In the spirit of my fresh Linux install, I thought I could open up a place for discussion of the world's most popular consumer Linux distro. Ask and answer Qs, talk about your build, suggest packages, and discuss development.

What you want to do is split your C: by partitioning half (or more or less) to Windows and the rest to Ubuntu

I suggest you partition during the Ubuntu install to ensure the proper amount of allocation. So just boot up the DVD, say install to C:, and partition like I mentioned above.

Make sure you have the Intel Version/Generic Version of Ubuntu with the Correct Intel/Generic Processor, and use Ubuntu AMD64 for AMD 64-bit Computers to avoid problems.

Hopefully using the bin to return to 7.2.3 helps, quick question though, if when it says formatting memory and it says type unsupported, is that normal.....and also my kindle won't upgrade even if I click on upgrade button, it's faded out

Really excited about cm10.1 on the kfhd but my wife I fear has an understandable deal breaker, she lets the kindle read aloud to her using the tts ability in the kindle app but the play store kindle app does not have this ability...
Has anyone ported the app or does anyone know a work around other than stripping drm and using a second app?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
You can pull the .apk from the Kindle and install it on CM10.1, try to see if that will work. If you've got Hashcode's TWRP installed, make a backup of the ROM you're on, then use a file manager with root access to go into the /system folder, copy the .apk and move the copy to /sdcard, then transfer it to your computer. After you load CM10.1, move the .apk to the tablet again and install it. If it works, you're good to go. If it doesn't, and you're not happy, boot into recovery and restore the backup, and you'll be back to where you were before CM10.1.

Just a stock recover to get you to point A again? You can use Kindle Fire FirstAide for one. Used it so many times. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 You can also use the KFHD Restore Tool for KFHD 7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
The tutorials are pretty self explanitory but if you get hung up, just ask. You will also need a factory fastboot cable to use these backups.

Hashcode started one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168221 for the 8.9" but it seems to have stalled. Given the fact he has so many irons in the fire it has not gone past the alpha phase.
