I don't go into dev very often, so I don't know when I would have stumbled across that. Just wow, very excited to try this, as I'm very apprehensive about potentially messing up my device. Hopefully once I have nvflash I can contribute more around here!

Im still not 100% what android 4.2 does with directory mounting but i think /data/media/0 is emulated as /sdcard. Anyway it needs to be in /data/media not /sdcard/data/media. Run mv /SDcard/data/media/*.lzma /data/media/
[Asus Transformer TF700] tnjfitzy:
So I tried the "mv" command but it kept failing with some cross-check error. I thought I would try the "cp" command and it copied over straight away with no problems. I now after about 35 minutes have Ubuntu 12.10 working.

Thanks heaps for all the help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
I thought it looked in MicroSD, SD (dock), and the root of the internal sdcard (JB 4.2 = /data/media/0). Anywho I updated the OP to reflect these changes. Personally I always put the installer in /data/media/0 and my rootfs.lzma files on either the dock sd or microsd....
[Asus Transformer TF700] JoinTheRealms:
Hmm all my lzma files are on /data/media (android *home* folder is /data/media/0 for me also.)

Btw ive been using your latest lubuntu rootfs with gnome 2 and its fantastic, much better than re-updating ubuntu everytime i ruin a rootfs:)

Also ive been trying to get another touch driver working (the one we use currently is kinda a hack) the tf101 uses evdev driver which gives native two finger scrolling with the touchscreen. For us there was an issue with the way the evdev driver reports to the kernel (basically our device sends a type B report, where as most devices uses type A as i understand it.), But i think this has since been fixed. we currently use the mtev driver.

The other benefit of this is with screen orientation, if you try change the screen orientation the touch points are reversed and off from were you touch. I guess the evdev driver is smarter than that. Id like to attempt to write a daemon that changes screen orientation based on gyro events. For a more android like experience. Atm screen orientation changing works fine manually other than the touchscreen.

If anyone has any success changing the touch driver let me know!
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Your right. That was why I always put the installer in the sdcard root (now /data/media/0) and the .lmza files on the sd

Touchscreen drivers I can start playing with... The meego driver is out of date and has been removed from their site.

Hello again,

So I ran into a little problem while using Ubuntu. I decided to update it 13.04 through the update-manager. It all downloaded and installed like 2-3hours later but when it finished and had to do a restart to finish it off, I ran into some problems.

At the Dual boot screen I chose 2 for Linux then pressed the power down button like normal to get into it and then it says,

-System Started- (something similar to that) then

mountall - error.

It then got through to the next screen which says (something similar, sorry I don't have to screen up to remember exactly what it says)

Ubuntu 12.10 0.8.0

tf700t

Then asked me to login in..

tf700 login =

Password =

I first tried rebooted back in Android and through Terminal Emulator, I entered the command that was posted in the OP but it didn't do anything.

When I restarted It came back to the same screen again so I entered login details

Then it showed some more lines then the only way to get back into Ubuntu was to type in

#sudo lightdm /rc.local

After entering that I got back into the Ubuntu Desktop. All seemed well to start but then I couldn't connect to any WIFI devices.

I kept saying (32) Insufficient Privileges.

I googled that error for a while and tried a few thing but nothing seemed to do the job, so I made another User Account which worked fine.

I then done another restart just to make sure everything was working properly again.

I then got stuck on this screen again.

Ubuntu 12.10 0.8.0

tf700t

Then asked me to login in..

tf700 login =

Password =

I entered my login details and enter the "#sudo lightdm /rc.local" it then shows another error which I cant remember exactly what it says but it does say to add the --test -(something) flag.I then done then it just shows a black screen and that it is all, nothing else happens at all.

So long story short, I do I uninstall Ubuntu and start it fresh and then how do I do the update so it doesn't fail on me again.

As stated earlier in previous posts, I am still new when it comes to Linux but everything little thing helps me learn more.

And by putting up this post, it might help someone else out along the way.

and why after entering

su

e2fsck /data/media/linux/rootfs.img

into android terminal do nothing happen at all ?

Thank You

and sorry for my noobish ways and sorry for the bad explanation of the whole issue.

Sorry i forgot theres a permissions issue with 13.04, i think your user needs to be added to that network group but not sure (workdowg fixed it in lubuntu;)).

Anyway how i fixed it is gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

and add "greeter-show-manual-login=true" to the end of it.

to fix lightdm not starting automatically: sudo gedit /etc/rc.local and add "sudo lightdm" before exit0 (i dont think sudo is necessary but why not:))

run "sudo passwd root" and make up a password for the root account, reboot, at the login screen login as "root" with the password you made. Then modify networks as nessacary, logout and all should work.... the easier/ better alternative is to use workdowgs awsome 13.04 Lubuntu rootfs;)

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

@workdowg there does seem to be an issue with gcc with the lubuntu rootfs, i cant get any thing to build, i think this is a mismatched gcc version. Ill let you know what i find.

EDIT: Simply run sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-armhf-armel-cross to get gcc working :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] tnjfitzy:
Thanks for the reply..

What else can I try to get back into Ubuntu Desktop??

And if there is no way of getting back into it, Is there anything special I have to do to remove it or just delete the Linux folder from /data/media/Linux and install lubuntu ???

Thank You
[Asus Transformer TF700] JoinTheRealms:
Sorry you would have to give me exact error that sudo lightdm produced, e2fck will in run if errors on the filesystem are detected. But its possible that you had an issue with a read only filesystem, linux does this if it detects errors on the filesystem. But if so e2fsck would run and fix those issues so im not sure.

Theres no need to remove the previous rootfs before you install a new one, infact it can have up to 9 separate rootfs files. If you want it gone just remove image file and the ubuntu folder from /data
[Asus Transformer TF700] tnjfitzy:
I got it all fixed.

First I got into root by doing

"sudo passwd root"

I created the password and then I entered the the cmd posted below while being logged in as root..

echo 'greeter-show-manual-login=true' >> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

I then done the

sudo lightdm /rc.local

To get back into ubuntu desktop.

One I got there u logged in as Root then in terminal I put in

"sudo gedit /etc/rc.local " and I added "sudo lightdm" saved it.

I then went to user accounts and changed the stock Ubuntu User account from admin to standard. Then changed it back to admin..

I then done a reboot and all is working well..

It went straight through to the desktop so u just logged in as the Ubuntu User and I can now connect to WiFi networks and change what I need to change.

Thanks heaps for all the help.

Hopefully this helps someone if they have a similar problem.

[MENTION=3971563]workdowg[/MENTION] i also was having issues adding PPA's and synaptic issues. I dont know why exactly but modifying /etc/lsb-release distribution id from Lubuntu to Ubuntu fixed it..

Oh and if you make a new rootfs, you should add brightness-indercator with it: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/brightness-control-ubuntu

Mainly since it works perfectly with our device out of the box, which is a nice change :) even the shortcut keys work which is weird

I'm having a strange issue with the touchscreen. In Ubuntu, all touches are recognized twice. Once when I touch and again about a second later. Any suggestions?

Additionally I'm unsure how to uninstall, which I will likely do if I cannot fix this issue. All help is appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] JoinTheRealms:
Ive encountered this with ubuntu only during the login screen while using onboard keyboard. Im not sure what causes this but the lubuntu rootfs doesn't have this issue.

To remove, just delete the .img file from /data/media/linux and the /data/ubuntu file.

Hey if anyone wants to test this https://www.dropbox.com/s/qs7iqyvoxfygef6/cpuquiet.sh

its a script for managing the cpuquiet governor, by default userspace is used, unless modified this keeps all cores online, all the time. If you select balanced, it manages the amount of cores that are online depending on the amount of cpu load. This should save a lot of power while at idle or doing less cpu intense tasks.

Ill add to it as i understand cpuquiet more :)

I've got a PA ROM installed, and after I run the installer, Linux boots up fine but I get troubles when I try to boot Android, where there's endless error messages about com.android.phone closing. I tried it both with the most current CleanROM settings and the CM settings, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if it's just not compatible with PA ROMs.

Sorry guys im not sure, just to be clear. Me or workdowg are not the developers of this multiboot, the original developer is rabits and his thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014759. Because of this im not sure how the installer actually works, i just know what its accomplishing. He didnt have time to continue work on it, but if your fine using 4.1 android use the installer from his thread and one of workdowgs rootfs images all the options in the installer should work fine. (just remeber in rabits installer 4.2+ wont work.)

It might just be a case of replacing the cm10.1 ramdisk with a cm10.2 ramdisk. And for the data2sd i have no idea how that works sorry.

But i am planning/ researching a different method of mutibooting that should fix all the issues on the android side of things, but i dont know how far away that will be to being ready.

Dual Boot working

Ok I have installed Ubuntu and it is working fine but I am unable to boot back into android. Is there something special that I have to do to get this to work? When I try and just hangs.

Also I am completely unable to get lubuntu to work. It installs (really fast) but it completes and I don't r3ecieve any error messages on reboot but when I select Linux it ask for the kernel then it tries to look for the rootfs file which is never found. I have placed it on the internal portion of the device and I have placed it on the sdcard just in case it tries there. I will continue to read through the threads but any help would be appreciated.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Alexander_rekaX:
So... I've tried to apply data2sd manually by rewriting fstab.cardhu and init.cardhu.rc in zip for few days. In InstallerV6 it works... Kinda,,, It doesn't mount /sdcard from microSD and /datai from internal memory, but it does moun /data to microSD and i was able to access my storage only from /data/media. I really don't know why it doesn't do all mounts to the end... But in InstallerV6.7 Android even fails to boot. I think it could be because of some files on my microSD (Dalvik-Cache for example, which I couldn't delete on Android or TWRP), in future I want to clear it in Linux and try again. But in V6 it boot with all of those files.

But I wish you luck in working on dualboot alternative technology, and sorry for my bad English :p

Sorry. I was at work. I run the same. I just flashed the 6.7 installer without a rootfs. No problem getting to Android(I'm writting from there :) ). You should try the same.

As far as the lubuntu install, check the md5 of it on tablet. It sounds like it is corrupt. Again I hate to say I didn't have a problem with it. And like I've said before, I have best luck installing the rootfs when it is on the microsd or dock sd....

ok thanks for the response. Quick question. is the file extension on the lubuntu rootfs .tar? That's what it is downloading as. Just wanted to make sure for the suggestion that the file maybe corrupt.

---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

I am now not seeing an image to select when I get the "Please select Image to Boot"receiving ". It then goes to "target file system doesn't have required /sbin/init or /init" when it is trying to mount. I then receive Boot kernel selection 1 or 2 but then it reboots. The android os is working now. This is happening after I have selected without a rootfs. I apologize for the neebie questions. I assume that there is a place I am suppose to place the images but I thought you were suppose to place them on the sdcard.
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
The extension is tar.lzma . It looks like that is your problem. You can change that in ES File manager.

The installer looks in several different places, I've just had my best luck having the rootfs.tar.lzma on the microsd for installing.

Nice. Also not sure if it's related, but logging into Ubuntu doesn't work for me as well. Throws me back to the login screen every time, but I didn't set up a new rootfs with the installer, so that could be the issue (I'm using a rootfs that ist about 4 months old)
[Asus Transformer TF700] JoinTheRealms:
Hmm most likely you've misplaced the user "ubuntu"'s home folder(if you wipe /data while flashing a rom, this will happen(androids /data is mounted as linux's /home) next time just move the /data/ubuntu folder to /data/media/ubuntu before wiping /data). I cant remeber the command to re-create a users home folder, but you could make a new user. From the login screen press ctrl + alt + brightness up and login to tty2 run "sudo adduser *username*" then "sudo adduser *username* sudo"(to add it to the sudo group)

Hey there JoinTheRealms, just installed Linux yesterday and so far, I'm happy with LXDE, though the brightness manager is missing out of the box.

Anyway, my problem is, I did not manage to install brightness-control. I added the ppa, did an update, but when I try to install, I get the "no such package" error. I'm guessing this is because the binaries for our ARM CPUs are missing on the PPA..? So any workaround about this particular matter?
