I would happily throw any dev 20 bucks that could get this going, looks really interesting. Anyone else interested in this yet?
I'd be interested as well

Well, one step at a time. First get it to work, then dual boot is the next step.
Finally, it might be possible to run them "together", for example running CM apps in Ubuntu Touch.
I mean by transforming the base Android system into a fully-fledged CM and connect it up to Ubuntu.
Not sure that is feasible yet, but there might be a chance. And it is sure a while down the road.

I don't think that's possible because none of the Java code is in Ubuntu mobile.

Really disappointed that it's only a "skin" on top of CM10.1, proper ubuntu is what we need, to actually run linux apps but still, every advancement is positive but I'm not interested in another android port, I like jelly bean as it is, AOSP ftw.

It's not running on top of CM10.1 is running on top of the CM10.1 kernel (and some drivers for the hardware) and I wouldn't say it's fair to call that a "skin". That's like calling every linux distro a linux skin.
true, my frasing is wrong but it doesn't change the fact that it's not capable of running linux apps, it's just another take on android, and on a tablet such as this I'd love to be able to dual-boot into android/linux, let's see where archlinux will take us but with the way things are changing and people upgrading to newer devices this will be left behind as well eventually, and to think that since the first quad core device a year ago today we call the tegra 3 a low-powered chipset compared to the powerhouses coming out, and people still don't have a quad core cpu at their home pcs and laptops, anyway, offtopic, let's see...
as far as I heard from many different people now it is just something to show the skin as main features like wallpaper, rotation and others aren't working yet although they should... Basically I would prefer a dualboot solution with stock ubuntu and android, but just my personal opinion...

This is to the devs, I'm sure you've all heard about the program Canonical is running to get Ubuntu on the Nexus 7. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/27/ubuntu-nexus-7-installer/
Anywhere here's the link, I hope you guys can get this to work because the lapdock and native ubuntu would be the best. I know it's a leap, but it would be sweet.

Wasn't referring to Canonical supporting us... That's kind of why I was hoping devs would see this. Maybe it could be modified for our device after/if we get a proper kernel/drivers and regardless it's pretty interesting even if you don't own the device.
Moved to the appropriate forum.
Ain't there already nvidia tegra kernel for linux? We would only need some drivers for more gsm related stuff. (But only if anyone wants to make calls)

There are drivers for Linux but it would be a huge work from our devs to manage booting on a kernel that supports these drivers.

It's for the tegra 2, but I believe it's either the harmony/ventena board, so it's similar but different from ours.
EDIT: and I know this has been discussed before, but would this http://www.nvidia.com/content/devzone/linux-for-tegra.html assist at all in native port?
From what i learned lately. Android kernel works differently in some aspects than linux. I think we could we could replace safetly any kernel with that from nvidia with ventana support(of course without gsm, gps support). Someone said that android kernel doesn't probe hardware just directly connects to it. On the other hand linux kernel does probe hardware so if anything would be not supported it wouldn't use it, so instead generic drivers would be used (like on x86). Or am i totally wrong?

Hey folks, I'm keen to start work porting the gnexus image for Ubuntu to the N7000 when it's released later this week. Is anyone else keen to join this effort?
While very familiar with the linux commandline, servers, desktop linux, and flashing my phone, I haven't compiled much code before and am unsure where to start. I would appreciate any advice you might have.
Looking forward to getting this os running on our original notes.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Deleted sorry wrong post.
I would love to see some support here. Push!
I'm presuming you're going to need to build an unbuntu compatible kernel for the note, mobile devices don't tend to work in the same way as desktops, so the pretty much universal kernel model used on the desktops don't work too well here. (size being the major consideration).
Not really looked into what they are doing, I'm presuming they will release source under gpl, so at least you will be able to diff a standard gnex build and the ubuntu. You can then use that as a basis to rebuild for the note.
"Porting" an image if that's all they release is going to end up quite messy.
EDIT according to techradar they will release source http://www.techradar.com/news/softw...galaxy-nexus-nexus-4-coming-next-week-1131567

You think every android phone runs on the same kernel? Think again.
It's always a possible that they will use an Android kernel for the gnexus or n4 builds, but it's unlikely, as Android has some features that don't play too nicely with a mainstream Linux build.
Not seen this yet, nor code for it, so can't say exactly what they are doing yet.

See what happens when it comes out then, but would seem from the information Canonical is presenting that they are using standard android kernels. Will be interesting to see.

Yes, but what he say is that Ubuntu runs from Android Kernel. The CyanogenMod 10.1 kernel. And as we have CM 10.1 on note, the kernel is not a problem
Yep, definitely looks doable now. Love cyanogenmod and ubuntu.

Maybe after MWC which is the 25th of this month... Check out www.ubuntu.com is where I see that.
I would love to see this on our Tab, but considering the low-end requirements...
I don't mean to be a buzzkill, but this will probably never see the light of day on our tabs. We do have a Desktop Ubuntu ARM port, and a fully working Linux kernel for other OSes but even with everything in front of us, I doubt it will happen.
I think the only way we could get it is if someone takes the source code and probably do some crazy mods to it to get it to it to make it work for our tabs.
I am quite the optimist so here's to hoping!
They will publish a porting guide in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting, so there is a lot of hope!

Not really. If the device supports CM 10.1 (which it does), then it supports Ubuntu. Canonical even posted a full guide. Problem is, who's going to do it?
Edit: Okay, I guess we do have someone to do it. So there's hope
Sorry. I've been trying, but it hasn't been syncing. I'll try on my build server when i get a chance. Hopefully by this weekend, I will have a chance. Not sure why the sources won't download locally but my server should have no issue.

Hey guys, today was announced the Ubuntu version for tablets! The system looks amazing! Watch the presentation video bellow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h384z7Ph0gU&feature=em-uploademail
Canonical already launched a release for Nexus devices. Do you guys think we could see a Rom soon for our beloved device? What did you think about Ubuntu for tablets?
Look at this link for further information: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/02/...by-canonical-nexus-7-download-coming-thursday
And this one too: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/02/canonical-unveils-new-ubuntu-tablet.html
I just can't stop imagining me having this amazing system without onscreen buttons and docking it, turning it magically into the desktop OS...

Will be interesting to see what comes out of it for out part. The Arch port is being worked on by one dev only, but he has done a pretty darn good job on his own hah. Let's hope this will somehow boost the work of getting a good *nix port to out device!
Well, we could make a petition that they should support TF300
But the first impression seems really good, especially that you get normal ubuntu if you plug in a dock! :good:

Splitscreen to have like 2 apps active at the same time is awesome! Something I miss on Android since I have a tablet
Guess it'd be fantastic to have ubuntu on the tf300t - but I wouldn't dare to flash it without having nvflash as a "super" backup ^^
Two points to make: A) ubuntu mobile its not the same as ubuntu desktop, its framework is based on qt/qml which isnt used at all on unity/ubuntu desktop so its a completely new project.
this its not necessarely a bad thing as a lot of people loathe unity but probably means also that its a bit raw.
B) what they displayed is just a developer preview, far to be ready for shipping to final users so its a given that only a little selection of hardware its supported at this time.
this said I dont see any reason that people shouldnt start working at hacking it for other platforms, and as tf300 is really similar to n7 it shouldnt be extremely complex.
Canonical just released images for Nexus devices. I added a link to the main thread!

He didn't say he wouldn't ever, just that it wasn't worth his time yet, and it isn't. It's currently a very alpha product, with zero developer support yet. He'd basically be porting it for the novelty factor, which isn't much of a motivation. Perhaps when it's in an RC or RTM state, he'd be more willing

The porting guide is up. It says there that it uses Cyanogenmod as the base for the system (using the kernel and some drivers, no android specific) so devices officially supported by Cyanogenmod should be easy to port to. So if someone is brave enough to try this on their Transformer all the information needed is in the link.
