Database Develop

ubuntu on galaxy tab

Anyone know if theres anyone trying to get ubuntu on the galaxy tab. i saw lilsteve was working on it and the last post i saw was that he had one more bug to iron out and he would relase itvsoon. that was monts ago. i also saw that he had moved to another site but he hasnt posted there in quite a while either.
just really wondering if anyone is working on this to make it a daily driver and if we could expect it to have similar functions to the hd2 with phone and txt messaging.
cheers
steven

I've been following the development for about half a year now. There is no phone-capability yet (need to hot-wire the modem to get that working) which means no 3G.
Sound is only working partially. No idea about bluetooth(don't use it so don't care...). Wifi is working. Unaccelerated 2D is working.
I've successfully installed Ubuntu on my tab, but the x-server keeps rebooting when I touch the screen because I don't have the correct drivers and cb22's(guy who hosted the touchscreen-drivers) is currently down.
lilstevie said that he fixed the kernel so we don't need an external driver, but I can't get it to compile correctly because I have no idea how to extract the correct initramfs...
Hope that clears up somethings for you
If you want to see the x-server crash every time you try to click on the screen I could give you a quick dirty tutorial on how too install it... but if you use your tab on a daily basis, don't...
PS. If anyone got a copy of cb22's touchscreen-files please PM me DS.

Okej. As I said, the xserver is just going to restart everytime you press the screen... aka a booting brick
Warning: THIS IS GOING TO ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR TAB! (Backup instructions: wiki.meego.com/ARM/Hummingbird#Backing_up_the_existing_Android_installation_with_dd )
Note: I have the International GSM model (GT-P1000) so these instructions might not work on your tab!
Note2: I have not made these intructions, just reformating them for better flow
C# == Computer Shell
A# == Android Shell (adb shell)
First build a rootstock:
C# sudo rootstock --fqdn GalaxyTab --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --imagesize 5G --seed netbook-launcher-efl,onboard,ubuntu-netbook-efl-default-settings,openssh-server,xorg,gdm,gnome-terminal,gok,network-manager-gnome,gnome-panel --copy-package-cache
Partition your Tab (Will erase everything!)
A# parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 1
A# parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 2
#A parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 3
A# parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs primary fat32 0.0Gb 10.0Gb
A# parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs primary fat32 10.0Gb 12.0Gb
A# parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs primary ext2 12.0Gb 15.9Gb
A# tune2fs –O dir_index,uninit_bg,has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
A# e2fsck -pf /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ( if this gives an error remove the p in -pf )
A# mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /sdcard
Push and unpack the rootstock you made earlier (
C# adb push ./rootfs.tgz /sdcard/rootfs.tar.gz
A# cd /sdcard
A# gunzip rootfs.tar.gz && tar xvf rootfs.tar
Editing fstab (add root-partition)
C# adb pull /sdcard/etc/fstab ./fstab
C# nano ./fstab
add line: /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 / ext2 defaults 0 0
C# adb push ./fstab /sdcard/etc/fstab
Flashing Kernel (kernel is here: ubuntab.edzilla.info/zImage-iSD )
C# adb reboot download
Wait for Tab to reboot into download-mode
C# heimdall flash --kernel zImage-iSD
Now it should boot into linux and after the normal text-prompt you should be welcomed by gdm login-screen... but as I said from now on your tab will be a booting brick unless you know your way around linux

However if you got a USB-host-cable with a usb-hub, keyboard and mouse you should be able to play around with it
Oooh... and I also forgot about the WiFi-drivers. I havn't fixed auto-connect for wifi and don't have the usb-host-thingy so it escaped my mind
I'm going to fix a USB-host-cable soon thou to see if I can make it auto-login and auto-connect to a bluetooth-keyboard, so I can have my ubuntu-netbook
---------- Post added at 01:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 AM ----------
Just as a side note... All my info is taken from here: wiki.meego.com/ARM/Hummingbird (has an incomplete tutorial but to chaotic for most people) and here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933667

Thanks for the great tutorial!!
Also, lilstevie is no longer working on the native Ubuntu port, since he has moved on to the greener, Honeycomb-laden pastures of the Asus Transformer.
EDIT: Anyone know where I can grab a cheap USB host cable for the Tab?

We should really say Ubuntu-laden pastures as afaiu that's what he's running on it

Nope... He's running Ubuntu on it if I'm not mistaken...
Also... got touchscreen to work today thanks to lardman
Just that I forgot to include the onboard virtual keyboard to my rootstock -.-
Ooh well... new rootstock overnight
Will be back with more info tomorrow

[BOOT] NanoBoot r10 CM10 [UMS][2012-08-17]

After testing CM10 for a while (thx codeworx) I now ported my NanoBoot image to CM10.
Changes compared to original CM10 boot:
"insecure" (means: / and /system mounted read-write (easy 'adb push' into /system ...), ro.secure = 0)
support for /system/etc/init.d/ init scripts
(somewhat) easy UMS access
Changes in r10:
Use 179:24 instead of 179:25 as address for UMS (fixes UMS on Windows)
to enable UMS for external SD with this boot.img it is enough to do:
Code:
setprop sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb
to return to MTP:
Code:
setprop sys.usb.config mtp,adb
TIP:
If you use Linux you may use some function like:
Code:
ums () {
if [[ $1 == "+" ]]; then
adb root
sleep 2
adb -s c1607c00051963f shell 'setprop sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb'
else
adb root
sleep 2
adb -s c1607c00051963f shell 'setprop sys.usb.config mtp,adb'
fi
}
'ums +' will enable UMS, 'ums -' will disable UMS on your tablet (not to mention it needs to be connected (...))
replace '-s c1607c00051963f' with '-s <your adb id>' - you get the id via 'adb devices'.
If you only got one adb-enabled device, you could remove '-s c1607c00051963f' from the commands.
If there's more than one device connected adb needs to know which one should receive the commands.
I did not yet have the time to modify framework-res.apk to add UMS to the list of options...

Here with 3110 it works... if you provide me the original 3113 boot.img, I can re-pack one, that should work.
And it only works with Cyanogen Mod 10. Not on 9 or stock rom.

Just as first post says. This is a modified boot image for cyanogen mod 10 (no other ROM supported!) for galaxy tab 2 7", which makes / and /system read-write, adds support for init-scripts and adds pretty easy way to access UMS (USB Mass Storage) for external SD-Card.
According to your signature you're using an incompatible rom anyway - so don't use this.
@Macadamia Daze: now also tested with a 3100 I got my hands on: WiFi works. Dunno why it doesn't work with 3113 (I got no clue whether 3113 has some special WiFi stuff or whatever). Either way, please tell me, whether the attached one for 3113 (two posts above) works with WiFi.

Silly me; the problem was an incompatible kernel (Johnsel's). I returned to the default CM10 kernel and reflashed this, so now WiFi works. Still, in Windows it doesn't work properly. While it does create a new removable disk in Computer, it gives the "Please insert a disk into drive" error when I try to open it. Haven't tested in Linux yet, but based on my earlier tests with your previous UMS solution, it probably works.

Ooh, I have good news! I used Device Manager to examine the blank drive letter on the computer, and it was recognizing it basically like an SD card reader with no SD card. So, I decided to poke around some of the files referenced in your UMS script from before to check their values. When I tried to open /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun/file, I got an error. Thinking it may not be working properly, I created a file on my computer with the contents "/dev/block/vold/179:24" and ADB pushed it to overwrite the broken file. Instantly, my SD card mounted on the PC. I hope this is useful information for you!

I see... 179:24 is the sdcard itself, 179:25 (what I use) is the first partition on the sdcard... unixoid systems don't care about that, but windows seems too... I'm gonna test with 179:24 on Linux and if it works there (I'd say yes even without testing, I provide an update). Thanks for testing.

r10 is now online - fixes UMS issue on Windows.
I can't get WiFi to work with Johnsel's CM10OC Kernel - so I skiped uploading those image/zip...

You can find me in Freenode #cyanogenmod-dev if you care to sort out what's happening with the wifi on my kernel

It fails to load something and therefore can't be enabled, don't remember exact log-message right now.
I'll contact you, when I'm hacking around the next time.

This is pretty interesting.
Two things
1-Doesn't CM10 already support init.d scripts?
2-Would it be possible to swap the mountpoints for the "internal" sdcard space and the actual microSD card slot? My current method of re-mounting things right after boot is OK but not very elegant.

1 - atleast not via boot.img - that's why I added it.
2 - I have an older tablet I used before (ARNOVA 7C G2) it worked with this one, so it should work with this one, too. But you should never enable UMS while some app is running... On that other tablet I had to use EXT2 or EXT4 on SD-Card else all that permission stuff didn't work (FAT only has very basic permission rules for files). Also I recommend using second partition of SD-Card for /data. (first gets used as external storage and is managed by vold - at least that is what I did on my other tablet).
I attached init.espresso.rc, so that you can play around with the mount points (re-send me the file after you're done and I can provide you a flashable zip).

That's the thing I have been wrestling with lately, what's "the best" way to manage this stuff?
It seems like the main thing that needs to be done for legacy purposes is linking the regular /storage/sdcard0/data directory over to /storage/sdcard1/data/.
One idea I had was to format the "internal" sdcard (/storage/sdcard0) with ext4, which would allow symlinks to exist there, then just remove the data directory and replace it with a symlink that points to /storage/sdcard1/data.
From what I've read, ext4 is supposed to be a better, higher performance solution, so I'm kinda curious to try it out.
It would make UMS pretty worthless to Windows guys like me, but I basically do everything via network anyways (SFTP mostly).
Is it possible to control the file systems used on the internal & external sdcards in the init? I didn't look too deeply at it cuz I don't know how to rebuild a boot.img (at least not yet)

Tested this with the current AOKP JB nightly, and it also breaks WiFi. I'm trying now to keep the rom and restore the CM10 NanoBoot backup. Fingers crossed it will be stable.

TO PERFORM A NEW INSTALL (ONLY), AUTOMATICALLY WITH SMACKME2
SmackMe2 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2132703
Copy the two provided files (uImage.kexec and TouchPadBuntuRootfs1304b2.tar.gz) to the sminstall folder under the root of your /media/internal. If "sminstall" does not exist, first create it.
Follow the instructions on how to install "native Linux' in the SmackMe2 thread.
TO PREPARE FOR MANUAL UPGRADE (NOVATERM)
Install NovaCom and NovaTerm on your "real" computer - please consult one of the many references on how to install it.
Boot the TouchPad into WebOS.
Connect the TouchPad to the PC with a microUSB cable.
Enter USB mode and copy the uImage.kexec and TouchPadBuntuRootfs1304b2.tar.gz files to the root of your TouchPad's internal storage.
PROPERLY "eject" the TP from your PC.
Enter Developer Mode. (In the Just Type box, type "upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart", and select Developer Mode.)
On your PC, open "novaterm".
You are now ready to type in the "Manual Installation" commands.
MANUAL UPGRADE (Commands to type into Novaterm)
This will erase any data and settings stored under Ubuntu. Stuff in the media storage (/media/internal or /mnt/sdcard) will be unaffected.
Code:
mkfs.ext3 /dev/store/ubuntu-root
mkdir /tmp/u
mount /dev/store/ubuntu-root /tmp/u
cd /tmp/u
tar -xzpvf /media/internal/TouchPadBuntuRootfs1304f.tar.gz
umount /tmp/u
cd /media/internal
mount -o remount,rw /boot
cp uImage.kexec /boot
sync
TO BOOT AFTER INSTALLATION
Reboot your TouchPad.
Select "kexec" in the MoBoot menu, and press Center to boot kexec.
Wait for the white screen.
Select "Ubuntu 13.04" in the kexecboot screen, and select (press POWER/SLEEP button on top, not CENTER button).
Wait for Enlightenment to start.
TROUBLESHOOTING / FAQ:
If you don't see Ubuntu in the moboot menu, that is normal - you have to boot Kexec and then boot Ubuntu 13.04 from kexec.
If your TouchPad doesn't have a "kexec" menu option after rebooting, make sure you copied uImage.kexec to the proper location, and retry.
If your kexec uImage doesn't boot or freezes before the white screen, check your free space on the boot partition (/dev/mmcblk0p13). Delete kexec, free up at least 3MB (by deleting extra uImages and/or themes) and recopy it manually.
If you can't select Ubuntu from the kexec menu, make sure you're pressing Power and not Center to select it.
If your kexec freezes instead of booting Ubuntu, make sure you have the latest kexec from this post. The old one doesn't support large initramfs files which are present in 13.04 beta2 (and the final version.)
If you experience problems with Kernel 3.0.8, remember that it is alpha quality!
To reboot your TouchPad if it stops responding, hold down Center and Power until you see "Please release key(s)."

How's battery life with this?

Battery life is something I haven't tested. It's okay, I think, about 3-4 hours. Remember, Ubuntu doesn't sleep on these, never has AFAIK.

i cant format the ubuntu-root to ext4. everytime i run mkfs.ext4 i get this error while mounting:
mount: mounting /dev/store/ubuntu-root /tmp/u failed:Invalid Argument
if i format to ext3 mounting works. Can i use ext3 instead of ext4??

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10, I don't mind to start from scratch.
But..... Would upgrading from 12.10 to this version via novaterm screw anything up?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

That (ext3) should work - I enabled the config option where you can mount ext2/ext3 as ext4 on my kernel. I forgot that webos uses slightly old filesystems
I'll update the instructions.
In the battery life quest, I just noticed that the dnsmasq process often eats up 100% CPU, so I just disabled it. I'll upload a revised image to the same link (love GDrive), but if any of you have already DLed one then I can tell you what to do to fix it:
in Terminal:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
delete or comment out ("#") the line reading "dns=dnsmasq" and save, quit, reboot (or sudo killall dnsmasq)

You need to turn off the whole tablet, yes. I don't think it was ever made to work on ubuntu. It wasn't really a priority when we were missing stuff like headphone audio. I guess I can look into dmesg and try to diagnose.
To right click you need to click on the mouse cursor button on onboard, and then the flipped looking pointer button on the 2nd row down of the button group that appears - after tou do that, the very next click wll be seen as a right click.

I'll take a look once I do the install later today, waiting for my TP to finish charging up. Thanks!

Depends on what you're installing. Remember this is an ARM powered device and not your normal x86/x64 processor you'll find in a normal laptop or desktop.

Ubuntu 13.04 beta 2 [FINAL BETA]

Thanks for this.
When you say final beta I assume you mean final build?
Or do you have plans for something that can be considered past the beta stage of development?

Thanks for this. Things seem to be running alot better than the previous 13.04 build.
A couple things i noticed -
The onscreen keyboard didn't easily come up. I have a bluetooth one so maybe i gave up too soon on trying to get it.
I also have a bluetooth mouse. After a minute or 2 of using it the cursor disappears from the screen. You can tell its still connected because as I move it, various things get hovered on.
Flash player is no longer available for firefox or chromium. I tried linking to the webos flashplayerlib but it still doesn't work. i installed the gnash stuff but that doesn'
t work everywhere.
Thanks again for this though. is working great post from it now.

Isn't there an Open-Source flash player somewhere?

Download link ! Alpha !
http://www.datafilehost.com/d/44a25a60
link is to download phablet
instructions:
reboot to recovery
wipe all partitions
flash phablet in above link
flash trusty-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip [u can find on cdimages.ubuntu.com]
reboot phone to system
--
at this point youll have a black screen and no activity
plug phone into pc
grab this file : (70-jfltexx.rules) http://www.datafilehost.com/d/17d6dd77
now open terminal
$ su
$ adb push 70-jfltexx.rules /usr/lib/lxc-android-config/
$ reboot
phone will look like its doing nothing for a bit, but wait.
now it will boot back up like normal but you will have a ubuntu touch gui
BUGS:
no conectivity
no sound
edge swipe is small but works without case
camera
frame jumps to the right for some apps occasionally (unsure if thats on purpose of buggy... i vote buggy)
app crashing (maybe reason for camera crash?)
doesnt show imei
no sdcard mounted
terminal app doesnt even work so need to use adb to run commands
enjoy lol ... note alpha in title if anyone wants to complain ... also note only you are responsible for what happens to your device.

now have connectivity via reverse tether
adb root
adb shell setprop sys.usb.config rndis,adb
if you get permission error use adb server as root
ubuntu network manager will show that samsung android is connecting.
open network settings edit that connection and change auto DHCP to shared
adb shell
run this command (logged into phone)
dhclient usb0 -v
now on phone open webbrowser and you should be able to connect

just got WIFI !
haha progress
adb shell
insmod /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko firmware_path=/system/etc/wifi/bcmdhd_sta.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt
now wifi will turn on
make it auto load at boot
touch /data/local/userinit.sh

well for one this is for jfltexx, and secondly if the boot loader is locked i doubt that could flash it as u need a new the boot.img.
if you want it on att model you ill prob need to buid depreciated ubuntu touch.
depreciaed UT boots android then ubuntu in a container
this boots ubuntu then andriod in container.

Well see with ATT we can boot custom roms(MDL users) as long as the kernel is already lokidokied, or you can flash the loki zip and it will bypass the ATT check and allow you to boot a custom rom, Now seeing how this is based of CM10.2(thats what the file is saying so i am just taking a guess) if I flashed the Loki zip after flashing the rom would it work? But I am doing a backup as of now and I am going to test and see if it works :3 I will report back lol

Didn't work, Getting status 7 which would mean I would have to edit the update script so it doesn't just look for the inital phone. I will do that now and try again.

To install Windows you will have to reinstall the whole OS since Android must take all the place now.
Use those guides to see the partitions on your tablet, especially the one to resize the partitions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/x98...-2048x1536-t2913035/post63963154#post63963154
Take your time it's EZ all you need is some patience. :angel:
N.B.: Only install Windows 10 32 Bits or you will brick your tablet.

Thanks for your help, I deleted all android partitions and Installed win10 only
But now, I face a new problem. The touchscreen is not working like before I install window 10. The X axis is accurate but Y seems like having problem. There is a distance (may be exactly a half of the length of the screen size, I guess) between my finger and the touch point on the screen (see picture). When my finger is near the edge of the screen, the touch point is down side.
And, strangely, It occurs also in uefi bios menu and os chooser UI
I think It's a calibration problem or driver.. ect because when I touch the screen the point on the screen stay quite still and accurate, not jumping around like a broken digitizer.
I've copied the touchscreen.gt downloaded from this forum to c:/window/inf but it doesn't help
Could you please give me an advice?
Btw, now, I treat this tablet like a netbook. It fits perfectly my old ipad keyboard cover with some mods. Not too bad

uhm..simple question here.
How can i install the drivers of your post?

I do not know How I could change back and could go to selection page of operation system (android or windows)! and Thanks God!
but I really want to reinstall my windows 10, I make a boot usb Fash by Rufus software with GPT partition and FAt32. This flash is showed in "Boot Option Priorities" in setup menu and i choose it for first option (Boot Option #1).
But my problem is after reset mt tablet it does not go to install page! and same as past go to "preparing automatic windows" and then " chose option" page.
I do not know what is my mistake. really sorry because of my Lots of posts. Windows in this tablet is really critical for me.
