Driver? No, of course. You can use upowerd or /sys/class/power_supply (I'm using it in awesome wm widget) to find info about batteries.

You already use nexus7 image 12.10. Currently I'm stopped porting of 13.04 ubuntu basic image, because spring is here)) So, 12.10 is pretty stable and covered all my needs. Of course, I will prepare new 13.04 img, but I don't know when.

Wow, this is sadly... Try to give the tablet for professionals to diagnose, maybe it is really died. No luck.

You can do simple video edit in linux, and this tablet can help you, I think. But for pro-editing you will need a laptop, of course.

Currently no. I'm trying with suspend, but seems like Xorg is not supported early suspend...

I have some problems with microsd card only. Also yes, you loose some IO speed if linux will be installed on external sdcard.

Re: Native Ubuntu Linux on Infinity tf700 v0.8.1

Hey rabits for the next installer could you also include a more variety of kernels to instal with it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] seven2099:
how does External SD performance fair if you are using data2sd on one of those blazing fast class 10 cards... and if you install directly onto that external SD will that be slower? or will it be faster..

right now i've been using a slow ass external microsd and that was really slowing this down but when using internal its actually 3x faster... so i'm thinking of getting one of the cards mentioned in that data2sd fix and roll with that.

Additionally, would it be possible to make an external hdd bootable for this dualboot? (usb.2.0) - the reason for asking is because I could technically mod my keyboard to have SSD 60 gig internally, however I'd like to make sure it gets put to good use.

Thoughts?
[Asus Transformer TF700] rabits:
For what reason I need to do this? What kernel do you need and why?

USB2.0 interface speed is quite small and is not well suited for everyday use. But, of course, you can boot from any media (including usb HDD). Installer will prepare basic rootfs partition and you can extend it to device size or create second partition and mount it in linux environment.

We'd like more Kernel options so we can ensure that we can enable all the right tweaks/disable fsync when installing the new kernel.

Also, if/when Minecraft runs at its best on this, about how fast would it be? As in, will it be able to use the full extent of the Tegra 3 card and be just as fast as a normal computer? Or will it run at about half the speed?

Hi any advice on how to configure the touchpad? I tried installing some generic tools but they didn't have any affect. How do I disable and enable it?

Edit: Nevermind, got it:

xinput set-int-prop 9 "Device Enabled" 8 0

To disable, replace 0 with 1 to enable
[Asus Transformer TF700] BJSerpas:
There was a link where he said "download loader," but I had to remove it from my quote since xda doesn't allow new members to post links. Basically, it's just a loader that lets you play Minecraft without needing to login with a minecraft.net and/or Mojang account. If you bought Minecraft already and you have a working wifi connection, you don't need to worry about it. This would only be for people who need to test Minecraft without having an internet connection (since wifi under this version of Ubuntu doesn't always work). If you want to see the link he posted, click the arrow by his name in the quote in my post and you will be sent to it.

Also, for everyone here: I asked a friend of mine who is a really good all-around programmer to take a look at making that wrapper for LWJGL, and he didn't make it seem like it would be all too complicated, albeit a little time-consuming. So the good news is we might have full Minecraft on this thing soon. The question is, how fast will it be?
[Asus Transformer TF700] spidasense:
thanks man. that is awesome! I guess as fast as you can get him to do it! :p I would probably donate to his paypal or something if he could get it working.

btw where does the loader program install minecraft to?
[Asus Transformer TF700] spidasense:
Re: Native Ubuntu Linux on Infinity tf700 v0.8.1

Ok so as far as getting it to load up, that's as far as it will go. It has like 1 fps and although it will register the mouse over when trying to select an option, I can't select anything when clicking. Idk much about programming but maybe it will run with cpu optimizations and whatever programming jargon you previously stated
[Asus Transformer TF700] BJSerpas:
I'm not quite sure if he has an xda account, but I'll be sure to let him know he's starting to accumulate some fans lol. In between work he's been teaching me how to program (I'm a rookie at best), so hopefully he can teach me a few things while fixing Minecraft so that I can help him get it done faster.

And Minecraft is usually installed to /home/$USER/.minecraft

Where $USER is whatever your username is. Note that the .minecraft folder is hidden.

Yeah, it isn't going to run without full hardware optimization. It's running in complete software mode as it is, meaning it isn't using the Tegra 3 graphics card at all. As for the buttons not working, rabits stated that JInput doesn't quite work yet. Until this all gets fixed, Minecraft won't be playable. But, this is incredible progress in my opinion. (Though given all these problems with a Linux OS, I don't know why Mojang doesn't get off their stupid already and just give us a Tablet/Tegra 3 version of the game for Android.)

Planning to switch to tablet now that laptop is dead

Hello xda devs, I am new to the forum, but the software here has been a huge help through many roots/flashes/recoveries.

I have just a simple question: is the virtual disk image stored up on that server? (I'm not a file compression buff) or is it constructed at install time? If it's the latter, could someone be so kind as to dump the image somewhere where I could access it? (I'm in the process of reconstructing my device after some bad flashing) I was wondering just how well it would function under the version of QEMU that is up on the play store at the moment. I am looking into a lot of things related to virtualization, as I am working on a rather large Xen installation (incidentally, it seems that's getting an ARM port, I can't wait to see how that performs on some of these devices). Anyway, thanks for taking time out of your busy schedules to read/flame my post. I look forward to seeing how the software here evolves :D

Thanks,

Seriu

Re: Native Ubuntu & Ubuntu-Touch Linux on Infinity tf700 v0.8.2

I'm having several issues with the new 0.8.2 installer.

On the linux side the system checks the filesystem for errors on every mount because the session doesn't close properly.

And on the android side, are you sure you have included latest Hund's kernel (2.0 stable)? System tuner pro informs that there is a maximum frequency of 1,9 Ghz, the system runs at 1,75 Ghz on balanced mode and if I select performance mode the tablet freezes and reboots. I've running Hund's kernel for several days without issues and the max frequency was always 1,75.

Re: Multiboot Linux on Infinity tf700 v0.8.3

So when using the graphical installer to install touch preview, does this replace android? Because in the first screen you have to select touch-preview or a version of android.

Then, if I choose touch-preview at this stage, do I also choose the rootfs for touch-preview in the latter screens? Sorry if this is obvious, but the installer is a little confusing.

Thanks for all the great work, rabits.
[Asus Transformer TF700] TheMarkster:
No, it's not replacing Android. This is probably the option to select which one to boot by default.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rabits:
No, installer never replace basic system

This is selection of initrd to boot your basic system.

If you select Touch-Preview on this stage - you cant load your basic android... If you want to get ubuntu-touch preview - simple install need rootfs archive - it will boot from linux menu later.

Yes, this is confusing - I'll try to review this realization in next release...

uninstalling

@Svashtar -- I'm using CROMI 3.4.4, so your method of uninstalling might be different. What I did was just run sbdag's kernel only installer. That gets rid of multiboot.

Do a search for "DOWNLOAD Kernel Installer v2.3 Mirror 1" at the CROMI developer's thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2049274

Also, to get rid of the rootfs.img file, look in /sdcard/linux on your tf700t.

@rabits -- I suggest you include uninstall instructions in the first post just below the install instructions. (Even better, include an uninstall option in the installer.) Knowing how to uninstall will probably encourage more people to try this out. Also, please correct me if I left anything out above.

Long time follower but have finally joined so I could get in on the development of this great project (the TF700T has the potential to be the best all around mobile device by the end of this).

I have not yet unlocked my Infinity, but have read many of the how to's on this forum, and I have a relevant question to ask here before I start. If I desire to have access to the NVFlash but have a firmware beyond 9.4.5.30, is downgrading firmware a possibility toward making that work (I say it that way since I'm not sure if firmware is still allowed to be downgraded on very recent firmwares and haven't seen anything saying that a downgraded firmware will function with the NVFlash method)? So, if that turns out to even be possible the rest of my question to you all and Rabits is, how are you actually treating your own tablets, did you make a point of getting access to the NVFlash, is it something you recommend going out of ones way to make sure to accomplish before messing around too much, or has it not been a big deal living without it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
Hey, thanks for the answer.

I'm on CROMI, too (3.4.6), so i guess its safe to follow your lead :)

Thanks again!

I am only asking this because i think my CROMI install became somewhat more slow and had one random reboot - which i never had before.

Maybe it is 3.4.6, but it is more noticeable after multiboot + 10.04.

Don't know what could be a reason, if at all.
