[DEV] [BOTH] ubuntu on Galaxy Tab (natively)

I have been working on getting ubuntu running natively with the netbook gui (unity) on the galaxy tab (7" touch display at this resolution is ideal). Kernel and filesystem are almost complete, but I need one last piece of the puzzle, if anyone has the galaxy tab hardware keyboard and know how to flash a kernel with heimdall could they join irc.droid-life.com/#modadroid-galaxy-tablet and catch my attention (lilstevie there too)
Here is a screenshot of netbook-launcher-efl running on the tab
Ubuntu Desktop 2D
LXDE
e17 Illume-home (phone/tablet)
EDIT1: Ubuntu is now booting into a shell more coming soon
EDIT2: screen shot
EDIT3: added 2 extra screenshots
EDIT4: updated name to follow new rules.
Coming soon is a CDMA kernel and Images
Kernel Image 0.1 POC - 2.6.32.9 (non update1 international kernel):
this should work for all GSM devices:
Internal SD (mmcblk0p3) install:
mmcblk0p3
Wow..Surely looking forward to this one..Keep us updated and good luck
This will complete the Tab
Great News!

wow....marked
is it possible to dual boot?
Anyway to get the netbook edition of Ubuntu instead of the full desktop version? Seems like it would be better with the smaller screen.

that's what he's doing (unity)

Great news mate! Hope there will be dualboot optinion for Android and Ubuntu

Anything any of us can do? I know my way around linux, I can code a bit. I can host anything, too

well at the moment I am trying to sort out some kind of interactivity (shouldnt be too much work, just playing around with the back and forth with fs images, 2GB takes a while to push to the device

Dualbooting isn't much of an option at the moment, unless with some bootloader hacks we can separate boot modes to boot the boot partition with no keypress or recovery position with keypress, as at the moment it just triggers a different init script in the initramfs, ubuntu has some differences at a kernel level

Great job !!!!!
Dual boot . . . What a dream

I'm going to have a look at this today for my Meego install, the Android init isn't passed anything by the kernel so it must look at some /dev or /sys entry to work out whether a recovery boot was requested.
I've certainly had no real problems replacing the Android init with an init script and exec'ing the renamed Android init from that to get a normal boot, the question is now how to make it useful by reading the bootstate.
As an aside, I see you were asking about the keyboard, I'm also interested in this as I have the same issue as you - i get a login prompt but can't login. I was thinking that getting a usb keyboard to work would be nice, but otherwise I'll have to make sure I bring the network up and either start adb or insmod an ethernet gadget driver (assuming such a thing will work with the Samsung patches).
Anyway keep up the good work

sounds like you are stuck in a similar position to me, any driver that is not the samsung android eth gadget does not want to compile for me, the path that i am taking is trying to get the wlan module loaded and using a script to associate it to my wifi network.
On another note started working on fbdev black screen, but something none the less
any progress on this?
Bump

wow
not at all bothered about dual boot on this project..
im absolutely excited about ubuntu working as a native os though, that would be amazing, if its anything like 'Dcordes' ( '@htc_linux' ) build for the HD2 this will be a real winner for the Tab, all the phone functions need to work too like texts and gsm, i guess if HD2 can do it then Tab can too..
looking forward to the projects future

Dual boot ROM + Linux posible?

Hello, I've been looking around and I'm asking this question:
Would it be possible to install a dual boot with a ROM (phone ROM, don't care if Sammy, AOSP, CM, PA...) and any linux flavour?
I think Note2 has a decent computing power to run some basic linux stuff, and would like to test it, but as far as I have found, there is a Dual boot project (that allows you to boot two different ROMs) and the Ubuntu Touch project (that I understand leaves your phone out of the android world.
Is there anything I can do to run any linux flavour in my Note2?
Thank you.

[Q] kali linux (modules) CM11

Basically what i want to do is run kali linux and use my tp link wireless dongle on n7100, i know its possible on cm10.
Thanks a lot.

[Q] Pure Linux Phone OS ROM Possible on ZF2?

Hey all. Ever since I learned about the ZF2 and it running on an Intel CPU/SoC vs a typical ARMv7 or ARMv9-based CPU/SoC this idea came to mind. Would it possible to develop a pure Linux (non-Android) based OS/ROM for this device? I run Funtoo Linux (a Gentoo derivative) on one of my desktops and now on a laptop I'm sharing with my brother, and it works great. Having this (or something Ubuntu-based to ease on pkg installs via binaries vs compiling from source for everything) on a phone this powerful would be awesome as well. Besides drivers for baseband / bootloader (of which I know is currently locked at the moment I'm posting this thread) how difficult would this be to accomplish? Does this device boot with EFI? I'd think compiling a kernel for it would be easier than a typical Android kernel since Intel spec is easier to compile for... I'm no developer, but that's my take on it.
Thoughts?

KVM Kernel

Hello everyone.
As in subject, I'm looking for a KVM Enabled Kernel, to flash on my device.
I'm looking for:
1) File to download
2) Commands to FastBoot
3) A way to ensure it works
Thanks in advance for any help.
Bye, Ivano.
P.S.: I forgot to mention, it's a ZE551ML Z00AD
P.P.S.: Nevermind, I successfully flashed KVM on device, but I can't use it on Limbo yet (I get an error about missing modules, but they're there).
Any help greatly appreciated.
I never got limbo to work, I have exact same model you have (Z00AD) and I've got kvm working with QEMU.. Limbo doesnt detect kvm properly it doesn't see the kernel modules loaded..
Theres a few guides on here how to use QEMU but as a VERY rough idea on what you need to do is:
Install a chroot linux on the phone (I used Linux Deploy to set up Ubuntu with Xterm)
After chroot setup, install qemu-kvm with apt. And on the Android OS install aSpice client from play store
Move the install images/hdd images to the phone storage (if preinstalled os hdd with Virtualbox or something)
Launch qemu with --enable-kvm and -cpu host to get kvm working, adjust other options as needed
Sorry for such a quick write up I'm busy atm, can help more later
My problem is that gpu won't work with chroot
You wont get gpu access with chroot, some devices have GPU's that have some support but unfortunately our
specific PowerVR chips dont have support.. using QEMU with kvm will allow you to still use all other parts of your hardware, and using spice will allow the use of the QXL video driver that provides some basic acceleration in the guest.
Either that or in the chroot compile and build your own version of qemu with -virglrenderer enabled, but the virgl option is very beta and may not work
Edit: Limbo is just a front end to QEMU so you wont have any new features that qemu doesn't have.. just Limbo is a port of qemu that's stripped down to work on Android
In this case, I don't need this anymore.
Thanks for your help.
What kind of 3D software/GPU needy task are you needing? Because in theory I've read that a linux chroot may still have some graphics acceleration on android devices due to some linux device firmware has OpenGL ES support (which is what runs on android devices, a subset of standard OpenGL) but how I personally am not sure.. I know there is GL4ES that supposed to allow OpenGL calls to be converted/linked to OpenGL ES calls but you would have to compile it from source as it's aimed at arm hardware..
