All those 404 make me think that cogano is right, your version of Ubuntu seems outdated. You can try the mirrorselect utility to switch to another set of mirrors... it might fix it. I'm not a Ubuntu expert more on gentoo and red hat derivatives so the name of the mirrorselect might be not correct... check it!

Check this link for select a new mirror

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

One more thing, I would suggest you NOT to try to upgrade to 12.10 unless you make a copy of the rootfs image first! Unless cogano has tried I would be wary that it can break your tf700t ubuntu installation.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cogano:
Quick search revealed this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/483906/will-eol-releases-no-longer-be-archived

Quantal is there now, too. You would have to craft the apt sources manually (Google it) to use this old release server instead of standard mirrors.

BTW, use 12.04, which gets longer support. However, the trouble comes, when you want to use newer versions of apps - there are not many PPAs with backports for arm architecture. Recompiling may get you into dependency hell :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] darkreaper476:
I'll try and add new mirrors. This was the only rootfs that was available for download all other mirrors were broken. I would prefer workdogs old Arch rootfs. Lol

edit: I tried the "precise" mirrors with no luck. same 404s..

care to share mirrors or which rootfs you are all using?

thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] cogano:
Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list. The std syntax looks like:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal main restricted

The second field refers to a mirror: "https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu". You may try to replace that (for all lines in sources.list) so that the line looks like:

deb [B]http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/B] quantal main restricted

and do "sudo apt-get update" before trying "sudo apt-get install ...". Better not to use "sudo apt-get upgrade".

NB: Replacing "quantal" for "precise" would possibly break your installation (the apps from "precise" dependend on other libraries than those from "quantal" and you would probably get yourself into unresolvable dependencies and possibly binary incompability).

The only sad thing about this advice is that I cannot test it since I do not use any Ubuntu release, which is now moved to "old-releases". Good luck though!
[Asus Transformer TF700] darkreaper476:
That did it Thanks!!! I'm an arch guy.. ubuntu always gave me a head ache. lol If I was sstill able to get into android I woud give the old arch rootfs a go again.. Oh well. I'll try and make this work for a while. lol I read somewhere that we can resize the image file for something bigger than 3GBs. does anyone have some direction on how?

Thanks again!

Keyboard layout issue with ctrl-alt-x

There is one small issue: even if one has set a certain keyboard layout in xorg.conf, pressing ctrl-alt-x sets keyboard layout to US.

Workaround: add the following line to /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart

...
@setxkbmap it

(replace "it" with your keyboard layout)

I don't know if it can be fixed without needing this workaround

Glad to see this going strong I just got my TF700t working again. Going to wipe it clean start a new. Going to love to test this latest install script.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jcfunk:
[MENTION=3971563]workdowg[/MENTION]

Been testing installer script, and was wondering if it to hard to have it make a sparse file img, uses less actual disk space, until you fill it.

dd if=/dev/zero of=file.img bs=1 count=0 seek="size of file, ie 4g"

I seen the script, looks like alot of math. This might be easier to get the size you want.

Edit:

Of coarse as I sit here bored, I just can't leave it alone. Here is the edit to make a sparse file.

busybox dd if=/dev/zero of="$kit"/"$rootfs_name" bs=1 seek="$rootfs_size"G count=0 || echo "File created anyway"
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Did you try it? I worked a long time from that simple format to what I have now. Something about android shell (busybox also) just didn't let it work. It worked perfect on my linux box under bash, then I spent forever trying to figure out why it wouldn't under android. Linux Deploy uses a ported version of dd and mk2fs that work but I couldn't get it work with my script... I guess that is my short answer.. :silly:
[Asus Transformer TF700] jcfunk:
Lol, maybe I'm a little to custom. I use my own ports of busybox and bash.

Update:

Get it to make the img, but make_ext4fs wont format without size. Need to figure it out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jcfunk:
Here's a thread with guide busybox build in chroot. Everything I compile is on an arm device. I don't cross compile. I'm having issues compiling with selinux support.

Hi all! Is that possible to add custom variable to cmdline from boot.cfg? Or is there a chance that it will be implemented? I'd like to load kernel from system partition and rootfs from f2fs formated data partition. To do so I need to send to guest kernel something like "ROOT=/dev/mmcblk0p8:/media/linux" to be able parse it and boot from there.

Just to let you guys know... I sold my TF700T. I can still help with dev stuff but I'll be dependent on others for testing. It was a fun 2 years, thanks to all.

[Asus Transformer TF700] gardiol:
A few updates... i am still working on Gentoo and i have actually go to a very good point.... i am working on a Howto on the Gentoo Wiki, but it's still very alpha at the moment.

My two biggest issues at the moment are:

- get a decent browser work well. Dillo is fast but no javascript. Firefox works but it's a dog (really). Chromium still trying to compile since something is missing in the kernel for it to properly work

- upgrade the kernel to 3.10 (sources from L4T) as i am really unable to even compile the nvidia provided sources... i guess they dropper support for Tegra3/carhu devices? I will try to post on their forums.

I managed to lock the screen and get the best possible performances with the "that" kernel but i would like to try the OpenTegra video driver, which requires kernel 3.10, so at the moment this is stuck.

I have no intention to sell my tf700t, it's way too cool to show off, besides being able to install a linux an almost any newer tablet (ncluding intel based ones) at the moment is an utter failure so it seems the tf700t is still the way to go...
[Asus Transformer TF700] gardiol:
I have got the WiKi to a good point, if you can, head to on the Gentoo Wiki and check it out!

please tell me if i made some obvious errors.

More details on how to get a better experience out of the tablet will follow.
[Asus Transformer TF700] steffenbakke:
Just curious would it be possible to built a working Chromium OS running with the kexec boot?
[Asus Transformer TF700] gardiol:
I don't see why not! As far as it boot a Linux kernel it should work....
[Asus Transformer TF700] hanswurschtus:
hi, is there a chance of getting a working Kexecboot for zombi-pop rom??

thx - hans
[Asus Transformer TF700] gardiol:
I am not the maintainer but i can tell you this, if you can get the kernel image and the initramfs for your Android then you can setup the kexecboot method... you need to copy in the boot folder of you android partition the kernel and the ramdisk, then the multiboot will boot that image.

Check the scripts, they are plain bash scripts, should not be too hard to understand where you need to copy the files...
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
i'll try to pull the zImage and package it up. I noticed all dev is stopped on all other TF700t roms so I should be able to keep up with this for you guys. Remember I no longer have a TF700t so you guys are my guinea pigs... :cyclops:

Hi,

I'd like to know if anybody got KDE running. I added old-archives and kubuntu repositories, then i did a apt-get remove *alot (since in my first attempt failed, because of zero space left), and apt-get kdm (which caused the installation of a lot of packages). But it resulted in a black screen and i do not know how to switch to console and read log files.

I really want to try this out but I have f2fs on internal... I'm assuming that there's still no f2fs support? Thanks for updating this to support lollipop!
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Maybe [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4582979]JoinTheRealms[/MENTION] could let me know what I would need to do to support it. I don't have the device anymore but can still write scripts [emoji12]

From my VS985 - Jasmine 5.0.4
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
For f2fs support you need to have it in the kernel and in the fstab. Not sure how this is related to kexecboot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Thanks... I'm out of thanks for today...
[Asus Transformer TF700] jcfunk:
True. Only real issue is adding f2fs support to kexecboot, source code doesn't have it. For me, to advance to add, I failed.

I haven't worked this for awhile, not to sure, system partiton doesn't really need f2fs because it's usually ro. And since, if I remember, zImage and initrd.img are on the system partition. If only data was f2fs, this should work.

In short, the file system where kexecboot gets the kernel from must be one of: btrfs, cramfs, ext2, ext3, gfs2, iso9660, luks, lvm2, minix, nilfs, ocfs2, romfs, squashfs, xfs. These are supposed by kexecboot but may not be supported by host kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cullenmq1:
So should I try if I only have f2fs on data? I probably can't do it today/tomorrow (finals) but I should have time on Wednesday to mess around :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jcfunk:
as I don't know- I believe where ever the zImage and initrd.img loaded from not being f2fs then it should work. But if you using rootfs.img on data partition, default locaton, then you will have an issue.

My ranting was mostly think android should be able to load from kexecboot with no issues, with just data as f2fs.
[Asus Transformer TF700] D3vildog:
Greetings,

lurker here, i feel obliged to say that i've been using this for a couple of years, works pretty well, I only use the Lubuntu portion, I deleted android.

Anyone ever find the cause of the image becoming corrupt? I found that using 'shutdown -h now' works.

Anyway, I came here to check it out again, I'll grab your source code too, I already had rabits but was missing this. Thanks for keeping the Project somewhat alive, I still use it.

Hello im using minimal lubuntu and its great for me. I want to work with my arduino on it. But minimal ubuntu (from this thread) based on _that 10 kernel. But FTDI serial port support added just from version 11. Can someone rebuild the image with the _that 11 kernel. I really want to work with my arduino on it.

Uninstalling

Hi!

Can someone maybe link me to a post describing how to uninstall this Multiboot? (Or tell me if it's as simple as wiping and reflashing a rom :3)

I might have missed it somewhere, but it would be nice to know how to undo this.

Knowing how to delete Android after installing might also be nice to know, since I'm going to use this as a small laptop.

[Asus Transformer TF700] elpax:
So there i compiled rootfs with _that11 kernel (with FTDI support for Arduino).

If someone needed it :

Ananasnonym's Lubuntu 12.04 LTS v1.3 (with that11 Linux kernel by Conago added)

mega.co.nz

Special thanks to Conago for compiling the kernel.

Im not tested it (coz im really want to sleep) so if someone can test it it would be nice. Kernel and modules im already tested its 100% working.

UPDATE : I have tested the img and ALL IS WORKING. So u can install it.

Installing new rom, that flashes kernel blob will over write multiboot blob
[Asus Transformer TF700] elpax:
I have tested ur kernel and my tablet gone crazy ( really :) it vibrates and flashes the camera like crazy :) ) Maybe I am doing something wrong.

I have installed lubuntu minimal from first post, booted, and then replaced /boot/zimage with ur zimage. After I am deleted that11_ from /lib/modules, and then have paste the files from ur /modules to /lib/modules.

What Im doing wrong ?

And 1 more question :

U have added the misc_binfmt, that allows to running of x86 binaries. But what u mean ? As I know we cant install something like Wine on "tf700t linux" (arm). So what is that ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jcfunk:
Maybe I'm dyslexic, misc_binfmt = binfmt_misc

binfmt_misc is a capability of the Linux kernel which allows arbitrary executable file formats to be recognized and passed to certain user space applications, such as emulators and virtual machines.

Kernel is untested, may have to be recompile.

I'm not sure where the modules go in linux, I think they need to be in

/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/

You may have to make this directory.

Sigh....

I've blown up my Zombi-Pop internal Android install -- or at least have frozen myself out of it -- by a badly botched install of Kexecboot today. My current situation is that Kexecboot is preempting me getting back into TWRP (that is, Recovery) to reinstall zombi-pop again. I can of course use the ol' ADB / PC method and try to fix things that way... but will it work, or is there another way to disable Kexecboot from its own "shell" command line?

Any help appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elpax:
I have last the same problem. But recovery runs without problems. My situation was that :

I deleted the /media/linux . At the start kexec showed me 4 step menu. On of is the terminal I have write "turnoff" and after restart I have enter into recovery in stand art way (power + volume down). I don't know why u can't enter to recovery. Maybe u have broke or twrp.

Enabling FTDI on Lubuntu minimal

Thanks a lot [MENTION=4343012]elpax[/MENTION].

Your posts lead me to the right direction to enable FTDI on Lubuntu minimal.

What I did was:

Situation: I've already installed Android CROMBI-KK and Lubuntu Minimal 12.04.

On my desktop, I downloaded (sorry, I'm not allowed to put links yet):

Kernel from url: github.com/that1/android_kernel_asus_tf700t/releases/tag/release-that10

Config and tweaks from Cogano: kexec-linux-that10-cogano6 url: ge.tt/4FiL1Vh1/v/9 (taken from url xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52983223&postcount=928)

Unpack on any new folder, 1st the Kernel and then the Tweaks, overwriting files.

Rename "config" to ".config"

Run on the new folder (I'm using Arch Linux with "arm-none-eabi-gcc47-linaro" from AUR installed):

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-none-eabi- menuconfig

Go to Device Drivers > USB Support > USB Serial Converter Support > Mark with "*" (built-in) option "USB FTDI Single Port Serial Driver"

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-none-eabi-

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-none-eabi- modules (not sure if it is needed)

Finally, on the running TF700-Lubuntu, copy DesktopPC:newfolder/boot/zImage to tf700:/boot/zImage (I did this on the TF700 running inside Lubuntu, so as [MENTION=4343012]elpax[/MENTION] said, it can be copied on-the-fly)

Reboot

It's working ok by now. No issues yet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elpax:
Its really great that u compiled the kernel by yourself :good: But i have posted the img of lubuntu minimal with already installed that11 kernel few posts earlier, if u needed ofcourse.
