Hi!
So, I have a SBKv2 device, and I'm anscious to get a Linux distro in my tablet. But, I'm no expert in linux, so I need that some os the experts do that first...
My question: There is anyone working on that? Any news about when it is going to be ready?
Thanks
you can always choroot ubuntu using either the choroot ubuntu thread in DEV or the UBUNTU installer app in themes/apps. As for native no you cannot as it requires NVFlash which does not work on SBK2. there are pleanty of other threads on this and i am pretty sure all of your questions have been answered here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191141
CHROOT is OK, but what would be nice is NVFLASH and the capability to install ANY alternative OS on SBK2 devices... Is there any progress being made? Or is it a problem that no one's looking at it?
Side note: very nice of asus to unlock the bootloader on the transformer prime, but i notice a lack of ability to do this on the TF-101 (SBK 2+ devices)... I'm not a legal expert, but can we start a class action law suit to force them to do this?

Fedora has released Fedora-17-beta-armhfp-xfce, a system image compatible with Tegra devices. A kernel image is not included. So, my first question is: Are there any kernels being tweaked and developed by xda members that are compatible with the the Fedora release? If not, it appears from the many posts in the forums asking about Linux on arm tablets that there is a void to be filled.
I for one want to be free of big brother "Google" and regain not only full control over my device, but my privacy too. Richard WM Jones describes how he installed Fedora on a Trim Slice with Tegra processors. rwmj.wordpress.com/2012/02/29/trim-slice-pt-3/ Can't this be done with the Xoom using a hacked kernel being tweaked/developed by an xda member? Is a kernel already available with drivers that make the Xoom's hardware fully functional in a Fedora installation?
Can the "U boot" ROM supplied with the Slice be ported to the Xoom? We need help from knowlegeable, experienced developers here at xda to make the possibilities a reality.
Thanks,
Armido
Rooted Xoom M601, Quad Band, wireless+3g, Stock Honeycomb version 3.2 Primary usage: Linux Open source Navigation program OpenCPN - via Galoula's Linux Installer/Debian lxde.
Fedora does not replace android but can be installed.

May 26, 2013: The short answer is apparently no. Not even Ubuntu Touch will replace the android core. However a growing number of linux distributions can be installed using installers like 'Linux Installer' downloadable for free from GooglePlay. This includes Fedora. What is the point of having Ubuntu Touch on tablets if the rich, robust and numerous existing linux programs will not run on Ubuntu Touch?
Just asking

for -official- ubuntu support you should ask to ubuntu support people, not here.
if you just want linux for the tf300t(G) there's a thread in development section from CB22 about archlinux.
doing the same for ubuntu shouldnt be too difficult, its mostly a question of different packaging and dependancies.
Hi
Can someone port Ubuntu Touch for A51x device ?

You can check the Wiki or the main thread, and set you system up for compiling the source. Unfortunately, Not a lot works yet as far as functionality Device wide.
It's a grand time to learn.

Is Ubuntu Touch also for tablets? I read phones and phablets. I tried to port Firefox OS for the HTC HD2, but failed due to lack of knowledge, incomplete guidance and the phone officially being an WM device.
Since the A51x (and A70x) both are Android devices from it's origin, it should be "easier".
From reading the beginning of the guide I can tell you I can't. I really need a more detailed step-to-step guide to work on something.
I hope there are people out there who are able to port it to the A51x and A70x series.
Edit:
Awesome! A700 owners can try the Ubuntu Touch pre-alpha on their tablets
As far as i can see, the porting guide is for Devices supported by Cyanogenmod, since Ubuntu touch is apparantly based on that. I guess there is some way to port it to the A51x Devices anyway, but i think there would be some major (and probably undocumented) work necessary
Hello. I want to ask is it possible to run ubuntu on SGTab2? I mean pure desktop ubuntu, not mobile one, nor as virtual machine. All instructions I found deals with Nexus 7. The best will be installing Ubuntu as dualboot to Android(I'm using NEXT kernel, it supports dualboot). Does anybody know how to install it? Or maybe somebody even tried it?
Thank you for answer

Thankyou, but no, not Ubuntu Touch. I asked about Ubuntu Desktop I heared that Nexus 7 users compiled VCMI(opensource version of heroes 3) right in it and are playing on their devices. I want it too Android port was abandoned more than year ago and no one pick it up...
