No Doctor Required.

Same here.

Quick clarification, no need to run webos doctor? would rather keep my android/webos/twrp installs (though im sure this has been asked a million times, a simple yes or no should suffice).

Nope, unless you manage to bork things totally and have to go back to square one.

Ubuntu 12.10 single archive, don't need to cat part 1 and part 2 its already together.

And for eclipse their may not be compiled for armhf.

But I'm running 12.10 on my HPTP so I'll give it a shot.

On Ubuntu 12.10 I opened the terminal and typed "sudo apt-get install eclipse" without quotes and it asked me to download eclipse and all the drivers so it works.

After install I started the app via terminal, takes about 1-2 minutes to get passed the splash screen.

I didn't mess around with it but it should work. All the libs required installed.

Also the file is about 304mb in space.

On 13.04 it's an option provided by the program "touchegg". You should be able to install touchegg on 12.10 as well, with:

sudo apt-get install touchegg

If that doesn't work you'll have to build it from source. There's a program called Touchegg-gce which is a GUI for configuring touchegg with all the gestures you want to be able to use. I've just compiled it for 13.04 and it works wonderfully, being able to click/drag/rightclick/scroll with simple gestures.

Not sure why that is, might be something to do with 12.10? I compiled Touchegg-gce just fine on 13.04 and it works perfectly with the touchegg installation that came pre-installed. Might be missing a library that it depends on as well, though if you got it from apt-get it should've resolved dependencies.

I couldn't get touch egg to work on 12.10, but you can right click using on board with the mouse facing the right, or if you can highlight the option use menu.

Weird. You can mount Ubuntu's FS in WebOS:

mkdir /tmp/linux
mount /dev/store/ubuntu-root /tmp/linux
cd /tmp/linux

Then you're in your Ubuntu FS and you can backup your home directory or try to fix the boot. If you messed with /etc/fstab that might have done it (crashed mine on 13.04 by doing that) otherwise I don't know, it doesn't look like it has mounted the filesystem otherwise the font changes.

I found out that touchegg caused the troubble. I reinstalled Ubuntu and every time i start touchegg it runs about 10 touch events and the Crashs everything. I had to hold down Power and menu to hard-restart. So i trink touchegg wont realy work with arm-Ubuntu 12.10. Is there an alternative?

    Special thanks go to:

    • crimsonredmk - showed me the Arch Linux documentation for the TP, and wrote the original instructions for getting Arch Linux on the TP, which I have taken and adapted.
    • The CyanogenMod Team - For creating CM7, and getting it working on the TouchPad.
    • perpe - made a working rootfs to get it booting while I was busy :)

    12.10 version 2 [NOW MORE USER-FRIENDLY!]

    New version of Ubuntu 12.10
    Hello everyone. It's been a while since I released 12.10 (beta 1 at the time) for TP. It was quite large and somewhat buggy, with a few regressions from
    12.04.

    I am proud to present you with a completely reworked, fully up-to-date new version of Ubuntu 12.10.

    What works:
    - USB OTG
    - Touchscreen + Service (ts_srv_0, ts_srv_90)
    - GNOME 3 - fallback only
    - Sound (only through the speaker for now)
    - Wi-Fi (NetworkManager)
    - Bluetooth (tested, HID k/b visible from gnome3)

    Useful features (now mostly in the right places):
    - Multi-Threaded Memory Compression (zram) and Swap (already present on all TouchPads)
    - Proper fstab mounts: sdcard, read-only boot and read-only webOS root
    - udev kernel patch, fixes the "failed to recieve ctrl connection: Function not implemented" error.
    - Many more kernel modules, examples: CIFS/SMB, NFS v3/v4, LED triggers, and more.
    - Tiny kernel and initramfs, both compresssed with LZMA instead of gzip (3.3MB down from 5.4MB)
    - Zenity powered GUI enabled brightness changer (Applications->System Tools->Set Brightness)
    - Zenity powered GUI enabled screen rotator (Applications->System Tools->Touchscreen Rotation)
    - PulseAudio bypassed and replaced with ALSA dmix/dsnoop for gstreamer (fixes crashing Rhythmbox/Totem)
    - Spiffy console font, t.fnt.gz (set at boot)
    - All legacy init scripts that are Touchpad related have been ported to Upstart.
    - No sudo password prompt. This is needed for the zenity scripts to function properly!
    - Command line battery information script: /usr/bin/battery
    - Brightness changer (setbrightness) will still work from cmdline, just use the brightness # as an argument
    - Freedreno (still no ExA)
    - Symbolic links from user directory to SDcard save wasted space for music, pictures, downloads and videos/movies
    - Far smaller than before (516 MB down from 836MB)

    Kernel [3.3 MiB]: http://www.mediafire.com/?4y2adpjdvrhl2lh

    install instructions
    (You'll need at least MoBoot to be installed already.)
    1. If you don't already have Ubuntu on your TP, run the "4GBPartition.sh" but not the other scripts. Either way, BACK UP.
    2. Install my new, modified kernel in /boot. (The modules and Freedreno driver are already included in the tgz.)
    3. Download the TouchPadBuntuRootfs1210v2.tar.gz.1, 2 and 3 files from MediaFire to the root of the SD card/internal storage of the TP.
    4. Run the following commands in novaterm:

    Code:
    mount -o remount,rw /boot
    cd /media/internal
    cp uImage.Ubuntu /boot
    cat TouchPadBuntuRootfs1210v2.tar.gz.* > TouchPadBuntuRootfs1210v2.tar.gz
    mkdir -p ubuntu-root
    mkfs.ext3 /dev/store/ubuntu-root
    mount /dev/store/ubuntu-root ubuntu-root
    cd ubuntu-root
    tar -xvpzf ../TouchPadBuntuRootfs1210v2.tar.gz
    cd ..
    umount /dev/store/ubuntu-root
    sync
    mount -o remount,ro /boot
    reboot
    5. Select Ubuntu in the moboot menu to boot Ubuntu 12.10 final!!

    After a 3/4-month hiatus (who's counting anyway?), I have returned to XDA :D
    I'm reading through to thread ATM to get up to speed on the excellent work Calc has been doing on the project (thanks for picking up the slack when I disappeared :cool:), but after my exams are finished and the term is over (2-3 wks), I'll be hopping back into development.
