What works:
- Tegra drivers
- Hotkeys - Use shift+ Hotkey
- Media hotkeys work for VLC use ALT + Hotkey
- Vol keys (rockers) on the side
- OSK on boot for login - You need to press the button next to shutdown to get it to come up.. click twice.
- Sound - but cuts out on some mp3s and will not come back until the tab is fully powered down and back up (not just restart)
- Touchegg
- Bluetooth
- Firefox Youtube (HTML5), VLC video play back (as seen in the youtube in post two) -- This may not work.. BUT!!!!!!!! copy the youtube link to VLC and play it..... It works much better!

- HDMI
- Web / Video camera via USB Logitech C110
--------MODULES addins for kernel .10.12 only
- USB DVD PlayBack works with VLC
- USB DVD rw
- USB Audio / Sound
- USB Network adaptors - dm9601


Fixes from other builds:
- Screen will go to black to save power.

THIS NEEDS TO BE UPDATED... OLD
How to change things in this build Post #157



Problems: (in order of what makes me angry)
- Icon theme RED Icon network manager-- Fix here (sorry)

- SD card will not auto mount, delete key will not work - Fixes here: POST 268

- Sound .. Is buggy and crashes .. May need new driver or patch for alsa.. Needs to be fixed..
- Mic does not pickup audio
- GPS
- Cam (both)
- tilt sensors
- Maybe 3G internet.. I don't have a TF101G to test that it works.
--- I am working on the sound issues with kernel modules..

FIXED Problems in this build:

- Sound headphones does not kill speakers sound (they both play) - see workarounds
- VLC crashes when playing mp3s.. use gnome-mplayer for now
- Keyboard: Bluetooth hotkey.. I have the code but didn't add it to disable bluetooth, auto brightness hotkey
- ZRAM -- see post #166
- adduser /sbin commands don't work.. run this: export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin

If you know of more bugs let me know..



Workarounds:
Firefox can be slow.. Install "no script" plugin.. then its heaps better
Keyboard and mouse can stop if the battery is getting low.. Just redock
- Sound headphones does not stop the speakers playing sound - Use alsamixer on command line and press M on the one you want to mute
- If the sound does not work at all..Run alsamixer and toggle DRC (m button)



What can I do with this that I can't do with Android?
USB printing
Full Desktop and mouse etc..
Crack wifi
Use a second screen.. not as a clone - via HDMI
DVD burning
DVD playback
Lubuntu / ubuntu apps
Get frustrated!

Mini 12.04.4 LTS ::: Ubuntu Core with LXDE armhf
No Frills! .. Nothing really installed at all.. Add what you want Minimal install

-Super small 320mb unpacked - 160mb packed
-Very light on ram (160Used on startup)
-Tegra drivers installed & working
-Wifi works
-HDMI works
-Video playback + Youtube HTML5 works

Not tested / note included: Bluetooth, Hotkeys (scripts are present).. to turn down brightness open new terminal and type brightnessdown


NOTE:
This build maybe very annoying for some people.... It does not include the normal Lubuntu things.. It also does not include Firefox or VLC by default (to save space).. It has just about nothing // People who want a full desktop can wait until I build a full Lubuntu ones with drivers next week sometime
Also usb needs to be manually mounted..
All the above can be installed by using your normally apt-get install firefox vlc ..etc!

Some images:
HDMI with TV

What's new in v1.1 ::: Xubuntu armhf

Newest bleeding edge updates from Ubuntu launchpad + new Firefox + lightdm (ugly yellow slash on start)

Keybinds setup for: WiFi off on, touchpad off on, brightness controls up down, start Firefox, start terminal, screenshot

:::::Hold "shift" and press the key you desire .. Ie touchpad button a long the top. :::::
note this will only work currently in the Xubuntu session (default) will not work in xfce or openbox.

Plus black screen on fix - with hack from post #15
New panel shortcut for XDA Developers tf101 forum.. For easy troubleshooting help
New performance monitor on the right: CPU, memory, disk access
Hidden Bluetooth icon and power while on charge
Fixed / hidden mount errors on / when booting up post #53
Now includes all modules for all versions of rootbind kernels
Some apps package cleanup
Fixed panel dots for spacer
Fixed some autoload apps
Turned off power settings for suspend
Turned off screensaver

What's not working:
Bluetooth
HDMI
Camera
GPS
Extra USB adaptors ie: USB Ethernet
Volume for system and volume rockers
... Sound does work but only in some apps
Graphics drivers opengl - no support yet?
If you know of more bugs let me know.. I will see about what I can do to fix it.. or hack away at it ^_^
----
system will take a while to start
First login -firefox will take a bit to open
You may have two errors about libc.. this is fine, they don't come back second reboot..


Unpacking takes 38mins in Android.. It can cause the screen to go black and not come back when its unpacking.. Just leave it!! If you really want to see what its doing set the timeout to none or undock re dock and press the power button..

Working fine::

Ok here we go:

-please change this for your own piece of mind


HOW TO:
In Android..

Rename your current linuxroot if you have one using mv

Download and unpack into /data/linuxroot

Comannds:


(This will take bloody ages maybe 40mins+ ... Go have a few coffees) - its faster if your going from micro SD


Reboot and you should be away

If you have any issues just delete /data/linuxroot and mv your old one back

The first time it maybe a bit slow to get going... Just wait... You maybe need to start without dock attached
-second boot should be better..

Problems:
Mine always loads with root file system needs to be checked.. Can get past it by pressing i ... I tried scanning it with the tools in this thread.. But no love for me.. I tired also formatting /data still coming up

As this is a 14.04 build it can't include the nvidia drivers.. So that's not so fun... I am planning to build a 12.04.4 one soon ... Maybe someone has a solution ? Last time I tried to get it working I had to reinstall

Also HDMI does not work.. I am guessing because the nvidia drivers are not installed..

Brightness buttons.. See post 41 - for a hack

Its in the Australia time zone use this to fix for you:
sudo dpkg --configure tzdata

Maybe Audio maybe not work in some apps... I tired to fix up pulseaudio .. By removing it... Anyway audio is working for me with mplayer -ao alsa something.wav
your may need to run alsamixer and enable speaker (3rd tab along) press M to enable it

Performance notice while using firefox chrome etc.. Using ABP helps speed uploading time for pages and helps using pages... Otherwise your loading flashy, gifs other useless things that slow down your TAB

Workaround for the below:
Screen saver turns screen off - This is very annoying -- You can turn off the screen saver or wait for me to fix it
If it goes black and you can turn it back on do this: Pressing power button first (screen will go a little bright).... Then ctrl + alt (search) then f1 (the second key along the top) .. Then alt+ Ctrl and f7 -- And then screen will be back........
see page 2 post 1 for fix for this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50399357&postcount=1




I have some code I am working on to get the power bind to do what we just did - will have a fix that can be easily applied
If anyone wants to have a look:
https://github.com/djdill/TF101/tree/hotkeys
... Yes I know I am not using git right


Super thanks to:
@jrohwer - for making / hacking together this kernel.. That makes this all possible
@Sni - kernel patches

Nice I think you can rename your thread to be more general and add more img ? What do you think ?
( I mean like a img repository for rootbind kernel )
I'll try to do a img with different DE and things.
Thanks for your work anyway, really appreciated !

BTW, x3maniac, if you read this, glad to see you again around here

For our discussion about 13.10 and 12.04, I think I'll make a 13.10 then, like this we got plenty of choice Nvidia driver are supported until 13.10, and not supported anymore since 14.04

Click to collapse

@Kingzak34 Good idea! .. OK so I have renamed it now.. let me know what you think.. If you can thank of a better name.. Just paste it and I will change it

OK didn't know about the support up until 13.10.. I was never able to get it to work past 12.10.. Maybe I am doing something wrong.. I was looking and your thread about installing the drivers.. Or is it better just to do it via the software centre?

Somehow I magically fixed the libgl.... Its even fixed in the tar.gz that I uploaded .... Don't know how I did that.. But now I can run Midori (browser).. Faster then FF on the tablets and lighter

I am going to be building more from Monday.. I want to get more fixed with this image (I think it can start quicker and fix some of the errors in syslog)

And I want to fully remove pulseaudio and get ALSA working by default .. Currently in the img.. Audioapps are trying to load to pulseaudio... Even when its full removed.... NFI why that is happening.. anyway more fun time fixing
Oh and the screen fixes for idle .. never turn the screen off correctly


re x3maniac he PMed me a few times today! He working on a another kernel ... But he does not have much free time so its likely going to be a long process .. Anyway this kernal appears to be working fine for me..

For whatever reason I could not get the 12.04 core to upgrade to 12.04.4 .. My next plan to to use the pre installed desktop image and roll the 12.04.4 over the top and see how much it breaks .... Then it will be current LTS with support for a little while longer.... If they fixed (didn't drop nivida support) in 14.04 it would be perfect

really 14.04 seems great right now, the only thing I have seen is that when the display shuts off (not really of just goes black) I cant wake it back up but what ever I will figure it out

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Yeah I was looking at a fix for that last night... Anyway you can get around it by pressing power button first.... Then alt + Ctrl f1 (the second key along the top) .. Then alt+ Ctrl and f7

Black screen hack

...After lots of googling and head banging I managed to get a fix for the black screen... Its a hell of a hack.. But for now I am running with it..

So what is happening when the screen goes black is the keyboard and touchpad stop responding (don't think I can fix that)
So we use the power button soft press to get the screen back, but it still stays black... (little bit of brightness can be seen after pressing) - After that the keyboard and touchpad work.. OK good... so then we use ALT CTRL F1 then back to F7.. yah back to it.. But thats too much pressing in my mind.. So I have got this below commands to so that work..

Some other background to this.. Lubuntu and use another config to bind commands so its a little easier but Xubuntu uses xfce what is harder

SO you don't have to wait for your screensaver you can use this to test:

xset dpms force off


---Steps

sudo apt-get install xbinekeys
xbindkeys --defaults > /home/tf101/.xbindkeysrc
vim /home/tf101/.xbindkeysrc
Add the below to the file just below line 51 or just below this: control + b:2


Then:
sudo vim /usr/bin/turnscreenon

sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/turnscreenon

I also needed to remove all the commands on line 124 in this file and log out and back in
vim .Xmodmap




-----


There must be a better way of doing this.. As this requires your user password ... to run SUDO..
I sure there is a clean way of getting around the blackscreen bug.. But I can't get it fixed with my skill set so this workaround I am sticking with for now...

jrohwer said:

The ability to install nvidia drivers depends on whether nvidia will release the appropriate versions. It depends on the Xorg video abi, which has to match the version that is installed on your system. (Ubuntu 13.10 is abi-14, 14.04 is abi-15). Abi-14 has been released so there is an nvidia-tegra package in Ubuntu 13.10. It remains to be seen whether nvidia will release the abi-15 driver for ventana (tegra2 cpus). Even if Ubuntu does not provide the package you can still download the driver from Nvidia directly and install it yourself.
https://developer.nvidia.com/linux-tegra-rel-16
(Read at the bottom - Additional software).

I would revisit this page once 14.04 has been "officially released" and if nvidia provides the binary driver for abi-15 then that should be no problem.

It appears that ubuntu tired doing this already from what I can see..

reports that the package was removed as of: 2014-02-05.
Deleted on 2014-02-05 by Sebastien Bacher

doesn't work with new xorg abis, requested by mlankhorst


The ABI version for 14.04 is abi15 what means the debs are missing for the install.. I have forced installed packages like this in the past and it fails to start xorg after

This package should work for everything apart from 14.04
@MiniBlu for the info! (he can't post here yet)

I had word that Nvidia will stop dev on anything older then E3 for linux

@Kingzak34 Let me know how you go! .. The blackscreen bug was really eating away at me .. But now I have at least a workaround I am much happier
