Re: Native Ubuntu Linux on Infinity tf700 v0.8.0
Any risk if I update the apps in Ubuntu Software Center? I remember someone who reported an update that broke is installation. I am just done configuring everyrhing and do not wanna have to do it again.

Alright I got all logged in, and I wanted to install open office. After having done difficulties, I read that I had to remove libreoffice, so I did using synaptic. I try to install open office, then my system ui, all the window bars. Everything disappears. I try a reboot, and now I'm stuck in a screen that says: ubuntu (some version number) tf700 login: I've tried every login and pass I could think of. Any suggestions?
EDIT: ok I figured out the password, but Im still stuck at a black terminal screen. No UI or anything, just says:
Ubuntu@tf700:~$ _
Underscore is flashing
Also with the release of the sdk of the ubuntu for tablet, anything new we can expect?

Libre office
I'm trying to install it again, had to remove only to find out I can't run. The lag spikes are really really tough to get through though
Re: Native Ubuntu Linux on Infinity tf700 v0.8.0
Are you using Unity? Why not using another desktop environment? I use xfce and it runs super smooth and fast (I even use compiz). There are a few lightweight DE out there (lxde, xfce, awesome, kde...)

Here is a video showing a dualboot with Ubuntu and CROMI (sorry for bad quality):

I have never heard of such a tool on linux. There is something to backup files, but programs...
I might be wrong as I don't know everything about linux

Re: Native Ubuntu Linux on Infinity tf700 v0.8.0
In Debian you could get the list of installed packages with dpkg and some option, store that list in a file, and later install the same apps with a single command from the repository. I think the same should still work in Ubuntu. Usually there is no need to backup the programs themselves - although of course you can use tar to backup anything you like.

For some reason i thought Nexus 10 was based on Tegra 3 as well, my fault :silly:
Thanks, I think I'll give it a try tomorrow evening, hope nothing goes wrong.

I would wait until rabits gets a chance to go through it. The installer from Ubuntuwiki does a device check before installing.
Yeah, I'm already dive into it. Ubuntu Touch using android to boot & show its qml view. This is interesting, but really hard to pack in separated rootfs.

- Get need rootfs:
- Ubuntu: rootfs-ubuntu-12.10-0.8.0.tar.lzma (687 Mb), (mirror) MD5: 6dbf50fe8623ceef3e5771e01ba52938

- Wait, wait...
- Done, now you can reboot and see four penguins!
- If you have a problem with installation process - please, save install log and attach it to your help request message with good description.
Uninstall:
Really? I feel so sad
To complete uninstall multiboot & linux you need:
- Reinstall your Android distributive or kernel part of it (this is replaces bootimage with multiboot)
- Remove /data/media/linux directory with linux root file systems
Epilogue:
Currently we have basic linux environment with graphics and internet. For now, Android is more friendly to the user on a Tablet PC, but we can tilt the balance to Ubuntu advantage.
If you have any question about usage - please, post it here.11Sorry, guys, at the moment I do not have much time for supporting. All general ubuntu questions - please search in google (such as mounting sdcard, etc.).
I am currently working on the problems with the complete installation by Aroma, migrate to Ubuntu Raring 13.04, problem of the font size, correcting of keyboard keymap, problem with suspend to RAM, totem HW video decoding...
Next release (0.8.0) will be released in near 2 weeks.8Ubuntu Touch
So, I have some news:
- I will prepare Ubuntu Touch tar-archive for my updated 0.8.1 installer & bootloader at this weekend)) This is really interesting and good experience! Ubuntu based on low-level android binaries - this is a very interesting solution, which is a clear way in the future.
- Also I change my basic Android from CROMI to CM.

I would like to prepare this howto (after stabilization and fixing minor bugs) for general users. But thanx for you response - brainy people do not come here?Really appreciate you effort! Why not post this in the developers forum, where you might get some good inputs from other brainy people like yourself.

That would be great! At the moment I'm trying to run their environment using fastboot and find differences. I already sent message to jaybob413 and we try to combine our resources.
