How Can I dualboot lollipop and ubuntu on the shield tablet?
If I use the img linked here what is the command that I must use to flash on tablet? I need only that file or I need something else?
I saw that the image kernel file is updated frequently to implement new feature, how can I upgrade to a new version?
Thanks a lot and be patient with me

At the moment, I honestly can't recommend trying this if you have no Linux experience, it's still WIP (for example, the touchscreen and Bluetooth won't work without additional configuration), and this is still ARM so most closed-source software (such as most games) still won't work (at least not at acceptable performance levels). But, if you still want to try, you need to follow the instructions from the post that contains the boot.img downloads (mainly the rootfs part). At the moment there's no real solution for dual-booting, but it's possible to flash the boot.img to the recovery partition (after which, booting the recovery will go to Linux instead). Good luck!

so i followed the instructions to the letter, or at least i think so.
1. downloaded the latest boot image. new_boot(94)
2. downloaded , unpacked and repacked the files from nvidia as explained
3. transferred repacked bz2 file to device, unpacked in /data/linux/
4. booted using fastboot command with command extra command line arguement.
given that i add the extra command line argument, then ubuntu seems to boot fine, but it stops after a while with the last report being :
"enable autosuspend for nvidia bruce"
nothing seems to be happening after that...
i have tried the two previous boot images also, but the same thing happens... any ideas?
Can you please post a picture of the screen when it gets stuck? (the bruce message usually appears after the rootfs is mounted, so since it doesn't continue, that probably failed). apply-binaries.sh should work fine, if it didn't run I think it would still boot, but there will be no GPU acceleration for sure (and maybe no X11 at all).

I also followed the directions and have the root file system moved across into /data. When I use fastboot to load the image, I get a kernel panic. Things are scrolling pretty quickly but it looks like the busybox operations that are trying to mount certain areas keep failing saying no such file or directory. It almost seems like from the bootloader, it can't see /data, however I am able to mount it via cwm and see the files are there via adb. One of the error messages I got on the boot was that "mount /dev/mmcblk0p24 on /data failed invalid argument". Would you have any idea what I might be missing here. One thing I did notice while following the directions was that sudo ./apply_binaries.sh did not seem to do anything, it just displays the usage info like it was expecting different arguments.
Any suggestions you have for me would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
It's possible that your internal memory isn't recognized by the kernel. I'll send you a PM later today with a custom kernel so that we can start debugging this, I've had this issue before but I'm pretty sure I fixed it early on.
