Ubuntu image has a home folder, so that your files can be saved on the internal sd card.

- Ability to install the dualboot without the need of a keyboard.

- The English translation is very good (didn't see any mistakes)

Negative things:

NONE :)

Thanks again to Rabits for his AWESOME WORK!!! :)

If this weekend release is as good, I think you will make a lot of people happy :)

ps: have you included the _that kernels in the next release? I think you said so, but I didn't see it in the github.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rabits:
No, installer do not provide this ability. This is too dangerous. If someone want have oneboot to ubuntu, please write me - I can write this possibility into installer.

In 0.8.0 installer already applied patches from _that kernel to basic Asus kernel and change configs.

Re: Native Ubuntu Linux on Infinity tf700

I though I saw such an option. Sorry ... ^^

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

In the beta you posted earlier today, only 3 Clemsyn kernels are available, no _that kernel. May be you are talking about the 0.8.0 non-beta?

A stupid question: when you wanna install the rootfs on external microsd, why do you have to lose everything on it? Does it format it during the process? That's pretty annoying. Is formating or whatever it is necessary?

Keep up the AMAZING WORK Rab. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] O-2-L:
cheers bud, appreciate it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lnx4tw:
I just finished the install.

The 0.8.0 install is beautifully simple. (I did not have a chance to go through the 0.7.1 install, so I cannot compare.)

I installed it to my internal sd and, while the install took ~10 minutes, boot up is really really quick. I have wifi, sound, touch working really well. (Can't connect to hidden wifi, but that is not a big deal. I saw it mentioned earlier in the thread.)

I originally bought this tablet with hopes of running Linux on it. I cannot wait to go home and keep testing. Amazing work!!! :D

[Asus Transformer TF700] rabits:
Kernel contains Clemsyn OC patch, but in list you have Clemsyn "configurations" (performance sh scripts for android). Kernel - is my customized with _that patches. I can't use prepared _that kernel, because it's not support linux - only android, as I see in kernel config.

I've to be sure that the installation will be exactly the way I expect. That's mean - on clean filesystem. Also - this is simpliest way))

Before installation you can backup your files from sd and, after installation, create second vfat partition on free space.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rabits:
WiFi can hangs at boot time. Reboot your system and try again - wifi should works ok.

So even though it is written Clemsyn kernel it is _that modded by you? You should change the name in the installer because it is confusing

LSMOD (SHELL without UI)

zram

bcmdhd

cfg80211

I think this just happens if i reboot or shutdown ubuntu and try to go to ubuntu again. If i go to android and after that to ubuntu all is ok.

Any idea why? and how to solve it?

Can this have something to do with ubuntu files be on android /data/ubuntu/*? Do you recomend to untick this option on the installation?

Any other recomendations?

Using last files from your goo.im (linux-install-0.8.0.zip and rootfs-ubuntu-12.10-0.8.0.tar.lzma) all appears to be ok including wifi without dock. Awesome work you did.

Just two things:

The keyboard on login after a key press puts twice the letter i choose as reported for someone before.

And in the boot screen you removed "i" option but in the input ist still there one "i" lost.

7- took ages .... i left it but a long time passed... 0% didn't change... i rebooted

8- noticed kernel change at boot

9- 4 penguins linux boot

10- select boot android or linux with volume ... if no input linux is default! probly should be default android

11- linux asks for password- ubuntu ... must be patient and lucky! ... no:crying:

Ubuntu is working great on my data2sd Infinity. I've installed xfce and everything seems to be running fast and smooth.

My only issue is that the files cpu1.sh to cpu3.sh weren't copied to /etc during the installation process and the three speed modes weren't working as expected. I had to copy the files manually and give them the correct permissions.

As a suggestion, in the next revision of the installer you could try to include Hundsbuah's new kernels. They include new governors like pegasusq that seem to work very well with our quad core Infinity.

Run loader and download minecraft `java -cp Minecraft\ Mac\ Linux.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame`

Replace files in ~/.minecraft/bin/natives and ~/.minecraft/bin by local installed:

cp /usr/lib/jni/liblwjgl.so ~/.minecraft/bin/natives/

cp /usr/share/java/jinput-20100502.jar ~/.minecraft/bin/jinput.jar

Run launcher again

So, minecraft running, but too slow (used software GL) and without input (click buttons in main menu). TODO:

LWJGL supports GLES, but in different classes. If someone can wrap gles function in gl functions - maybe we could run minecraft with good speed.

passwd - for change password, adduser - to create user. This is standart linux commands, rtfm.
