Hi men.
Let's talk here about running Ubuntu on our blackstones.
Right now we can boot Ubuntu arm on our blackstones, based on the 'omnibuntu' files. it seems to work well but screen calibration is still difficult...
you can find useful links on the last pages of the android thread (i'm on my blackstone right now and it's difficult to copy and paste all the links) but let's leave the android thread for android...
let's see how far we can get from now
FIRST I WANT TO SAY BIG THANKS FOR THOSE WHO HAD MADE GREAT WORK TO BUILD BLACKSTONE LINUX KERNEL!
WITHOUT IT THIS TREE IS NOT TO BE POSSIBLE.
Here is lidle howto because make lidle bit sense to boot ubuntu.
1.First you have to make partitions to your memory card.(WARNING!!!!!! IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING YOU MAY LOSE YOUR DATA)
-start ubuntu live cd 9.04 in your pc wich you find here:http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ (I think that everyone can burn iso image to cd, but if not just ask)
-in your blackstone go Start-Settings-Connections-USB to PC and select Disk Drive (If you want use activesync you have to change it back to ActiveSync)
-connect your blackstone to pc and make partitions with those instructions witch found here:http://linuxomnia.sourceforge.net/Howto.pdf
2.Second you have to put ubuntu files write places.
-download attachs (fatfiles.zip) and extract to first partition
-download omniubuntu-rootfs.tar.gz here:http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxomnia/files/ and extract it and put files to second partition
3.Boot.
-in blackstone filemanager go to storage card and start haret
-select run and ubuntu will boot
-as fast as you can, move the keyboard lidle bit down because until you can`t calibrate the screen
-when it seems to stop buuting is time calibrate screen
-tap first up left to screen and move up the cross and let off, next make same up right, down right, down left and middle of the screen
This is how i get it works(First i only tap the screen.Second tap i let and hold stylus on the sceen and move it up the cross.In the same way i do to top right....ec.)
-one more tap and that is it
AND AS USUALLY ALWAYS IT IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Start debian installer
You can run debian install by downloading one iso from:http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.3/arm/iso-cd/ and extract it to second partition wich is ext2 and put attachs and initrd.gz in first partition wich is fat.Initrrd.gz you will find here:http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/armel/images/daily/versatile/netboot/
Also put vmlinuz in second ext2 partition and after all boot installation with haret.I am not yet finished installation.
You can extract iso file with 7zip.
You have nearly 400 views and only 2 replies. I feel that if you are going to keep this thread alive and vibrant with lots of posts you need to layout exactly what it is you are doing because a large number of people have no idea what this is all about and why they should get involved.
Then give very detailed and straight forward instruction on how to install such software, but make the instruction idiot proof.
Consider a description or screenshots to help people grasp your concept.
Thanks and good luck as whatever it is you are doing sounds interesting.
hi sakkeus.
very interesting, thanks!
a couple of questions:
-which initrd were you using with ubuntu?
-can we use the same ubuntu partitions to run debian?
thanks!
let's keep trying and testing

None initrd to fat partition.All system files are in second ext2 partition except zimage default.txt and haret.
I think that debian installation needs more room in ext2, but otherwise same parts.

thanks, sakkeus, but when I try to launch ubuntu using your default, haret says 'couldnt find initrd'. when I remove the initrd line from the default, ubuntu boots well (excepting the screen calibration) so I think ext2 files are ok.that's why I asked.
if it works it would be interesting to see if anyone can get Maemo to work on the hd it's the same os used on the Nokia N900 and heavily based on Linux
yes, Heefy is right!
everything sounds interesting,but i know just a little about linux.
can u explain us?
thanx

Ubuntu MID
Hi, sakkeus.
What do you thing about trying ubuntu MID edition?
Pics here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile
It is distributed as an image file, but if you know how to install it (and which image would be the best) I can give it a try.

Did you really get fat files from this thread second post because i just chek the default text wich is there and there in no initrd.
I think you should redownload fatfiles from second post.

I found it looking for a good on-screen keyboard, wondering if I should code one... but this looks better
Found something than can be useful.
Once in the ubuntu desktop, if you press 'ctrl+alt+del', go to console mode and type 'exit', you go back to the calibration screen.

I have been tried install ubuntu MID edition, but as like debian it not found install files because there is no internet connection.Needed get internet connection works or some how load install files from storage.
About me:
I have a mytouch3g running cyanogenmod 5.0.7ds
I have a mac, so most (pretty much all) of the boot screen instructions won't work for me.
The questions I have:
How can I change the boot screens on my mt3g
I found a .png that is awesome and I want to make it my first boot screen, how can I differentiate which boot screen I am changing?
Is there a less complex way of changing a boot screen than have been described? like a simple flash from recovery or something?
search button = answers
That doesnt help. i've read all the post about it already and they are all for windows, linux and the g1. none of which I have.
...A little help
If you have the Android SDK installed on your Mac... (which you should already have done) Kick your phone into "Fastboot" (I.E. Power+Back Button) From your Mac... Open up CMD line, and follow the same instructions you found for windows. Its really no different. As, long as you have properly installed the SDK and USB Drivers on your Mac. Hope this helps.
Also...
Read this post for the instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467693
Okay... I've installed Android SDK, I followed the instructions in the Cyanogenmod Wiki, and on the Android SDK website, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to run the SDK. I have Eclipse classic installed, but i'm just utterly confused. Can someone give me a description of how it's supposed to look or what i'm supposed to do or how I can get it up and running. I really need help with this.

Easy fix to all this. Take your desired boot screen and place it on your sd card. DO NANDROID BACKUP. Use Root explorer and copy and paste that bootanimation.zip into system/media folder and then reboot. Thats all there is to it
EDIT: Oh im sorry. Just noticed you want the boot IMAGE not the Boot animation. Sorry
I asked this same question about two days ago but put it in the android themes section. So far every response i have gotten has not worked. I know how to flash the splash screen when i get the correct image file, but my problem has been finding a way to change a .png or.jpg image into a .rgb565 image file. Every topic on xda that tells you how to do this requires a .exe program which me and you both know we can't run on mac without paying 50+ dollars for an extra program. I continue to look but so far the only solution i have come up with is to borrow a friends windows computer to convert my pictures. Unfortunately i just moved to a new city and don't know anyone with a windows computer. best of luck to you.
Yep. I'm on linux. Windows was just too slow. But now I'm trying to start theming again but I just can't figure a way to edit ant .9.png image files. On Windows I would use Xultimates D9PC but i don't believe that option is available on Linux. I would just use the draw9patch compiler provided in my SDK but i get an error stating that the "draw9patch.jar file cannot be found" ....tho I certainly see it is in there. I have of coarse Googled the problem, nut while it does seem to be a common issue, I have yet to read of it being resolved. I figure if anyone knows the answer, its the brilliant folks at XDA, so...LOL .....here I am!

I am not familiar with the D9PC program, but have you tried to run it with WINE?
Ok, Thnx guys! (i love XDA)
Let me respond to u all at once. Ok, so sorry I wasn't as informative as possible.
First, I'm "'cd'-ing" to the draw9patch's dir, but I've also tried just moving the files over to my platform-tools folder.... I still get the same error: "draw9patch.jar cannot be found". Finally, even tho 'cd'ing to 'tools' folder should yeild the same result, I added it (tools) to my path and I still get the error message. Like I said, Google seems to agree that the issue is quite common .....who knows?
As for a virtual box? I've heard of it.... Just not sure Wut it is. Is that like booting an OS ROM 'flash'?
And as for "Wine", I just googled it and I'm thoroughly excited! That sounds perfect! I'd also heard of that but also wasn't sure what it was ...wait, is that a virtual box? O see I need to create a "mock" C drive to install to. Wut version of Wine should I use? On-line, its suggested to use an older version but the advice seems a little dated. I'm running 11.04 "Natty".
Hey Thnx guys! I really appreciate all the help.
Hi All,
I seek your help please, and yes I have searched and read as many, if not all the related posts.... I am fairly Tech savvy (I work in IT) and know my way around Android absolutely fine.... However I cannot for the life of me get Ubuntu to install on the Tablet, and dont know why??
Current setup...
1) HP Touchpad running, WebOS 3.0.5, and Android 4.2.2 (PAC 23:00) and have created a volume for Ubuntu
2) I've managed to install various Loaders, Recoveries, such as SmackMe2, NSBoot, MoBoot, Kexec, CWM.
I downloaded some image file for Ubuntu 12.10 v2, cant remember where or even find the thread again, but it was for HP Touchpad and was around 600Mb's.....
Took me a while to get my head around NSBoot, however I did manage to create a volume (after I released you cant have any spaces in it) and formatted it for Ext3. I then went to install the TAR.GZ file, which appeared to work...
However, when I try to boot it from either NSBoot or Kexec, it doesnt do anything... just looks like its loading, and then reboots the tablet to the NSBoot menu...
Is there something Im doing wrong, or an easy way to get it on... I'm going away on holiday soon, and would be ace to have Ubuntu on here too...
Thanks, Lister
Hi All,
Does anyone have any ideas how to get Ubuntu 12.10 on here?? Because at the moment, i am starting to think it is NOT POSSIBLE!!!
As no one has left any feed back, or clear instructions on how it done. And with a Boot partition of only 31Mb, it is clearly not enough to have all the scripts in there... I removed a few files, and ending up BRICKING my Touchpad. Through a few hacks, and tweaks, managed to get it back online... But now have to start again...
So any clues as to Linux on Touchpad please?
Thanks, Lister
ok what youre going to be doing is installing a chroot linux environment. you dont actually create a separate partition and bootloader for the linux install. you will actually be running it from within webos or from within android. i havent used webos forever so i cant remember how that goes but from within android its entirely too easy to do. you would likely benefit from an app called complete linux installer. it provides a complete walkthrough and links for the .img downloads. you shouldnt be deleting files all willy nilly from important device partitions, everything inside the /boot partition is there for a reason. youre not supposed to delete any of it.
Hi Haxin,
I will certainly look at those methods, as i will like to try it. Ideally I would like to try it outside of WebOS or Android, and have it as a native boot... But current efforts have proved useless so far, even though people say its possible. With little instructions, I have broken my Touchpad twice now, with current one needing a whole re-write of the filesystem to repair it.
I know to delete files in important system partitions is extremely risky/dangerous.... However after asking for various help and getting none, I needed to trial and error and removed files I added myself (or what I thought I had) However as you saw, that didnt really work out too well... lol
I am still looking for an easy way to install it natively prefered, but I will look at the method you mentioned though, just to see how it runs...
Many thanks, Lister
Hi All,
Please can ANYONE just jot down step by step the instructions/route they took to install Linux as part of their dual / triple boot setup please...? I have tried to follow the posts, to no avail. The instructions that come with SmackMe2 or Kexec are brief by means... I've copied them to the \Boot partition, until it says no space... And hence my other posts, related about increasing Boot Partition, and the likes...
I've now ended up with a bricked Touchpad, TWICE!!! Last brick was so bad, had to re-partition it and everything... Meant I couldnt take it away on holiday as I planned.
So please, if you can... can you list the exact way to go about getting Ubuntu Linux 12.04 + Android, as well as WebOS installed please...
And do we really need all of: NSBoot / SmackMe2 / Kexec / MemBoot / others....??
Thanks, Lister

I know your a noob that's cool I was in that boat before. but I usually search before I come to a forum and ask questions because 9 out of 10 times this has been asked before. If you knew Linux can get on the touchpad then there's already posts about it. If you cant find it on the forum its simple as opening up your web browser and googling it.

Hi hovax615,
Thanks for your quick reply / help... I'm a noob when it comes to HP Touchpad Development, and the tweaks/tricks of the Touchpad world.. But not a noob when it comes to Computers / Android... as I work in IT, as a Support Technician for many years...
I've done my fair share of searching the forums, both here, and other boards and info on native Linux seems very thin on the ground. When I ask on here, get very little replies... And the threads that were created by the OP just list the files to download, with very little instruction on how to use them. I've tried to follow them best I can, and so far all what Ive tried do not work!! I've used MoBoot (or whatever its called), Kexec, NSBoot and SmackMe2, all to no avail....
Due to the storage restrictions of Touchpad, I've even swapped files around in the \Boot partition to allow for SmackMe2 to reside in its limited space. I've ran the programmes they suggest installs Linux, and it goes all through the motions, but nothing is visible or boots afterwards. I can multi-boot between WebOS and Android straight forward enough, but nothing seems to work with Linux...
Thanks for your suggestion on CHroot, and someone else suggested that in a previous thread... But from my understanding, isnt that an Emulated environment? It boots/runs from within either WebOS or Android?? From what I've seen on these forums, is that you can get Ubuntu 11 / 12 or even 13 to boot natively from its own partition via MoBoot or Kexec...
I dont like the looks of Ubuntu 13 ported to Touchpad based on its dark theme GUI, hence why I am trying to get Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 working...
So what I'm really after, is instructions to get Linux to install from a fresh WebOS install... Do I use SmackMe2 or NSBoot to install it?? And then do I load it with either MoBoot or Kexec?? I've only ever had it listed in Kexec loader once, and even then it didnt boot...
Any idea's on the above methods welcomed please... I'm trying with Ubuntu 12.10 with this file "TouchPadBuntuRootfs1210v2.tar.gz" which is around 600Mb large... and it installs, but nothing boots afterwards, other than WebOS or Android...
Many thanks, Lister

Hi hovax615,
I think I saw that one a while ago, but have over looked it since... It looks perfect, and seems fairly straight forward to run, and is exactly what I need...
One quick question, when it says root of Media, (media, refering to SD Card mounting). Do I...
\Media\ (place all files here just in the root)
or,
\Media\Internal\ (create a folder called, "Internal" at root level, and place all files within this folder?)
After that, it should be fairly straight forward, hopefully... and looks a lot better than other options, thank you...

Hi hovax615,
Forget the above/below question, I found out that all the files need to just go directly in the root of USB storage, and not require a (internal) folder on MEDIA partition.
Well all has gone reasonably well this time. I now have MoBoot with both WebOS and Ubuntu....
WebOS loads flawlessly... However Ubuntu loads the pre-boot kernel (all the writing.......) and then reboots to MoBoot loader.... I have re-ran the Kernel script, so I dont keep loosing chunks of 4GB storage... but still fails to boot Ubuntu (other than loader). Any idea's...???
Many thanks, Lister

Hi hovax615,
No need now, as I got it to fully install and boot up last night...
I'd just like to say a BIG THANKS to Hovax615, who has helped me to install Ubuntu onto the HP Touchpad... and for not giving up, and offering other way's to install it...
To anyone else wanting to install Ubuntu, and having problems... I suggest not using SmackMe2, Kexec or NSBoot as they do not work!! I'm sure they prolly do, but with no instructions included with those tools, and lack of feedback from anyone... I have given up on them!
The method that Hovax615 mentioned in his (code.google.com/) link works a treat, and is fairly easy to follow... My advice, DO read what it says on screen... The problem i had with the OS not loading was because I didnt read an obscure message that said press "1 or 0".... other than that, smooth as anything...
Only problem I have now, is that the graphic/screen is garbaged... Pretty sure its just drive related, so will wipe this build and install a new build, maybe even 13.04 (just dont like the black theme). And the WiFi commands dont work, only the first line does.... Other than that, very impressed with Ubuntu on Touchpad...
Thanks, Lister
I've never installed Ubuntu myself but I was so glad to help to get you to be able to install Ubuntu. I'm thinking about doing the same today and installing it. Might need a little help also
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Hi hovax615,
Oh right, sure go for it... Its actually really cool once you got it all installed (WebOS, Android and Ubuntu).... And I fully recomend you do it via the original link to you sent me (Code.Google.Com/xxxxxxx) rather than the CHroot method. From my understanding, CHroot is emulated and not native, and not only that, it looks more complicated...
The guide I followed was a breeze, so so simple.... Basically, the only bit that got me confused was the Media / Internal as Ive seen the MASS STORAGE part called Media before. But never seen it called Media / Internal and so thought you had to create a folder at the root of Media, called Internal... But you dont!!! Just dump all the files at the root of that folder... and then copy the commands.
When running the commands, look to see what it says on the screen... I ignored where it said "Press 1 if xyz happened, or Press 0 if xyz didnt happen"... and so pressing [Enter] caused it to fail, as it didnt really install. But if you read it, and press the right key, which I think was 0 followed by 1, then it all installs fine....
I have a problem with the graphics on Ubuntu, which could either be bad install (gonna try a re-install), or try the newer 13.04 (over 12.10 that I currently have).
But sure, if ya get stuck, let me know.... and thanks once again for pointing that link out, and for helping...
Lister
Okay so I got Ubuntu 13.04 e17 working on my touchpad vis the smackme2 method not the method i gave you because i tried and it would execute it properly. I'm not familiar with Linux or Ubuntu. I'm having a hard time trying to connect to the internet

Hi Hovax615,
Yaaay, well done for getting Ubuntu installed... especially via SmackMe2!! Dont know why, but that didnt work at all for me?? Although I use using the older version of Ubuntu, whether that has anything to do with it??
Anyway, I'm not so keen on the new build (13.04) as I think the interface looks ugly on that build, I like the plain Ubuntu look/feel....
Yeah, I too am having problems with the WiFi on my older build too... I've typed in the commands to kick-start it, apparently... But even the commands don't work...
Gonna have another go at it tonight.... LOL

It shouldn't have had an effect using the older ones you just have to download the proper things
uImage.kexec" and the "kexec-<OSNAME>.tar along with moboot and whatever os your going to use on a clean install. Yeah I kind of was having a hard time navigating on 13.04 we'll both figure it out sooner or later about the WiFi situation.
