Re: ubuntu touch - WIP Download available

Thanks Random :)

Its weird because in android 4.1.2 (which apperently what Ubuntu builds itself on) everything was working fine.

I forgot to check my init usb.
[Acer Iconia A500] randomblame:
nice! so what's it saying? I know when I built for some reason it wasn't including a few ubuntu specific files one bin and a lib specifically were missing
[Acer Iconia A500] giveen:
LOL, it WAS working on CM10.1 (Android 4.2.1) but when it went to Android 4.2.2, ADB broke. And yes, I do know about updating the adb/fastboot binaries and about how its suppose to pop up asking for a RSA digital signature and how the public key exists in ~/.android but it doesn't get created on my /data/misc/adb on my device

So on my Windows box, I went back down to the older version of ADB but it doesn't get seen either.

I guess we had a slight miscommunication there :( , I was saying I should check that, but nothing had changed.

flashing the system image freezes in recovery "extracting the ubuntu rootfs tarball..."

**just be prepared to wait along time, it will install**

did you say you had to use a physical keyboard? I cant get numbers when adding passphrase for wifi , it will work in note but I cant copy? will keep playing!

so this is pretty much a demo copy ,right ,because I dont see anyway to config unless through adb ,right?
[Acer Iconia A500] Vintage144:
**when installing , make sure you back up either on your sdcard or the internal , do not use the same memory where you put the system image , it write over the backup , it is a huge file**

You will get a boot loop (like me , but Im not too concerned with it, I have backups on my pc I can transfer)!

Hi, so at least to my knowlege, we are basically using a prebuilt version of ubuntu here, so really any fixes are just up to the team there?

I would love to have it working on my tab, as I have always felt a bit limited by android and I think Ubuntu touch aught to be a bit better, but I would love it to get more stable. So is this just a matter of waiting for a more stable version of the ubuntu part as a whole, or is their dev work on our end that is needed to make things work out better. I'm happy to help out if I can, though my skills on the os side, especially with ubuntu being unfamiliar are not that great.

Keep up the good work, I hope to get doing a bit more dev work when I have any free time, as my other device is a moto Atrix 2, which is locked down so hard I can't do **** on it.

[Acer Iconia A500] Kevin Roscom:
So I got this running off the March 1st daily build (since the download to the linked file kept failing in the middle) and it's pretty smooth, decent.. I think the camera, sound, and video drivers need to be ported though. I'm getting blocky text in the pull-down menu, a white screen on the camera, and videos don't play. I have no way of testing sound since the media player crashes when I try to load it.

The progress on this is amazing, I want to find a way to dual boot it, possibly by putting Android on my microSD. I'll test a daily build once a week and see how it all progresses. I'm really pleased with the UI and I believe it has much potential.

The Ubuntu image repository has been updated: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/current/

They've added a raring ringtail build above. They've also created an armhf build of the full ubuntu package here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-preinstalled/last-good-image/

This package includes the Nexus 7 display mod. It might work by using Randomblame's display layout fix, however the install process is more involved. I'll be testing that tonight.

Yes actually, same result as the raring dev preview, a black screen where nothing ever happens(or maybe I haven't waited long enough ;) ).
