I've just installed Ubuntu on my tf101. I complied and installed touchegg for multitouch, but it wouldn't auto start on boot. Where should I put touchegg command to make it auto start? I've tried ~/.xinitrc and ~/.xsession, but both didn't work.

If on Lxde, /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart, on lubuntu /etc/xdg/lxsession/lubuntu/autostart and in gnome there should be an app for that.

Does the touchegg give multitouch?
Why do you not use touchegg from a ubuntu repository?

Touchegg is a project on sourceforge.net. I don't think it's had updates since 2011. When I use raring Ubuntu the touchegg didn't work well.

I've installed touchegg for The Raring Ringtail from ppa, but it seems the prog doesn't give any effect for multitouch on tf101. But on my Tubuntu the touchpad doesn't support drag without left key

You have to execute it.
It doesnt affect the touchpad, but the screen, your problem is normal on 2.6.

Hi Guys,
i finally manage to get Ubuntu working on my transformer. WiFi (no gui) and Touchpad working. Ubuntu 11.04.
Now i have the following problem:
Ubuntu Software Center doesnt indicate loads of nescessary plugins and software such as Adobe Flash player.
Tried to install it manually with:
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer (tried adobe-flashplugin and flashplugin-nonfree aswell)
but it looks like it can't find the package through my repositories.
When i run apt-get update, which i do every time before installing something, i see allot of 404 errors when the rep is trying to fetch:
http://../binary-armel/ packages.
My question:
anybody got flash and divx running will on their Ubuntu @ the Transformer? Maybe im overlooking something. Or maybe the repositories doesnt support Armel (ARM Cortex) 9 yet.
my Ubuntu repositories
So if u succeded installing flash, im glad to hear how u did it.
Just to make clear, it's my first day running Ubuntu...but im a fast learner
Ty in advance guys!
Anybody? I got the feeling Flash just doesnt support for ARM built Ubuntus. I tried most repositories...
Some how some softwares gave indication that i dont have internet connection, while i do have connection through wpa_supplicant.
Edit:
update, Gnash and lightspark or libflashplayer.so plugin doesnt work aswell. Anybody got ideas?
bump
Also tried dropping libflashplayer.so in plugins, but firefox says out of date and will not play videos without upgrading flash player.
Did you try Running
sudo apt-get update
To update your repository? It always failed for me until I did that.

Yes. I'm running 12.04 with 2.6 kernel. when i do sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin, it says not available but referred to by another package. If anyone has a manual file that i can drop into the plugins folder, that would work too.

I'm using this tutorial but do I need to copy the ubuntu folder to my microSD , because I don't have one and wanna know if i can do it without the sd card
Don't use that it is old

Both do not require a microSD

Thanks, but Frank didn't work for me - I'm sbk2 - and I don't have linux, so Idk about the onelife thing, but is there anyway at the moment to get ubuntu on an sbk2 device?

You cannot get Native Linux on SBK2... It relies on NVFlash and full APX mode you can only run in in vnc alongside andorid

If you can revert back the changes with ubuntu commands as normal then the only thing is to wipe reinstall...
You can't access terminal at all

So there is no way to boot into command line ? Too bad..
Is there a way to only fresh install Ubuntu and not android?

Yes with the tubuntu app use the update rootfs option, it allows you to update android or ubuntu separately

The rootfs option doesn't work..x3maniac is aware. In the meantime use this on the assumption the partition layouts are all the same. You do need the tubuntu app to get wheelie and nvflash commands.

Only if you are running gingerbread. I wrote some scripts to hack a full Ubuntu webtop. Motorola however removed the Ubuntu portions from ICS on, and the removed all of the low level drivers and file system info needed to even try a new hack.
Instead moto gave us landscape mode of android on the dock/webtop.
I and others have tried to bring it back without success.

You can always run a x86 emulator and install it try using bochs....

I am not sure that will work quite the way he intends to run it.
The real issue is the drivers for the lapdock/HD dock and using ubuntu with it.... that is why the old version that motorola gave with gingerbread was so nice, is because they had all of it running from the phones underlying android kernel with the drivers for both docks built in. This will be "emulating" a PC, and will have a self contained kernel and drivers that running in an x86 emulated env.
Yes it will technically run Ubuntu, but if you read the OPs request a little deeper (and post number 3), he mentioned the lapdock, so that will be the real issue. and the lapdock apks now only use the landscape mode, and even the old ones can't be redone with out the old kernel structure and underlying root filesystem that was a part of / (which even with root is still not writeable on this phone without an unlocked kernel). That was actually my first hack on this phone, was to open up the full ubuntu, so that it was not locked down, and you run any linux app that was compiled for the ARM kernel all from synaptic.

True but as you said they removed the ubuntu scripts after the 2.3.6 roms so integration into ics cant be done unless we actually sit and write the code for it or say port it from the earlier versions emulators work pretty fine but i was thinking why not make a standalone version which can be run on bmm as another rom that would make it better in the performance perspective as the base android rom would not be using the cpu resources.... give a thought on that concept or even porting ubuntu touch to atrix 2 would be gr8 but the locked bootloader could be a issue

With a dock or lapdock, no.
You can run Ubuntu on android and vnc into it, or run it in a chrooted env. If you do this it will not work like webtop did with the docks. It kind of is like running it in a virtual machine, sort of. If used in the vnc way, you could use a vnc app to get it to display on the lapdock/HD dock, but again it runs much like a VM an performance is similar to something like this. There are a number of how to's, if you Google "android Ubuntu vnc".

Jim is there anyone trying to port the Ubuntu touch to the Atix 2
why not try to bring this new thing over .........
Because you need an unlocked bootloader. Ubuntu touch uses its own bootloader, just like the full Ubuntu desktop uses lilo. Besides it is still really alpha. Things still do not fully work. Music and video playback is still broken.
If you must give it a try you MUST have a phone with a fully unlocked bootloader. Any nexus phone or the sgs3/4 or one of the note phones, etc.
I wish we could port it, but without the bootloader it is impossible at this point. Kexec will not boot the kernel, yet.. I say yet, because I am sure we can crack that eventually.

i recently downloaded the ubuntu dekstop 14.0.4 LTS (32 bit) and everything was going well .......i burnt the iso file into a cd n even the ubuntu was working fine through the cd but after i installed it ....it said installation completed and the system need to restart and after pressing restart button ..it tells me to remove the cd and hit enter and i did it but after restart it says >>> " busy box v1.21.1 (ubuntu 1:1.21.0-1ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built in commands.
(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system."
does anyone have the solution to this ???? i've searched on google but no success!!!
Easiest way to solve it is probably just to do a reinstall. You did try that, right?

Strange, maybe 14.04 isn't compatible with your hardware somehow. Try 12.04 LTS
