It boots already, but waits for somebody with the device to do more
testing
I have that wonderful device and I wish Linux on it. And I'd like to be tester.
I'm system administrator of one of Moscow commercial banks at Russia. And I working with Linux since 1997 (prefferred distributions Slackware/Slamd64).
I have a hw6515 as well and am hereby volunteering my device for Linux testing
I'm an IT consultant in CRM/Enterprise asset management and been using Linux off and on for many years...not really a Linux newbie but need to get my skills refreshed.
hello,
I have a bricked 6515 with the gsm part dead after a failed rom upgrade.
So my 6515 is very open for betatesting...
Do you know where to find tools & files to go to linux ?
What are the limitations at this moment ?
and how to manage the square screen ?
Thanks
Dim
let's start from here
hi there i'm searching to build a group of people to try together to build a linux system for hw6515
i have found a lot of info on how to start.
i will try to install Familiar linux distro and maybe if it work Android!
let me know if you are interested.
for now no beta tester is needed.
i know that it's years after the last post - however - FYI tried the wayback machine to get handhelds.org archive of linux resources for ipaQs - 6515 on the compatibility list, boots linux, but status of gui unknown
AND site reports that familiar does not install on this model.
I'm going to try the kernel and pkgs for the 4700 which is based on the same processor...just for fun.

I have build AOKP ICS for the P4-WiFi and have edited the ram-disk in order to include the core Linux files, and I am currently working on installing Lua, Perl, and Hamachi, and making a CWM flash-able zip.
I will not hold your hand! This is not this hard.
This is not perfect, it may need some tinkering with to make it work!
If this bricks your tablet, I am not responsible, but I will attempt to help you fix it.

Sorry about complicated installation instructions, I am working on simplifying them.
Hi man.
please tell us what is this exactly?is it an Ubuntu OS or sort of?
Question:in the "/downloads/" directory there's a build named "Latest-Build-EXPERIMENTAL.zip ".is it a flashable zip?
The only difference between Ubuntu or any other distribution are the repositories and the name. This was made of Ubuntu Lucid and the zip doesn't work yet.
interesting... keep it up!
Thanks, I want to get Hamachi working but the place they had the working build is gone.
Has anyone gotten it to work yet?
I've a GT-P7500 and will try it...Hate ADSL speed...
I don't n to be needly or pushy or anything, but can the OP, or anyone running the ROM, make a video showing the Native Linux app capability? I know it would have to be compiled for ARM and It's been hard finding ARM apps for Ubuntu, for example, but you can show me something cool then I'll love you all forever.
Does this have any package management included? How is this better than using chroot? In my experience for the things I want to do chroot is not bad other than the fact that I want an external keyboard (to program in emacs), but if this is faster somehow that could be nice. But I'd rather have the package repositories of Ubuntu over speed personally.
Waiting anxiously for a vid or a better explanation of it's use...Keep it man!!!
Perhaps if you compress it I can download...it's sooo big and my internet speed is 0.7mbps
It is better than chroot because it does not require a lot of the core Linux capabilities to run in two instances as in a chroot, so it is approximately twice as fast, and I am working on a package management app, but I cannot just use the Ubuntu repositories because I have to rebuild the applications for the specific hardware, but I am working on a package management app, but I am just learning Java.

I hate to say this, but Ubuntu 13.04 alpha1 has both my ports outclassed at the moment.
That said, my Slackware port is meant for advanced users to hack on, not necessarily as a finished product like my 12.10 is.
You won't find things like setbrightness, battery and tsrotate.
can i install any package such az web server - libreoofice , ... ?

I am browsing through touchpad development forums and trying to decide which ROM to install. It seems some have working camera while others have Bluetooth, does anyone know of a ROM which has both camera and Bluetooth working?

Problem with KitKat
Hello ,
I have not had success with version 3 kernel . After installation the system is in a loop trying to make the Cyanogenmod boot without success. Appears at a time, Moboot screen and then the screen goes black ( dimly lit ) ... Then the system reboots .
I used Tailor to create the partitions :
USB ( media) : 1.953 MiB
User ( ext3 ) : 1.758 MiB
Android (system ) : 600 MiB
Android ( cache ) : 200 MiB
Android (date ) : 23,148 GiB
Unused Space : None
I created a folder with name cminstall with the following files (all downloaded through the appropriate links) :
cm - 11-20140110 - UNOFFICIAL - tenderloin.zip
GAPPS - kk - 20131208.zip
moboot_038 - tenderloin.zip
recovery - clockwork - 6.0.4.6 - tenderloin.zip
I reseted the WebOS Touchpad through and hit the volume button until the USB connection symbol appeared. Finally , as with all Novacom drivers installed on your computer I entered the following command in the Windows command prompt :
novacom.exe boot mem :/ / < ACMInstaller5M
The system installation appears to be correct , but the system is in boot loop .
Any help is welcome .
Grateful.
CM10 has a working camera, not yet in CM11.
it's not easy to bring the camera to live on 3.x kernels mostly because of qualcomm's proprietary camera stuff. I'm working on this for about month and still have no success.
Did you try to contact qualcomm? What, if they provide you with the information you need??? That would be wonderful.....

Forget about getting anything from Qualcomm. Tried once and I was redirected to Code Aurora Forum and then at CAF told me that all they have is pushed to git and there's no chance to get any missing headers from them or any information. So every time I need to figure out everything on my own basing on those pieces posted to CAF.
so is cm9 still the only rom with everything working?

No, the CM10.x and CM11 running 2.6.35 kernel has also a working camera. It's not yet working with 3.4 kernel.
I've created a separate thread for camera driver development for 3.x kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611497

Thank you for the answer. It sounds like you're quite angry about that.
If I was native English speaker and also a coding freak I would make another try at Qualcomm. Perhaps someone who reads this and knows a little about hardware programming can ask again?
My programming skills stopped with Sinclair ZX81 programming (more or less successful). Z80 machine language called. It's a long time ago. Sorry, I'd love to help in any way....

Hi guys,
Today i wanted to share with you some of my work to run linux on the pixel C.
First of all i'm not responsible for anything, so try this but i can't guarantee that it works for you and that you won't break your tablet (even though normally it should work ).
Secondly this thread is for people who know how to use correctly adb, fastboot and linux console, instructions are not very detailed here, so if you're stuck try a bit to search, you will learn a lot !
So first what is LXC ?
LXC (Linux Containers) is an operating-system-level virtualization method for running multiple isolated Linux systems (containers) on a control host using a single Linux kernel. (wikipedia)
We are gonna use this technology to run ubuntu on Pixel C (we will even be able to access to the GPU drivers in the future, i'm currently working on it)
So first, we need a special kernel where cgroups are activated.
Please download and flash my modified stock kernel for nrd90r :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzWwMqZZvtXSZjNzdDB6MVBqd0E/view?usp=sharing
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Try to see if you can run su in the tablet, otherwise you will have to install supersu.
Now, install busybox so that we have some tools to help us a bit : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.busybox&hl=fr
Download now lxc compiled with PIE support for Pixel C and the ubuntu rootfs (here is a 32bit version, 64bit is also working fine on my tablet ) :
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzWwMqZZvtXSTnJBbS1LbGo0MUE
send it to the pixel C :
Code:
adb push lxc.tar.gz /sdcard/
Now extract the archive in /data
Code:
adb shell
su
tar xvzf /sdcard/lxc.tar.gz -C /data/
Now run ubuntu and enjoy ! :highfive:
Code:
# open a terminal as root on the tablet
# execute :
/data/lxc/startSystem
If everything goes well, you will see ubuntu booting

Internet will work out of box if your tablet has a net access, you can install, remove things using apt
What is going on for this project :
I'm currently trying to use the GPU drivers using libhybris so that in the future we can run wayland on pixel C and have a fully working linux environnement ! (KDE, gnome)
see here for KDE, we need to port this : http://blog.bshah.in/2016/05/02/plasma-mobile-new-base-system/
I need help for this (because it's difficult). For this, we will have to patch bionic so that we can use libhybris. All the devs can contribute here )
If you're happy of this work and you want to have more detailed instructions please pay me a beer ! Because developing for Pixel C is time consuming

For people that just want to use lxc alone building there own images, here is a lxc version with PIE support enabled :

works perfekt, thanks
Whenever you get around to posting the 6.X kernel, I'd be happy to help test this on Dirty Unicorns 10.3 stable. I've wanted a non-virtualized Ubuntu install on my Pixel C for a while so I can use it to replace my laptop for research, and an LXC seems like a great way to make that happen.
Thanks for taking the time to work on this!
Great work, thank you! It works as described on preview 4. It would be awesome to see a full Linux desktop on the Pixel C. I'd be glad to test - if there's a way back
after flash boot.img the tablet is not boot. i am use last update .
I'm looking forward to using this on my Pixel C once there is a graphical environment.
While you are working on the GPU, is it possible to install XServer/Gnome/etc along with a VNC server and connect to it via a VNC client on Android? If so, could you quickly explain how to do it with this?
Yo OP, wouldn't it be better to use Arch Linux for this project? You know, considering the better documentation for Arch, and bigger cooperation of the community?
Great attempt though, if I get a Pixel C as planned I would like to test this!

@Samt434 forgot to quote you lol.
Hi guys, sorry for the late answer. I will update everything so that LXC can run on the lastest android version soon !
There is a great anoucement coming Stay tuned !

Yeah, can't wait.
How does this compare to Linux Deploy? I've got Ubuntu running with Linux Deploy using the android XSDL X server for display and it runs pretty well.
Is google now giving us similar tools?
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/containers/vm-image/
I don't know a damn thing about programming but if this if someone figures a way for me put Chrome OS on my Pixel C I'll pick it up.
as a massive linux fan & a Pixel C owner, i'm watching this project closely. Love to hear what's coming in a look ahead. Personally, my preference would be to be able to install a linux OS natively as a sole OS (any live ARM version) but anything that can be done to un-androidify the Pixel C would be awesome.
@DollarUsername : lxc permits for exemple to run systemd correctly, so your distribution is fully running with this solution
New update, new kernel based on stocked for NRD90R (note that this kernel doesn't include dm verity)
And i have a surprise : https://youtu.be/4B8unHrbZK4
Weston and XWayland are now running well on Pixel C ! (using the DRM framebuffer)
I can't say when i will publish it, it still need some more time (there are still some stability issues...), and i have a lot of other things ongoing.
But i will publish it soon
Thanks a lot for your support !

Is it possible to start Linux from the terminal after the initial setup with adb?
Is there a tutorial to setup Wayland or is it ready to go. I would love to use my Pixel C for Java development with eclipse. Would this be possible or would it be a pain in the a**?

"Is there a tutorial to setup Wayland or is it ready to go. I would love to use my Pixel C for Java development with eclipse. Would this be possible or would it be a pain in the a**? "
Yes it would be possible and would even run well !
About Wayland and weston, there is no tutorial and it's not ready to go currently (the demo is not currently based on LXC). The demo is from my lastest developpments, it requires still some dev before being published. But i hope to publish it soon :highfive:
First off, just wanted to say you are a god, keep up the good work. I've wanted linux on my pixel c since I bought it. I was going to install it via the instructions in your first post but I'm a little confused as to whether it has GUI or not? I understand it's Ubuntu Xenial but some of your notes make it seem like it doesn't have a GUI yet? Is this the case?
