The moment this thing is installable on our Tabs mine is getting the treatment.

I'm curious when exactly we're going to get a download option to get this going.

Maybe after MWC which is the 25th of this month... Check out www.ubuntu.com is where I see that.
I would love to see this on our Tab, but considering the low-end requirements...

I don't mean to be a buzzkill, but this will probably never see the light of day on our tabs. We do have a Desktop Ubuntu ARM port, and a fully working Linux kernel for other OSes but even with everything in front of us, I doubt it will happen.
I think the only way we could get it is if someone takes the source code and probably do some crazy mods to it to get it to it to make it work for our tabs.
I am quite the optimist so here's to hoping!

They will publish a porting guide in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting, so there is a lot of hope!

It all looks good and sounds nice, but I don't see it becoming big.
I think Android will evolve together with Chrome OS into a really good OS.
For sure I want to try out ubuntu on my 10.1 tablet, but it will never get a big userbase. (just my oppinion

Looks pretty easy. I will do it today. Finally something interesting besides cm for tablets. Most ROMs are either cm clones or simply not tablet friendly, which is why I haven't worked on much here.

It would be nice to see Ubuntu Touch on our tab. Waiting for a P7500 test buid (low-end version?) if possible.

Not really. If the device supports CM 10.1 (which it does), then it supports Ubuntu. Canonical even posted a full guide. Problem is, who's going to do it?
Edit: Okay, I guess we do have someone to do it. So there's hope
Sorry. I've been trying, but it hasn't been syncing. I'll try on my build server when i get a chance. Hopefully by this weekend, I will have a chance. Not sure why the sources won't download locally but my server should have no issue.

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app2Do you own the 3g tab? If that is the case, then,assuming that ubuntu is based on cm, 3g will be working, isn't that right?
Sent from my amazing 10.1 galaxy tab
I have the WiFi, but 3g won't work since ubuntu does not support 3g data yet.

No, it will not. It will flash just like any other ROM. Right now, it is CM10.1 and ubuntu in a chroot shell. It will erase system. Data, you will have to erase (just like you do on most other ROMs). My PC is back. Thanks for the help. Will work on Ubuntu again today.Say, suppose we have an installable build. Will the flashing erase the whole sdcard, or just the system partitions (/system, /data etc)? I mean we have to bacup docs, movies, music and so on?
