hey i was wondering if someone would help me install ubuntu on my win7 hp laptop now i tried this erlier via the usb method but i almost killed my computer my computer restarted and i got a black screen of death and i went into recovery and it hung on automatic system repair for about 40min and i was about 2min away from doing a full wipe on my computer and starting over luckily it finished and my computer restarted and all is good now. so now im ready for round 2 however i would really like some outside help before i try and tackle this again blindly lol.
so would someone please pm me and ill send u my gtalk info.
thx in advance.
I would imagine ubuntu hasn't changed all that much since I last tried the distro. Plus editing partitions is almost universally the same so I'll help you one of these nights (Mon- Wed) if you don't get help from someone else before hand.
Edit: actually I'm back in my town again, so tonight could possibly work out as well depending on when you're free. (I'm free between ~7-10pm CST then I have some things to take care of)

but to answer your question u can just DL the .iso and mount it and the auto play will let you install it on top of windows

Walk away man... you almost bricked your hero and with the help of xda members you got it back up. Be grateful. This is the general section. Plus its linux. Which is what you have in your hand. In turn which is a hero... which has....linux.... so yes it has to do with the hero....
Enough sarcasm?
®patience is a virtue©
Good to hear that you got it installed.
JFYI - Ubuntu has an option where it can be installed as a directory within Windows. I have not used that option, but it did come up when I installed it, last time.
yea ubuntu is pretty sweet kind of buggy though im glad i only did a 20gig partition lol
try running arch linux no bugs here

Edit: Which version did you install on your computer? x64 or i386 (32bit)
i installed ubuntu 11.0.4 64 bit the main bugs are wirless tether not working and after looking around in the ubuntu forums its something to do with the wireless drivers on ubuntu

hey there everyone , thanks for reading my thread
i recently stoped using windows and started using linux and i was wondering , is there a way to use the internet sharing of my kaiser with linux, any help?
thanks in advance
Have you set up Synce/Opensync to have the computer talk to the kaiser? I'm pretty sure you have to do that before it'll properly recognize the phone as a modem...I haven't tested it yet though, I only got Opensync up and running last night.
I found this a few weeks ago while trying to setup my ubuntu load. It's a piece of cake to get the tilt running as a modem in ubuntu/debian.
http://myhowtosandprojects.blogspot.com/2008/11/htc-diamond-as-rndis-modem.html
Mine works right out of the box with usb connection ICS in Kubuntu 8.04. I just installed it today and was stoked to find this out needless to say.

Same here.
The ICS that comes with our phones should work.
i have a Nokia 710 (linux) and tether to kaiser all the time. no set up required.
So I'm guessing there is a lot of Linux guys here and I have just bought a new HDD for installing Linux. So what do you guys recommend for a total newbie (with only Linux that is) like me?
Anything else than Ubuntu
Thanks
I reckon Ubuntu is your best bet Pretty n00b friendly
Edit: lol Just noticed the big writing saying not ubuntu my bad
Try looking here http://www.linux.org/dist/
Set language to english and intel compatible and it will show all the Linux Distributions Maybe just see wht you like the look off

Yep you would either need another harddrive or to partition your harddrive or to run in a VM
i was just gonna make another partition, and if i do, and it installs, will it automatically ask me which to boot from when i power it on?

Oh okay. If you try something "exotic" let us know your feedback!! I am going to do a reinstall on my computer soon and was thinking of switching away from Ubuntu just for the sake of trying something new so I'd like to hear some objective reviews.
Have you thought about "rolling your own"?

Sorry I meant you can make your own. There's a site dedicated to it but you might not want to do that just yet. Have you looked at OpenSuse? Haven't used it in a while but it was good. I tried the KDE version of Federa a month or two ago. A bit buggy! Mint Linux has had some good reviews anyway just my input!

Personally it's only the GUI I want to have some variety in so I'm trying out "Xubuntu" which I think is Ubuntu with XDE desktop-thing-which-I-don't-remember-what's-called-thing xD I did read about openSUSE but it was too much like Ubuntu I think
For a complete noob, Ubuntu is the way to go. It'll get you started pretty quick and the interface is just a matter of choice. If you want something that's uberHaxX0rZ, try installing a tiling Window Manager such as awesome instead of Gnome (which is default in Ubuntu).
I myself use Arch Linux with gnome-panel and Compiz as a standalone Window Manager and I'm loving it!
I myself am an Ubuntu man. I'm currently digging the Ubuntu 10.10 beta. 2 weeks until the final release!
I myself is trying to use the default window manager in Kubuntu but I can't get it working It's driving me crazy :/ It just says that non of the effects could be enabled...

This usually happens because the drivers for your graphics card aren't installed properly (or the card is ancient).
This is exactly one of the things why I personally dislike Ubuntu. If you're lucky, it'll work like a charm, but if you're not, you're gonna spend hours and hours trying to get it to work.
Either way, you can probably fix it by downloading and installing proprietary drivers for your card, since the open source ones probably don't work with your card. Though on the other hand, maybe you need to use opensource ones because the proprietary ones that installed automatically don't work? Who knows?
Arch Linux ARM for TouchPad ALPHA 2
Run pacman -Syu and reboot for a MUCH better, perfect touchscreen!
Now with Gnome 3!
The purpose of this build is to be lightweight and to bring together the community to package up a distribution for the TouchPad and share our findings with good documentation and easy code, and to demonstrate what is working and what is not.
The following is the official Arch Linux ARM forum thread: http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1948
All the documentation will be in text files and in the README here: https://github.com/crimsonredmk/ArchLinuxARM-TouchPad
Download
Read the README here: https://github.com/crimsonredmk/ArchLinuxARM-TouchPad and make sure you understand what works and what does not.
Download here (only when not following Installation.md)
Issues
No webcam. No sound. No Bluetooth.
Changelog
Dec. 22 - Gnome 3 is out with the 2nd alpha build. Touch support is a little bit better and xinput_calibrator is included in the menus. Gnome Shell is not working yet, but if you've been avoiding Gnome 3 on a desktop because it's too tablet-centric...well...no more excuses. If you've installed alpha 1, you can either reformat with mkfs.ext3 /dev/store/arch-root and follow the rest of the guide, using this new alpha build instead. Also, the boot logo has been confirmed working.
Dec. 18 - Huge new release for developers and people who like being frustrated. I forgot to install fonts, so pacman -Ss ttf for a list. Also, you need to tell wicd to use "eth0" as the wireless interface in the preferences. Also of importance - we've renamed the LVM partition to be arch-root. The new kernel must be installed to use this new root. If you want to see our logo, don't set verbose on and download the .tga file from our Github and stick it in /boot.
Nov. 28 - Moboot 0.3.5 is out! This means the public can install and use Arch Linux ARM on the TouchPad, natively. Read the README!
Finally
cant wait for a fully functional native Archlinux port (mostly, i want a touchscreen keyboard while waiting for the one i ordered to come)
finally DD
seems like we can now only see more and more great things to happen
would be impressed so see some progress on dynamic binary transmission or what it's called too..
did u use lvm or what jcsullins was talking about?
Would this be a triple boot? anyway when I have Ubuntu chrooted in cm7 a2 and a3, it always fails apt-get and apt-get update, so no GUI for me :/ any help?

im pretty sure its via lvm since he credits jcsullin's lvm method for it
Wow, this is great! I'll try it out on my Touchpad when I get home since its just sitting in a room doing nothing... haha
If I can turn it into an Arch PC using this, it would be great! Thanks for your hard work!
I didn't notice that Googling moboot 0.3.4v would bring up a total of 2 results. You guys should really wait for 0.3.5 to come out. Don't bother anyone to hurry up with it.
moboot 0.3.5 reaaaaally needs to drop cuz I need my Ubuntu! great job devs!

OK. Done.
Note that this release only adds the "verbose boot" option (see README
for details). It does NOT add the boot from lvm or general config support.

Hell thats awesome.. Please someone make a video of arch running on the TouchPad.. I don't have a touchpad to test it on right now and I am dying hard to see how it runs..
Big ups for the devs..
So does that mean no native Linux? Or just not yet? Sorry abt the noob question btw

You could install the archlinux chroot in webos to see how it feels in our Touchpads until the native version is ready
Are ETA's acceptable from these devs? If so one would be appreciated
Hell, I want it yesterday, but by the same token, this gives me more time to bank a bigger donation when it does drop.
Btw, devs, make sure there is a donate button available.

There is a big donate button in the homepage of ArchlinuxARM, im pretty sure thats were you should send your money.
Well since moboot 0.3.5 is out, what are you guys waiting for? Read the README but use the new moboot. Get on Amazon and buy the cables first, then with any extra money, well, the donation link is right!
Edit: We don't need to recompile anything so you can do this right now.

Thanks again crimsonredmk for the hints about Moboot's verbose mode, helped getting Funtoo up-and-running as well .
I didn't hear about this USB keyboard trick before your post, I just ordered some cables, it will help as well...
I hope I'll have some time soon to get the X video driver and touchscreen working!
Not sure of the relevance at this point but if you do have a powered USB hub, You can skip the power Y cable thingy (cant remember name). You still need the host adapter as it has the pins set for sending power to the usb on the touchpad. If nothing else, it will save you a few bucks. Im cheap so its what Ive been using during all testing and running of the chroot and general usage. Hopefully bluetooth isnt too far away as I have a few small BT keyboards now they work really well for a general usage KB that is as portable as the touchpad.
Sorry is this isn't mobile related but usually I just stay old school and throw xp pro and find drivers on a pc but this is a laptop that I just fixed and need the info still on the hard drive. It's about three years old no restore disk at all, no internet except my phone, no disc burn capabilities, and tried to override through safe boot to no avail. Googled the crap outta this, any help would be outstanding, thanx lol, kinda mobile related:-o

How about using a Linux USB Live system?
Won't I have to reformat the hard drive? Still need the info on it... I'm an old-school tech, so I'm not sure... plus I'd have to boot from phone, s3, no dab or any type of drivers... Hey thanx though, any info helps

No - install a Linux Live image onto a spare USB stick and just boot the laptop off that. It will give you full access to the hard-drive and you can get any data you need off it.
Take Ownership
the live cd doesn't touch your hard drive as far as formatting goes.
Another option that is something extremely helpful all the time anyway is the take ownership registry hack. I've provided the link below. all you have to do is extract, open the 'Add Take Ownership Option.reg' file and boom its in. then you right click on the folder you need access to and click 'Take Ownership'. Depending on how many files are in the folder and the processor it could take awhile. Basically it is doing the same thing you would do from the command line to take ownership but without all the fuss of having to manually do it for every single file. Hope this helps.

Try to get access to a computer and get oph crack. Three are also other various password reset tools.
So I can write whatever I want here?
OK, I understand that there is many "Hackintosh" video guides out there to be found...
Would it be worth my time to create a step by step guide?
Or would I be wasting my time considering XDA Computing Fourm is not what the majority come here for?
Cheers ;0
When I look for a guide/walk-though, my Google/DuckDuck search starts with xda (then normally github) before a general search.
I do not think it would be a waist of time to write up a step by step guide.
It looks like there is some interest already.
macOS on my Lenovo G400 xdaThread - Link
This is a new part of xda and the more involvement the bigger it will grow.
The little bit I have read about Hackintosh, there always seems to be issues making everything work.
A good guide and general discussion thread would be a big help.
I would not be surprised if more than a few xda members are hackintosh users.
Cheers.

I agree!!.. XDA Computing forums might be small right now but I believe it is going to grow super quick...

There is so many different PC hardware that may or may not be compatible with Hackintosh..
