- Wifi still needs to be connected manually.

From Android, download these two packages: netctl and dialog and place in somewhere you can get to from Arch...

In Arch open a terminal and remove the following (I can't remember which was installed so ignore any errors...):

sudo systemctl stop wicd
sudo systemctl NetworkManager
sudo systemctl disable wicd
sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager
sudo pacman -R wicd-gtk
sudo pacman -R networkmanager

Next install the following:

sudo pacman -U /pathyousavedto/dialog-1.2_20130523-2-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -U /pathyousavedto/netctl-1.3-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

Then each time you login (sorry :( ), open a terminal and enter:

sudo wifi-menu wlan0

I'm still trying to figure out what the issue is with wifi...

Dev work contines again...

- Fixed the DPI issue, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, add the red to the monitor section

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "MonitorLVDS"
VendorName "Nvidia"
ModelName "T33 Tegra3"
Option "DPMS" "true"
[COLOR=Red]Option "DPI" "240 x 240"[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Red]#[/COLOR]DisplaySize 218 136
EndSection

You could use 213 if you wanted smaller... I'll fix the font sizes too in the next update.

- Onscreen keyboard in lightdm: edit as root (sudo) /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter, remove red - add blue

[COLOR=Red]#[/COLOR]keyboard= [COLOR=Blue]xvkbd -secure -geometry 1500x400+250+750[/COLOR]

Looks like you still have to click the Accessibility icon in the top right to make it show though.

New rootfs is up. Auto-connect wifi is not working. See the Arch wiki Wireless Setup for manual instructions. I left NetworkManager service running (may work for someone?) so be sure to disable it before trying to connect manually. Also I suggest you not install /home to mmcblk0p8, I haven't updated my home files yet.

8/13/2013

I am putting my old rootfs and home files links back up. They "work" (wifi doesn't, I think). I have a rootfs with no auto wifi upped but not tested yet. Maybe tomorrow.

See the Dual-boot Linux on Asus Infinity TF700t thread for beta installers.... Remember to NOT choose /home on mccblk0p8, only in the rootfs!

Development thread is here - Not updated....

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]This rootfs is designed for those who are experienced Linux users. If you are not comfortable with or don't know what the command line is, this is not for you.[/FONT]

I have a modified moreD_cn's installer to allow you to correctly install your /home to SDcard. It is best if you only use this during a fresh install. REMEMBER if you have an existing install you

MUST

back up your home directory first or you

WILL

loose your /home files. Once installed you can copy them back.[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]

Installing:

[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]1) In Terminal Emulator:

# su
# mkdir /data/media/linux

2) Copy "[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]installer??.zip"[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif] to /sdcard

3) Copy [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]rootfs-archtf700t-8-14-2013.tar.lzma[/FONT] to microsd or SD

4) Boot to recovery

5) NANDROID BACKUP!!!

5) Install "[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]installer??.zip"[/FONT] - It stays at 90% for a while ~20 minutes

6) Enjoy dual-boot Linux Again...[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]7) REMEMBER, if you installed /home to anywhere other than in the rootfs (ie mmcblk0p8) and didn't use the modified installer, [/FONT]see roscop2k's excellent Linux tutorial (Thank you roscop2k!)

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]When logging in using Pad-Mode (no dock), make sure to tap the password text box TWICE and then tap Focus on the xvkbd.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Also type your login password carefully, if you make a mistake you will need to reboot... I'm working on it...[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]When you do updates for the time being use this – “sudo packer -Syyu --ignore xorg-server,xf86-input-evdev” otherwise you WILL break X[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Highly suggest changing user and root passwords because here they are:[/FONT]

﻿[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]User:root Password:root[/FONT]

﻿[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]User:archtf700t Password:archarm[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Thanks again to rabits, roscop2k and others for the help and encouragement![/FONT]
